There is 1 Bojangles in all of Pennsylvania. I'd love to see how they got this data.

Also, dunno if it's the most popular takeout in Kazakhstan, but Almaty has a very well-regarded burger place called KetchUp, for one of the no data countries. There's something delightful about KZ of all countries having such a silly-named burger restaurant so highly esteemed.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:China completely flexing on everyone My former girlfriend's family was Chinese, and every restaurant we went to or picked up food from with them, for 6 years, was a Chinese restaurant. The sentiment seemed to be "Our poo poo is really good, and if we want to mix it up we can get Sichuan or Fujian-style or something." I ate a lot of good food with them, but my girlfriend confirmed that yes, they basically never went out to any other type of restaurant.

I'm beginning to suspect that this map isn't based on anything, much like every "most popular x by territory".

Trip Advisor used bad methodlogy based on their ratings system to put insane ratings lists like this - like the time they declared that the best city in the US for Pizza was San Diego.

I ate a lot of good food with them, but my girlfriend confirmed that yes, they basically never went out to any other type of restaurant. Yeah that's pretty standard. I had Chinese coworkers who were complaining once about how Italy has no good food and I had to ask for some details since it's Italy, and discovered they had not eaten any Italian food the entire trip, just went to lovely Chinese restaurants and complained it was bad (or ate the cup noodles they brought for times when there was no Chinese restaurant available). I would beg my students to not just eat Chinese food when they moved abroad for college. It's one of the cultural barriers that was just incomprehensible for me as an American, to live in Korea and meet people who just ate Korean food three times a day, every day, their entire lives. I can't imagine eating kimchi and rice at every meal for 40 years straight. I don't care how much I like something, I need variety. Every country needs immigrants who want to open restaurants. One of the only unambiguously better things about living in the US. China does have quite a range of cuisines but my experience is people mostly just eat their local stuff. I was living in Sichuan and if you wanted like Cantonese food? Good luck finding anything actually Cantonese and not "Cantonese" that's been Sichuanified into being unrecognizable. There was a single decent Dongbei restaurant in a city of 12? million. One of the funniest things I saw was the Korean guy bringing a five kilo bag of rice with him on vacation to Japan so he'd have something to eat.

I'm bothered by the way this map shows the states extending into their underwater territory in the Great Lakes... but doesn't do it for Michigan. Show it or don't show it, but be consistent!

I would beg my students to not just eat Chinese food when they moved abroad for college. Isn’t this a relatively recent phenomenon? I had grandparents (and then parents) that only barley got out of Great Depression palettes so I personally got used to eating a lot of the same foods. Hyper-capitalism bringing variety is super cool - don’t get me wrong - but I think the idea of having so many options is literally a brand new concept for the human experience. I grew up and live in NYC for context. I still get upset when I hear folks say “omg I can’t drink this water - it’s not flavored” because I still think that’s too much haha. I know people that straight up refuse to eat or drink anything unless it’s flavored.

I could definitely eat kimchi and rice every day for 40 years if my mum or wife always cooked it for me

Similarly, there are only three Church's Fried Chicken locations in the state of Washington (and one of them is closed "temporarily"). If people here wanted to avoid naming KFC, Ezell's--a Washington-based fried chicken chain with 17 locations--would be a far more believable choice.

FishBulbia posted:I feel like "Chinese" might need some more nuance in China lol. Nah, "Chinese food" is the term people use there. There are specific terms for different styles if you want to specify but usually people just say Chinese food and you can correctly presume they're talking about what they grew up with. One of the delivery apps I used there had "Chinese food" as one of the search categories and I always found it funny. Really narrows it down!

lol "Indian" for the Netherlands. Nooo, that would be "Indisch", Indonesian. Because colonialism. Often prepared by chinese restaurants that rebranded themselves to "chinese-indisch" when they found out that's more popular than traditional Chinese here. True Indian takeaway exists in the Netherlands but it's not that easy to come by. True Chinese food also exists but you kinda have to go to Chinatown to get it.

Greek food is almost nonexistent in East Asia, I doubt many Japanese people have ever had it. But lamb is pretty unpopular in Japan (probably the only time you'll ever see it there is in jingisukan) and I am guessing if they know anything at all about Greek food it's that it involves lamb, so that's where the judgement is.

Grape posted:The Japanese need a good talking if they feel the same about British and Greek food. The problem with that chart is that it conflates ‘don’t like’ with ‘haven’t tried’ I’m guessing Peruvian is better than it appears, for instance (I don’t know, I haven’t tried it)

Family Values posted:The problem with that chart is that it conflates ‘don’t like’ with ‘haven’t tried’ A Peruvian restaurant outside of Peru will almost certainly be roast chicken with both fries and rice as side so I have no idea how it scores so low. Im vegetarian now but back when I ate meat Peruvian chicken was a fave.

Singaporeans apparently are the only ones outside of the nordics to appreciate Swedish food. Either they have some really nice meatball restaurants there, or they enjoy surströmming videos way too much.

Family Values posted:The problem with that chart is that it conflates ‘don’t like’ with ‘haven’t tried’ It says "% of people who have tried that cuisine in each country that say they like it" so I assume you don't count if you haven't even tried it. Its pretty obvious that people like something familiar. There are lots of Filipinos working overseas and on the seas so it makes sense they're the most open-minded about food. It's also amusing how visible French and Spanish colonial history is on the chart.

Civilized Fishbot posted:Are you saying Lenin called himself a Marxist-Leninist? Well no, for the same reason Marx didn't call himself a Marxist. Just that the M-L description was used even after Stalin was begrudgingly considered a Bad Man and wasn't linked to him in the way it was to Lenin/SU itself. Of course arguably Stalin had a strong formative influence on the SU as a regime so it's all a bit complicated. Even so it isn't the same thing as Stalinism.

Carbon dioxide posted:The logos of the municipal office of every municipality in the Netherlands. Fantastic mix of lame corporate looking logos, bomb rear end coats of arms, places that wish they had sweet coats of arms but actually had an intern with a clipart library and the outline of an escutcheon, and the occasional leaping stag or rabbit.
