No one can beat India in this ig. I am Nigerian but even I agree Indian food is best
Well some western north people actually choose looks rather than flavour bcs it's stimulate u to eat even the food also north people it's already habits they don't have much spice so eats with only salt and pepper it's already good back then.
.
Expect from south people we got easy spice also habits when the flavour not enough they always add more
honestly as an Indian, Thai and Filipino food is fucking amazing. I got invited to a friend's birthday and shes filipino and i when i tried adobo i think i ascended to heaven. And its very easy to make. I got like a container with the spice mix and i make it from time to time. Never dissapoints
For thai food, Pad Kra pao and green curry are insanely good.
German food is very interesting imo. Big fan of Schweinshaxe and Currywurst, sauerkraut is also pretty nice but I know many people who dislike it. Only bone to pick with it is how salty some of the dishes can be.
As for Vietnamese food, I've never had it in the country itself but I've been to some "authentic" restaurants recommended by local Vietnamese people in Paris. Quite refreshing to say the least. Rice paper rolls are amazing.
Objectively? Thai.
This is based on the spread of each cuisine and do they sell in other countries.
French and Italian are great but the reason they are massive is due to the French empire and Americanized Italian food.
Japanese and Chinese cuisines are spread by their diaspora and soft power, Indian cuisines also benefit from their diaspora + British Empire.
But there is not a big Thai diaspora or empire yet there are Thai restaurant everywhere. Surely that means people outside of Thailand loves it simply because how good it ia.
It's a joke in America that white people can't handle spices or flavor... We had a period of time where everything was a casserole, and or had potatoes and starches in it. Funnily enough Cajun food is pretty intense and that's from the swamp french here who are mostly white or Haitian.
Personally I think European flavors can be pretty intense! With lots of unique taste profiles. Cheeses being a great example. Just not "Spicy" in terms of hotness. I'm pretty sure a flaming hot cheeto would kill some of y'all, and not from the chemical preservatives 😂
I'm not going to say American because it's really just a melting pot of world cuisine, and the only cultural food we have here that's truly mind blowing is Cajun. Highly recommended.
Honestly, yall really do be sleeping on quality Aussie pub food. Nothing hits like a counter meal at a good country pub.
Mixed Grill, Based
Chicken Parma, Gods gift to food (ps if you order order mash and veg instead of chips and salad your citizenship is about to disappear)
Surf and turf, Need I say more
Aussie Pizza, yall about to yap and say its Italian but I'm pretty sure nona would cry if she saw a bbq chicken pizza or a fully loaded meatlovers from the local
Beer batter fish and chips, Poms wish the could make food this good
All that served with a pint for less than the cost of a meal at maccas, Aussie pubs are the peak
