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.
D is the only sensible choice, there’s really no debate here.
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.
I mean D is a powerhouse lol
D, because I’m British and can’t trust them forrins to not put too much spice like salt in my food.
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.
Dividing the world according to this uniform mathematical system is so stupid. Is this secretly a pro-gerrymandering psyop?
D without a doubt. Southern tip of Italy, Greek, Turkish, Persian, Pakistan, Indian, Chinese, Thai, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Australian, just to name a few.
Has to be H, because I live there and if I had to get every meal imported to me that would be very annoying.
D because of the huge variety in food, and the tiny chunk of Italy means I still technically get Italian food :)
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.
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!
I had Domodar from West Africa for the first time about a year ago. Its now one of my favourite things to eat.
Can you give me a list of some of the greatest hits?
G has mexican, cajun, and tex mex. D has filipino. In set for life :)
D has virtually all god-tier food Asia has ever produced, plus a bonus of whatever culinary bullshit Australia vomits onto the world stage.
D has a ton of Asian goodness
Also, D even gets the entire bay of Naples.
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.
Mediterranean, middle eastern, indian, Chinese, se asian. I can live with that.
+1 for D
It’s literally where the world gets most of their spices … the English fought wars for those places and those spices
To sell them to the world. Never get high on your own supply.
Indian and Chinese. I’ll miss my local Moroccan place though.
Aussie wine and cheese is arguably even better, yet another reason to go with D.
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
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.
Even a tiny bit of italy, D is heaven!
Don’t forget Japan! Pasta, sushi, curry, pad Tai, nasi. All the good stuff
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.
I dont think any other country would claim this, so I pretty sure this counts as Japanese pizza
Well, I was hungry…
“Double deliciousness all the way to the crust!”
Language trivia: In Japanese the “crust” of the bread is called the “ears”
A mini dog pizza? What is this?
~booking next flight to Japan ~
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.
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.
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!
Yeah and Malay food 😋 god, d is easy
G, I can’t live without Mexican food.
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.
A purely for the pains au chocolat
A for rotten shark, snails, frogs and the blandest food possible e.g. toast with mayo
best answer. With H, you’d get a chocolatine.
Me, who knows how globes work:
I’m perfectly fine either way.
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.
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.
Don’t forget Chine-Mex!
??? If there is any good Mexican in China or vietnam, please tell me where.
Context clues are telling me that this is relevant to my interests.
Please, good sir/madam, what is Chine-Mex? Is it what I hope it is?
D is probably the best region.
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.
F
The picture makes me wanting a pizza pie
D is easily superior
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.
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!
Yeah it’s gotta be G for me too
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.
E and A are A tier.
A is obvious, but why E?
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.)
E’s got Ethiopia. I don’t know if Ethiopian rivals French though
Does the USA only include like hamburgers? Or are we talking about all of the delicious multicultural foods?
No French Fries, obviously.
G or D for me.
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.
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.
You forgot Puerto Rican and Jamaican food which is also in G.
B You get italian food but still can have Surströmming
blursed
Deal of the century
and pitepalt!

G or D. G is the logical choice but giving up Mexican food is hard.
