I wonder what the map would look like if we ignored pizza and pasta.
Like a map I wouldn't want to live in
What is the flag within Luxembourg? I can' make it out.
Edit: I'm guessing Portugal.
Yes, Portugal.
Waiting for Cypriots and Greeks to realize that Cyprus is set to see Greek food as foreign!
I'm surprised about Hungary. There's a Doner vendor on every corner. But due to the uneasiness of having Turkish cuisine or flags around, what with 150 years of occupation and the biggest Hungarian epic having the theme of it to this day, they are usually faking themselves to be Greek selling Gyros instead.
I wonder if in germany the creators considered Döner as Turkish, if yes then this is questionable because Döner is more German than Turkish. If than it's surprising that Italian food looses against Turkish
what are you on about, döner means "it spins" in turkish and is a traditional turkish food. Turkish immigrants popularized it in germany just like kebab.
There's an urban legend here in Germany, that the sandwich variant was invented in Berlin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kadir_Nurman
But yeah, from reading up on this just now, that seems to be mostly non-sense.
Maybe I should fact check mouth propaganda more
I heard that the Türkenbelagerung brought Turkish food to Austria.
No idea whether that's true though
Doner is popular in Britain, and it’s not being served by Germans there.
It is in quite a lot of places.
This made me curious about Suriname. What would be considered specifically Surinamese (?) food? What are things that make it distinctive from other cuisine?
Maybe it's Pom: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pom_(dish) ? this is the first I heard of it though.
No, it's roti https://www.leukerecepten.nl/recepten/surinaamse-roti-met-kip/
For those wondering why Surinamese food would be popular in the Netherlands, it was a Dutch colony from 1667 until 1954, because of course, it fucking was.
mama mia
Lol tomato and garlic, not native to Italy.
If imported ingredients arent valid that quite quickly invalidates almost all traditional foods
Yes it isn't really foreign cuisine if the ingredients aren't even from the place attributed to the dish lol
Yeah Bahn Mi isn't really Vietnamese since it uses French baguette, Tacos aren't Mexican since they use European meats and cheeses not available to Native Americans, Thai chilie is from North America, etc. Fuck outta here.
I don’t think Indian should count as foreign cuisine in UK when it used to be theirs
Same goes for McDonalds in UK
Hamburgers are German though
Fries are Belgian
The latter statement is pretty disputed to be honest. Between France and Belgium having an ongoing dispute, and the first reference to the dish being Spanish, it's a bit up in the air: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_fries
