What do you think is the top cuisine in the world?

[brianmanahan]

British food is awful. One time I was at the BBC and I asked for chips, expecting real British chips like the potato slices, and they gave me freaking potato chips! What the hell?!

what?! those are crisps!

 

[IndyColtsFan]

clarityzedd, all ATOT's been talking about for days

Oh yeah, the alleged used car salesman “baller” who is trolling and sounds a bit like alkemyst. Except alkemyst was comedy gold.

 

[Gryz]

All americans should listen to this song. Just once. Then they'll know the difference between chips and crisps. And they won't forget.

Tandoori chicken...

I always try to be a very moderate eater of animals, but this makes me want to gorge myself on the meat.

I last got a flu shot from an Indian woman and explained to her that I planned to go to an Indian restaurant that evening (I rarely go out and sit in a restaurant!). She recommended I order thus (and I did):

Chicken Tika Masala (also known as Chicken Malay, she said)

Spinach Saag (they had Saag Paneer, the waiter said that was it... it said spinach, etc. incl. garlic, and homemade cheese)

Garlic Nan (I didn't see it on the menu, but plain nan was included in the chicken dish, for $5.99 on their lunch menu, it was Saturday)

Smoking and BBQ aren't American cuisine?

Spanish, technically, but the different versions have become very American in their own way. Argentinians have been preparing their beef and lamb and whatever the same way, for as long as Americans have been doing it.

 

[zinfamous]

I drive an hour one way to eat pho. I don't do that for most food. But I've been practicing making pho at home and I can make pretty good pho now using Korean bone broth.

I fly from the east coast to the west coast every once in a while to eat pho at a particular joint that I like. what we have around here in DCMA, while OK, just doesn't compare.

OK yeah, I make that trip for other reasons, but I set aside an afternoon or more to make the ~1hr or so trip on PT to get to that pho joint.

Reads as very interesting and tasty.
Masala spice is also very tasty.
When i made some homemade rice dishes, i sometimes used masala and it tastes great.

Well, I listened but am no more the wiser. Crisps are potato chips?

3 words: sticky. toffee. pudding.

oh and steak & kidney pie

I really do enjoy English toffee, but rarely indulge in it. Have yet to visit England and sample the cuisine. Last time I ordered fish and chips it was a complete disaster (Berkeley, CA).

 

[ImpulsE69]

What kind of foodie doesn't know how to spell mussels? Unless you are talking about bodybuilders. Yeah, screw those guys.

:LOL, yea just realized that when i was looking at the quotes

Overall, American food is the best in the world. I rank Japanese among the lowest.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

The cuisine that is in front of me at the moment is the best.

 

[sdifox]

Best steak I've had is in the US but you can find good steaks in lot of countries. I hear Argentina has good beef.

I miss Argentine beef

 

[sdifox]

I think the best beef is actually Wagyu beef from Japan, followed closely in second by Hanwoo beef from Korea. But you never hear people say Japan or Korea have the best steaks. Steaks are more Western cuisine. I'm more interested in Argentina BBQ style of cooking than their beef. In my limited opinion, US has the best BBQ but I've yet to try Argentina BBQ.

Plenty of Argentine places in the States.
Parrilla is what you are looking for.

 

[Starbuck1975]

Mediterranean diet, which to me comprises Italy, Spain, the Balkans, Greece, parts of the Middle East and parts of North Africa...basically cuisines that include a lot of fish, charcoal spit meats, olive oil, whole grains and tomatoes/cucumber/peppers

Japanese a close second

I do like how we take existing cuisines & make them "better" (for American tastes). Chinese food & "Italian" pizza, in particular. I would take the American versions of those two cuisines over the native, authentic versions any day

I get what you're saying, but it's funny to note that American Chinese isn't even Chinese at all. It's completely invented by a Jewish American I believe. Then China started to have a work-program where all the Chinese would move and open a restaurant and cook that 'Chinese' food.

I'm so knowledgeable in this because I watched a 40 min Netflix special (Finding General Tso or some crap).

Steak houses are dime in a dozen. I've eaten at Argentine steak houses in the US and in Mexico. I'm not looking for fancy steakhouse. I'm looking for BBQ. There's big difference. Below is picture of meat. This is BBQ. You're not going to find this at any Argentine places in the States.

I want to try a vpn pizza.

It's funny we think of it as better versions and the natives think of it as
bastardized.

 

[Eikelbijtertje]

Italian/French/Japanese in no particular order. If I HAD to pick one it'd be Italian...

P.S. a beautiful moist Texas BBQ brisket...hmmmmm....anyone been to City Meat Market in Giddings, TX?

Rofl you guys did NOT make Chinese food better.

Agree with pizza though.

I like ramen but I sure love pho if I had to choose. Where i grew up (MA) pho rocks.

I had my share of ramen here yea:
Santouka (mitsuwa)
Ippudo
Ivan ramen (awful after watching his netflix special)
That David Chang joint. Too salty.
And more.

If you’re in Cali, Daikokuya in little Tokyo is one of my favs. I’d take ramen over pho any day! Anything you need hot sauce and oyster sauce to make edible is not worth my time...
