Might scrape in to my top 20.

Name them.

 

Like Code’s right back proclamation this could be fun...

 

And you can’t use semi autonomous regions to bolster.

Can't be arsed.

 

All of Southern Europe, several Asian countries, several countries in the Middle East, half of South America. Probably a few others.

Half of South America over France? I’ll give you Peru and Argentina at a push, but really?

So Greek food, which is about six things and stuffed peppers is better than French gastronomic cooking which has influenced the vast majority of Europe? 
 

Strange hill to die on.

Proper Greek food is immense - some of the best fish dishes in the world.

Yes. Bolivia and Colombia as well. Probably a couple of others.

 

I've no doubt that French food is more elegant, more refined, more technical etc, etc, but frankly I'd rather eat a bucket full of Bolivian empanadas.

So cocaine, you’re saying you really like cocaine?

Nah, empanadas would be fucking hard work after a load of coke.

As with most things it’s subjective, but objectively you’re wrong, very wrong.

I’m actually having empanadas for tea tonight, coincidently.

I made some last week, and my next door neighbour is Bolivian and he often does enough for a continent. Hopefully he's made some this weekend.

That would be a handful of stews and grilled steak then.

 

Coq au Vin is wonderful.

Duck Confit is quite nice as well.

Woooooooo. He got you good there. Deserves a hearty touché.

France has had powerful impact on ‘gastronomy’, but rarely would I eat and enjoy much French cuisine. The best thing from France is freshly made bread from a local bakery. I haven’t been to France for about ten years, but the bread and bakeries are great. However, I think much of the country has been left behind. It’s all a bit old and stuffy. Cassoulet is pretty nice.

This

Some amazing dishes but I mostly view it as fine dining.

 

The simple country food is great as is break, cakes etc.

Bread and cheese. You don’t need anything else!
