Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Community Guidelines

By following these rules, we can maintain a diverse and informative community. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the moderators. Thank you for contributing responsibly!

I wonder what the map would look like if we ignored pizza and pasta.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago

Like a map I wouldn't want to live in

Waiting for Cypriots and Greeks to realize that Cyprus is set to see Greek food as foreign!

What is the flag within Luxembourg? I can' make it out.

Edit: I'm guessing Portugal.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Yes, Portugal.

I'm surprised about Hungary. There's a Doner vendor on every corner. But due to the uneasiness of having Turkish cuisine or flags around, what with 150 years of occupation and the biggest Hungarian epic having the theme of it to this day, they are usually faking themselves to be Greek selling Gyros instead.

I wonder if in germany the creators considered Döner as Turkish, if yes then this is questionable because Döner is more German than Turkish. If than it's surprising that Italian food looses against Turkish

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

what are you on about, döner means "it spins" in turkish and is a traditional turkish food. Turkish immigrants popularized it in germany just like kebab.

There's an urban legend here in Germany, that the sandwich variant was invented in Berlin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kadir_Nurman

But yeah, from reading up on this just now, that seems to be mostly non-sense.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Maybe I should fact check mouth propaganda more

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I heard that the Türkenbelagerung brought Turkish food to Austria.

No idea whether that's true though

[–] [email protected] -3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Doner is popular in Britain, and it’s not being served by Germans there.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

It is in quite a lot of places.

This made me curious about Suriname. What would be considered specifically Surinamese (?) food? What are things that make it distinctive from other cuisine?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

For those wondering why Surinamese food would be popular in the Netherlands, it was a Dutch colony from 1667 until 1954, because of course, it fucking was.

Lol tomato and garlic, not native to Italy.

If imported ingredients arent valid that quite quickly invalidates almost all traditional foods

[–] [email protected] -4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yes it isn't really foreign cuisine if the ingredients aren't even from the place attributed to the dish lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Yeah Bahn Mi isn't really Vietnamese since it uses French baguette, Tacos aren't Mexican since they use European meats and cheeses not available to Native Americans, Thai chilie is from North America, etc. Fuck outta here.
