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?
Me, who knows how globes work:
I’m perfectly fine either way.
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.
D is easily superior
Dividing the world according to this uniform mathematical system is so stupid. Is this secretly a pro-gerrymandering psyop?
B You get italian food but still can have Surströmming
blursed
Deal of the century
Unparalleled energy
and pitepalt!
Has to be H, because I live there and if I had to get every meal imported to me that would be very annoying.
Does the USA only include like hamburgers? Or are we talking about all of the delicious multicultural foods?
No French Fries, obviously.
The picture makes me wanting a pizza pie
lol can’t go wrong with A. Snails, frog legs, shark, whale blubber, seal, dolphin, herring, fries and cheese. Truly haute cuisine.
A contains just sliver of Italy too
And beans
G or D for me.
D is honestly extremely OP
Yeah no kidding. D and it isn’t even close.
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
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.)
Its funny that Italy is in 3 zones, increasing the quality of food of all three
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
The only options are D and G
Consider global warming
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.
Why is this centered of Italy?
everyone gets pizza
This map is doing flavor gerrymandering with D.
I need a much sharper image around that middle part before I’d make a decision.
G. Mexican and texmex. I hate Texas but holy shit Tex mex is like heaven.
F for all my Brazilian food and churrasco needs
yeah, it’s hard to beat BR food for me, most of the world don’t know what they’re missing out
D still gets you Brazil and american BBQ though.
it… doesn’t?
G bc thats where I live already
I’m torn between D and G. I love Thai, Chinese, Japanese, and Mexican/Central American cuisines, not to mention American barbecue.
You can get Japanese and Chinese in Hawaii and Cali just fine.
I mean, sure, but it's not from those places, which is the point of the OP.
F
Husmanskost is one of the best cuisines but damn there’s no contest against D.
Gimme the D for the rest of my life please
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 😄
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 😎
B, it tastes good like American food but it won’t cause you an early death.
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…
G has MD blue crabs and Scrapple.
Case rested.
Why is this centered on a random spot of warm water in the Mediterranean Sea?
It’s not called the “middle of the earth” sea for nothing.
Mexican and Texas BBQ? Say no more.

A purely for the pains au chocolat

best answer. With H, you’d get a chocolatine.

A for rotten shark, snails, frogs and the blandest food possible e.g. toast with mayo
