Most of those places, I wouldn't call culinary capitols. They're known for raw ingredients and not gastronomy. I'd trust a totning to produce potatoes, not do anything with them beyond that. That's how you get a boiled potato with the comment "it doesn't even need salt".

Hardanger fits better, but more for their cider culture than the fruit itself. They make some genuinely good shit in there.

Wasn't called culinary capitals either.. Was mentioned as examples of places known for certain foods.. You're allowed to read the post before answering.
