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.
baatliwala@lemmy.world 40 minutes ago
I live in D, but regardless it’s so stupidly stacked it’s nearly impossible to choose anything else.
ThunderQueen@lemmy.world 34 minutes ago
Im torn between D & G lol
GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 2 hours ago
D is the only sensible choice, there’s really no debate here.
ytg@sopuli.xyz 2 hours ago
Definitely. East and Southeast Asia, the entire Indian subcontinent, most of the Middle East and parts of Greece and Italy?!
So unbalanced.

Nah mate it’s the Steak and Cheese pies from New Zealand that make it.
Thteven@lemmy.world 50 minutes ago
All these people picking D have never had real Mexican food.

D section.
All the most interesting flavours come from D section.
There also lies the birthplace of spices. Wars were fought over those pices. The earliest forms of global trade was formed over those spices. Europeans started colonialism largely driven by the need for regular access to those spices.
Do not underestimate the power and value of spices. No other section, as presented here, compares.
Dreaming_Novaling@lemmy.zip 33 minutes ago
G instead of D for me, because while I love Asian food, they also have a lot of spicy-sweet foods, and I hate spicy-sweet. Just do sweet, or just do spicy, but don’t mix them in one. I hate sweet heat, there’s few dishes that can make me like it. I also don’t love a lot of tropical fruits and Asian fruits, I’m a basic bitch. But Tex-Mex all day? I can live with that, plus some Creole and soul food? Set for life. I will miss Asian food though… Curry, ramen, Kung Pao, lumpia…

mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 hour ago
It’s a hard choice between D and G for me. G gets all of the southern US cuisine that Europeans are always blown away by, along with texmex, traditional Mexican, street tacos, Louisiana seafood, Cali and Florida seafood, etc… But D gets India, the Mediterranean (maybe even Italy? I can’t quite tell on this map), Korean, Japanese, south china, etc…
If I wanted to commit to consistently good food, I’d go with G. But if I wanted a wider variety with a broader spice palette, I’d go with D.
DJDarren@sopuli.xyz 1 hour ago
D, because I’m British and can’t trust them forrins to not put too much spice like salt in my food.
icelimit@lemmy.ml 2 hours ago
D represents something like 50% of the world population. The variety there is likely sufficient to sustain anyone indefinitely.
Although everything in the global south likely has varying degrees if spice, so those with intolerance might be better served with one of the northern slices.
Greg@lemmy.ca 5 hours ago
D without a doubt. Southern tip of Italy, Greek, Turkish, Persian, Pakistan, Indian, Chinese, Thai, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Australian, just to name a few.
chunes@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
G or D. G is the logical choice but giving up Mexican food is hard.
hotdogcharmer@lemmy.world 47 minutes ago
A. I’d sooner pop my clogs than not have my rice pudding, black pudding, beans on toast, Eton mess, spotted dick, coronation chicken, and vindaloo.
mere@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 hours ago
D because of the huge variety in food, and the tiny chunk of Italy means I still technically get Italian food :)
fading_person@lemmy.zip 3 hours ago
F is one of the best choices, but most people from the northern hemisphere will miss out because they never had a chance to meet our culinary.
JandroDelSol@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
I was gonna say, F has West Africa and a ton of South American countries as well! D is a good choice, but imma go with F as well!
peetabix@sh.itjust.works 2 hours ago
I had Domodar from West Africa for the first time about a year ago. Its now one of my favourite things to eat.
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 hours ago
Can you give me a list of some of the greatest hits?
TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.zip 1 hour ago
I would say G, you get Mexican and southern US you get a bit of Brazilian, southern Spain, southern Portugal, Colombia, Venezuela and I would argue you get Italian in Sardinia and you even get Moroccan.
Stillwater@sh.itjust.works 14 hours ago
D has a ton of Asian goodness
wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 14 hours ago
Also, D even gets the entire bay of Naples.
NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 13 hours ago
Anyone who wants anything from A can get anything from there in Oceania.
But then that's food you can eat in Oceania, not food from Oceania. D has a ton of good Asian food, but for traditional Western cuisine you want A or H.
sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 14 hours ago
Mediterranean, middle eastern, indian, Chinese, se asian. I can live with that.
ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 14 hours ago
+1 for D
It’s literally where the world gets most of their spices … the English fought wars for those places and those spices
plyth@feddit.org 8 hours ago
To sell them to the world. Never get high on your own supply.
bigkahuna1986@lemmy.ml 14 hours ago
Indian and Chinese. I’ll miss my local Moroccan place though.
quoll@lemmy.sdf.org 12 hours ago
- aotearoa for cheese and wine.
EvenOdds@lemmy.zip 8 hours ago
Aussie wine and cheese is arguably even better, yet another reason to go with D.
HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
D has virtually all god-tier food Asia has ever produced, plus a bonus of whatever culinary bullshit Australia vomits onto the world stage.
0xDREADBEEF@programming.dev 2 hours ago
G has mexican, cajun, and tex mex. D has filipino. In set for life :)
ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 46 minutes ago
The one loss from G is Detroit Style pizza, but Tacos, Texas BBQ, and Southern biscuits and gravy make up for it
SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org 10 hours ago
Easy D for me. Indian, 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.
50_centavos@lemmy.world 11 minutes ago
D has a tiny sliver of Italy too.
mushroomman_toad@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 hours ago
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!”

PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 9 hours ago
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 Italy.
tiramichu@sh.itjust.works 8 hours ago
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.
xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works 6 hours ago
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!
Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 8 hours ago
Yeah and Malay food 😋 god, d is easy
gerryflap@feddit.nl 8 hours ago
D has all the good stuff. Middle Eastern, Asian food, even a part of Greek food. I don’t really see any competition to that.
doortodeath@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
Even a tiny bit of italy, D is heaven!
TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 hours ago
Don’t forget Japan! Pasta, sushi, curry, pad Tai, nasi. All the good stuff
wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 14 hours ago
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. Jam packed with fish and chicken dishes. Ceviche, jerk chicken, fried plantains, cornbreads, tacos, 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.
cAUzapNEAGLb@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
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!
FeatherConstrictor@sh.itjust.works 12 hours ago
Yeah it’s gotta be G for me too
shifty@leminal.space 13 hours ago
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.
NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 13 hours ago
E and A are A tier.
A is obvious, but why E?
SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org 10 hours ago
Afircan food is pretty great. E has parts of Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Egypt. (Those are the ones that I’ve tried. There’s probably more countries with great food there.)
morphballganon@mtgzone.com 12 hours ago
E’s got Ethiopia. I don’t know if Ethiopian rivals French though
Xella@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
G, I can’t live without Mexican food.
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
In addition to Mexican, G also gives you southern American food and every major type of American BBQ, soul food, possibly both Chicago and New York pizzas (line is close), etc.
ordnance_qf_17_pounder@reddthat.com 3 hours ago
A purely for the pains au chocolat
tino@lemmy.world 3 hours ago
best answer. With H, you’d get a chocolatine.
visnae@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
A for rotten shark, snails, frogs and the blandest food possible e.g. toast with mayo
fenrasulfr@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
D is probably the best region.
BigPotato@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
Yeah, D gets you at least four entirely different types of cuisine and Australian stuff will still have that Euro/American vibe. Only downside is you’ll technically be allowed to eat Vegemite.
sdfric88@lemmy.sdf.org 3 minutes ago
D for sure but a strong showing from G. Can’t imagine anything else even putting up a slight competition to those options. I live in H and that would be a hilariously sad choice
