D has a ton of Asian goodness

[–] wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 99 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'd miss mexican food, but some arsehole bundled it with the USA.

[–] wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Worse, they bundled it with the worse half of the USA (except for soul food).

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 10 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Anyone who wants anything from A can get anything from there in Oceania.

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.

Yeah but the real cuisine from Australia is grubs, roo meat and berries.

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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'

[–] showmeyourkizinti@startrek.website 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] BreakerSwitch@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

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

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] showmeyourkizinti@startrek.website 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 1 points 3 days ago

Yeah that's (part of) Oceania.

[–] wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works -1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 4 points 3 days ago

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.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 52 points 3 days ago (3 children)

D is literally the only answer.

Greek, Turkish, Arab, Indian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Korean, Japanese. If you want something more western, there's Australian for some classic bbq or fish n chips. There's also a tiny sliver of Italy.

[–] tyler@programming.dev 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That’s only if you like those things. G gets you barbecue, Mexican, Peruvian, Cuban, every Caribbean island, Hawaii, French Polynesia, and several others it’s hard to tell from the map.

Of the things you listed from D I only like Greek, Italian, Chinese, and Japanese. And I can get all of those from Hawaii and California.

[–] nialv7@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah I'd choose D but will be really really sad to not be able to eat anything from G ever again.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

But you HAVE BBQ, in the form of Hawaiian BBQ, which goes pretty hard too. And there’s BBQ-analogues all over Southeast Asia. And don’t forget, like, all of the Middle East. Check out some of the feast preparations of whole animals, as well as modern “convenience” spins on older recipes more suitable for family-size prep.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I won't deny, I'd miss Mexican food. Sure, a kebab is basically a burrito, but the differences are enough that it'd be a shame to never have either one.

But I do find the barbecue thing weird. Australian barbecue is close enough to American to be a more than acceptable substitute (although perhaps I'm biased). Korean galbi is amazing, though quite different.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I think Mexican food would be the only major loss here, tbh

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Of course the CIA would say that.

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Look I spent a lot of time in South America… wait I want supposed to say that

[–] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 3 days ago (2 children)

And don't forget Kiwi... I want to say... fruit?

[–] 50MYT@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago
[–] quoll@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 3 days ago

kiwi land has amazing dairy and wine

[–] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 27 points 3 days ago

Mediterranean, middle eastern, indian, Chinese, se asian. I can live with that.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

+1 for D

It's literally where the world gets most of their spices ... the English fought wars for those places and those spices

[–] plyth@feddit.org 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

the English fought wars for those places and those spices

To sell them to the world. Never get high on your own supply.

[–] quoll@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

plus aotearoa for cheese and wine.

[–] EvenOdds@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 days ago

Aussie wine and cheese is arguably even better, yet another reason to go with D.

[–] galoisghost@aussie.zone 1 points 3 days ago

D also has all the shit I cook. Hello microwaved Vegemite and cheese sandwiches.
