D has a ton of Asian goodness

D, Italian, Japanese, Vietnamese, Chinese and Indian are already 90% of my diet

D, hands down. Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, Iranian, Turkish, Japanese, Chinese. Literally my favorite foods

Edit: Also includes a little bit of Italy!!

Has to be D. Last time I said Japanese and Mexican, but I forgot Iranian.

D looks nice. Greek food, Turkish food, fuck Israel, Indian food, Japanese food, Thai food and whatever crocodile burger Australia serves.

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.

D without a doubt. Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, parts of China. It's even got some Mediterranean in there. That's basically all I eat already.

D is the only sensible choice, there's really no debate here.

D without a doubt. Southern tip of Italy, Greek, Turkish, Persian, Pakistan, Indian, Chinese, Thai, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Australian, just to name a few.

G.

Love Mexican and south American food, Creole, Southern, Cuban…plus the US has stolen foods from around the world, so I guess I get to keep pretty much eating whatever.

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.)

D gets Turkish, Arab, Indian, Chinese, Korean... why didn't you cut this in a way that gives the rest of the world any chance?

D. Curry, Szechwan, vietnamese, thai, asian street food!, Teriyaki and Sushi all day.

B is being slept on in this thread. I mean, look at it - you get northern Italy, Germany, Austria, Hungary, the northern Balkans, Sweden, and Finland. If you like pasta, pizza, grilled meats, fries, potatoes, sausages, licorice, a mindbogglingly large number of breads and cheeses, etc. etc. you'd be stupid not to pick that region.

D or G

D gets you most of Middle Eastern, all of India, most of China, all of South Asia, most of Australia, most of Japan. Huge variety, extremely high number of options, lots of spice availability, lots of meat and nonmeat protein options.

G mostly because of Mexico alone. I've traveled there a bunch recently and the food game is insane. You also get the US South (which does have a lot of great food outside of deep fried everything), Spain, Portugal, and Morocco.

C gets an honorable mention mostly because of southeast Europe. That whole area has been a crossroads for a very long time.

D has all the good stuff. Middle Eastern, Asian food, even a part of Greek food. I don't really see any competition to that.

B You get italian food but still can have Surströmming

I mean D is a powerhouse lol

D has virtually all god-tier food Asia has ever produced, plus a bonus of whatever culinary bullshit Australia vomits onto the world stage.

D without the slightest hesitation.

It is split that way because obviously no one can live for the rest of their life without mediterranean food

D because of the huge variety in food, and the tiny chunk of Italy means I still technically get Italian food :)

G, no contest.

H, because I'm in Canada, and the food would be cold before the guy from D got here.

D is honestly extremely OP

D is the obvious correct choice because the western food in Asia is superior to the Asian food in the west.

D or G because those both can grow coffee.

Tough call though.

D is lots of different Chinese regional dishes (Shanghai style, south China styles, Xi'an Muslim styles, and all the different dumplings); all the great Japanese food, Vietnamese food, Thai food, Indian food, Aussie and New Zealand wines, Aussie steaks, New Zealand lamb, Malay, Indonesian dishes, Cebu BBQ, plus Lebanese and Persian food. That is a lot of variety.

G gets you New Orleans dishes, California wine, Cali tacos, Tex Mex, southeastern USA BBQ, Low Country Boil, Mexican food, Caribbean food, central American, chocolate, and I am guessing Hawaiian dishes.

And now I'm hungry.

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

D, with G a very close second

I live in D, but regardless it's so stupidly stacked it's nearly impossible to choose anything else.

D or G

The only options are D and G

D is probably the best region.

A!

French food! And uh, rotting whale taint buried in sand for three months, then pickled in shark piss.

G, BBQ and Mexican.

D!!! Of Course??? Turkish, Greek, Indian, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Irani, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Filipino.... E, C and G get honorable mentions but it really is not fair at all.

D. Japan literally has so many random recipes that I get overwhelmed when deciding what to try.

D represents something like 50% of the world population. The variety there is likely sufficient to sustain anyone indefinitely.

Although everything in the global south likely has varying degrees if spice, so those with intolerance might be better served with one of the northern slices. That said, slice A would be hands down the worst choice.

This map is doing flavor gerrymandering with D.

It’s D and it’s not even a little close. I’d be sad to lose burritos and jerk chicken, and not be able to try more African food, but yea D 10000%, no regrets.

D is easily superior
