    Lots of peeps on the D train, so I’m going G. You’ve got the spiciness of Mexican and Caribbean paired with the savoryness of Guatemalan and Colombian. Jam packed with fish and chicken dishes. Ceviche, jerk chicken, jambalaya, fried plantains, cornbreads, tacos, and giant burritos. Southern Spain means you get paella chock full of shellfish and also Spanish olives. And in the far west you get a bit of Hawaiian flare, so a little bit of Japanese sneaks in.

    Regardless D and G are S tier. E and A are A tier. Everything else is, well, a carb with sauerkraut and sausage.

      After living in D for half my life, the lack of decent Mexican food makes me a G person too.

      I’ll argue that C has a pretty solid showing. Southern Italy, Greece, Croatia, Serbia, the rest of the Balkans, Turkey, Ukraine, Russia, Northern China, Central Asia, Mongolia, Northern Japan. There’s a lot going on there.

    B if only one

    In order of preference for me:

    1. B
    2. A
    3. H
    4. G (kind of a tie with H idk, I just like US borgers basically)
    5. C (for Ukrainian mostly, basically cheating to get back to B lol)
    6. D
    7. F
    8. E

    Anything D and below idk, I could eat it but it I certainly wouldn’t enjoy it, I hate Asian food with a passion, sans that bit of Turkish and Mediterranean which is ok. F and E I honestly don’t know what they eat, like jerk chicken? Nando’s type stuff? Yeah then I might actually choose to starve tbqh.

    Easy D for me. It has Indian, Bangladeshi, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese. I don’t think I need anything else in life lol. Come to think of it, the only food I’ve had in the last month or so that isn’t from D is pizza, but I can live without pizza.

    (I’m Indian so there’s obvious bias. But even if Indian and Bangladeshi food were removed, I’ll still choose D. I’ll be a little tempted by G because of Barbecue, but Korean barbecue is pretty great as well.)

    It’s a hard choice between D and G for me. G gets all of the southern US cuisine that Europeans are always blown away by, along with texmex, traditional Mexican, street tacos, Louisiana seafood, Cali and Florida seafood, etc… But D gets India, the Mediterranean (maybe even Italy? I can’t quite tell on this map), Korean, Japanese, etc…

    If I wanted to commit to consistently good food, I’d go with G. But if I wanted a wider variety with a broader spice palette, I’d go with D.

    Horrible split, going right through my country, my state, and my administrative region.

    For that, I would have to think if food from the other side of the river is considered illegal…

    D by far has the widest available palette, it includes the silk road which is the thing that fueled C, B, and E.
