More like C tier at best. Your ancestors who emigrated from Italy to America fixed the shortcomings of your cusine when they got access to a wider market of Ingredients. Now Italians go online and throw hissy fits that the dishes they made were improved upon and the world over likes the improved American version of Pizza and Spagetti and so on. Face it you were only culturally relevant 2000 years ago and it boils my blood that everyone makes fun of of the french for surrendering when you greasy dago fucks were back to back World War Traitors. Fuck Italy.

This right here is enough to put British food in B tier at the lowest. England and America are the only two countries on Earth with a decent breakfast. In all the countries renowned for "fine cuisine" the breakfast is just a cup of coffee and a cigarette, with maybe one pastry.

Lest we forget how the greater degree of Europe was flooding into America to live here. These recipes came from First Generation immigrants then typically improved upon by the second generation. Eurotrash always likes to believe Americans who they claim never left their state just somehow conjured up their long held recipes in their head without ever having firsthand experience.

The US has as many Michelin 3 star restaurants as Italy. It's been at the cutting edge of fine dining for decades now. I find this view Europeans have that the US is devoid of restaurants pretty often and I think it reveals a lot about Europeans themselves. It's a very outdated view dating back to the 80s or 90s at least when the only place you could get decent food was Manhattan and the average bar only served Budweiser and Coors Light. When you talk to enough Europeans about these things you quickly realize most of them have never even left Europe, whereas Americans who opine about these things have been to multiple European countries, Latin America, probably even East Asia or at the very least the Pacific. It's kind of ironic, because they hold this view of America as still being very parochial with food and drink when in reality this is an outdated view that they only hold because they themselves have never left their 100 mile bubble.

>>21958490
To be fair, Ireland historically did the best they could with their cold and craig-y island as far as produce went and now that they've got a booming tech economy and access to better produce, their cuisine has only improved but the average Irishman still eats the same way his gran did.
If you ever travel to Ireland, do not do not do not do not do not eat anything but general cuisine. I mean that you shouldn't bother with Irish versions of foreign food. You'll be in for a very bad time. I tried Cajun stuff at a place in Dublin. It was utterly bland. Just horrifyingly tasteless.
Where Ireland (and Britain, let's be fair) shines is in non-cultural cookery and reimaginings of their own native cuisine. Things like steak and potato, where no single country can lay claim to it, are perfectly delicious. Things like curry and pasta are not.
>>21958481
Bullshit. It was uncommon OUAT but these days, you can get barbecue in southern Italy, texmex in Belgium and, as mentioned, shit Cajun in Ireland.

a few months ago. I've had indian food that actual indians from india considered good and found it exceedingly mid. the flavor profile is horrendous, the meat is always cooked to shit, many of the dishes are nearly indistinguishable. I'll give them that their deserts are both good and novel. but that's not going to carry them to the second best tier. putting indian food about american, german, and korean and on the same level as italian and spanish is bonkers
>>

NTA, it's also not the failure you think it is. They aren't active in most parts of the US, and they're usually only active in major cities and will not consider places outside it. You have to contribute money for them to be willing to look through your region for potential Michelin starred restaurants. Whether a city is even eligible for Michelin stars at all is usually down to whether or not their tourism department is willing to pay them to get its restaurants evaluated. And if it's not the tourism department, someone else needs to pay for them to consider your restaurant at all. Sure, the restaurants with Michelin stars are incredible quality. But there are equally good restaurants that will never be on the list. Determining what countries have good food using it like >>21958478 did is a terrible idea.
>>
>>21958546
He literally says Irish and British food is good but that they can't cook foreign food. That's a fair take. His fault for getting Cajun in Ireland.
>>
>>21958495
China is huge, it's almost as big as the whole continental Europe. It has a couple dozens of main regional cuisines and a lot of variety.
Kinda like the USA, not including it in a top 10 would be wrong for that reason alone.
>>
>>21958549
NTA, I think it would be more accurate to say that places that don't have a significant amount of immigrants from an area can't cook that cuisine. Brits have good Indian, for example, and terrible Mexican. Going to Ireland to get Cajun is an impressively stupid idea, you won't even get good Cajun in most of the US.
>>
>>21958549
What's the metric of them not being able to cook foreign food? Where's the fair take? How many different foreign cuisines has he tried over in those countries? In how many towns and cities?
>>
>>21958556
This. The only reason to say China doesn't belong is if you want to demand people be more specific about regional cuisine. But no one here knows enough about Chinese cuisine to have a preference on more than a few types. The variety they have is completely unrivaled by any other country.

Incredibly stupid thing to say, the way I used it is exactly how you should. It's not the end-all be-all but it's directionally correct and is perfectly fine to include in a holistic analysis of a country's abilities.
>>
>>21958593
I don't know how to be more clear about this: Michelin will not even consider a city's restaurants to evaluate no matter how renowned they are without that city (or someone else) paying for their presence. This means cities that don't have tourism enough to have a tourism department are almost definitely not paying for it, and many cities that do also refuse too. It is an incredibly inaccurate and biased sample that does not reflect the true breadth of fine dining in any country. And that's before you get into the other problems with their selection process.

What major city is not going to have a tourism department? I've been to third world cities that have a Michelin map.
>>
>>21958713
Forget cities, right now all US states aren't participating. And having that tourism department does not mean they're willing to put the money towards Michelin rankings.
>>
>>21958722
Why would I forget cities, that's where the vast majority of Michelin star restaurants are going to be. I would be more surprised if Michelin was interested in the cornfields of Nebraska than if they weren't. If a particular city doesn't think it has anything to gain from trying to compete on the world stage with its restaurants that's fine, they would know better than anyone else. I've been to shithole cities in Latin America that are mapped by Michelin, if an American city doesn't think it's worth it because they wouldn't be competitive, they're probably right.
>>
>>21958741
Michelin doesn't go by interest. If cities in Nebraska chose to pay to be evaluated they would be so. If cities in France choose not to, they would not be. Using Michelin as an indicator of which places are deserving of a star, instead of only using it to find places that already have one is ass backwards.

Now you're just blathering out of your ass. The first nonsensical diarrhea you spewed out your greasy fat lips earlier was that nobody should use Michelin stars as an indication of whether a country has good cuisine. A country is not going to obtain a double digit number of 3 star Michelin restaurants without having a robust culinary scene. The quality level to obtain 3 stars remains the same, and even countries like Italy that are entirely mapped out struggle to stay in that category. Your argument here that "well Michelin didn't look at Omaha, Nebraska so the fact that they did look at Manhattan and Paris and Rome is meaningless" is stupid, silly, and ass backwards.

Just for fun go take a look at the Michelin starred restaurants in any given country. It's going to be mostly French, Japanese, modern cuisine, or maybe farm to table movement. If you want to enjoy fine dining that's a specific regional cuisine, you actually have to go pretty far out of your way to do so and scroll through many different Michelin starred restaurants. They've gotten plenty of criticism for the obvious favoritism of cuisines.

Again, make sure you're looking at restaurants with stars and not bib gourmand. The latter are just regular good restaurants that have no stars that they recommend.

Bro can you even call that a dish? its just like 7 raw things put on a grill plus canned beans. Think Sausage and blood pudding is the only thing that has to be prepared in it.

Is burger and fries a dish? Explain the differences between the compilation of both.

Japanese food is raw fish on rice . . . .wow must deserve a B rating, it's so clever.

At least you have to put something on something in these examples.

idk man, just putting a bunch of breakfast items next to each other doesnt seem culturally specific to me.

A specific prepared thing like Haggis or a Beef Wellington I agree is.

The place you come from determines what those breakfast items are. And the fact that so many countries even have similar breakfasts for you not to realize that is because they're former British colonies. Like how people don't realize America has culture because it gets exported globally.

You don't need to travel to experience food from different countries.
In America, any city with 1M+ people will have plenty of international options.

But it is AUTHENTIC tho?
Here in Germany, almost every dish is adjusted for German taste buds.
>>
>>21960414
Yup.
One of the metrics for the good restaurants to go to is where the immigrants go to eat.

I don’t think I’ve ever had good Chinese food yet. I’ve only had the Americanized takeout stuff. I’m not even sure where to get real Chinese food. I suppose I can try cooking up mapo tofu to see what that tastes like.

Monkey soup

What even is American food? Hamburgers and steak? I like hamburgers, but steaks are overrated.
>>
>>21960512
Which cuisines do you like?
>>
>>21960509
hamburgers, american style barbecue, southern/"soul" food, louisiana cajun food... pretty much everything else is just variations of other cultures foods.

Do you have a Chinatown nearby? Ideally pick restaurants that have a regional focus there. If that's not an option, the channel Chinese Cooking Demystified is a great resource. They mostly post traditional Chinese recipes and go into common substitutions, food history, and the like. They also have a video that covers all the different types of Chinese cuisine.

If nothing else, it's a great channel to use as a jumping off point for your own research.

Dubs and whenever I find an ethnic restaurant, especially if it's Asian, I look for the weirdest thing on the menu
My reasoning is that if they bother to import that dish it's gotta be pretty damn good
I've only ever been burned a couple of times, the rest has been fantastic
>menudo
>wtf this tastes like how a wet dog smells
>unagi
>never the fuck again it's mushrooms and jizz
In defense of both I could have just had really bad menudo and unagi but it's turned me off both and someone would have to buy me either for me to try them again and be willing to send it back and get me something else

i was visiting portugal, went to the grocery store bought some fried mesentery fat snacks

how do you evaluate a cuisine to rank vs others?
do you consider the peak, average, or slop more important?
every country makes their own slop
variety?
how long must a dish be widespread before its part of the cuisine? how long must a dish be adopted by locals from the immigrant group for it to be part of the nationality's cuisine?
how unique does a dish need to be vs other cuisines for it to count or be discredited? - plenty of staple dishes in a country's greatest hits are featured in multiple countries.

I'll tackle this one. There's a dish eaten throughout the Mediterranean, green beans with tomatoes, olive oil and garlic. It's prepared more or less identically regardless of country. Who originated it? Who knows. All I can tell you is that green beans supposedly started in North Africa but as the entirety of the Med eats this simple dish, I'm not going to begrudge the Greeks, the Turks, the Italians, the Maltese, the Maghrebis or anyone else from the Med (except the Israelis) as claiming it as theirs so long as they understand the others all have valid claim to it, too.
