Great Britain has pretty lousy food. Mexico has lousy food. Italian food is among the best. Cajun food (ala Louisiana) is superb.
“Italian food is among the best.”
Spanish/Iberian food puts Italian food to shame; their sausage (chorizo) is better, their garlic shrimp much better than scampi, and they use saffron rice instead of pasta so you don’t have to nap afterwards...
