1. What, no kippers in cream sauce?

France #1. Most of those olde eastern European cultures #2. Italy in there too. USA has cuisine? Are you kidding? What do they mean - Burger King? Starbucks?

2. The top two are telling

Cuisine with Mediterranean roots tops my list too.

3. Does Romania at #4 surprise anyone?

I'm sure they produce some fine food there, but I didn't expect Romania to crack the top 10.

4. It surprises the hell out of me.

My mother was Romanian. The food was good, but pretty basic. It was certainly nothing to get excited about.

11. What does "best" mean?

I like almost all of these cuisines. Ranking them seems silly. The wide variety is what makes food fun and exciting! And delicious.

12. USA, look at how many overweight people we have.

14. Italian ranks#1 with me too.

Being part Italian myself, nothing else tops sauce, Parmesan and Romano cheeses, spaghetti, fresh Breads, wines, and garlic simmering in Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

15. The best spaghetti I ever had was in Barcelona, Spain.

The worst pizza I ever had was in Naples, Italy.

17. What didn't surprise me was Mexico.

Back in the 80s I spent about ten days in Acapulco, and I have never eaten better, even though I brushed my teeth with bottled water.
