Whose cuisine reigns supreme?

I had elk steak at a Scandinavian restaurant in Wisconsin.  The potato ball sounds good.

Scandinavia has more to offer than rotted fish.

Swedish meatballs, Danish Christmas duck. Traditional folksy food here in Norway is cod, herring, lamb and lots of pork.

Consider the Norwegian potato ball, which is mashed potato with bacon or salted side of pork boiled or fried. Cod is probably the best fish there is, and a filet of cod with chopped almonds, melted butter and a boiled egg served with potato, aspargus and carrots is nothing but lovely. In the northern parts, they skip the butter and use bacon and bacon fat.

And you can't go wrong with a whale casserole or steak of elk.

I had some potato balls the other day. Faboo.

I recall that there is a very famous restaurant in Denmark.

What is the deal with Swedish meatballs?  What makes them Swedish?

I'm guessing the seasoning and sauce?  Plus they often come with lingonberry jam.

What is this post?  None of those qualify.  Only French & Italian in the West and Indian & Chinese in the East are worth mentionning - *snif*

It's pretty hard to tell british isles food apart except for a few oddities. British food doesn't deserve the injustice it gets however. It's not one of the worlds best, it doesn't belong with Italian, Chinese, etc... But it is solidly second division
Sweden does have some pretty nice things. If you want bad then look to the Dutch

I could quibble in the west, but in the east? No Thai, Vietnamese, or Japanese?

[Josquius]

I really don't get the love for French food

[Barrister]

I'm going to stand up for Russian / Ukrainian cuisine.

Look, it's not the best in the world (that may just belong to Italy), but it has it's gems.

Starting with the strictly peasant cuisine, dishes like borscht, pyrogies, and holopchies are good, healthy and tasty stick-to-the-rib types of food.  Nothing wrong there.  Even if you move up to fancier meals you have dishes like beef stroganoff or chicken kiev.

I presume you mean the westernized Chinese offering you get in Europe or Canada, not the traditional Chinese home cooking as done in mainland CHina?
