A ranking of the world’s most delicious foods published by CNN has been attracting attention in Japan, as much for including such gourmet delights as pizza, popcorn and hamburgers as for placing sushi 4th…
1. Massaman curry, Thailand
2. Neapolitan pizza, Italy
3. Chocolate, Mexico
4. Sushi, Japan
“If this was a “most beautiful” foods list, this would be no. 1.”
5. Peking duck, China
6. Hamburger, Germany
7. Penang assam laksa, Malaysia
8. Tom yum goong, Thailand
9. Ice cream, United States
10. Chicken muamba, Gabon
11. Rendang, Indonesia
12. Shepherd’s pie, Britain
13. Corn on the cob, global
14. Donuts, United States
15. Kalua pig, United States
16. Egg tart, Hong Kong
17. Lobster, global
18. Kebab, Iran

46. Som tam, Thailand
47. Seafood paella, Spain
48. Potato chips, United States
49. Masala dosa, India
50. Buttered popcorn, United States
Naturally, a food ranking including burgers and popcorn and having more British foods than French is bound to prove controversial anywhere, and even more so where it includes Japanese foods in competition with Chinese foods and being eaten by hairy barbarians…
“Hamburger…”
“To be blunt, what the world calls sushi and what Japan calls sushi are two different things.”
“It would be best if sushi is for the Japanese only.”
“Only Japanese can understand the taste of sushi.”
“I’ve never even heard of most of these.”
“Aren’t the Koreans pissed that kimchee is not number one?”
“There’s 3 Japanese foods, 2 Chinese ones and 0 Korean, of course.”
“The food is the only good thing about China…”
“Ankimo. What the hell…”
“Japanese sushi and foreign sushi are two different things.”
“Shouldn’t ‘curry’ be number one? Who the hell’s even heard of ‘massaman curry’?”
“If you let Americans decide this sort of thing they’ll just pick pizza and hamburgers. Leave it to the Europeans.”
“Sushi isn’t even that nice. It’s just pretentious food critics praising it to give themselves airs.”
“It was just Japanese fast food to start with. Nothing to get stuck up about.”
“Quit praising sushi, you’ll push the price of tuna even higher…”
“Honestly, you can say sushi is a beautiful food but with chocolate, ice cream and burgers this ranking is rather suspect.”
“Of all the Chinese food they could pick, why Peking duck?”
“Sushi isn’t that good. There are a lot of other Japanese foods which seem more worthy to me.”
“American sushi is amazing – they are really perfecting something as simple as fish and rice with all kinds of seasoning, presentation and preparation.”
“Eat sushi every day and you’ll soon be sick of it. You can eat curry every day and never get tired of it – that’s an amazing food!”
“Sushi was never a gourmet food, it was peasant food.”
“Is sushi even cooking? It’s just cut fish on rice.”
“The ranking has burgers in it. It’s nothing. Who cares if sushi is number 4 in such a list.”
“Thai curry outranking Indian curry is a bit strange…”
“The Japanese press had organised this, Korean food would be number one for sure.”
“A laughable ranking made by Americans. How can you take a gourmet ranking which includes hamburgers seriously?”

was the lobster tail in that pic suppose to be intentionally phallic?
No, it was unintentional.
LOL
there are 2 lobster in the pic u_u
Not to mention the rice kinda looks like hair...
Of course it was intentional, whether it was consciously intentional is another matter. Freudian slip.
Only if it was hollow :D
how can linkinstreet becum so slowpoke?
Hahaha.
No.
Food trap detected.
I'm glad someone noticed this other than me... o.o
Either way something is inside something. :p
There are one and a half lobsters in that picture.
How on earth is ketchup a "food"
It's like going "sugar is the best food there is."
Every without cook meat are most danger meat
So many things about this list are terrible.
1.) Fajitas were created in America by an American. There's a reason why traditional Mexican food and "tex-mex" are two different things.
2.) Hamburgers were also invented in America. They started off as "hamburg steaks" - obviously named after the German city - but a cooked meat patty is hardly the hamBURGER we know today. That comes from NYC, when they took the steak and proceeded to stick it on a bun with a bunch of other shit to make it more edible.
3.) I'm also concerned they list "Texas pulled pork" as their BBQ entry. Texas BBQ is known for briskets, not pulled pork. Secondly, any national study/taste test pulled up on BBQ (yes, these things exist - BBQ is srs bsns in the south) typically have Memphis, TN with the best BBQ followed closely by Kansas City, MO. All other BBQ hotspots - St. Louis, Texas, the Carolinas, etc. - rank a distant 3rd after those two cities. So please, don't try to say that Texas trash is the best BBQ in the U.S. - let alone the world.
As a Memphian, I would've been ashamed to see KC on the list instead of us. It's bad enough their ketchup-sugar based sauces are the most popular in the US thanks to KC Masterpiece and Kraft (which tastes like shit btw). But putting Texas above both of us? Well that's downright laughable.
I'm sure I could find a lot more faults, but I'm far too lazy. I'd say I'd expect better of CNN, but after the political scene the past ~3 years, I don't expect anything out of any news network anymore.
Always thinked argentina and brazilian barbecue was better than american, lol.
You can't be more wrong in everything!
Fajitas ARE mexican, and remember texas was mexican too? hello? something up there?
Not true actually. There are a ton of Spanish sounding foods that were in fact created in America or popularized from a Mexican dish into something else. The parlance of Fajita is an American creation. The actual dish can be found in Mexico, but the popular terminology it is used today is from America.
America did create a ton of gourmet and of course, it's popular to just bash them and say they have none.
Whats funny is that texas bbq is uniquely BEEF bbq, they are one of the only states that do primarily beef bbq and don't eat pork bbq, everyone else does primarily pork and go so far as saying texas doesn't do bbq because they don't use pork. Texas pulled pork is a fucking oxymoron.
But what do you expect from a dumbass that says hamburgers came from Germany because it was named after a german city.
The idiots here really do hate facts. Remember you fucking morons, french fries come from france because they have french in the name, not Belgium where they really came from.
The Hamburger is in it's root a German thing, though.
You should really look that up.
It's just been well over a century since German settlers brought a very early variant of the recipe over to the states.
The Briskets are well known because any moron with a grill can produce one. and they do.
Texas pork ribs require a whole lot more expertise to do well, but the prize is amazing.
no prawn mee? bakuteh?
Indeed, Bakuteh is a cuisine from heaven.
Yup that and asam laksa are two foods that I crave for and buy every time I fly through Singapore. You can't get food like that here.
Yup that and asam laksa are two foods that I crave for and buy every time I fly through "Singapore."
=.="
anyway besides penang laksa wheres the satey and nasi lemak. and loads of others.
Thanks, now I'm fucking hungry
yumm yummm
French toast, Hong Kong
dude wat....
pizza was invented in china too, but since they say a special kind of pizza, ill let it slide... lol
Neapolitan pizza is the kind with cheese and toppings you know American pizza. Italian pizza is just seasoned bread.
Bullshit, american pizza is the fatty one drowning in cheese, neapolitan pizza is the thin one with more tomato sauce.
My Chinese friends always told me that Marco Polo stole it from the Chinese. I never had the heart to tell them that Marco Polo never actually went to China.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marco_Polo
I take it beijing, chengdu and lanzhou aren't chinese cities then?
u must hav never tasted it
They're just weeaboos that go on this site too much to bash on the false Chinese news.
everyone stole from china.
what a lie, mexican cuisine has nothing to do with china's rat meat or scorpion sticks.
Rat meat, not actually so likely.
Scorpion sticks, hell yes. They'll put most anything on a stick in China.
Scorpions.
Giant centipedes.
Big-ass spiders.
A bunch of beetles.
Seahorse.
Starfish.
The list goes on.
There's too many people and not enough food, eat what you can.
This list is BS. If it was from Hong Kong, their nationalists would never let it go.
They'd go on a crusade to call it Hong Kong/China toast.
No, because 'toast' was originally brought from overseas like Britain, and Hong Kong has so many other foods named 'x-Hong Kong style' that a toast or two doesn't matter.
It's hong kong style French toast, they should have elaborated. Not sure if it originated there(I don't think so) but Hong kong style french toast is delicious.
“Of all the Chinese food they could pick, why Peking duck?”
probably cause its the only type of duck that didn't explode...
But it's packed with seasons that explodes on your tastebuds.
rofled
i was gonna say the same thing o__O
Hong Kong has its own variation of French toast that's really thick and chunky. No idea why it's on this list, though.

Sushi is only good if the maker is experianced in making it.For that aren't will ruin it and turn it into a nuke. Let me tell you how bad it tasted using the Food Critic graph:
Sour Ass 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 Ishihara
....OVER 9000!!!!!
Hamburger is not a German type of food. It was invented in New York City and named after one of Germany's most important port cities to appeal to German sailors.
How long will it take for people to understand that...
there is some debate as to whether it was New York or Boston.
And it was not called a "hamburger" to appeal to German sailors.
A ground beef patty, fried and topped with sauerkraut and onions is called a "Hamburg steak". Throw that in a kaiser roll, and you have a 'hamburger', perfect for portability when 19th century Teutonic laborers want a quick lunch.
Hamburger i think only refers to the meat.
Not the whole concept of eating it between two slices of bread which was in fact seen first in america.
But like Frankfurter you can wrap in in bread and put things in it, it'd still be a "Frankfurter" Sausage but called Hot dog.
Fail anon is fail
I'll say this: i would rather have a good burger than most of the shit listed.
