D without the slightest hesitation.

It’s D and it’s not even a little close. I’d be sad to lose burritos and jerk chicken, and not be able to try more African food, but yea D 10000%, no regrets.

Seems like everyone is answering “cuisine” instead of ingredients. All of France beats 1/6th of Italy. Bread making is France and India. But Canada has all the recipes and ingredient quality from all over the world.
If sourcing ingredients is the question, G more than D, if grown outdoors, but G has negative geopolitical support, and ingredients can be grown indoors in H. F is where coffee and cocoa come from, and I have addictions.

The only way this map is any fun at all is culturally. I’m in Canada, and it’s great, but tortiere and poutine and simpler stuff(we’ll exclude a good portion of stuff that’s just modified foreign foods like North American style chinese food) just wouldn’t cut it. And hea there are foods from the indigineous population but sorry if pemican doesn’t get me going like Southeast Asian food.

Urban Canada has cuisine from everywhere. You’re not forced to eat Canadian shit recipes. Though tourtierre is nice holiday tradition for me. Maple syrup is world’s greatest sugar. Indian/Chinese/Asian food with Canadian meat is great. Atlantic Salmon sushi, awesome.
Globalization of ingredients works quite well almost anywhere. Tomatoes, melons, strawberries perhaps exceptions where travel in season can be 10x the experience. Local indoor growing would solve this, cheaper than traveling to have a melon.

H, I’m Canuck and old. Don’t want to change what I eat this late in the game.

F because i live there
alphabethunter@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Same. I’d pick my home turf no questions. I like pasta and chinese food, but I’d miss rice and beans way more than those.
Legom7@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Other than everything invented in Brooklyn I don’t know what H is, but I think it’d be good enough for me.
blarghly@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Answer is obviously H. H has NYC. NYC has food from everywhere.

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…
TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.zip 3 months 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.

Food is so interconnected culturally, how do you even say where food really comes from? As an obvious illustrative example that most people would agree with, consider orange chicken. I don’t think many people who really know about it would argue that, no, it’s not American and actually Chinese. But at the same time, if we’re willing to say variations of dishes are unique, then by that point you can basically get any food from any region. Because where do you draw the line? Does a different ratio of spices make it a unique dish? If so, well, every meal is probably unique depending on how precisely you measure.
TL;DR: If you agree orange chicken is an American dish and not a Chinese dish then you can probably get any food from any region so the choice doesn’t matter.

Tribals: let’s divide food like its politics
Food lovers: I fucking love all food, and what I didn’t like, I at least tried
JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 months ago
Yeah, and what even makes something “authentic”? I remember Alton Brown saying that he observed that many foods that places are known for (e.g., Chicago and deep dish pizza, though I don’t remember if he used it as an example) often are better outside of that area because in that area everyone often tries to differentiate themselves from each other rather than focusing on the dish. (I don’t necessarily know if I agree with this, but it was an interesting thought.)
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 months ago
Does the USA only include like hamburgers? Or are we talking about all of the delicious multicultural foods?
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 months ago
No French Fries, obviously.
billwashere@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I need a much sharper image around that middle part before I’d make a decision.
Treczoks@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Horrible split, going right through my country, my state, and my administrative region.
For that, I would have to think if food from the other side of the river is considered illegal…

I cannot live without sarmale and mici
Valmond@lemmy.world 3 months ago
A of course, you get both French and Italian food.

If it weren’t for Sardinia being centered on this map, half these regions wouldn’t stand a chance
Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 months ago
G.
Because I don’t wanna change. But D is tempting. I love Asian food, and the best Asian shit is from that Southern region.
NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 3 months ago
Okay first we gotta see what each region actually has. I'm gonna only count countries where a significant fraction of the area is included (so no including Italy in D or A or France in H). With that in mind,
A: French, Germany, British Isles.
B: Central, Northern and Eastern Europe, Italy, Russia.
C: Balkans, some Eastern Europe, Italy, Russia, northern half of Central Asia, Caucasus, Turkey if we're being generous, China, Japan and (North) Korea.
D: Middle East (sans Egypt), Indian Peninsula, China, Southeast Asia and East Asia
E: Some Arabian Peninsula, eastern North Africa, sub-Saharan Africa
F: Most of South America, western North Africa, West Africa
G: Some South America, Central America, USAmerica, Spain
H: Spain and USAmericaSome are obviously stronger than others stares at D and G, but wow this is more even than I expected. A gets hard carried by France, B gets Italy and Eastern Europe, C gets (some of) that and also Armenia and East Asia, E gets hard carried by Egypt (sorry for the whole rest of Africa, y'all need better PR), F is the birthplace of the potato and while H is just a subset of G it's a pretty decent one. Without further ado, here's my tier list:
S: D, G, C
A: A, B, E, F
B: Hm4xie@lemmy.ca 3 months ago
A also has Belgian waffles and Icelandic Skyr (it’s like yogurt, my wife likes it).
morphballganon@mtgzone.com 3 months ago
… is Egypt known for their food? I was thinking Ethiopian was the best of that section.
NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 3 months ago
I don't think it's usually associated with the country, but you will find a good amount of Egyptian stuff in a Middle Eastern restaurant. I think falafel is the most popular example.
Rhaedas@fedia.io 3 months ago
If the lines were rotated some 22 degrees you'd have more of a realistic regional division of foods types for most places. As it is G and D has so much diversity that it's not much of a loss either way.
remon@ani.social 3 months ago
B followed by all the other sections that have a slice of Italy. No point in living in any of the other sections.
altima_neo@lemmy.zip 3 months ago
G all day
LemmyThinkAboutIt@lemmy.zip 3 months ago
G. Mexican, BBQ and (possibly?) Hot Dogs, all I need. I also couldn’t live without Dr Pepper.

I partake in a little cannibalism, so it doesn’t matter to me.

So then D has the most people
sdfric88@lemmy.sdf.org 3 months 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
CatDogL0ver@lemmy.world 3 months ago
The picture makes me wanting a pizza pie
bier@feddit.nl 3 months ago
This can’t really be answered in a simple way. Like a lot of “traditional” European dishes use potatoes. But at some point they where not native to Europe. So does that count? Or something like New York style pizza, is that American? Because in that case the Netherlands for example has a lot of Indonesian dishes that are more variations on traditional Indonesian food (made by immigrants using more local ingredients).
I think food is the best example why immigration and mixing of cultures can really improve humanity.
