"Canadian and American? Is this a joke I guess. What food is this? Burgers and McDonald's?"

Err, no. America has by far the most diverse food. Which is expected since it has the most diverse demographics.

Tsh, not the most diverse, go to Vatican City for that (100% foreignborn).

Russia has the most diverse food, since it is spread out over a diverse area (Turks, Northwest Caucasisans, Northeast Caucasians, Mongolians, the list goes on).

@Apollo (last answer)

Hypocritical points are hilarious also.



Were you talking about yourself?


pathetic argument


True, and insulting us of "frogs" or snails eater is showing how much you are not able to answer decently, and not able to start a constructive debate (you still did not showed anything particular about the English cuisine), instead of that you are showing yourself that you are butthurt, hurted in your English pride, and you just succumbed to a childish face-saving quarrel.

Now that "argument" is indeed over.

Yes I'm calling myself hypocritical Panda, you are just as ignorant as I am to French food.
Worst cuisine: UK and USA (no identity, nothing interesting)
You are basing this off two experiences, eating fast food and fish n chips. It's like me basing French food on snails and frogs legs. We are both missing the point, we known nothing about each other. So we can both leave this argument being a typical English vs French. Stubborn and Hypocritical.

I've already posted various English dishes if you would have noticed and have stated most fast foods originated in America.

It's hilarious that all you have mentioned there is my inability to construct an argument.

Answering decently yourself? You are clearly. Truly is a pathetic argument.

My two experiences were enough to give me a first idea of what the english cuisine/customs are: most of the English (I did not say everybody) do not cook at home (whereas when I went in Spain/China/Italia, in comparision people are always cooking at least some elaborated cuisine), and few "true" English restaurants exist in London but we really tried to find some (we tried the English breakfast, some baked beans and fried eggs, and Fish&Chips and so what? Nothing incredible, and it does exist everywhere and is actually really easy to elaborate).
The English cuisine is not really popular worlwide, because it does not offer that much culinary variety.


And as this thread is about Cuisine, if you want to know some famous French dishes or culinary specialities, instead of those snails and frogs you are afraid of and that you are always talking about, you could try:

- Southwestern French cuisine, where I come from (Basque country), example of dishes: Duck confit, foie gras, cassoulet, several goat's cheese (Ossau Iraty), many gascon and pyrenean dishes with mushrooms and farmer/mountain recipes, charcuteries, basque seafoods and traditionnal dishes (marmitako, axoa, chuleta, Espelette hot peppers, fish/meat a la plancha, Bayonne's ham and renowned chocolate) , and many drinks: Famous Bordeaux wine, Armagnac, Cognac, Basque ciders.

- Northwestern French cuisine: most represented by Britanny: Kig ha farz, Breton crêpes or galettes au beurre (most of Breton cuisine is seafood or dishes cooked with flour and cereals), Kouign Amann, Camembert of Normandy, drinks: Pineau of Charentes, Calvados liquor, PBreton/Normandian ciders.

- Southeastern cuisine: most represented by Provence's culture, most of all seafood: Bouillabaisse, brandade de morue, Corsican dishes (Brocciu, Pulenda and Figatellu, boar elaborated dishes and charcuterie), drinks: Pastis/Ricard liquor.

- Northeastern cuisine: Carbonnade (beef stew braised in beer), Choucroute, pain d'épice desserts (gingerbread), drinks: Alsatian renowned beers ( Fischer, Karlsbräu, Kronenbourg, and Heineken), Alsatian wine, champagne.

- Alpine and central France: Escargots de Bourgogne! (those are snails), Coq au vin (cock with wine), Boeuf Bourguignon (beef), hundred of cheese and recipe wit cheese (roquefort, tartiflette, fondue).


And please, do not talk again about "French" fries, this is not French cuisine...

This is how we treat the junk-food in Southwestern France

I don't want to continue this argument, I was just making a point.

However, Bertrand Delanoë, Mayor of Paris from 2001-2014, said "the only worse food than British food is Finnish" in the run up to the vote on which city got to host the 2012 Olympics. The final round of voting went 54 to London and 50 to Paris. There was 2 Finish members of the IOC. So thank-you for giving us the Olympics in 2012. :)
