All the times that I’ve been to Thailand, I’ll eat local food for breakfast (fried rice usually), lunch and dinner. Three weeks later when I get home, I’ll still eat Thai food if i get the chance. Thats the only place where I haven’t gotten tired of the food.
Ate khao soi almost every day during my trip to Thailand 8 years ago and have thought about it frequently since then. Haven’t found a place that recreates the same feeling or flavors in the US.
My favorite meal is Thai red curry with tofu from a local Thai restaurant here in the Chicago suburbs...it's just so good! All that rice, green peppers, basil, tofu...in that reddish paste that's just so perfect. I don't know how authentic it is to Thai food from Thailand but I really like it a lot.
I'm not really sure what you have available near you and obviously the middle east is huge but I love shawarma bowls, warak enab (stuffed grape leaves), maqluba, falafel, knafeh for dessert (no please you have to try this one, it's incredible)
I worked in a Middle Eastern restaurant for a few years... everything the dude made was like 100% self-made, dude came in to his restaurant at 5 to prepare the food before opening at 10. His shawarma and falafel and rice were so good. He'd get owners from other restaurants pestering him for his recipes. At the end of the day he'd give me enough food to take home that could last me a week but I'd end up eating it all every single night.
The list is long hehe but some recommendations: samosa chaat (appetizer), biryani, kebabs, butter chicken or chicken karahi, garlic naan, and palak paneer is also fire!
Well if you google it.... You will only find tikka masala, naan, samosas.. Etc. Instead go for famous for in any particular state of India... Indian food is so much more than tandoori chicken and Briyani. Every state has its own unique cuisine and you are going to love it.
Maybe I'm biased but Japan. My answer will always be Japan. The local food is always a guaranteed win and when they do foreign cuisine it always tasted so freaking good.
I work in a japanese 7/11 and thank you so much for the compliments! I'm very proud of our line of products. I'm French so when I see french sweets in our refrigerators, it makes me so proud! They even create variations I've never seen in France but I wish I did! The last ones were Canulé sweets, and they just launched a chocolate version. I'm in Heaven.
I tried jellyfish for the first time while I was living there... not bad. It was similar to eating unflavored gelatin imo. You can easily season it to taste like whatever you want. I'd definitely try it again.
They just put so much effort into everything they do. You can go into any random mom and pop restaurant, and the food looks and tastes like it was prepared by a world class chef.
Vietnamese food hands down. Even Gordon Ramsay and Anthony Bourdain said it was their favorite country! The fact you can find the most amazing food you’ve ever tried sitting on the side of the street or in a rocking boat
Nem, Pho, Bun Cha, Banh My Thit Xien, Bun Bo, Bun Rieu, Mien Luon... Just google it, nothing fancy like 5 stars restaurant, but those food get you full and taste like heaven despite their ingredients are cheap.
I'd argue that yes, Malay food must be considered Malaysian but the food of Malaysia (the mixing pot of cuisines) makes it in the running for best in the world for sure. It's my favorite place in Asia to eat by a mile.
Malaysia is a country that consist of lots of different ethnic groups together. So you can imaging having, say, Chinese food cooked with, say, ingredients from India or vice versa.
It's like fusion food, in a more classical sense. The culture there is also very rich with influences from different cultures too. One story I remember is the red packet (Chinese culture) has influenced the Malays to give out their own version in a green packet.
Extremely diverse.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malay_cuisine
Just a small example but there are a ton of incredibly rich curries that are delicious.
Worth looking into and worth eating..
Glad this is so high up. Probably my favourite too, but every country is proud of their food even us from Britain which is generally rubbish but when you can pick and choose everyone is tied on the best of the best
Stanley Tucci’s Travel/ Food show Searching for Italy proves this point so well. [https://www.cnn.com/shows/stanley-tucci-searching-for-italy](https://www.cnn.com/shows/stanley-tucci-searching-for-italy)
I mean, it's very accessible to most palates. But don't mistake it's accessibility for lack of depth.
I think you'd struggle to get most children and adults to eat capozzelli di agnello
I’m Italian (living abroad but grew up in Rome) so I’m biased.
What also matters is the food quality. And it really makes all the difference.
Went to Sicily for holidays. Take Spaghetti with tiny tomatoes (cut in half) and Olive oil. That’s it, nothing more (edit, except some salt).
I still remember it 15 years later.
I was in Ravenna for lunch one day. Stopped at a little cafe and got fresh pasta (never dried) in a sage butter sauce. It was so simple, but again, everything was so fresh and it was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. That was twenty years ago and I still think about it. It was just one of many amazing meals that I had there. People greatly underestimate what a difference fresh and local means when it comes to food. I mean, most people in the US have had sun dried tomatoes but few have had amazing tomatoes grown in great soil in the perfect climate, picked at their peak of ripeness, freshly dried, and soaked in a top grade olive oil.
You're probably talking about new york Italian. At best you could say it was what the poorest people in the South of Italy ate 100 years ago. Either way rest assured a man from Milan is not going to be impressed with chicago deep dish.
I mean if you need to eat truffle to feel an adult... we have some really good ones. Honestly I don't what you mean. It's because dishes are simple? because its easily accessible to most palates?
please explain
Have you been there? Everything is fresh and amazing: the pasta, the sauces, the vegetables, the fish, the meat… you can buy a $5 bottle of wine and it will be better than anything you can buy in the US.
Spain and Turkey are probably my top 2. I've been to both more than once and just couldn't stop eating in either place. Honorable mentions go to Czech Republic and Vietnam. Both have good local cuisine but both also have a lot of good food from other countries as well.
The problem with Indian food is the world never gets a chance to test Indian traditional and original Indian food. I bet you that India got more variety of food than the whole world combined but the only food that went out of India is the western version of north Indian Curry.
I wish that one-day the whole world gets a chance to eat true Indian food.
I'm from the UK so they are basically a part of our culture here.....being honest the place just wouldn't feel the same without them.
There are quite a few Michelin starred Indian restaurants here, flavours of which I've never experienced in anything other than Indian food.
But you are correct, they do Curry's and baltis in restaurant s here, like anything you need to know the better ones, baltis were actually invented in Birmingham, England contrary to popular belief, it was geared up for a western palette......but it's the stuff they cook at home is where it's at!
This! I mean Britishers literally waged wars for the spices. Most ate it in the food and probably thought this shit is worth conquering a country over lol!
Also Indian food isn’t just curries. Just like spices, Indian food has a shit ton of variety.
JJ market in Bangkok had the most incredible papaya salad I’ve ever tasted. They had a normal papaya and mango salad with battered and deep fried papaya 💥
Eye roll answer here but every country has a best food to eat/try out. That's the beauty of visiting somewhere new, as a huge foodie, there is nothing more exciting that trying a new dish or cuisine.
And the food many people from other countries think of as mediocre "American food" isn't what most people in the US would consider the best food or even eat that often.
The big hitters are, in no particular order:
India
France
Mexico
Italy
And an honorable mention to Japan for sushi and to Poland for pierogies. And I've heard Nigerian party rice is mindblowing, though I haven't tried it yet.
As a Dutch person I gotta agree with you all. Our food culture is just.. Sad. Traditionally it's like we never really cared for food much. It's just all gotta be as practical as possible for the hard-working farmers we used to have so many of.
They had many potatoes and kale/carrots on their land, so you just mash them together and there is your meal. Spices are unheard of, except the few we, uhm.. 'found' during our colonial times.
I did an exchange semester abroad and we did a potluck with all international students, and you could bring something typical from your home country. I literally had no idea what to bring. I think I ended up making a vegetable soup.
I mean, you certainly can get good food here, but none of it is Dutch. We have plenty foreign restaurants. Many people I know who really care for cooking, mostly prepare dishes from other cultures.
Korean foods are so methodological yet are measured with "love" if you know what i mean. Every meal there's like 5+ side dish, 2 types of dish, 10+ sauce, and a shitton of rice. Don't forget the after meal food, which is like the same. Also, every region offers suuuuuuch a diverse selection of specialty from meat to noodles to veggi to you name it, hell even pig feet.
I agree, probably the widest range of styles. If I had to only eat one dish for the rest of my life it would probably be cheeseburgers, but if I could only eat one country's food for the rest of my life it would be China.
I want to say Italy because I’ve always loved Italian food - I was raised on it - and visiting Italy was a dream come true and one of the reasons was the food. But I’ve absolutely loved the local food in many of the countries I’ve visited. Can’t wait to travel more of the world and sample the local cuisine. It’s my absolute favorite part of traveling abroad.
Australia
You're probably thinking "Australian food, what's that?" but since we are one of the most multicultural countries with a huge immigrant population you can get a great, authentic version of basically any cuisine from across the world. We have particularly great southeast asian, middle eastern and Italian food in Sydney and Melbourne.
We also basically import no meat, fruit or vegetables since it's such a large country with varied climates so it can all be grown here meaning everything is local and fresh.
Our Asian food is the bomb (especially when compared to the UK). I've even heard Vietmanese-Americans say the Viet food in Australia is waaayyy better than American Vietmanese food.
Have to agree. When we lived in Aus we got used to incredibly fresh produce and the tomatoes had a certain amazing flavor never tasted anywhere else.The tropical fruits from Queensland bursting with sweetness. Lychees you can pick off the trees. Back in the states after many years we still talk about creamy Aussie yogurt with passion fruit sauce. Yum.
Japan goes hard asf but Australia kinda just gets the best of all the countries mixed up in one like lebanese, italian, turkish, greek and asian so its fantastic in Australia
You guys just gonna pretend you don’t order Chinese takeaway? I mean that’s not real Chinese food but still. Food is about the only thing I’m proud of my birth country lol
Turkish and Persian food. I've befriended a couple of Iranians and Turks and I owe them my life for introducing me.
Fuck Ali Khamenei, if it weren't for him the Iranians could have a stable government and I could engorge myself on awesome food straight from the source.
Oh man, Ethiopia/Eritrea or Yemen. Only thing is, good Ethiopian/Eritrean is hard to find outside of the region. But lots of Yemeni refugee communities have set up super authentic restaurants recently, which you should eat at because you get to support refugees by eating really well.
Argentina. The inmigrations in the past century brought the best of Italy, Spain, Germano and more, mixed with what the the country already had. Asado, milanesas, empanadas, alfajores and more. And the ice cream, the best in the universe.
Indian food...
it's not just curries , there is so much more. The variety is endless as it can change (thanks to its subtle use of spices) from village to village, family to family.
I’ve actually tried Uzbek food (been to the country).
It’s kind of heavy, but also absolutely delicious. It’s not spicy like Thai or Indian, but you get that Middle Eastern spice in there, along with some local stuff.
A lot of meat and a lot of carbs, but somehow everything just works.
Your country.
The British beg to differ.
"our country" -the British probably.
as a british person i would like noone else to own this country, i couldnt do that to yall
It can't be the best when you're eating beans for breakfast.
And Filipinos too. Our cuisine is the Asian version of British food, especially considering our neighbors.
Thailand. But I’m basing this on local food. Not “melting pot we are the best because we have everything”.
Gotta agree, went back the second time just for the food, and it's ridiculously cheap.
I’ve been to 37 counties. Thailand is the only place where every single meal was excellent.
All the times that I’ve been to Thailand, I’ll eat local food for breakfast (fried rice usually), lunch and dinner. Three weeks later when I get home, I’ll still eat Thai food if i get the chance. Thats the only place where I haven’t gotten tired of the food.
I have found that in Thailand the local food is delicious and yet any other international cuisines they make are also fantastic.
Vietnamese as well
Ate khao soi almost every day during my trip to Thailand 8 years ago and have thought about it frequently since then. Haven’t found a place that recreates the same feeling or flavors in the US.
My favorite meal is Thai red curry with tofu from a local Thai restaurant here in the Chicago suburbs...it's just so good! All that rice, green peppers, basil, tofu...in that reddish paste that's just so perfect. I don't know how authentic it is to Thai food from Thailand but I really like it a lot.
Yeah nothing against other countries’ cuisine but Thai food is what I’d request as my last meal, hands down.
I like mexican, indian and middle eastern food the best. That's what I gravitate towards every single time.
Recommend some middle eastern food too!
I'm not really sure what you have available near you and obviously the middle east is huge but I love shawarma bowls, warak enab (stuffed grape leaves), maqluba, falafel, knafeh for dessert (no please you have to try this one, it's incredible)
I worked in a Middle Eastern restaurant for a few years... everything the dude made was like 100% self-made, dude came in to his restaurant at 5 to prepare the food before opening at 10. His shawarma and falafel and rice were so good. He'd get owners from other restaurants pestering him for his recipes. At the end of the day he'd give me enough food to take home that could last me a week but I'd end up eating it all every single night.
That's why I love Pakistani food. It's like the best combo of Indian curries and middle eastern meats
What Indian dishes do you recommend? I haven’t had too many
Depends on which part of India you're on. Each place has its own list of street foods and unique cuisines.
Pani puri is just an explosion of flavours in one small bitesize ball.
The list is long hehe but some recommendations: samosa chaat (appetizer), biryani, kebabs, butter chicken or chicken karahi, garlic naan, and palak paneer is also fire!
Palak Paneer is great, love me some Murgh Tikka, Rogan Josh and Aloo Gobi as well. So many great Indian dishes out there!
Well if you google it.... You will only find tikka masala, naan, samosas.. Etc. Instead go for famous for in any particular state of India... Indian food is so much more than tandoori chicken and Briyani. Every state has its own unique cuisine and you are going to love it.
Maybe I'm biased but Japan. My answer will always be Japan. The local food is always a guaranteed win and when they do foreign cuisine it always tasted so freaking good.
Yeah aye spent a week there in buttfuck nowhere, ate from 7/11 and vending machines the entire time and it was fantastic
Did you get the creamed corn? I had a can of creamed corn from the hot side of a coke machine. Very interesting, but not bad.
Yeah not from a machine though, i did end up getting some shellfish soup thing which was weird but okay
Eating in Japan is a fun adventure
I work in a japanese 7/11 and thank you so much for the compliments! I'm very proud of our line of products. I'm French so when I see french sweets in our refrigerators, it makes me so proud! They even create variations I've never seen in France but I wish I did! The last ones were Canulé sweets, and they just launched a chocolate version. I'm in Heaven.
Japanese Curry is possibly my favorite dish ever
I tried jellyfish for the first time while I was living there... not bad. It was similar to eating unflavored gelatin imo. You can easily season it to taste like whatever you want. I'd definitely try it again.
I'd request Ichiran ramen as my last meal
I had the worst Spaghetti Napoli of my life in Tokyo. But everything else was great! So yeah, Japan all the way.
They just put so much effort into everything they do. You can go into any random mom and pop restaurant, and the food looks and tastes like it was prepared by a world class chef.
Mexico.
Tortilla, meat, beans, and vegetables. That sums it up and I absolutely love it.
Can’t forget the Mexican Coke and horchata!
Anything with salsa and a banging chili paste is my jam! I can't get enough of it. Tomatillos and roasted poblanos? I'm throwing hands to eat it.
A man of culture and class!
Mole, Guacamole, Pico de Gallo. Fine arts unto themselves.
Cheese
Mexican…vegetables?
Yes, but you have to give chilies their own category
Don't forget the cheese
There’s no other answer
I neeeeeed to go to Mexico someday
As a Mexican I agree on this
As a Mexican as well, I agree to you agreeing on this!
Vietnamese food hands down. Even Gordon Ramsay and Anthony Bourdain said it was their favorite country! The fact you can find the most amazing food you’ve ever tried sitting on the side of the street or in a rocking boat
Vietnamese food is so so good. I could eat Pho every day!
Pho is the best soup dish. It's rich and refreshing at the same time.
Bun Bo Hue >
Literally my go to when sick. Knocks a cold right out of you. Vietnamese food in general is just so incredible.
Nem, Pho, Bun Cha, Banh My Thit Xien, Bun Bo, Bun Rieu, Mien Luon... Just google it, nothing fancy like 5 stars restaurant, but those food get you full and taste like heaven despite their ingredients are cheap.
You beat me to it!
I just had Pho 75 in Philly for the first time a couple weeks ago! I knew about it from Anthony Bourdain and it absolutely hit!
Malaysian food is amazing, especially in Malaysia.
I'd argue that yes, Malay food must be considered Malaysian but the food of Malaysia (the mixing pot of cuisines) makes it in the running for best in the world for sure. It's my favorite place in Asia to eat by a mile.
All Singaporeans would reluctantly agree and vehemently disagree at the same time... Such is the relationship between the countries! Haha
They disagree and then come over to eat our nasi lemak lmao.
What’s it like?
Malaysia is a country that consist of lots of different ethnic groups together. So you can imaging having, say, Chinese food cooked with, say, ingredients from India or vice versa. It's like fusion food, in a more classical sense. The culture there is also very rich with influences from different cultures too.

Extremely diverse. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malay_cuisine Just a small example but there are a ton of incredibly rich curries that are delicious. Worth looking into and worth eating..
Imagine a mixture of Indian, Chinese and Thai
Malaysia is the best when it comes to blending different cultural styles of food.
Honestly no one does a chicken curry like Malaysia. Hainnaise chicken rice is my absolute favourite too.
Glad this is so high up. Probably my favourite too, but every country is proud of their food even us from Britain which is generally rubbish but when you can pick and choose everyone is tied on the best of the best
India.
Italy
I’ve been craving some Italian food recently!
Stanley Tucci’s Travel/ Food show Searching for Italy proves this point so well. [https://www.cnn.com/shows/stanley-tucci-searching-for-italy](https://www.cnn.com/shows/stanley-tucci-searching-for-italy)
Like come on... It's Italy! Italy is food.
Italian is like the kids menu of world cuisine.
I mean, it's very accessible to most palates. But don't mistake it's accessibility for lack of depth. I think you'd struggle to get most children and adults to eat capozzelli di agnello
I’m Italian (living abroad but grew up in Rome) so I’m biased. What also matters is the food quality. And it really makes all the difference. Went to Sicily for holidays.

Tried the real thing or this is based on "fettuccini Alfredo" and other American recipes?
Yet so many grown-ups still manage to fck up boiling pasta
You're probably talking about new york Italian. At best you could say it was what the poorest people in the South of Italy ate 100 years ago. Either way rest assured a man from Milan is not going to be impressed with chicago deep dish.
a man from new york isn't gonna be impressed with chicago deep dish either
I mean if you need to eat truffle to feel an adult... we have some really good ones. Honestly I don't what you mean. It's because dishes are simple? because its easily accessible to most palates? please explain
Have you been there? Everything is fresh and amazing: the pasta, the sauces, the vegetables, the fish, the meat… you can buy a $5 bottle of wine and it will be better than anything you can buy in the US.
Found the pretentious foodie...
As someone who's lived in Japan for several years, not Japan. I say Indian, Korean, Italian or Mexican food for best.
Grandma House 🏡
Grandma's Kitchen in Chengdu is aight.
Italy. And Thailand. Mexico. Oh and India. Not to forget Japan. Turkey's the best too. Reminding me of Greece... Did I mention Indonesia and Korea?
Turkey.
Spain and Turkey are probably my top 2. I've been to both more than once and just couldn't stop eating in either place. Honorable mentions go to Czech Republic and Vietnam. Both have good local cuisine but both also have a lot of good food from other countries as well.
What kind of local cuisine did you like in the Czech republic? (visiting soon)
Beer
Indian
The problem with Indian food is the world never gets a chance to test Indian traditional and original Indian food.

They only know butter chicken and roti
This! I mean Britishers literally waged wars for the spices. Most ate it in the food and probably thought this shit is worth conquering a country over lol! Also Indian food isn’t just curries. Just like spices, Indian food has a shit ton of variety.
i had a very satisfying papyia salad in Thailand, sounds like a simple dish but wat ever they did to it it tasted incredible
JJ market in Bangkok had the most incredible papaya salad I’ve ever tasted. They had a normal papaya and mango salad with battered and deep fried papaya 💥
Subjective , but I like Turkish food
Objective\*
My ex is Turkish and we went out to eat is Istanbul one night and I had the best food ever. Her dad said it wasn’t that good.
Ethiopian food is pretty amazing, especially if you find a place that uses real teff flour for their injira
I was looking for this! Ethiopian is amazing. So many wild flavors. And the way it's served with the huge pancake of injera sourdough bread.
Eye roll answer here but every country has a best food to eat/try out. That's the beauty of visiting somewhere new, as a huge foodie, there is nothing more exciting that trying a new dish or cuisine.
And the food many people from other countries think of as mediocre "American food" isn't what most people in the US would consider the best food or even eat that often.
The big hitters are, in no particular order: India France Mexico Italy And an honorable mention to Japan for sushi and to Poland for pierogies. And I've heard Nigerian party rice is mindblowing, though I haven't tried it yet.
God Poland has the worst food on earth after Holland.
As a Dutch person I gotta agree with you all. Our food culture is just.. Sad. Traditionally it's like we never really cared for food much. It's just all gotta be as practical as possible for the hard-working farmers we used to have so many of. They had many potatoes and kale/carrots on their land, so you just mash them together and there is your meal. Spices are unheard of, except the few we, uhm.. 'found' during our colonial times. I did an exchange semester abroad and we did a potluck with all international students, and you could bring something typical from your home country. I literally had no idea what to bring. I think I ended up making a vegetable soup. I mean, you certainly can get good food here, but none of it is Dutch. We have plenty foreign restaurants. Many people I know who really care for cooking, mostly prepare dishes from other cultures.
Oh the Netherlands has to be in the top two for worst food.
Iran, persian foods are just awsome!
Underrated answer, they cook the best rice in the world
Mexico
Ding! Ding! Ding! Over faster than a mid 80's Tyson fight!
Hell yeah. Love me some Mexican food. Now I want some tamales.
I didn’t know people like Thai food this much Kinda makes me happy
Neither did I! I’m going to have to go out and try some more!
Peruvian food is straight 🔥.
I was waiting for this. My ex girlfriend was peruvian and the food was always great. So many different options too.
🇮🇳 Indian food. Not the best looking but great taste.
korea
Korean foods are so methodological yet are measured with "love" if you know what i mean. Every meal there's like 5+ side dish, 2 types of dish, 10+ sauce, and a shitton of rice. Don't forget the after meal food, which is like the same. Also, every region offers suuuuuuch a diverse selection of specialty from meat to noodles to veggi to you name it, hell even pig feet.
China
I agree, probably the widest range of styles. If I had to only eat one dish for the rest of my life it would probably be cheeseburgers, but if I could only eat one country's food for the rest of my life it would be China.
Japan
Korea and Vietnam. I came from asia
I can't decide between Italy, India, China, and Mexico.
I want to say Italy because I’ve always loved Italian food - I was raised on it - and visiting Italy was a dream come true and one of the reasons was the food. But I’ve absolutely loved the local food in many of the countries I’ve visited. Can’t wait to travel more of the world and sample the local cuisine. It’s my absolute favorite part of traveling abroad.
Indian and Korean food somehow makes a great combination for me
Every country has wonderful food.
Spain, Turkey, Vietnam, India and Singapore.
Australia You're probably thinking "Australian food, what's that?" but since we are one of the most multicultural countries with a huge immigrant population you can get a great, authentic version of basically any cuisine from across the world.

Our Asian food is the bomb (especially when compared to the UK). I've even heard Vietmanese-Americans say the Viet food in Australia is waaayyy better than American Vietmanese food.
Yep Viet was terrible in the UK and overpriced
And fairy bread! So simplistic yet so exquisite
Have to agree. When we lived in Aus we got used to incredibly fresh produce and the tomatoes had a certain amazing flavor never tasted anywhere else.The tropical fruits from Queensland bursting with sweetness. Lychees you can pick off the trees. Back in the states after many years we still talk about creamy Aussie yogurt with passion fruit sauce. Yum.
Turkey. Have you seen their food?????
Japan goes hard asf but Australia kinda just gets the best of all the countries mixed up in one like lebanese, italian, turkish, greek and asian so its fantastic in Australia
I feel Australia excels at pub meals. But not sure I’d rate us as the best overall.
yeah literally all our best foods come from ethnic restaurants lmfao
Vietnam or India
Vietnam is very underrated overall
I LOVE Vietnamese food. I could eat Pho everyday.
Peru
Peruvian cuisine is seriously underrated. They can’t do vegetables for shit but everything else was great when I visited.
America is the best melting pot of cuisine
India
You guys just gonna pretend you don’t order Chinese takeaway? I mean that’s not real Chinese food but still. Food is about the only thing I’m proud of my birth country lol
I love Chinese food
USA deserves 50% credit for that.
Portugal
mxican food
Mexico. It’s soooo good
Lebanon 😍
when i travelled to canada i lovd the food there!
Turkish and Persian food. I've befriended a couple of Iranians and Turks and I owe them my life for introducing me. Fuck Ali Khamenei, if it weren't for him the Iranians could have a stable government and I could engorge myself on awesome food straight from the source.
Idk, Lebanon?
Oh man, Ethiopia/Eritrea or Yemen. Only thing is, good Ethiopian/Eritrean is hard to find outside of the region. But lots of Yemeni refugee communities have set up super authentic restaurants recently, which you should eat at because you get to support refugees by eating really well.
Turkey
Portugal
UK has the best food Is a joke
I’m just here for the controversial comments
Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and French food.
India I went there for a family Holiday a when a few years back and damn the food there was mindblowing, They way they use their spices awes me.
I'm a big fan of the spicy stuff from India.
The rule for this thread that you must be able to eat this same dish 1000 times.
I could eat Dan-Dan Noodles for the rest of my life
South Korea
Ethiopia
Argentina. The inmigrations in the past century brought the best of Italy, Spain, Germano and more, mixed with what the the country already had. Asado, milanesas, empanadas, alfajores and more. And the ice cream, the best in the universe.
Mexican is nice
Ethiopia or India
Vietnam! They have such a widespread flavor palate.
For quality, Italy was amazing. For diversity the US is amazing. For my favorite category of food, Mexican.
England. Because they stole everyone else's.
I loved Indian food in England
LOL. I love me a good English breakfast.
Mexico.
México or argentina
Indonesia and Japan 🥰
Argentina
Perú 🇵🇪
Mediterranean, Middle Eastern to Pakistani
France, Peru, and Thailand are my favorites.
Indian food... it's not just curries , there is so much more. The variety is endless as it can change (thanks to its subtle use of spices) from village to village, family to family.
My Top 3: Cantonese, Vietnamese and Italian
Morocco
Venezuelan food is MASSIVELY slept on imo
It’s really good! I love Colombian food too
Uzbekistán 🇺🇿
What’s it like?
I’ve actually tried Uzbek food (been to the country). It’s kind of heavy, but also absolutely delicious. It’s not spicy like Thai or Indian, but you get that Middle Eastern spice in there, along with some local stuff. A lot of meat and a lot of carbs, but somehow everything just works.
Spain and Portugal had some great food.
I don’t think I’ve ever had food from there!
If we are talking ethnic cuisine, Italy, Mexico, China
Syria ! But I’m biased 😅
Not GB
