Italian food is incredibly overrated.

Head out Nagasaki way and see how much Portuguese influence there is on Japanese cuisine.
Castella, Tempura even Somen to some degree.

All their best dishes were imports though.
Pasta, Risotto, even the Tomato.

For me it’s close between Italian and Vietnamese. Vietnamese probably gets the nod as I love spice and I love pork

You want to know which country has the best cuisine but Italy doesn’t get to claim pasta?
So NZ gets to claim the Pavlova?
They get to claim a fruit meringue, they can’t claim the actual ‘Pavlova.’
I’m getting a feeling the Chinese are a bit underrated on blitz.

If I go by how much I’ve enjoyed the cuisine when travelling there, it’s Thailand, Italy, India and Malaysia.

My partner and I had pasta once in Thailand. She said the pasta didn’t quite taste right. So I tried it and it was a bit odd. She said, hmmm I think it’s the basil, they used Thai instead of Italian. I replied, so you’re saying the basil is fawlty?
