Barbecue brisket is not better anywhere else than Texas.
As a Canadian it’s poutine. For such a simple dish I’ve never seen it done well anywhere outside of Canada, and I find that very strange. Anywhere I’ve been there’s always something very weird done to it, and I wanted to know what it’s like for other countries.
Pretty much any Mexican food. Tacos are simple yet everyone messes em up.
Even when nice restaurants try and do Mexican they get too fancy with it and just messes it up.
UK – a bacon sandwich, sausages, sausage rolls, fish and chips
I appreciate other countries, places etc may have them on their menu, but unless they do it UK style it just doesn’t come close
I doubt you can even get shrimp and grits outside the US, and probably very few places outside the Southeast.
Same with she-crab soup. Which is possibly the most delicious food that most people haven’t ever tried. There is nothing in the world like good she-crab soup!
as an californian living in japan, ill say mexican food. very hard to find a good taco or burrito here
NY pizza, even in Italy it’s not the same.
As a British woman in London – no one else can do afternoon tea like us. Scones, tea blends, sandwiches, cakes, all that.
Australia (probably UK aswell) our bakerys, pies sauaages rolls, cakes tarts, loafs of break all baked fresh that morning by 60yo grandma who KNOWS her fkn shit hahah
Maple syrup.
The difference between a Ford Fiesta and a Bugatti Veyron is less pronounced than the jump from what most people buy and natural maple syrup.
They’re not even tangentially similar.
BBQ
hot dogs
Skyline Chili
Pebre. It’s fucking amazing and spicy in mine, but in any other country it’s not that good.
As a Vietnamese it is Phở, other countries just cannot compete with the flavour in my country, I would rate it about 5-6 out of 10. Bánh mì also have some good flavour and variation out there that can be acceptable
Tacos
Poutine
Asado. Anyone that knows what that is, and argues with me that Barbecue is the same, is just F* in the head.
Poutine, anywhere else than Quebec they’ll try to serve you some fancy French fries with elegant sauce and weird cheese that cost an arm.. No, it’s the damn fries with the bbq sauce from the grocery store and the squeak squeak cheese! Quit inventing variants, they taste like shit
Pierogi in Poland
Nobody makes a cheesesteak like Philly.
Brazilian BBQ, Texas de Brazil is full on shit and Fogo de Chão is far from what it used to be after it was bought by some huge corporations.
Authentic slow smoked BBQ (brisket, pulled pork, ribs).
Not a country but Philadelphia cheesesteaks are only good in PA.
Buffalo Chicken Wings are only done well in Western NY. The rest of you bums all fuck them up.
