Oh, as for my cuisine rankings... (some may be forgotten)

 

1)American style BBQ/Pizza... I get a feeling not many people outside of the US have had a taste of really good US BBQ.  It's up there with anything.  Good reason to put Memphis on a must visit list for foreigners wanting to get a good USA expiernce.

Kids in the US love summer because of summer break from school.

Adults love it because it's grilling season... and it's REALLY hard to get a good accurate grilling represented in a restraunt.

2) Mexican

3) Chinese

4) Ethopian

5) Indian

6) Japanese

7) Spanish

8) Hawaian

9) Italian

10) English

11) Polish

12) Thai

13) German

14) Korean

15) French

16) Vietnese


Really been meaning to try Brazillian and Armenian lately but haven't had the budget for it.  Should mention i'm not a seafood guy,

Seriously.  Sometimes I feel like other cultures see it as lower or something, but I doubt they've tried the good stuff like you say.  N.A. FTW.

Go and discuss that with the Argenetinians and the Brazilians.

Generally, barbecue is grilled meat. Thats what the Neanderthals already did.

Big deal.

Lebanese deserves a spot... booooo

Haven't had it yet.  Those are the only 16 that came off the top of my head at the time.  Russian should be on their too though.  Probably towards the bottom.

I feel... sorry for you :P lol jk jk

Seriously though you should try it, it is a delicious cuisine with so much variety

Europe because the diversity of cuisines is beyond insane here.

You have english, french, spanish/portugalian, greek, italian, balkan, polish/ukrainia/latvian/russian, czech, skandinavian, hungarian, swiss,germany and turkish and probably some smaller ones .

And all of them are unique and have their trademark dishes.

Asia for me!



lolita on 02 November 2010

Asia hands down. Chinese, Japanese, Korean, some Indian (my mouth doesn't tolerate much spicyness), some Thai (same as Indian) and Libanese foods are so good!I could have those foods everyday. Close second would be French pastries... Mmm...



okean on 02 November 2010

In my opinion Europe and Asian cuisines are both great but are VERY different from each other in terms of some fundamental ingredients which I understood that I can't live without after only 10 days in Taiwan:

- High Quality Vegetable Oil (olive oil, sunflower etc.)
- Tomato paste
- Bread and any kind of pastry based on wheat
- Milk based foods (butter, cheese, yoghurt)
- Many green herbs
- Desserts (which are sweet!)

When I asked a guy where I can find cheese in Taipei he told he that I could go to a Mc Donald's :P 

That's how really bad it was.

North America, and it only takes one dish to claim top spot.

The Philadelphia Cheesestake

I could list a host more of real American food that is great, but you can't beat a classic such as that

EDIT: before judging, trying a cheesesteak outside of the philly area is generally a bad idea unless it is home made from an expert like me

Then I have to ask, since there seems to be a divide on it in Philly from what I've heard: Cheez Whiz or provolone?

As for Dinosaur, well... I have a friend that always gets tons of their sauce whenever he goes back to visit people in Rochester, so...

Definitely not Cheez Whiz, but I'm not against American Cheese even if both of them are processed cheeses. However, it can't be the individually wrapped crap they sell though that is very similar to Cheez Whiz, it has to be a quality brand like New Yorker that is more of an unprocessed cheese. As for Provolone, I'll eat that too and it is probably my preferred cheese for sandwiches, but I prefer a good American Cheese on a cheesesteak.

So I guess my answer is whatever I have in the fridge

100% Agree with this

The Philly Cheesesteak is the greatest food dish ever invented. 

And to everyone saying they have the best pizza is wrong unless you are talking about Chicago Style pizza.

New York, Chicago, California... all great pizza for very different reasons. Personally, I prefer NY style the most but they're all great.
