CNN —

When it comes to choosing where to go for a vacation, what we’re going to eat and drink can be a big part of making travel plans.

We love to celebrate the good stuff and lambast the bad.

Of course, it’s subjective according to personal tastes, but this is CNN Travel’s take on some of the best food cultures and destinations around the world.

So, as you dream about where you’ll go next, which top 10 cuisines rule?

10 United States

9 Mexico

8 Thailand

7 Greece

6 India

5 Japan

4 Spain

3 France

2 China

1 Italy <

Well I'm partisan to western food but offer me chicken egg foo yung and an egg roll, I won't complain.

Have fun it's a holisay weekend

[dfwgator]

Polish - Smacznego!

[equaviator]

Bozek’s Market

Nonsense. French food is far superior to Chinese - I am talking mainland China authentic cuisine.

[blackdog]

Spain and Portugal. Not even a question.

[nwrep]

Notice there are no African countries on that list. Just saying. Not implying anything.

[JSM_Liberty]

No Britain on the list :)

[Gay State Conservative]

Scotland...haggis!

[Jim W N]

For overall ease in the U.S, I’d put Italian food first.

But overall regardless of ease or cost, good French food is the best IMO.

[Mr. N. Wolfe]

I would have expected Mexico to be higher on the list.

German food is good too. Schnitzel, sausages, beer...

[bobbo666]

Cultural appropriation?

CNN, geesh.

[null and void]

I would have rated Thailand higher.

If I ever go I’m getting a T-shirt that says (in Thai) “I’m only here for the food!”

[null and void]

Notice there are no African countries on that list. Just saying. Not implying anything.

Ethiopia was 11?

[MayflowerMadam]

Numbers 1-5 = Italian
After that, I like Mexican, Chinese, American, French, and Japanese. But I mean those cuisines in America since I have no idea how they are in those countries.

Thai - gag.

[Reno89519]

“Italy”. Let’s get real, the best “Italian” cooks are in the US, this is American food. Consider the pathetic so-called pizza served in Italy as example one.

[TexasGator]

"If you were allowed to eat only the food of one country the rest of your life, it would be smart to make it Mexican US food. "

[nwrep]

I would take French without a doubt.

[9YearLurker]

I’m all for the top 8 in whatever order.

Might add an additional Eastern cuisine. Vietnamese?

[Reno89519]

While I eat just about anything, so long as it is cooked, I don't see a need for such a long list.

1. American food (Bacon & Eggs, hamburgers, steaks, roasts, etc.)

2. American "Italian" food (pizza & pasta)

3. Mexican food (Taco Bell :) )

4. Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese (I'd put them all together as it is somewhat like regional variations of American cuisine.)

I have such an issue with H1B that I absolutely refuse to eat Indian food.

[Zathras]

It is astonishing how GOOD Italian is in Italy.
I had no idea until I visited Venice.
