    I've gotta go with American, and I voted Mexican because, as Strike pointed out, Texas food is awesome. Though I still maintain, Strike, that any West Coast "pulled pork" crap will never comapre to genuine NC-style barbecue, which must be smoked all day in a giant smokehouse, NOT pre-packaged and sold in your local TGI Friday's.

    I'll grant that the whisky is a matter of taste (although even the best Scotch still tastes like turpentine), but Beer? I'm sorry, but Europeans have no idea how to make beer. The stuff you cann "beer" is more like a crappy soup, or maybe some sort of sewage byproduct. I feel like I should be pouring it over ice cream as a crappy novelty topping.

    Edit: almost forgot, black and white puddings are surprisingly good. But other than that, I would never touch any food that comes from the British isles. Anyone who considers the congealed remains of a boiled pig's skull to be an acceptable dish needs a serious lesson in cuisine.

    Thanks for the laugh

    As Banquo said, the title of the topic says all. But since I'm obviously biaised, and have to provide a non-nationalist answer, I'll say Italy, Belgium or Switzerland, because it's pretty much the only civilizations that make edible food. Germany and Spain are okay-ish, the rest of the world is a sad place food-wise.

    I know what you people do and still maintain its not BBQ.

    The brisket is the main BBQ meat, followed by Suasge, then Turkey.
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    In that case, if we should ever meet I challenge you to a duel. Especially if you rank sausage and turkey above pork.

    I feel I've got to get in on this duelling business too, You sir have besmirched the name of my homeland, if we ever cross paths prepare to meet the fury of a haggis flying straight onto your bonce!
    Pah! to your "beer", I produce better drinks when I go to the toilet in the morning.

    What is dish is that?, never heard of anything like that before. Ps if you like white pudding you might like haggis, its kinda the same but spicier.

    I only have American cuisines, so I don't know what a Mexican cuisine would be like. I do have an Italian Aunt though, and she is pretty nice. Unfortunately she had no children, so I don't have Italian cuisines either...

    Jesus, no wonder your beer tastes like crap.

    That would be Hog's Head Cheese, as it was explained to me. Apparently there's more to it than just that, but regardless it involves boiling a pig's skull and eating what comes off and out of it. Compared to that, American scrapple sounds like a prime cutlet. And I will be sure to try Haggis given the chance.

    I've got to vote other, as Korean food isn't listed.
