Cuisines of the World

Folks, a definitive ranking of the planet's major cuisines is desperately needed. I have my own list but the problem is it keeps changing. Below are the major cuisines of the world in no particular order, by country. What should the order be? Which are the best cuisines? Why?

By the way, if you really feel another country needs to be added to the list, feel free to make your case, but very good reasons will be needed. I'm not adding the UK because you think 'fish and chips' is a delicacy.

France
Italy
Greece
Spain
India
Mexico
Thailand
Turkey
Lebanon
Peru
Cuba
Japan
Korea
Vietnam
China
Morocco
Ethiopia
America

 

As much as I thought I would love this exercise, you just can't rank countries cuisines. It's not like picking the best steakhouse in NYC, each country has it's own unique ingredients and it would be very hard to make an empirical assessment of best to worst. Also several countries on the list have unique provinces and states with their own unique cooking flair. e.g. would America be rated as Southwest tacos or Louisiana Cajun, would China be rated under Szechuan or Cantonese, Mexican would that be Yucan(tamale) or Pacific(aka fish taco)?

Maybe you could rank, what's the best dish in each country, then put them up against each other?

Disagree. That's like saying you can't 'rank' movies because they're in different genres, styles, etc. And yet they do it every year...it's called the Oscars

Just because something is really difficult to do doesn't mean it cannot or should not be done

 

Ehh, it's more akin to ranking athletes of different eras. Which really can't be done. Because every cuisine is influenced by others. For instance, tomato based curries are not native to India as tomatoes aren't indigenous to India and were brought over by the Portuguese. Also food and what is satisfying to me is so mood based or in the moment it's so hard to rank.

Just because something was done doesn't mean it means anything. Ranking art (movies, food) is pointless. All you've accomplished is a list of your preferences. Or a group consensus. Whatever.

Now saying, "What is the best sushi restaurant," for example, makes more sense. But still, what is the goal of eating food (outside of health and sustenance)? Pleasure. If the entire world says Lou Malnati's is the best pizza and I like Little Caesar's more, then I'm right in my world and you're right in yours.

Surprised Vietnamese didn't make the list. No love for pho or bahn mi, at the very least? It belongs somewhere between Thai and your "I couldn't decide how to separate these Asian cuisines" grouping of Japan/Korea/china.

American food at the bottom, huh? I guess if you think of American food as QSR, then fine. But I think of American food as capital-B Barbecue, which has developed some of the finest meat preparations around the globe. And the regional varieties! Go get a chopped pork sandwich in Atlanta, and brisket in Austin, and ribs in Kansas City, and pulled pork in Charlotte (with the western NC sauce, not the eastern NC vinegar-and-pepper-flakes "sauce"), and anything with a dry rub in Memphis, and then come tell me that American food is not world-class cuisine.

And to rank it beneath Ethiopian food is offensive. Ethiopian food tastes like soggy dirt, and I don't want it all over my hands. Never trust the cuisine of a country whose main export is starving.

To reiterate, my list is not in a particular order. It is not my ranking. That being said, as much as I love burgers, steak, barbeque ribs, wings, etc, when food critics think of 'American' food, they typically point to 'New American' which I'd describe as predominantly french fusion

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_American_cuisine

 

That makes perfect sense and isn't as much fun. I see that you're setting this up to be a level-headed, rational discussion. That's not why I come to the internet; I come to the internet to see people respond with "F*** YOU I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION BUT I LOVE GUY FIERI."

Jokes aside, what do you like to see in a cuisine? Is it complexity of flavors? Ingenuity? A wide variety of famous dishes, or a small group that are your favorites? I appreciate cuisines that combine taste and health-- I can eat clean Thai food every day (what's wrong with meat, rice, and vegetables?) but Italian food, while delicious, makes me feel like a snake that ate a deer.

"Son, life is hard. But it's harder if you're stupid." - my dad
 

Agreed - I get the stereotype, but good American food is so much more than steak, fries, bbq. Need to also consider that some of the world's best restaurants fall under the American/comtemporary American umbrella (think EMP, Blue Hill, etc.).

Vietnamese should definitely be on there on the basis of Pho alone.

My rankings: 1. Chinese (could eat this for literally every meal, that's just how I was raised. Enjoy Szechuan food the most but can't say no to a good dim sum, soup dumpling, Peking duck, etc.) 2. American (see points above about fine dining - some of the best meals of my life. Popeye's is also a godsend) 3. Korea (soft tofu, kbbq, etc.) 4. Italy (not a huge pizza fan tbh) 5. Thailand 6. Japan (Really wish I liked sushi more, but I only really like the crab and shrimp variations) 7. Vietnamese 8. Peru (Pio Pio is great but NYC doesn't seem to have great variety for Peruvian) 9. Greece (mainly for the octopus. Gyros are meh) 10. Mexico 11. France 12. India 13. Turkey (also felt that the elements of Turkish food I liked were generally present in Greek. Love a fresh Turkish delight, though) 14. Spain 15. Ethiopia (wasn't a huge fan of my one experience. Never tried again afterwards) 16. Lebanon (never had)

Though when you think about it, a lot of the best modern cuisines originated as fusions at some point. Mexican for example also has a lot of french elements (remember, cinco de mayo celebrates a victory against the French, not the Spanish, they had a lot of influence there), along with the Spanish and Indigenous roots of course. Then there's also Peru (Indigenous, Spanish, Japanese), Cuba (Afro-Caribbean, Chinese, Spanish), Cajun. Even before the Americas, a lot of ingredients and dishes in Europe can also trace their origins to trade through the Middle East and Asia, pasta from China to Italy probably being the most famous. America's might be developing still, but it's part of the same story.
 

1) Italian - Could eat gnocchi/Chicken Parm/Pasta/Pizza etc all the time 2) Korean - Chimaek (Korean Fried Chicken & Beer), Soju, bibimbap, samgyeopsal and Kbbq 3) Indian - Nothing more satisfying than chiken vindaloo/tikka, saag paneer and some garlic naan 4) Mediterranean/Middle Eastern - Couldn't imagine a world without halal guys (53rd and 6th in NYC), Kebabs/Doner

Probably my top 4. Top Two are solidified after visiting Florence/Seoul & Busan respectively

 

Peruvian cuisine is very underrated, my second favorite latin american cuisine. hard to find in many cities (Seattle has only one spot that i know of and it wasn't that good), when it's authentic it's absolutely delicious. asian influence, lots of seafood, lots of spice and flavors, amazing ceviche, + add on a pisco sour to wash it down with. Also comes to mind is Andean stews you'll find in Cusco (near Machu Picchu)

If interested look up the Chef Gastón Acurio

Fine fine, I'll give it to you. The list was a little light on the South American front, and to be fair, I do go to Pio Pio all the time in nyc. The food is pretty good in terms of flavors and taste though the menu is definitely on the smaller side

 

haha, i mean it doesn't compare to many of the countries on your list, just saying it's very underrated and deserves more attention.

btw here's my very subjective ranking of latin american cuisine, separated in tiers. I know I'm forgetting some things any many would disagree, so don't give me a bunch of monkey shit :-)

TIER 1 -Mexico (no brainer here... ask me in a few months how much i'm loving the cuisine there) -Brazil (amazing diversity, wonderful flavors, açai / fruit juice bars everywhere, incredible meat, churrascarias & rodizios ftw) -Peru (see my comment above) ...... big drop off.......... TIER 2 -Argentina/Uruguay (ranking depends on how much you like red meat and red wine, otherwise options are VERY limited, Patagonia has some salmon, trout, and wild boar which is tasty) -Venezuela (arepas all day, otherwise I can't really comment much here as I haven't been) -Colombia (Bandeja Paisa, great meat, similar dishes to central america, otherwise felt like there was a lack of variety) -Ecuador (can only comment on the seafood, best ceviche i've ever had) -Costa Rica (my Costa Rican aunt makes a wonderful gallo pinto (rice/beans/egg scramble with spices & salsa Lizano and also Olla de Carne) ................ TIER 3 -Chile (at least they have good seafood, pisco and wine, but never ate well here otherwise) -Nicaragua (very similar to CR (and the rest of central america from what i've heard, but very limited options, positives: great fresh fish and cheap rum)

................ NO OPINION: Can't comment on: Carribean countries/Boliva/Belize/Honduras/Guatemala/Honduras/El Salvador, though I do love Cuban sandwiches

I'm from So-Cal, so I would lean towards Mexican.... something amazing about Tacos / burritos that I just can't get over. I LOVE Indian and Thai; however, I do believe it is hard to find good Indian, and more common to find good thai.

I was in Istanbul for a few days and all I can really remember that was Turksih was doner? If that is even Turkish in nature. Haven't had Ethiopian, but there is a place in my city and you eat with your hands.

...
 

Disclaimer: I'm not Turkish and have never been to Turkey. However, I frequent a couple of excellent restaurants manned by Turkish immigrants, and it's some of my favorite ethnic food.

For Turkish food: If you're not a big fan of lamb, you may not dig it. There's lots of crossover with Greek cuisine.

Kebabs are king in Turkish food. Döner Kebab (thinly sliced/shaved lamb) with cabbage, onion, and marinated olives is excellent. Lamb or beef casseroles (generally made in earthenware pots and called Güveç) and shish kebabs (lamb, beef, chicken, or made with a variety of different fish) are also on point. Tradititional lavash bread is a must with every meal. Paçanga Böreği (sausage filled pastries), falafel, and hummus are great appetizers.

Turkish desserts are pretty awesome. Baklava, turkish delight, and turkish rice pudding (called Sütlaç) are all great.

 

I don't know if I could rank by Region. I can definitely go by dish though. (not in any particular order)

France - Magret de canard is really tough to beat; that and some Foie I'll be in heaven. Spain - If you haven't had jamon Iberico you owe it to yourself. It's amazing. Spain is slept on a little bit. Italy - Veal ossobuco. I'm not a pasta fan. Also had really damn good octopus in Italy China - Peking Duck holy crap I'll go back to Beijing just to have it again.

Had some killer Chilean seabass in Panama along with probably the best ceviche I've ever had.

Honestly, I could go on forever, but I'm going to get my ass chewed if I get caught food blogging on here.

 

I mean it's gotta be French, right? I get that it's a eurocentric list, but Paris alone has almost as many Michelin 3 star restaurants as all of the US. Even in the US, most of the 3-stars are French (TFL, Le Bernardin, Jean-Georges), and even chefs doing their own thing have classical French backgrounds (ie, Grant Achatz at TFL). It forms the base of most other European cuisines (not quite so much Italy, but certainly Spain).

From there you probably go to China, and although I don't know the food that well, it's a billion people and calling it "Chinese cuisine" does a disservice to the various regional differences.

Next would be Spain, perhaps my French bias is showing, but they do a better all-around job with seafood, and of course have their own regional specialties that in many cases are above the French.

I think Mexican deserves the next spot, but I'm kind of blending in the various other central American countries here.

Finally I'll let Italy in the door, because I think well done pizza is truly a gift to the world (even if the Yanks thought it up), but just can't get that excited about pasta as fine dining. Also the Spanish to better cured meats, and not just jamon iberico.

Approximate rest of list: Vietnam/Thailand Japan Scandinavian Greek India

 

I think I'm in the minority but I strongly disagree on French. Obviously personal preference but I find french far too rich, pretentious and over the top. I also think there is a significant Michelin bias towards French cuisine and French cooking techniques.

Otherwise, I'd strongly second your views on Spanish, Mexican (real Mexican, not just tacos and burritos) and Italian. I haven't had Scandinavian so I don't have views on that and I'd probably sub Korean for Japanese as I really enjoy the flavour profiles of Korean food.

Not to pick on your post in particular but it was last on the list and I generally agreed outside of the point on French food.

 

I will question if you have ever had really fresh hand made pasta. There are a few places that do amazing pasta. One is in the place I currently am (west coast) other was the North End in Boston. (Granted I did pay like $36 bucks for the plate, so there is a highpossibility that I was associating price with taste)

...
 

I agree with you on Syrian food.

Wanted to add that Mexican food is extremely underrated. We Americans think Mexican food is Guac and tacos... it's not. Think pork, Civiche, braised lamb, etc... they have so many cooked dishes and meals that never make it into American culture because they aren't headline dishes (I'm guessing this is the case for many countries, but for Mexico I think this really stands out).

Italian French Mexican American Middle Eastern Thai Vietnamese Chinese

I am hungry now so that is the list of what seems of what would be the most appetizing.

Only two sources I trust, Glenn Beck and singing woodland creatures.
 

Hijacking this thread kind of.... anyone have any awesome recommendations for dining in Vegas? I've eaten at a bunch of places, but if there are any new restaurants worth going to, let me know :) Open to anything.

...
 

It was a few years ago, but a guy knew in college who worked out there recommended a bunch of off the strip places. Most of them were in Hendersonville. All good/cool places and cheaper than the strip, but you have to drive 10 min.

Of course I dont remember any of the names

I may be a total Rube, but the 1 cuisine I could not live without is Mexican. My god do I love Mexican.

I agree with one of the posters above in that I personally find French overrated. I understand that many chefs are french-inspired, but straight up French doesnt do a lot for me. The single worst thing I've ever tried was in an upscale french restaurant one of the courses was a Lobster cappuccino. It was literally inedible. Even the items I liked were just good, not great.

I've been on a greek kick lately (but not gyros).

Andy mentioned not rating Belize. I will say I spent 7 days there and didnt have a bad meal. In the tourist areas it was american-ish, but good. In the mainland I just stopped random times on the side of the road and it was nothing fancy - stewed chicken, beans and rice, but the spice/flavor worked well for me. There probably are nicer places in Belize City, but I was out in the country when on the mainland.

I like Chinese, the problem is that in China most places have such shitty quality meat. I definitely go for a Peking duck meal every time I'm there, which is great. The other thing that deserves mentioning is Hot Pot, if you can handle the spice, hot pot is the shit. Other than Peking Duck and Hot Pot, I like the flavors, but not the quality of the other things I've tried while in China.

I'm taking a crack at this after my previous comment. I have given it some thought and I will look at cuisine not inspired by simply cooked fresh ingredients. e.g. a steak. I don't care how organic/grass fed, well marbled this steak would be very little has to be done to it(all you need is salt and pepper) and you have yourself a delicious meal. Now I love steak but a country's cuisine should be marked by more than a fresh piece of fish or meat. I added this part after I wrote the below: man it gets really hard to talk about 12 different cuisines and not reuse the words, spice, flavor, cooking.

France - By far the best cuisine. Not only do they have the most decadent of foods but their influence stretches across the globe. Everything they cook is extremely complicated and takes years to master the cuisine properly. American, Vietnamese, Carribean and Haitian all owe France for inspiration for many of their dishes and what would become their local cuisine.

America - The most versatile because we are a country of immigrants and that is reflected by what we cook. We have our own versions of Italian food some of which is far superior to many regions in Italy. We have Louisiana gulf cooking which is by far some of the best food on earth. There is a reason I go to New Orleans, and it's not Bourbon Street.

Indian - Everything that is Indian is so flavorful, they would never have something as ordinary as a hamburger on any of their menus. From their naan to vindalo or tikka and daal everything they make has such a strong flavor and it is because of the number of spices they cook with.

Chinese - Pretty much everything that can be said for Indian food can be said for Chinese food. Not only do their dishes vary by regions but it is absolutely flavor packed in everything you order. My personal favorite is sichuan, with all the garlic, and peppers it has an unmistakable bold flavor profile.

Mexican - One of my personal favorites. Each distinct region has its own powerhouse flavor profile. If you have ever been to Cabo and gone to Guacamayas then you have eaten the best tacos on earth. I also love yucutan province's cuisine as well, more tamales and earthy ingredients that still do not lack a rich complexity of spice.

Italy - Pasta, nuff said. But I'm knocking it down some because the tomato didn't originate in italy and it's in virtually in every dish.(edit) Almost every dish is a variation of red sauce and cheese and a noddle shape.

Spain - Tapas and home of the manzinilla olive. Not to mention Jambon Iberico or the hamoncilla.

Turkey - Very similar to Greek food but more meat and the more spices. Could eat all day. Greece - Again relies on a lot of fresh ingredients if you are by the coast. Feta is goat piss, but the lamb w0w

Korea - Getting lazy and grouping the below 3 together with Korean at the top. Vietnam Thailand

Japan - Of the three predominant areas of cooking, sushi, teriyaki and yakatori all three are made what they are by quality ingredients. While I fully appreciate the art that goes into sushi it is still a cuisine that is based on super fresh ingredients, although that was not always the case if you look at its origin.

Cuba - Actual Cuban food is atrocious, but here in the states Cuban inspired food is really good.

Peru - Any country that eats Guinea Pig as a staple can't be ranked very high. I don't care how good Pio Pio's green sauce is.

Ethiopia - Never had Lebanon - Never had

Also- All central american food is pretty much the same. So is South American food with some subtle differences. Not to discount it cause Venezuela has amazing arepas and Colombia has amazing empanadas and Ajiaco(maybe the one of the best soups in the world)

 

here is a recommendation for Lebanese food in NYC: "ilili" and/or Almayass. I take my gf to ilili, but take clients to dinners to Almayass... you will be blown away.

Ilili is Lebanese contemporary with American influences. Almayass is Lebanese Armenian, it is a higher scale resto compared to ilili.

Too bad no one has mentioned Russian food, though it's understandable because it's hard to find. Historically, Russian food has been pretty simple (though still damn delicious) and only recently, since the turn of the century, has it become more inventive with its flavors.

As far as other cuisines go, I see Italian and French food as the pinnacle of world cuisine when they are at their best. The French and Italians have done more to advance culinary arts than anyone else except for maybe the Japanese. The problem is that there are a TON of crappy of Italian and French restaurants, both in the states and in those respective countries. Paris and Rome are filled with tourist trap spots that serve microwave-heated pasta, previously frozen pizza, and "fast-casual" French food (which is an oxymoron, as you need some time to prepare great French dishes.)

It's because of this that I say Indian and Southeastern Asian cuisines are the best in the world overall. They're consistently excellent and use incredible flavors. The best Indian, Thai, and Vietnamese food isn't as good as the best Italian and French food, but you're more likely to enjoy food you buy from a street vendor in Delhi or Bangkok than the food you'd get by going to a random French or Italian cafe.

LOVE North Mexican food/TexMex. Could eat it literally everyday.
Like South Mexican, especially queso fundido. I'm not a big corn tortilla guy but I find Southern Mexican a lot more clean than Northern so I can get over it. Really like Indian food, chicken tikka masala, lamb korma are my go-tos. Oddly enough, had a really great meal at a little place in a strip mall in SLC. It was shocking how good it was. One that no one has mentioned is Yemeni food. It's got of spice to it and shares a lot of similarities with Latin American cuisine. There isn't much here in the States that I know of but I had a lot of it when I was in the Middle East and it's pretty fantastic.

 

Probably the Japanese, French and Italian cuisines, which is reflected in the Michelin rankings. Kitchens such as Mexico, India, Ethiopia, Turkey, China etc, can't begin to compete with them culinary. The Mexican kitchen is overrated, just an excess of fat to increase flavors.

 

Well, besides this being a highly personal opinion, I feel like most of those countries are too poor to have developed their own unique cuisine. The type of high-end cooking required to compete is an extreme luxury and really only affordable in the west and a few other industrialized nations.

If you're only looking for a typical bang for buck-type of food that's an entirely different story.

 

Don't have much to add as people here have done great with covering the different regions but anyone bringing up Michelin rankings to justify the quality of a particular region over another is ridiculous. Native cuisine is not determined by some prestigious award. The most authentic food you'll have are usually mom-and-pop hole in the wall spots that will never get a Michelin star and are superior to many of those over-priced restaurants. Not to mention Michelin clearly is biased towards French food and clearly is biased towards developed nations (that have the consumer demand to open a restaurant that runs at $200+ a meal). I also put a premium on regions that can give you an outstanding experience for $5 or $50, French cuisine is almost always at the higher end. Just my two cents.

Personally, BBQ is my favorite (other than my native food) followed by Thai/ Chinese followed by Mexican/ Tex-Mex. This is probably more a reflection of where I live though.

I'll agree with you here. The Michelin ranking seems to emphasize factors that I just don't care much about, like presentation for instance. Most of my favorite restaurants in NYC aren't ranked by Michelin...tend not to rely too much on tire companies for food recs

 

I'm Italian, we are kinda of nazis when it comes to cusine... I get that "de gustibus non disputandum est", but I see a lot of incompetence when it comes to talk about food among americans, no offence... just my experience through what I can see on r/food.

nuff said.

1- japanese, i love raw seafood, i love sashimi, chiarashi and various tartare, though sushi is just fine to me 2- italian, obviously, our grandmother are too fucking skilled to compete 3? no fucking clue... i don't want to pretend that i know a lot of cusines outside my domain of expertise... I can tell you that italian cuisine in italy and japanese cusine in italy or japan are executed differently than in the US.

Probably france is decent, just considering the number of michelin starred restaurant, and chef's table, though, I repeat myself, I haven't tried anything too heavy on this (well, apart from fusion/ nuovelle cuisine in fancy michelin restaurant, though I wouldn't call them "french" ), AND I'm not a big fan of desserts, which I get French cuisine is heavy on it, and/or cheeses

For example, if you served Starbucks or domino's in italy they'd fucking spit it right in front of your face... or: "'Let Italians cook pasta, please': French version of carbonara using boiled bacon, creme fraiche and a RAW egg leaves the internet appalled" it's kinda like me coming to you and telling how to make a bbq or an hamburger... I'm not going to do that... while I can see people pretending that they know how to do our stuff better than us...
