From Italian pizza to American burger
While every country pride itself on its popular
dishes, the general taste may be different for visitors who are not accustomed
to taste new or unusual types of meals. But there are meals and types of food
that foreign visitors agree as the best taste. These foods remain in memory as
part of the advantages of countries that attract visitors to return.
As the circle of admiration expands, some foods became
famous world-widely. It has transcended the fame of the countries that have
created it and become desirable in all countries of the world. One of the most
prominent examples of these foods is the American hamburger sandwich, which has
become a truly international meal. There are many other examples, including
Italian pizzas, French baguette bread and Arabic falafel.
But what many disagree about is the order of countries
that offer the world the best foods. The diversity of tastes and national
affiliations made this task almost impossible. There are dozens of
classifications in the world but the criterion that can be adopted comes from a
neutral rating agency called Ranker, based on the voices of participants from
visitors, tourists and food connoisseurs in their origin countries. The
Foundation is launching a live vote on its website to select the best countries
in terms of food. Italy are still ahead of France with more than 4,000 votes.
This classification not only depends on the tastes of
the countries listed in this regulation, but also on the spread of the
restaurants of the selected countries worldwide, where the Italian, French and
Lebanese restaurants scattered around the world, tried by its customers of
different nationalities contributed significantly to the collection Votes for
these countries. In recent years, Indian, Chinese and Thai cuisines have
contributed to the ranking of these countries to the third, eighth and ninth
places respectively. Turkey, famous for kebab, is in 11th place.
