Who is the nation with the best food?

I am going to go with italy. They have ravoli, spaghetti, lasagna, pizza, and other pasta. plus great bread. They put olive oil in fucking everything.

How can one nation be so based when it comes to food? I'd say Mexico is a close second.

I'm Australian and I'm not really sure what you're talking about. Also, we're talking about cuisine not ingredients.

Personally I think that we pay way too much for certain things - for instance avocados, chicken and beef are expensive as fuck.

I eat a lot of fish which is fairly cheap here, although I would never say that Australian cuisine is actually better than anywhere else considering that we don't have a proper national cuisine it's all stolen from Asia and Europe.

I think Italian and Greek is the best in Europe and Asia is too competitive for me to say a winner.

I would say that the American versions of whatever cuisine it has appropriated is objectively worse.

Mexican Amercian food is disgusting compared to actual Mexican food.

Italian American food: (New York and Chicago Pizza, Meatballs and Spaghetii) absolutely revolting compared to Italian food

Chinese American food: Honey battered chicken, fortune cookies. Absolutely disgusting compared to real Chinese food.

Actual person with a passport here, the answer is Italy because of the wine. If we are required to ignore alcohol, the answer is Mexico. Mexico's alcohol culture is light years behind the food culture which is a real shame. inb4 muh tequila muh pulque muh cerveza muh mezcal, yeah yeah been there done that. At the end of the day Italy could carry the entire rest of the world with its wine culture, and I say this as I am drinking a French wine which I love.

First and foremost, I fucking love Italian and Mexican. However, Italian and Mexican are certainly not the best cuisines in the world. They're both fucking delicious, but they lack the refinement that French and Japanese have.

I'd say Chinese has some interesting cuisine, but not the best. Of course, "best food" is subjective so obviously not everyone will agree. But China has some very odd dishes. I mean, I think it's fair to say every cuisine has odd ingredients/dishes but China really does take it to a new level.

Traveled about a lot as a kid. Parents were low-level diplomats.

Unless I'm allowed to be chauvinist and pick my own native cuisine, I like Peranakan most of all followed by Sri Lankan. Something about naturally occuring fusion cuisines that really tickles my pickle. Best home cooks on earth are people from country A who for some reason live in country B and are forced to use country B's ingredients with country A's techniques and know-how.

For restaurant food... honestly? America (or Japan or the UK). Even though Americans who are not southerners are by and large the fucking WORST homecooks on the planet, their restaurants are top notch. Similar situations are true of Japanese and Brits.

The only country where I couldn't find a single thing to be excited about eating is Estonia. I imagine Finland would be similarly blah. Not bad, mind you, just... ever watch Futurama? Imagine if the Neutral Planet from that show had a global cuisine. That's what Estonian food is like.

American food is generally brought down by two things: shit quality ingredients and the tendency to turn every dish that arrives on our shores into something that resembles a cheeseburger or a meat + gravy + starch all on one plate dish. Served with a sweet drink.

While that's the dominant vibe it's fortunately nor all we've got to work with. We're still an immigrant nation. If you don't like Italian American you can find places that do regional Italian. If you don't like Cali or Tex Mex you can find places serving Oaxaca or Puebla style food. If you don't like Chinese American you can find Cantonese, Sichuan and even Fujian if you go to your local Chinatown.

And we're also a wealthy nation, which means you don't have to suffer commodity grade ingredients and overall low standards if you're willing to spend the dough. The best of everything is available, if only to those willing/able to pay for it (or grow/hunt/fish for it). We also have some of the world's best restaurants.

So while standard issue American food is pretty gross (chain restaurants and most of the garbage in our supermarkets) our best stuff is world class, because the world comes here. Places like Italy, France and Spain may have higher overall standards, but you can find the best of what they do here (if you can afford it) along with the best of our own cuisine and a greatest hits from around the world.

tl;dr The US may have overall low standards, but at our best our food can go toe to toe with any country in the world.

I've driven across the country multiple times and while the country has some amazing restaurants you will mostly find shit like Olive Garden and Panda Express and awful local places that sell greasy burgers and shit like fried mac and cheese. The exceptions are mostly on the coasts or in the south/southwest, where you get great seafood, great Tex-Mex, and great barbecue.

Bullshit. I've been to every continent except Antartica and South America. US standards are very high for food safety/hygiene, but when it comes to quality we settle for very low because we like our food cheap. Walk into a supermarket in France and the cheese is ten times better than a supermarket here, as is the wine. The variety and quality of the produce available in farmers' markets in Italy and Spain is better than most farmers' markets here. Chicken might be harder to come by in dodgy places like Panama and Morocco, but it tastes better than what's for sale in supermarkets here. And even fast food level shit in Japan is better tasting than its US analog. Go to a small town in the US and if you can find restaurants that aren't chains they're still very likely to be serving you SYSCO or US Foods garbage. You don't see that shit in Southern Europe. And the seafood in Australia is hard to beat (as is the lamb).

My point is that the US at it's best can compare to all of those places. Our best winemakers, cheesemakers, farms and restaurants are among the best in the world. But our standards, exemplified by our supermarkets and most of out restaurants are awful.

when an individual from a nation made up by mainly foreigners uses hat type of degenerated vocabulary, he (you) are a regressive self whack job

xenophobic retards like you are used like trashy puppets by your domestic traitors, NOT by "foreigners" or "niggers".

Only Lisbon. The one good meal I had there was really salty baked chicken with rice and the ground up greens they like. Total food coma afterwards, but delicious. I know Portuguese food well, because I lived in an immigrant neighborhood and dated a Portuguese chick whose immigrant mother was a good cook. Not the most varied Southern European cuisine, but the dishes they do well they knock out of the park. I'm really fond of clams cooked with chorizo.

As for Spain, I love the food there - it ranges from very good to fucking amazing. The only knock I have on Spanish food is their love for really shitty white bread. Some examples you come across are just plain terrible. The Portuguese even have them beat on that count.

The only difference between the U.S. and yuropoor is the fact that it's EASIER and less expensive to run a business, so we simply have MORE businesses trying to make a living running low budget food joints. We have just as many mid to high tier food places as anywhere else, barring maybe Japan, and more than most.

There's plenty of bars, small town, and low budget food places in Europe, and they serve the same processed bullshit you can find in every part of the world that actually has the economy capable of producing a Sysco type of company for food distribution.

You can find cheap processed bullshit anywhere in the world, true. And you can find some of the best food in the world in the US.

What I see as the problem is that for a nation as wealthy as we are our agricultural policy has been to grow corn. Not even corn for us to eat, but the kind of shitty corn that you use for animal feed or play around with in the food science lab in hopes of making something edible out of it. And that's most of our agriculture right there. It's squandering out resources to make a whole lot of cheap, bullshit food, which is the standard in much of the country, unfortunately.

If you don't live near good small farms, in a major city or are not rich there's a chance you can live your entire life in America without tasting particularly good examples of such basic things as fruit, vegetables, meat, cheese or wine.

"Cuisine"

Japanese / Italian, Popular, Well Perfected with strict recipes and ideas of what dishes should be, Good food/restaurant culture, Tasty variety of dishes.

Hi there!

You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my best to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

We're not a particularly herby cuisine, you know. It's rare we use more than one herb in any given dish and even rarer when it's not one of the same five we always use (parsley, basil, celery, oregano and rosemary). Even with all our regionalism, other herbs are seen as a peculiarity and we seldom-to-never mix herbs. Ever.
