The flavors in East Asian cuisine are balanced by the concept of the Dao. Its aromas open the appetite but the tastes aren't as strongly flavorful so that they don't become cloying.

Indian cuisine uses spices as if it were to honor the Gods.

Traditional African and Native American diets tend to employ lots of staple foods like corn, potatoes, cassava, and plantains.

Nomadic peoples tended to use a lot of salted and smoked meats.

I guess the most renowned cuisines in the entire world would be French, Italian, Chinese, and Mexican although other country's dishes are becoming popular too like Korean, Thai, South Asian, and Peruvian.

the biggest cuisines in the world are french, chinese and turkish, why?
because those 3 had the longest monarchies with high end kitchens. Most french cooking techniques and stuff comes from royal chefs and not some random plebs, same goes for ottoman kitchen and chinese.
Imo mediterranian kitchen is the best allaround.
French cooking is more of a artform than "food", that shit is complicated

IF ONE EATS ONLY ONE THING, WHATEVER THAT IS, ONE WILL BECOME MALNOURISHED; NOT ONE FOOD CONTAINS ALL NECESSARY NUTRIMENTS FOR HUMANS.

MAIZE, AND POTATOES, ARE NOT NUTRIENTLESS, THEY PROVIDE ESSENTIAL CARBOHYDRATES, MINERALS, AND VITAMINS.

CEREALS, AND ROOTS, SHOULD BE COMPLEMENTED WITH SEEDS, AND LEGUMES, WHICH PROVIDE OTHER ESSENTIAL MINERALS, AND PROTEINS, FOR A COMPLETE DIET.

Frog food is overhyped garbage. Seriously, I've dined in some pretty respectable French joints and it's generally underwhelming, nothing special. It's not even the best class of European food, which is either Spanish or Italian.

The most enjoyable food comes from places near the eastern Mediterranean (Greek, Turk or Levantine) or near equator ie SE Asia, India, andLatin America where they actually know how to use spices.

Oh c'mon, that's like saying American burgers are shit because you tried McDonalds.

>That shit is lasagna made with bread and you know it.
So, you're saying it's pasta but without pasta? The funny thing is I hate lasagna anyway.
I appreciate both types of pizza at different times. New York style is for when I want eat casually while watching tv or doing something else, Deep Dish is for when I want to sit down and have a meal.

When it comes to western food, the question is simple.

>Do they speak a language derived from Latin?
If so, you're in for a threat. Be it Italian, French, Spanish, Mexican or Peruvian, or Latin American in general, they're the best the West has to offer.

Asian food tends to be pretty good all around the board. Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Thai, Korean, Vietnamese and Middle Eastern are all quite good.

Everyone has their opinion but lets talk objectively now.

French, Italian, and Japanese are generally considered fine dining. As for universal appeal to me the clear winner is Italy. Everyone loves at least one Italian dish, and it has been so influential in so many ways.

Many cuisines have a few great dishes which is why people like them, this includes Russian, Greek, British, Hungarian, Cajun, you name it. But they can't be considered the best.

Honorable mentions go to Chinese, Mexican, Indian, and my personal favorite, Thai food.

To reiterate, Italian food is best.
>>

Pastoralist peoples traditionally store milk in gourds made from hollowed out calabash. When they are being cleaned they are rinsed with water and smoked with Acacia twigs to purify them. This gives the milk a particular flavor along with the different spices that may be added to it. In some places bowls made out of carved Acacia wood are used to drink it.
