Two major problems with food in the U.S.:

1. We allow ourselves to be give terrible quality ingredients. Maybe the worst in the world.

2. It's very hard to get spicy food.

The cuisines with the most recipes are Chinese and Arabic cuisine, and The Chinese are first only because they eat pork.

IMHO

Italian is better than Greek.
Chinese is better than Japanese.

[Uncle Miltie]

Mexican in America is not high quality food.

I’m the cook in our house. Didn’t know I could be a decent cook until after I retired, but I had a French mother who could make even liver taste good and I remembered more than I thought. If you want good food, grow your own veggies, shop for local meats, and make our own food. Nothing like it. Makes me all warm and fuzzy when someone takes a bite of something I made and just close their eyes in pleasure and dig in. The Greeks have got nothing on me, and I don’t agree with this list at all. America is the only country where you can eat any kind of cuisine you want. Everything is available here.

Calling some of those “a cuisine” isn’t really accurate. They are a few or even several cuisines encompassed by a country.

TBH, IMO food is like movies.....what I like you may not.....what you like I may not.

And food critics are like political pollsters......wrong as much as right.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

The problems is that people do not understand the difference between spicy and hot.

They are not the same.

What do Ethiopians and Yoko Ono have in common?

They both live off dead Beatles.

I love good food and will try anything once!

[fuzzylogic]

Unless we understand all the criteria...hard to say. Greek & Italian are healthy, lots of olive oil, veggies...but when you’re there it’s hard to get away from.

We may not have as authentic food here but none of these countries have much diversity, nothing like what we have here. While some of our food isn’t as healthy, I think that is partly the choice of the consumer.

[Justa]

Because everyone has the same tastes and budget. We are all equally inferior and subservient to journalists and the intellectuals they serve.

[Maine Mariner]

Give me a hot dog with mustard, ketchup, and relish sold by an NYC guy or gal with a pushcart and I will be very happy!

[Mr. Jeeves]

Whaddaya mean the US doesn't come close? :)

[RckyRaCoCo]

Maybe covid(or vax) killed my taste-buds....or I'm just getting old.

...but NOTHING has flavor anymore...like eating shredded cardboard(at twice the price).

Food? With Dentures its simple!... If it doesn't have the consistency of a car tire its just fine by me!!

[Tax-chick]

If I had to live with only Greek, Italian, and Mexican food, I’d be fine. My husband and I went hiking this morning and then had lunch at a Lebanese place, which is reasonably close to Greek.

[JBW1949]

IMO, the only ones even close to American food is Italian and French...

“Spicy” food is for people to choke down poor quality and spoiled ingredients. If your food isnt trash then there is no reason to cover it up.

[Billthedrill]

"Chinese" cuisine? There are eight distinct cuisines in that country alone: (from Goggle) Anhui, Cantonese, Fujian, Hunan, Jiangsu, Shandong, Szechuan and Zhejiang. This article details 20 different regional cuisines in Italy. Even in the U.S. regional cuisines differ widely and often combine. I enjoy a New England clam chowder before tying into a fresh-caught Alaskan salmon. Furthermore, British cuisine is not entirely without merit - that's where we got Cheez Whiz, after all. OK, scratch that one...

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Yawn. I like American food. I don't care what little brown gnomes are chowing on.
