D looks nice. Greek food, Turkish food, fuck Israel, Indian food, Japanese food, Thai food and whatever crocodile burger Australia serves.
D without the slightest hesitation.
Has to be D. Last time I said Japanese and Mexican, but I forgot Iranian.
D, with G a very close second
D, Italian, Japanese, Vietnamese, Chinese and Indian are already 90% of my diet
D by far has the widest available palette, it includes the silk road which is the thing that fueled C, B, and E.
obviously A
D, hands down. Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, Iranian, Turkish, Japanese, Chinese. Literally my favorite foods
Edit: Also includes a little bit of Italy!!
D without a doubt. Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, parts of China. It’s even got some Mediterranean in there. That’s basically all I eat already.
It’s D and it’s not even a little close. I’d be sad to lose burritos and jerk chicken, and not be able to try more African food, but yea D 10000%, no regrets.
D. I need my Tim Tams.
D has a ton of Asian goodness
Also, D even gets the entire bay of Naples, in addition to the cuisines of 3-4 billion people. Anyone who wants anything from A can get anything from there in Oceania.
D is so OP, I cannot imagine anyone picking anything else unless they are basing their choice on where they live.
Anyone who wants anything from A can get anything from there in Oceania.
But then that’s food you can eat in Oceania, not food from Oceania. D has a ton of good Asian food, but for traditional Western cuisine you want A or H.
D has Australia and nz too
Yeah but the real cuisine from Australia is grubs, roo meat and berries.
You cant only consider indigenous cuisine though. In that case it completely changes Mexican cuisine etc. Infact it changes literally every single cuisine in the world with the idea of ‘real’
But that takes out all the chalange because all the regions have major cities and therefore all sorts of restaurants. I mean you can get good Chinese food in Buenos Aires I know and most other regional cuisines. I mean then New York City is op and everyone else is second place.
Yeah but the alternative is “you can’t eat modern food from absolutely anywhere” because, for example, tomatoes have only been in italy since they were imported from the Americas
So do we not count potato dishes for India since they were introduced by the Brits or how about tomatoes for Italy?
If we allow ingredients but recipes are the issue, than is Japanese curry not counted for Japan considering it went from India to Britain to Japan?
How about removing biryani from India/ Pakistan since the mughals created it with Persian techniques.
What about fusion cuisines? All the pizzas in the world for example?
Keeping it indigenous is literally impossible bc that idea doesn’t even exist.
Yeah that’s (part of) Oceania.
This gate keeping of cuisine is ridiculous. It would logically follow that you have to throw out anything that’s made with something originally from a different zone. So no potatoes, tomatoes, corn or other new world crops… Well, anywhere but one of these sections. Anything that comes from cultural exchange is, apparently, right out. So good luck with whatever the fuck they were eating in mesopotamia and the Indus river valley civilisation. I hope you like your beer to be bread.
If it’s been made by people who identify culturally as being “of that zone”, and they self-identify it as part of their culture, then that’s from there. Pretending that the awful colonisation of the entire world by white Europeans just… didn’t happen is insanely naïve.
then that’s from there
I mean, that’s not what the word “from” means, otherwise curry would be American food and that aside from not making sense would make the OP a lot less interesting to consider.
I’d miss mexican food, but some arsehole bundled it with the USA.
Worse, they bundled it with the worse half of the USA (except for soul food).

D is literally the only answer.
Greek, Turkish, Arab, Indian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Korean, Japanese. If you want something more western, there’s Australian for some classic bbq or fish n chips. There’s also a tiny sliver of Italy.
That’s only if you like those things. G gets you barbecue, Mexican, Peruvian, Cuban, every Caribbean island, Hawaii, French Polynesia, and several others it’s hard to tell from the map.
Of the things you listed from D I only like Greek, Italian, Chinese, and Japanese. And I can get all of those from Hawaii and California.
Yeah I’d choose D but will be really really sad to not be able to eat anything from G ever again.
But you HAVE BBQ, in the form of Hawaiian BBQ, which goes pretty hard too. And there’s BBQ-analogues all over Southeast Asia. And don’t forget, like, all of the Middle East. Check out some of the feast preparations of whole animals, as well as modern “convenience” spins on older recipes more suitable for family-size prep.
I won’t deny, I’d miss Mexican food. Sure, a kebab is basically a burrito, but the differences are enough that it’d be a shame to never have either one.
But I do find the barbecue thing weird. Australian barbecue is close enough to American to be a more than acceptable substitute (although perhaps I’m biased). Korean galbi is amazing, though quite different.
I think Mexican food would be the only major loss here, tbh
G is better- fight me
Of course the CIA would say that.
Look I spent a lot of time in South America… wait I want supposed to say that
And don’t forget Kiwi… I want to say… fruit?
Hangi.
kiwi land has amazing dairy and wine
Mediterranean, middle eastern, indian, Chinese, se asian. I can live with that.
+1 for D
It’s literally where the world gets most of their spices … the English fought wars for those places and those spices
the English fought wars for those places and those spices
To sell them to the world. Never get high on your own supply.
Indian and Chinese ftw. I’ll miss my local Moroccan place though.
plus aotearoa for cheese and wine.
Aussie wine and cheese is arguably even better, yet another reason to go with D.
D also has all the shit I cook. Hello microwaved Vegemite and cheese sandwiches.
D gets Turkish, Arab, Indian, Chinese, Korean… why didn’t you cut this in a way that gives the rest of the world any chance?
D. Curry, Szechwan, vietnamese, thai, asian street food!, Teriyaki and Sushi all day.
D is the only sensible choice, there’s really no debate here.
