D has a ton of Asian goodness

Lots of peeps on the D train, so I’m going G. You’ve got the spiciness of Mexican and Caribbean paired with the savoryness of Guatemalan and Colombian. Jam packed with fish and chicken dishes. Ceviche, jerk chicken, jambalaya, fried plantains, cornbreads, tacos, and giant burritos. Southern Spain means you get paella chock full of shellfish and also Spanish olives. And in the far west you get a bit of Hawaiian flare, so a little bit of Japanese sneaks in.

Regardless D and G are S tier. E and A are A tier. Everything else is, well, a carb with sauerkraut and sausage.

Easy D for me. It has Indian, Bangladeshi, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese. I don't think I need anything else in life lol. Come to think of it, the only food I've had in the last month or so that isn't from D is pizza, but I can live without pizza.

(I'm Indian so there's obvious bias. But even if Indian and Bangladeshi food were removed, I'll still choose D. I'll be a little tempted by G because of Barbecue, but Korean barbecue is pretty great as well.)

D without a doubt. Southern tip of Italy, Greek, Turkish, Persian, Pakistan, Indian, Chinese, Thai, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Australian, just to name a few.

D, hands down. Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, Iranian, Turkish, Japanese, Chinese. Literally my favorite foods

Edit: Also includes a little bit of Italy!!

D or G

D gets you most of Middle Eastern, all of India, most of China, all of South Asia, most of Australia, most of Japan. Huge variety, extremely high number of options, lots of spice availability, lots of meat and nonmeat protein options.

G mostly because of Mexico alone. I've traveled there a bunch recently and the food game is insane. You also get the US South (which does have a lot of great food outside of deep fried everything), Spain, Portugal, and Morocco.

C gets an honorable mention mostly because of southeast Europe. That whole area has been a crossroads for a very long time.

B You get italian food but still can have Surströmming

D is honestly extremely OP

G.

Love Mexican and south American food, Creole, Southern, Cuban…plus the US has stolen foods from around the world, so I guess I get to keep pretty much eating whatever.

D has all the good stuff. Middle Eastern, Asian food, even a part of Greek food. I don't really see any competition to that.

D, Italian, Japanese, Vietnamese, Chinese and Indian are already 90% of my diet

D without a doubt. Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, parts of China. It's even got some Mediterranean in there. That's basically all I eat already.

The only options are D and G

D has virtually all god-tier food Asia has ever produced, plus a bonus of whatever culinary bullshit Australia vomits onto the world stage.

D because of the huge variety in food, and the tiny chunk of Italy means I still technically get Italian food :)

B is being slept on in this thread. I mean, look at it - you get northern Italy, Germany, Austria, Hungary, the northern Balkans, Sweden, and Finland. If you like pasta, pizza, grilled meats, fries, potatoes, sausages, licorice, a mindbogglingly large number of breads and cheeses, etc. etc. you'd be stupid not to pick that region.

I mean D is a powerhouse lol

Has to be D. Last time I said Japanese and Mexican, but I forgot Iranian.

This map is doing flavor gerrymandering with D.

I'm torn between D and G. I love Thai, Chinese, Japanese, and Mexican/Central American cuisines, not to mention American barbecue.

D is probably the best region.

D. Curry, Szechwan, vietnamese, thai, asian street food!, Teriyaki and Sushi all day.

lol can't go wrong with A. Snails, frog legs, shark, whale blubber, seal, dolphin, herring, fries and cheese. Truly haute cuisine.

D gets Turkish, Arab, Indian, Chinese, Korean... why didn't you cut this in a way that gives the rest of the world any chance?

D is the obvious correct choice because the western food in Asia is superior to the Asian food in the west.

I live in D, but regardless it's so stupidly stacked it's nearly impossible to choose anything else.

D or G

H, because I'm in Canada, and the food would be cold before the guy from D got here.

It's gotta be G. Soul food, Mexican, fry bread, bbq, all the fruits from that region, yum.

I'm not big on Asian foods, I enjoy them well enough but the only thing I'd miss in D would be Indian.

D!!! Of Course??? Turkish, Greek, Indian, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Irani, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Filipino.... E, C and G get honorable mentions but it really is not fair at all.

Husmanskost is one of the best cuisines but damn there's no contest against D.
Gimme the D for the rest of my life please

G, no contest.

D or G because those both can grow coffee.

Tough call though.

D is lots of different Chinese regional dishes (Shanghai style, south China styles, Xi'an Muslim styles, and all the different dumplings); all the great Japanese food, Vietnamese food, Thai food, Indian food, Aussie and New Zealand wines, Aussie steaks, New Zealand lamb, Malay, Indonesian dishes, Cebu BBQ, plus Lebanese and Persian food. That is a lot of variety.

G gets you New Orleans dishes, California wine, Cali tacos, Tex Mex, southeastern USA BBQ, Low Country Boil, Mexican food, Caribbean food, central American, chocolate, and I am guessing Hawaiian dishes.

And now I'm hungry.

Me, who knows how globes work:

I'm perfectly fine either way.

F is one of the best choices, but most people from the northern hemisphere will miss out because they never had a chance to meet our culinary.

I must choose the very unpopular "B", for the sole reason that rest of the world is seemingly unable or unwilling to make proper sourdough rye bread. It is very, very delicious.

D. Japan literally has so many random recipes that I get overwhelmed when deciding what to try.
