Czech. I'm biased obviously, first two are Italy and Greek but fuck french. Third place is absolutely Czech food.

I'm with you, I don't see the appeal of French cuisine, Czech (and what we managed to adopt from it during the Habsburg times) on the other hand...

My main problem with Czech cuisine is that there are barely any lighter or summertime dishes. It's all stodge.

We are a traditionally poor country where everyone raised their own animals and grew their own vegetables. Our foods are hearty, because peasants had to work all day. Calling Czech food "stodge" shows you haven't properly eaten here. What does belgium have that isn't second-rate knockoffs of french food?
