Chinese food is gross + MSG filled, sometimes too salty or sweet. PF Chang

IMO Indian food is good, but it's not comparable to this list - that's like saying "North American food > China food > Turkish food"

India is basically a continent, so it's probably better to separate it out by states / regions

I enjoy south Indian food (like samosas/pastries), but can't find any good places here in Idaho

is NOT halal

my dad routinely makes chicken with plums and it's so bad. Fruit and meat do not mix, unless we're talking about tomatoes. Also, those rice piles (pilav) themed around a single vegetable that are so popular in that region may conform to European tastes, but they're the dullest food I've ever tasted.

It's called "Relleno Negro" (black stuffing), The original recipe features turkey, ground pork (on a meatball), tomato, chilmole (a type of sauce based on dried, burnt, red chilies), achiote (a plant), pepper, cloves, cumin, oregano, epazote, garlic and boiled eggs.

It's typical from the Yucatán peninsula.

It's hard to compare the food of "India" to the food of other countries since India is basically a bunch of countries.

It's like comparing USA food to French food, instead of comparing, say, Louisiana (Gumbo) or Texas (BBQ) or Washington (Teriyaki/Sushi) to various countries.

When someone says "do you prefer American food or French food", it's so vague, since American food can mean anything from Pizza to Sushi (it's a ton of foreign countries in a melting pot)

Pretty sure it's similar with India (saying "Indian food" is much vaguer than saying "Japanese food" or "Chinese food")

I think India should break off into a bunch of countries and become like an EU, they could call themselves the Desi Union or the Indian Union or something

The only reason Mexican food is considered an "Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity" by the UNESCO is because it is incredibly diverse.

Mexico (and Mesoamerica) were the origin of some of the most widespread spices and crops from the entire planet (tomatoes, corn, beans, chocolate, vanilla, pumpkins, turkeys, pretty much every single fucking chili pepper, avocados, fucking popcorn etc.), no less, with several fruits, animals and veggies that aren't eaten that much outside of here (guavas, mameys, zapotes, epazote, quelites, huachinangos, escamoles, charales, jaibas, white tailed deers, agaves, etc.). As well as being home of between 10 and 12% of the entire known species of flora and fauna of the entire planet, and we fucking use that in our cuisine. And since, I can only assume (as this things existed here before Spaniards arrived) trade existed between the Americas in the pre-Columbian times, we also had early access to other crops that originated in the Americas (peanuts, pineapples, potatoes, sweet potatoes, guanabanas, etc.)


All of this got enhanced by the Spaniards, the spices, and everything they got in here during the Columbus exchange, not to mention their pretty fucking great cuisine in itself (to which we share and owe many dishes).

And with all of the above, nuns living in the thousands of the Catholic convents that existed in New Spain and later Mexico, had to be incredibly creative in their cooking if they wanted to please the Viceroy of New Spain (the most important Viceroyalty)

So, while I don't doubt India's diversity, underestimating Mexico is a mistake.

>>78961207
Wrong, there were more than 60 different tribes and civilizations in Mexico prior to European colonization. Again, you are underestimating Mexico. I don't know about India, so no comment on that, but you don't know about this place either. By a long shot.

>>78961203
European nations weren't all together in state of peace with each other either until somewhat recently. It might do India good to have direct competition with neighbors. An Indian analogue of NATO can help deal with the threat that is China.

>>78961266
And I forgot to add, we were pretty much a puppet state of France at some point as well, with a Habsburg Emperor and everything. So yeah, also that.

And finally, this 400 dishes, dairies, bakery, and beverages list >>78960312 is by no means everything this country has to offer.

>>78961269
Well Europe wasn't surrounded by radical Islamists and slanty eyed communists either.

>>78961266
Northern Mexicans were hunter gatherers and Central/Southern Mexicans lived in cities and practiced agriculture. Also, Central/Southern Mexicans used the same ingredients.

>>78961434
What's your point when Mesoamerica was the origin of so many different crops, selected, domesticated and cultivated for thousands of years from between 10-12% of the entire species of living things in the planet having available crops form other places in the Americas (Incas) before almost everyone else?

I feel like I didn't write anything.

>tomatoes, corn, beans, chocolate, vanilla, pumpkins, turkeys, pretty much every single fucking chili pepper, avocados, fucking popcorn, peanuts, pineapples, potatoes, sweet potatoes, guanabanas, guavas, mameys, zapotes, epazote, quelites, huachinangos, escamoles, charales, jaibas, white tailed deers, agaves, etc

And that's just without what the Spaniards and French introduced

>>78961534
Because India in comparison traded with other civilizations that existed in different climates. Mesoamerica is a humid or slightly dry mountainous climate with flat lands near the coasts

>>78961643
AND? Mexico got everything else after the Spaniards. They, along with the Portuguese, which at one point united their empires in a single one during the colony period, controlled the entire global trade.

The Philippines was also part of New Spain, and it along with Acapulco, and Veracruz in Mexico, traded between each other and Spain for centuries.

Also, this is an understatement.

>>78961721
The only thing Mexicans got from Europeans is basic stuff like pigs, cows, wheat, etc. Spanish food has nothing to do with Mexican. It'd be like saying Italian food is indigenized because the tomato is a common ingredient. Or Irish food and potatoes.

What is so unique about a taco made with wheat or a stew made with chicken instead of turkey (indigenous)?

Dude, this place was literal "New SPAIN", you really are not an expert, stop.

The French also introduced their bakery, we even almost went to war because of a goddamn French Baker was a cunt.

And we don't call magos "manila" just because.

>>78961748
Also, there are more variety of climates between North and South America (two different hemispheres at the complete opposite season in completely different latitudes) than it is between left and right in Europe and Asia (several times, at the exact same Latitude)

It's no coincidence that most of the Megadiverse countries on the planet are in Latin America (Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Mexico, Ecuador, etc.).

Moroccan food? What is that, like, rice, bread, and dates?

French food is bland imo, but looks amazing and fancy

Korean food should be higher, if KBBQ counts

>>78963526
>Moroccan food? What is that, like, rice, bread, and dates?
Look it up. It's god-tier, the fusion of numerous cuisines and trade routs. Typically the main courses are meat-based dishes with honey, fruits, nuts, olive oil, garlic, cinnamon, various other spices, and couscous or a crusty bread.
>French food is bland imo, but looks amazing and fancy
It's not heavily spiced, but it's comfy. Same reason why I love Germ cuisine.
>India should be split into South/North (where South food > North food)
good point
>Korean food should be higher, if KBBQ counts
idk, it's a criminally overrated cuisine imo, especially if you're taking non-BBQ dishes into account. Lots of throwaway meat cuts and poverty produce put together in unappetizing ways.

Looked up Moroccan and found this.

Didn't know Couscous was Moroccan, I like the texture. Idk about the dishes though, I enjoy the individual ingredients, but at least from this image it looks kinda basic to me

Do you have any dishes that exemplify the cuisine as a whole?

Man, I'm hungry

Oh, it's anything but basic.
Some standard dishes are chicken bastilla, lamb m'rouzia, braised hare, and any tagine dish, moroccan eggplant salad, and mint tea.
