D has a ton of Asian goodness
post
Easy D for me. It has Indian, Bangladeshi, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese. I don't think I need anything else in life lol. Come to think of it, the only food I've had in the last month or so that isn't from D is pizza, but I can live without pizza.
(I'm Indian so there's obvious bias. But even if Indian and Bangladeshi food were removed, I'll still choose D. I'll be a little tempted by G because of Barbecue, but Korean barbecue is pretty great as well.)
I dont think any other country would claim this, so I pretty sure this counts as Japanese pizza

"Double deliciousness all the way to the crust!"
Language trivia: In Japanese the "crust" of the bread is called the "ears"
Dude that, and then there's like most of West Asia from Afghan to Lebanese with everything in between, plus Turkey and even a sliver of Greece and Italy.
With Greece and Italy giving us European in addition to Indian and Asian, D covers pretty much everything and makes it incredibly balanced. it's the only choice.
D is the answet and it's so unfair. It has the entire diverse range of Asian cuisine, a glimpse of Western and Latin (through Australia-NZ and Philippines), and a slice of Medditeranean. It has all the ways to cook rice!
I’ll be a little tempted by G because of Barbecue, but Korean barbecue is pretty great as well
Galbi is great, but don't forget you also get Australian barbecue. Which, while not exactly the same as American barbecue, is much more similar to it than galbi is.
Also Korea. I've only been to two Korean places and they have always had at least 1 nice vegan option
D, hands down. Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, Iranian, Turkish, Japanese, Chinese. Literally my favorite foods
Edit: Also includes a little bit of Italy!!
Plus "Australian" which is like, everything due to being a high immigrant nation. Lotta greek food for starters
Mine, too! (Also Korean and Lebanese.) What an excellent range of options.
I would miss Mexican food, but I'd make do.
D without a doubt. Southern tip of Italy, Greek, Turkish, Persian, Pakistan, Indian, Chinese, Thai, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Australian, just to name a few.
B You get italian food but still can have Surströmming
G.
Love Mexican and south American food, Creole, Southern, Cuban…plus the US has stolen foods from around the world, so I guess I get to keep pretty much eating whatever.
There's also some Morocco, Spain and Portugal in there.
I mostly agree, on American Southern and Mexican alone.
D is tempting though, I love all Asian food. The variety from Middle Eastern, Indian, Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. I might have just convinced myself to go D while I was writing this actually...
There is a community of Chinese immigrants that settled in Mexico as well. So some Asian cuisine can be included as well.
I'm not sure that's the rules, in that case you can get anything from America.
Everyone in the Americas are immigrants other than Natives, all our food is from someone else’s culture, borrowed and mixed. So what’s the answer? You’re only allowed Native American food? Where’s the timeline cutoff for what constitutes foods in these regions?
Same with all of Europe and Asia. "You can only eat food from the original neolithic people". See how stupid you sound.
I’m sorry, what? I pointed out the absurdity of trying to say what the food is of the region when, particularly in the US, everyone is an immigrant. So your response is everyone eats Paleolithic foods now? Your idea is to take my “absurd” question and double down on it? Why not have a reasonable discussion?
Agreed. However - my exposure to Asian foods has been mostly those foods popular in western culture like sashimi, restaurant Thai or Chinese, etc. There’a a lot of if that I haven’t been exposed to or eaten, and even though I think I’d probably like a lot of the new stuff, there’s plenty I think I could never get used to like still-kinda-living food on my plate, nattō, etc. So I opted for the biggest slice of multicultural food I could get.
Because most everyone is an immigrant? Where do you draw the line and call something native or not? Otherwise we’re eating nothing but succotash and whatever else the First People had. Is anyone saying you can’t have a hamburger in Thailand?
D, Italian, Japanese, Vietnamese, Chinese and Indian are already 90% of my diet
D without a doubt. Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, parts of China. It's even got some Mediterranean in there. That's basically all I eat already.
You have ME cuisine as well, which is indisputably amazing
Edit: And Greek as well!
D because of the huge variety in food, and the tiny chunk of Italy means I still technically get Italian food :)
D has virtually all god-tier food Asia has ever produced, plus a bonus of whatever culinary bullshit Australia vomits onto the world stage.
Meat pies, Lamingtons, Tim Tams, Chicken Salt & Bundaberg Ginger Beer
And Foster's. Not to drink. It's made from rye wheat, so if you let it rot it has a small chance to produce ergotamine. Ergotamine is a hallucinogenic precursor that is believed to have been one of the causes of the Salem Witch Trials.
I recommend kangaroo.
Good lean source of protein. Don't overcook it though
B is being slept on in this thread. I mean, look at it - you get northern Italy, Germany, Austria, Hungary, the northern Balkans, Sweden, and Finland. If you like pasta, pizza, grilled meats, fries, potatoes, sausages, licorice, a mindbogglingly large number of breads and cheeses, etc. etc. you'd be stupid not to pick that region.
Sad news: you wouldn't get any pizza, because that comes from Naples, which is in the south of Italy.
There is more pizza than napoli pizza
We were talking about national cuisines. To my knowledge Naples is part of the country of Italy.
Lots of peeps on the D train, so I’m going G. You’ve got the spiciness of Mexican and Caribbean paired with the savoryness of Guatemalan and Colombian. Jam packed with fish and chicken dishes. Ceviche, jerk chicken, jambalaya, fried plantains, cornbreads, tacos, and giant burritos. Southern Spain means you get paella chock full of shellfish and also Spanish olives. And in the far west you get a bit of Hawaiian flare, so a little bit of Japanese sneaks in.
Regardless D and G are S tier. E and A are A tier. Everything else is, well, a carb with sauerkraut and sausage.
Plus G gives you some of the best of USAmerican food like all the bbqs, cheesesteaks, American chinese, and all the random fusions that occur in the la, atlanta, and dc metros!
After living in D for half my life, the lack of decent Mexican food makes me a G person too.
I'll argue that C has a pretty solid showing. Southern Italy, Greece, Croatia, Serbia, the rest of the Balkans, Turkey, Ukraine, Russia, Northern China, Central Asia, Mongolia, Northern Japan. There's a lot going on there.
E and A are A tier.
A is obvious, but why E?
