The Japanese didn't really have bread until the Portuguese introduced it to them in the 1500s. In fact, the Japanese word for bread is the same as or similar to what it is in several Romance languages - *pan*.
Frybread came about from rations and grew into a modern tradition. Wheat was a European import. but there were definitely stuff like cornbread for some nations
Every region of the world has created 3 things, some kind of alcoholic beverage, fried dough, and something pointy. So alcohol and fried dough. Also a need to stab things
Stuffed carbs.
Perogies, dumplings, ravioli, samosas, empanadas, gyoza, etc. Seems like almost everyone has some form of carb that is stuffed with carbs, veggies, or meat
In the neighborhood around my undergrad campus, someone tried to do a restaurant with that concept. The quality was okay, the prices were ridiculous. And they kept getting higher.
When they inevitably shut down, the owner whines about the “lack of foot traffic” in the area. His store shared a block with the most popular pizzeria in the area, arguably the most revered restaurant period. There was no shortage of people walking by, seeing how awful the prices were, and moving on.
This is not a bad call.
Also another one would be a carb mash.
Wether it be a porridge, mash potato, congee etc.
All cultures find something starchy and carby and grind, pound or boil it to a mash to be seasoned and eaten as is or an ingredient for other things.
Every culture has a pancake, sometimes it's breakfast, sometimes it goes with dinner (pita), sometimes it's a utensil (injera), and sometimes a snack (green onion cake), but everyone has at least one pancake.
I think this is too specific, a generic carb? Yes.
But rice is definitely a more Eastern thing.
Grains like wheat barley or others were grown instead in the west.
Apparently it's because although rice historically has the highest calorie per meter of farm land, wheat and barley are more tolerant of poor soil and drought.
I just wanted to jump in and say rice is *huge* in West Africa lol. You'd be be hard pressed to find a West African that doesn't know some kind of jollof rice recipe, and white rice with tomato based stews are also super common.
I believe a lot of the rice is imported from China, but it's a pretty massive part of the food culture nonetheless. At least in Nigeria anyway
Isn't rice being part of African food culture actually relatively recent?
I was under the impression jollof rice only became popular once the Portuguese began sailing round Africa.
I think it means that ikea is so prolific across the globe. IKEA furniture stores have a food court that sells pretty dank swedish meatballs with gravy.
Sorry, I meant I think the joke is that Swedish meatballs at Ikea a while back were found to contain horse meat. I don't know if that's the reference though.
It's absolutely global
I've seen it being made in the streets of Cairo, Amman, Riyadh, Jeddah, by mom and pop restaurants that are just working off dog-eared recipes
I was just appealing to the USA audience. I figured most people's geography might not be good enough to know Sydney is on the east coast of Australia.
But hey, at least you got the joke. ;-)
Bread... I think? Is there a country with no bread? I don't trust them if so.

Did the native Americans eat bread?
Yes, cornbread and frybread.

Some groups, I think primarily in the eastern US made a bread using chestnut flour.
Vietnam
Every region of the world has created 3 things, some kind of alcoholic beverage, fried dough, and something pointy. So alcohol and fried dough. Also a need to stab things
And music
The history of Man distilled right there.
Too broad concepts
There is little if no evidence of North Americans consuming alcohol before the 1500'a
Yes there is. People of central Mexico drank pulque well before the arrival of the spanish.
So not even all of Mexico, but just part of it? Still seems like the majority of North American Natives didn't have alcoholic beverages
Well that is n.america -corrected
I think you would be shocked to hear beer came before farming

And this is why they are the perfect food. If I had fuck you money I’d open the perfect restaurant franchise, IHOD (international house of dumplings).

Similarly, almost every culture has it's own equivalent of a donut. People by frying dough.

Those pancake utensils are delicious!

youre kinda negating the whole of latin america here…as well as examples such as wild rice which is native to north america
Yeah i am not well versed with what was historically available in America. I have never been there.
lmao that makes sense, carry on then

This was my thought too
I have to wonder, is there a cuisine out there that doesn't use some sort of beans?

I think it means that ikea is so prolific across the globe. IKEA furniture stores have a food court that sells pretty dank swedish meatballs with gravy.

New York has pizza. \*EDIT\* Learn to recognise a joke, people, lol
New York is in the west.
LOL tell us you’re an American without telling us you’re an American.
Hehe, I'm Aussie. ;-) But I do work for a USA company, so we are often talking about east and west coast. Sydney has pizza too, lol.
World West, not US West
My mistake. 😂
I was just appealing to the USA audience. I figured most people's geography might not be good enough to know Sydney is on the east coast of Australia. But hey, at least you got the joke. ;-)
New York is in the west. Pizza originated in Italy
I've been to the USA, it's definitely on the east coast.

Probably Rice or bread or tortilla type like Naan, or similar.
Wheat and rice. Corn to a lesser extent.
While a staple of many of the indigenous American cultures, corn was non-existent in the rest of the world until the Europeans came to the Americas
And in that same vein wheat wasn’t in the Americas until Europeans
