The Best Cuisine?

[Aemilius Paulus]

Excuse me never heard of a fritkot/frituur have we? Fries are tyically belgium and it's full of food shops which sell it as their main product. Before the time of Mc donaldses which sadly put a lot fo them out of bussiness there was one or more in every little village and dozens on city markets and one in every city block.

Of course I do - that is what I was referring to when I spoke of the 'other' European dishes. I have been to Amsterdam (numerous times, but mostly transit), and I have tried them. My point was that the international popularity of the item was lower than that of pizza. Now, fried potatoes are one of the most widespread dishes in the Western world so... Look, I did not like the second part of my post either - I do not know enough on this topic, and I generalised too much. My apologies. But yes, like I said, I have heard of, seen and tasted the frituur.

Also fastfood isn't cuisine.

My point precisely.

Hamburgers are german btw. Ever heard of the city of Hamburg?

OK, Moros, I understand why you may have posted this, and I do not take offence, as I should have further elaborated my post, but I am not an idiot, I can assure you. I do not think anyone in the Frontroom does not know the origin of hamburgers... Yes, I knew that too, but my point was that French fries and hamburgers became famous after America appropriated them. Namely the hamburgers - french fries, or more broadly, fried potatoes in various forms, as I said, are a common fare in all potato-growing/consuming nations.

Better pizza? euh...no. And what about Italian pasta, antipasta, wine,...
Beer? Hounestly?

Hehe, so right. But American pizza is not a dish, not by my standards. Just fast-food. And in Italy, it was a dish. American pizza has the convenience and standardisation on its side. Of course, its gustatory qualities leave much to be desired...

How about the whole list? Every country has delicious food, but if I had to pick then Indonesian and Chinese would be high on my list.

I live with some Chinese and they have invited me join them for a few meals celebrating Chinese new year, and another that had something to do with the moon. I love hot pot.

I've also tried Indonesian food when I was studying the language in school and I loved it.

Now you've gone to far! (most) Dutch fries are like (most) dutch beer.

...and there isn't a beer in sight.

Yes there is. 3 leffe blond and what looks like a lachouffe. But it could as well be another blond beer using the same or a similar glass type.

My absolute favourite beer. No easy to find though.

Good beer indeed, but after just one I am pretty drunk, the clumsy kind.
