    Also, D even gets the entire bay of Naples, in addition to the cuisines of 3-4 billion people. Anyone who wants anything from A can get anything from there in Oceania.

    D is so OP, I cannot imagine anyone picking anything else unless they are basing their choice on where they live.

      But then that’s food you can eat in Oceania, not food from Oceania. D has a ton of good Asian food, but for traditional Western cuisine you want A or H.

            You cant only consider indigenous cuisine though. In that case it completely changes Mexican cuisine etc. Infact it changes literally every single cuisine in the world with the idea of ‘real’

              But that takes out all the chalange because all the regions have major cities and therefore all sorts of restaurants. I mean you can get good Chinese food in Buenos Aires I know and most other regional cuisines. I mean then New York City is op and everyone else is second place.

                So do we not count potato dishes for India since they were introduced by the Brits or how about tomatoes for Italy?

                If we allow ingredients but recipes are the issue, than is Japanese curry not counted for Japan considering it went from India to Britain to Japan?

                How about removing biryani from India/ Pakistan since the mughals created it with Persian techniques.

                What about fusion cuisines? All the pizzas in the world for example?

                Keeping it indigenous is literally impossible bc that idea doesn’t even exist.

                  Yeah it too hard a problem. Like what about fusion places? I guess if we’re talking about only being able to eat in one region I guess we have to admit NYC is OP with so many different immigrants from around the world you’ll be able to find anything there. I can’t tell if NYC is in H or G but that’s one to pick.

        This gate keeping of cuisine is ridiculous. It would logically follow that you have to throw out anything that’s made with something originally from a different zone. So no potatoes, tomatoes, corn or other new world crops… Well, anywhere but one of these sections. Anything that comes from cultural exchange is, apparently, right out. So good luck with whatever the fuck they were eating in mesopotamia and the Indus river valley civilisation. I hope you like your beer to be bread.

        If it’s been made by people who identify culturally as being “of that zone”, and they self-identify it as part of their culture, then that’s from there. Pretending that the awful colonisation of the entire world by white Europeans just… didn’t happen is insanely naïve.

          then that’s from there

          I mean, that’s not what the word “from” means, otherwise curry would be American food and that aside from not making sense would make the OP a lot less interesting to consider.
