for me it has to be China but Japan Italy India and Turkey all have top tier food
You mean food full of spices right? People always mix up spicy(hot burning flavor) and spicy(taste of spices). I am always confused when people call indian food spicy and talk about how hot or burning it is when in reality it depends on regions but mostly it's not that hot but rather full of spices which is mainly the reason it's so good.
Some of those dishes was considered Persian at some point.
Don't forget that a few hundred years ago, the entire Arab countries, Pakistan, and the Middle East were all for Iran.
And this means that many of the foods we have in Arab countries or Iraq, etc., were originally from Iran or were slightly modified from Iranian foods.
Anyway, my friend, I will definitely invite you to come to Iran one day or go to an Iranian restaurant one day and I can host you and guide you and im sure you gonna be amazed from our dishes!!!
Number one for me has to be China, the diversity in flavors and sensations just makes it the best in the world. You can go to Chongqing and get your tongue burnt off or you can go to Suzhou to have as many sweets as you can ever imagine. The way those guys are able to take a duck and cook it to absolute perfection always impresses me, even though I grew up in close vicinity to French cuisine, another country cracked at making ducks. Their innovative use of uncommon ingredients is also just doggone awesome.
Speaking of French cuisine, it is my second favorite cuisine. The intricacy of the foods and the various techniques they've invented really appeals to the science part of my interests, as many of the techniques such as poele and sous vide all follow principles of food science and therefore are able to amplify the best flavors in the ingredients. Simple but awesome French dishes such as foie gras, frogs, and snails are also so regionally unique that it makes the cuisine stand out even more.
Italian food is overrated, Spanish food is underrated.
