Four of the Best Cuisines in the World
By John Newcomb

The world has an infinite variety of cuisines to offer. Some may go down with your palate, some might not. It is virtually impossible to sample the food that every region or culture might have to offer. After all, they say that food habits change every 100 miles. But there are a few cuisines you must sample before you die, and the ones in this list would rank among the very best:

1. Italian
Who hasn't tasted Italian cuisine? The world's favorite food, the Pizza, is an Italian staple. Another famous Italian export to the world is Pasta. A hearty, healthy cuisine with plenty of meats, fresh vegetables, Italian cuisine is among the most popular in the world. Indeed, our food palate would be poorer without it.

2. French
The French have a reputation for being connoisseurs of good food. France is traditionally considered the food capital of the world, with the highest number of Michelin ranked restaurants dotting its cities. This cuisine is routinely classified as "high cooking" and features plenty of cheeses, exotic ingredients (such as foie gras and frog legs), and inventive methods of cooking. Accompany French food with a good wine, and you have the prefect pairing for a great evening.

3. Indian
Indian food has exploded in popularity in the past few decades. This ancient cuisine, practised for over 3000 years, has taken in elements from different cultures and modified itself over the years. The North Indian cuisine is especially famous, and features heavy, spicy curries, delicately cooked vegetables, and spicy meats. A very hearty cuisine indeed.

4. Chinese
Chinese cuisine has to be among the world's most popular cuisine. Every city has several Chinese restaurants. It is an easily modified cuisine that can be easily adapted to suit local taste palates. In fact, you will be hard pressed to find authentic Chinese food outside China, so popular and so heavily modified is this cuisine. Chinese food is characterized by sweet, sour and pungent flavors, and feature plenty of chicken, rice, and fresh vegetables that are sparsely cooked.
