literally everything from europe is overrated, with some exceptions from italy and southern france. Most of it is just "we rearranged these ingredients without any flavor differences and gave it a brand new name", or "we have a fancy name for this really basic bitch technique that literally everyone does (sauteeing, etc)". Worse if it's northern europe and your dish is literally just ingredients, or rotting fish.

after that, Japanese cuisine is definitely overrated.

Chinese and Indian cuisine are definitely underrated. Korean is either perfectly rated, or even overrated.

Mexican is maybe slightly underrated. Don't know enough about anything else to comment.

Traditional regional Chinese underrated but they are gaining popularity. Lots of sichuan and hunan restaurants popping up in London. Also in UK indian food is so popular it's probably overrated but its pretty anglicised so I'm not sure if it really counts as 'Indian'

Indian food is fucking garbage so any good review it gets is overrating it.

[Anonymous No.10222460]

Mexican and Italian both just depend on specific ingredients being fresh and prepared in a simple way, so i consider them overrated in that in a good kitchen set up with the right equipment and ingredients a trained animal would be able to prepare them.
That being said they are both tasty and i enjoy them they just hide behind "authentic" to disguise the fact that a monkey could cook it if equipped and taught much like "authentic bbq" if you have a good smoker and a good bbq pit its hard to fuck it up

Ethiopian is overrated.

It's not bad, but the bread becomes a wet ace bandage after a few minutes of the slop sitting on it.

A lot of people seem to feign liking it because it's one of the few "black" cuisines that has some traction in the West.

Aside from Ethiopian the only really internationally recognized African cuisines come from North West Africa (Arabs) or South Africa (White). Ethiopia is pretty much the only place in black Africa that has a unique cuisine that other people actually want to eat.

I've never heard of South African cuisine or seen a restaurant for such, but I'd be interested. MENA food is usually good, but doesn't have the same level of virtue signaling as Ethiopian, at least in my area.

I don't really see many people jacking off to Vietnamese food, and people who "love" Korean food usually mean they went to a Korean BBQ place one. That being said Italian and french food are the holy duality of overrated (Japanese is close behind them though). Their both good in their own right, but know people who act like they are the most amazing things so that they can seem more "cultured."

Give me some examples of British food. No one here eats toast sandwiches or any of the other memes you see.

Plus I reckon Britain has some top quality native raw ingredients (seafood, game, cheese).

To be fair. It's not a top tier food culture but completely underrated. There's plenty of good dishes. You've probably never eaten a Suet pudding lad

If a cuisine gets all its reputation from a single mediocre broth based dish then it’s pretty fucking shit

Pizza is different because there’s no other cuisines that got a similar thing. Noodle soups are common all over asia, with Japan and China putting far more effort into it than 3rd worlding vietshits. Even laksa is far more interesting and superior

When I went to Portugal last time I stayed in the Minho near Ponte de Lima. I went to this little restaurant above a shop absolutely packed with locals. Everyone was ordering the same thing. Giant plates of pork fillet, chorizo, black pudding and offal (liver and intestines) served with a huge bowl of rice cooked in pigs blood (pic related).

We were served local vinho verde, this exceptionally sharp white wine that paired perfectly with the meat. It was the one of the best meals I've ever had and it was cheap as fuck.

Plus all the wine I had that holiday was great value. I live in the UK and buy Portuguese whenever I can now cos its such great value.
