News Forum - Tasteless Thai food humbled by American culinary excellence

[Thaiger]

Thai food was humbled by American when TasteAtlas announced their top 50 best cuisines from around the world, and almost everyone was offended. While some obvious countries made it into the top spots, not everyone agreed with the breakdown. Taking the top three spots were Italy, Greece and Spain, who were joined by the likes of Japan, India, Mexico and Turkey in the best ten. A surprise addition to the top ten was the United States itself, in eighth place, beating China (11), Brazil (12), Indonesia (16), and Thailand, far off down the digestive tract in 30th place.

America - home to 73.6% of overweight and obese adults. Pass the Thai salad bowl please.

I think they never taste the Thai food with Thai girls sitting beside them

Home of the pinnacle in culinary delights- the bacon explosion. The explosion part is the arteries to the heart exploding during consumption.

Ah, the bacon buttie, truly the ultimate, there are those that like to tart them up with lettuce and tomato, but these are quite unnecessary. And brown sauce - only a barbarian would use tomato ketchup.

Been to a few "Burns" nights, piped in Haggis etc and tried the haggis with as open of mind as I could, sorry but you can keep it and I'll stick with Vegemite.

Each to his own I suppose.

I don't see anything wrong with the placement and anyone who does hasn't traveled and ate all throughout America

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now if it is just food made in America(meaning all types of ethnic food, Italian, Greek, etc) than it could easily be #1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But if it is just idegenous food created in the US there is still amazing foods

 

 

 

Creole

 

 

 

Southern Cooking 

 

 

 

BBQ

 

 

 

Soul food

 

 

 

American Bistro food

 

 

 

And yes, burgers. There are some amazing burgers all over the US

 

But, with the exception of a few countries 

I think every country I've been to has great food

Costa Rica comes to mind where I struggled to find great food

I'd also argue America made their own version of pizza and it has the best pizza  in the world and no country comes a distant 2nd

One other thing I meant to add is regional seafood in the US is amazing 

 

 

 

Simply amazing and different in all regions 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Last night at Xmas I made Lobster Rolls which are, or used to, exclusive to New England area

 

My wife had her Thai chef call her tonight asking how he can make them

Once again your bias is showing through... while I agree that the USA citizenry especially women have a weight control problem... it is nowhere near 73.6% as you state... try to at least be reasonably honest for once.

[Skip]

One good measure as to the taste of food is how much spice and hot sauce is added... good food doesn't need to burn or be doctored by sauces to be tasty...  a quality basically lacking in Thailand... thus hot and spicy rules.

[Grumpish]

Just got round to having a look at the TasteAtlas link, the French are probably demanding the death sentence for suggesting that they actually become behind the US. Some of the selections are bizarre, not even dishes - just one example is that one of the best Chinese foods is soy sauce, The whole thing reads more like someones trawl of mentions on social media
