World's favourite cuisines. 25,000 people in 24 countries were asked which nation's food they preferred. Interesting results.

@yougov @infobeautiful strongly suspect that red = “never tried it” rather than “don’t like it”
@BenAveling @yougov @infobeautiful Trust me, French people know British cuisine !
@infobeautiful @Flomo @yougov Yes but, for eg, the French rate Singaporean food nearly as harshly as British food.
@BenAveling @infobeautiful @yougov it was just a joke, because we do like to trash our British neighbour no matter the subject.
On the more serious side, i have never tasted a huge part of the listed countries food so i share your doubts.
@infobeautiful @yougov Now I just want to know how many Peruvian responders know Finnish cuisine and how it differs from Swedish cuisine, for instance.

@tml @infobeautiful @yougov is Finnish cuisine server worldwide in Finnish furniture shops ?

I think not.

@infobeautiful @yougov Dutch cuisines is so bad it didn't make the list.
@infobeautiful @yougov Italian know how good their cuisine is 😆
@infobeautiful @yougov I love how all the very bright green dots are countries enjoying their own cuisine. Except Caribbean cuisine, which doesn't seem popular in Caribbea.

I do wonder a bit about my home country, germany, though... "German cuisine: 87" "Italian cuisine: 89", and everything else is less than that.

@MisterMoo @infobeautiful @yougov

@wonka @MisterMoo @infobeautiful @yougov I'm a German as well and I might say, German food is decent, but I doubt, it can compete with many other nation's cuisines
@infobeautiful @yougov Lol! Saudi Arabian cuisine? That makes the whole thing sound b.s.
@infobeautiful It looks like Italy is the closest to 100% enjoyment of its own cuisine. Looking at everyone else’s responses to it, I get that.
@infobeautiful @yougov I am surprised that American is so high, and that Indian is so low.
@Daveosaurus @infobeautiful @yougov It's funny how some famous dishes were invented in Britain but by Indian immigrants and are only that popular because they taste nothing like British cuisine
@shaedrich @infobeautiful @yougov No argument here... especially about chicken tikka masala being the best meal ever to have been invented in Scotland...
@Daveosaurus @infobeautiful @yougov I'm a fan of butter chicken, but they are very similar, so yeah, I get the love for chicken tikka masala 👍🏻
@infobeautiful @yougov IDK if British or American can go together with cuisine 😅

@infobeautiful @yougov

Really surprised Greek cuisine doesn't rate more highly

@infobeautiful @yougov Were they asked which nation's food they prefer, or—for each nation—whether they like that nation's food?
@infobeautiful @yougov Jokes on graph - Australia doesn’t have cuisine
Pie floater - Wikipedia

@jimbob @michael @infobeautiful @yougov
One regional dish doesn't exactly make a cuisine
Fusion probably looks like Australia's cuisine but wouldn't be recognised as separate from the parent cuisines.
@jimbob @infobeautiful @yougov Gonna be 100% honest with you, Dad, I have never heard of this thing.

@jimbob @michael @infobeautiful @yougov

This is something Pea Soup Anderson's in Santa Nella should add to their menu.

@infobeautiful @yougov @pipesunlimited, apparently Filipinos are the only people who really like Filipino cuisine 🤣
@SimonCHulse
We love our pork and chicken adobo. Lol 🤣

LB 👆🏻

Australia 🤝 Germany 🤝 Denmark

Likes Italian food better than home-grown cuisine

@infobeautiful @yougov Wow that *is* fascinating. Went to Phillipines for the first time last year and thought they revered American cuisine, and there it is!

@infobeautiful @yougov

I like how the Philippines basically likes everything. Best attitude!

@infobeautiful @yougov it's only cuisine if liquified in a cuisinart. Otherwise it's just sparkling slop
@infobeautiful @yougov Also helpful type of #visualisation. Conveys findings well. A shame they used green and red, which is not #Colour-blind safe.
@adriangadientbruegger @infobeautiful @yougov ditto. And it would have been useful to have same order top and side... Easier to see self-love!
@infobeautiful @yougov
How do you find thousands of saudis who have already tried finnish food? The graphic can only be a joke, please don't take it seriously.
@infobeautiful @yougov it seems like I'm the only one liking Peruvian cuisine? 🤔
@infobeautiful
7th: American cuisine!
Hum… 🤔
@infobeautiful Where is georgia / caucasian cuisine? Should be at least in the TOP 5.
@infobeautiful @yougov What on Earth is British doing in the top half?!
@infobeautiful @yougov goes to teaching folder as example why sometimes table is the best visualization, superior to any summarizing chart!
@infobeautiful @yougov Well, at least "Italian, Chinese and Japanese cuisines are the world's most popular" doesn't come as a surprise, though
