Wet and dry cultures. Long read but very interesting.
https://www.robinroom.net/response.htm

Basically, in wet cultures, alcohol is woven into daily life. Drinking is common but getting drunk isn’t. In dry cultures, drinking is not done daily, often not done with meals, and is more a standalone activity. Thus drunkenness is more common.

American houses are nicer than anything that exists outside a few European countries. Never yet been inside a European house that had central air or plumbing from this century.

You are mistaking being a jester with being interesting or having empathy. Our emotional depth is much deeper than yours, that is why we despise constantly displaying it, because it would cheapen it. Like seriously ever had an Italian thank you for a minor thing and them acting like you saved their mom from a raging fire? Have some fucking perspective, my guy.

This is absurd. Traditionally food in northern Europe is bland but bland is not necessarily bad. Especially with fresh whole grains, butter, dairy and beef in your diet. That diet actually MOGs most others globally just on fundamentals even though Mediterranean is genuinely great. The real downside for northern Europe is most modern like, weird industrial shit in their food. The pastries and etc from northern Europe are actually beloved internationally.

In the US, German and Austrian restaurants along with French were historically considered fine dining. It still largely this way. It's the least pretentious, best quality by far in every ingredient and the wine is the best of all imports from those three countries. French restaurants here are proud and fiercely protective of their reputations. Italy isn't in the same league even though it's very popular because there was a great number of late 19th/20th century immigrants who were not Italians but LARPes as the and did not have western European standards. They shat the bed for them.and made Italian food = commodity items+garlic. The olive oil we get from Italy, spain or the Balkans is often fake and terrible too.

Our thing is steakhouses, which we got from Anglos, and do steak better than any other country on average. Steak is like our one thing nationally where coast-to-coast the quality is enduring and always good. Most importantly vegetables are disregarded in these establishments. Japan has good places to get great steak in, as does Europe but it's not a national thing anywhere like it is here.

BBQ or fried chicken, etc are all more regional.

Very few things even grew in central/northern europe historically due to long winters and a single, short vegetation season. Not even wheat for example. You had problems raising animals because of that as well as they also need fodder. Food was bland and monotonous because of that (among fruits you could somewhat rely on apples and that's it).
You are pants on head retarded if you think that Northern Europe > Slavic btw. jeet
>>
>>18502923
I read a paper years ago that stated Scandinavians grew wheat for 3000 years, then switched to rye, oats and other crops for nearly 2500 years due to climate shifts. Then back to wheat again in the 1900s. If they oil economy stopped I wonder how many other regions would have to make huge agricultural pivots like that.

Tbh this just confirms to me that you've never actually had authentic Chinese food. Spend a week in Taipei and I'll bet you change your tune, it's a fantastic city with beautiful temples, friendly people, and S tier food. Great Chinese food can be found in the US too (if you're American).

Once again "authentic" Chinese food is shit like chicken feet and testicles. What you ate in Taipei will have been consumer slop for modern Western appetites.
Crepes with strawberries and cream is NOT authentic Chinese food.

The only possible exception to this is Sichuan food, and even then that doesn't really have any distinct flavor, just oil and chili.

I have always seen that as an explanation for japanese behaviour. I travelled to Osaka to meet some family members from there and every corner had some sort of bar or gambling den or pseudo prostitution center attached to it and while I know it seems to be partially a regional thing given their increased workload and how rigid they are constantly I wouldnt put it past all of that shit being a coping mechanism for their lifestyle
However I think the main difference is that germans are way more strict about being morally correct compared to japs, japs can let a lot of inadequacies in a person slide as long as they make money or have other roles to fill for society, you could do anything in your free time and not have it affect your work. Meanwhile my time studying abroad in Germany (im brazilian) during high school was incredibly miserable, I had colleagues suddenly feel completely taken aback by simple things like jaywalking or accidentally throwing something in the wrong colored trash can. Everything to germans seemed to result in an excuse to get into a physical altercation and make a big fight out of it as if the veneer of being civilized suddenly went away at any opprotunity they had to take it off without consequences. I didnt feel this way in my experiences in the UK or in France and I hardly see that type of behaviour even where I live. Granted the heightened number of turks probably had something to play in that, they really are eager to jump people
>>18500878
From my experience it really depends on where, im certain some places like Scotland and Birmingham are more moist leaning but imo I think it's a very adequate middle point between both with shit like soccer and drinking being the brits' way of putting stress out

I've read before that Britain is so overly polite because by default they're always looking to fight, so being overly polite is pre-emptively pacifying the other party.

>Indian street food
Beyond unhealthy, throwing shit in a pot and seeing what sticks. Some people like to claim that le chaos is le art and le good actually but it just comes across as a vaguely spicy incoherent taste with too much dough
>Mexican food and latin american cuisine in general
Garbled mess with too much dough every which way. Typically those countries tend to have higher quality meat than most but theyre never used in that type of casual everyday cuisine, rather opting for just the unhealthiest type of meat on dough contraption one can reasonably sell. The meat's good as fuck though, I dont wanna be too much of a cynic who hates his own grandma's food

Pure artistry, a true blend of exotic elements from all over the world and many nations' collective will being put into even the plebbiest of mouthes. Even if you lick bread off the ground in Rome im sure you will feel blessed

I wasn't ranking them based on their culinary art, I was ranking them based on which tastes the nicest.
Curry is SS tier.
Every Mexican food which is the exact same thing but called something else (Enchilada, fajita, burrito) is delicious.
Pasta with meat sauce is delicious, pasta with cream sauce is also delicious. Ditto Pizza.
Chinese food is too unhealthy for what it is. If you're going to have that many calories you may as well have a good portion of something really nice instead of a bunch of salt and sugar coated in oil for 100 calories per bite.
I was including all the Germanic foods in Northern Europe, so every different kind of pie. Decent enough but pretty bland.
>slavic food
Just fucking borscht and bread. Utterly tasteless.

If I was ranking the cuisines based on culinary art it'd be completely different. France would be it's own tier.

Im brazilian and live in Brazil. I have gone to and helped multiple barbecues both in the US and the UK during my travels/work time in both of them. It's brutally mediocre slabs of hyper adulterated meat with some sausages built out of pig dicks on top. Here in Brazil we also have the same thing and it's typically called churrasco although given that argentinian and brazilian meat is typicaly more organic and higher quality than american/british meat the taste tends to be a bit better overall. It's great for a snack with friends but it aint exactly hearty artistiqué cuisine all things considered. I worked at a fairly expensive (roughly 500 dollars per customer) steakhouse for quite a while and meat is my specialty but it's not exactly high art/craft or anything as much as it's just getting something from a good distributor and putting it in perfect conditions, very little work required by the actual cook
And plenty of automated grills work with just gas these days carbon transmissions are negligible

Yup! Indian food always tasted like a messy grab bag of random shit to me and mexican food always had it's taste dilluted by the sheer amount of overwhelmingly thick dough involved. I wish I was a movie or music elitist or something instead of a food one because often times I will pick something up and be unable to eat it out of lack of passion for that specific meal. Indian food in particular always felt kinda tasteless and specially curry makes me want to gag. I try to not be snobby but holy fuck curry feels overly watery and textureless. I have some more patience qith mexican food out of familiarity but it still feels tasteless and bad to my tastebuds in particular

I have at multiple times denied living in another country purely because I prefer mine on an emotional and spiritual level, most people IRL call me a fanatic with an unrealistic nationalist sentiment attached, the name Policarpio Quaresma gets thrown around every time I go out drinking
However just because I love my country doesnt mean I cant recognise it's simply not proficient at certain fields that never had the chance to properly grow here. Beyond junk fried food you find at bars or grandma's house there's really nothing going on and for a country this large it's surprising it only has like what 2 michelin star restaurants that got nominated in the last 5 years or so. Fine meals have never been something brazilians felt the cultural need for, probably because of indigenous ancestry and being ok with just eating fish from the river all day. Some forms of art like fashion design and architecture just objectivly never properly caught on here due to various anthropological factors, dont be a retard about it
