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.
Dinner is ready!

Those are foods? Absolutely deranged
devedeset@lemmy.zip 13 hours ago
D or G
D gets you most of Middle Eastern, all of India, most of China, all of South Asia, most of Australia, most of Japan. Huge variety, extremely high number of options, lots of spice availability, lots of meat and nonmeat protein options.
G mostly because of Mexico alone. I’ve traveled there a bunch recently and the food game is insane. You also get the US South (which does have a lot of great food outside of deep fried everything), Spain, Portugal, and Morocco.
C gets an honorable mention mostly because of southeast Europe. That whole area has been a crossroads for a very long time.
jol@discuss.tchncs.de 12 hours ago
I’m solidly on D ground, but G because of Mexico alone?? That’s just plain madness or hopefully pure ignorance. Central and South America have so much more than just Mexican food.
nialv7@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
You forgot Puerto Rican and Jamaican food which is also in G.
fenrasulfr@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
D is probably the best region.
BigPotato@lemmy.world 8 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.
weariedfae@sh.itjust.works 8 hours ago
It’s gotta be G. Soul food, Mexican, fry bread, bbq, all the fruits from that region, yum.
I’m not big on Asian foods, I enjoy them well enough but the only thing I’d miss in D would be Indian.
Thrawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 hours ago
Wouldn’t be a problem. G includes the West Indies places like Trinidad which has plenty of food that originated in India. So not the full list of all Indian food but it is perfectly real and not some crappy fusion restaurant knock off.
Results of the British colonial era bringing a lot of people from India after ending the official slave trade and still wanting people to work plantations. So they switched from literally slavery to the not quite but still awful indentured service. The British would get the lowest social groups in India that functionally couldn’t own property in India to sign contracts for many years of work in exchange for a 1 room shack and a micro plot of land of their own.

Please, good sir/madam, what is Chine-Mex? Is it what I hope it is?
Xella@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
G, I can’t live without Mexican food.
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 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.
Xella@lemmy.world 29 minutes ago
Exactly. No need for anything else.

best answer. With H, you’d get a chocolatine.
visnae@lemmy.world 3 hours ago
A for rotten shark, snails, frogs and the blandest food possible e.g. toast with mayo
TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.zip 3 hours 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.
SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
lol can’t go wrong with A. Snails, frog legs, shark, whale blubber, seal, dolphin, herring, fries and cheese. Truly haute cuisine.

G. Mexican food will survive anything, including being left out for a couple days and not killing you when you forget how long it’s been left out.

Has to be H, because I live there and if I had to get every meal imported to me that would be very annoying.
finalarbiter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 hours ago
I’m torn between D and G. I love Thai, Chinese, Japanese, and Mexican/Central American cuisines, not to mention American barbecue.
tyler@programming.dev 14 hours ago
You can get Japanese and Chinese in Hawaii and Cali just fine.
NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 13 hours ago
I mean, sure, but it's not from those places, which is the point of the OP.
JackbyDev@programming.dev 4 hours ago
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.

Food lovers: I fucking love all food, and what I didn’t like, I at least tried
JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 hours 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.)

Husmanskost is one of the best cuisines but damn there’s no contest against D.
Gimme the D for the rest of my life pleasehanke@feddit.nu 11 hours ago
I’m a casual husmanskost enjoyer, but I’ve never heard of anyone claiming it to be one of the best cuisines out there.
I don’t disagree with you, but I was surprised to hear that take 😄
guy@piefed.social 8 hours ago
It has the salt, the umami, the sour in brilliant combinations and it leaves you fed in a distinct way compared to other foods! You just want to lay down and rest on the food afterwards which you don’t get from many other cuisines 😎

The one loss from G is Detroit Style pizza, but Tacos, Texas BBQ, and Southern biscuits and gravy make up for it
