    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.

        Yeah but the alternative is “you can’t eat modern food from absolutely anywhere” because, for example, tomatoes have only been in italy since they were imported from the Americas

        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.
