Anyway, I have decided to give my own opinion on this. However, before doing that, I would like to let you know that Singapore's name appeared not once but twice on the list. Sadly, the two Singapore delicacies, chilli crab and chicken rice, settled at a modest 35th and 45th place respectively.
The controversial champion was Thailand's massaman curry, an ubiquitous food that can be bought at almost every street in the country. Number two was another humble dish that consists of a few ingredients called neapolitan pizza from Italy.
Filling up third to fifth place were chocolate that came from Mexico, Japan's iconic food, sushi and China's popular Peking duck.
In my opinion, some of the questionable food which made it to the list include hamburger of Germany (No. 6), donuts in America (No. 14), egg tarts from Hong Kong (No. 16) and erm ketchup (America) which managed to attain 39th place?
The real taste of hamburgers have been blurred after being over-commercialized and too common in every country excluding North Korea. Also, when CNN mention hamburger from Germany, are they referring to the ones cooked in Hamsburg where the food originated from?
Donuts hailing from the United States is another vague one. Who the heck understands what kind of donut is it? Oh, and why must it only be from America? I believe those made in Bangladesh will be equally tasty.
Hong Kong's egg tarts are certainly a decent piece edible material but it is of utmost disrespect and a total insult to Portugal that the latter's one is not featured at all. Authentic Portuguese egg tarts are a class above the rest. Just like Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ketchup can also make it? Then what about sambal chilli, kimchi, peanut butter or ikan billis? I guess I need not elaborate on this unless you are a great fan of tomato sauce.
Actually, I think that fish head bee hoon should be included. Chinese people from other parts of the world like Taiwan and even ang mohs adore this delicacy a lot due to the velvety texture of its carefully-bolied soup.
After writing all the above paragraphs, I am feeling hungry now and I mean very. Here comes my "Out to Lunch" tag.
