Australia just too good
bouli77:
it seems pretty logical that the US has the most diversity in food and the widest range of choice, just like in everything else, it's the first world power and its attraction level remains untouched, there's constant immigration there and not only from the poor layers of foreign countries but also from the elite, they're constantly brain draining the rest of the world. also, america is known for their entrepreunarial spirit and as the land of opportunity (even if it seems to shrink, it's still there), so immigrants there are most likely to start businesses that say, in france, where things are at a stall and where it's difficult as hell to open your business (lots of money upfront needed, difficulties to get a loan, prohibitive taxes), these factors foster excellence
america is the elite in most fields. that being said, it doesn't mean that the general, average quality of the food there is top notch. they might have top notch food available in all shapes and sizes, but we're talking about restaurants here. if we're talking about everyday food availables in supermarket etc. they have the less restrictive policies of the industrialized world, with everything that comes with it : GMO, High fructose corn fed syrup, etc.

on a side note, i'm french and I hate foie gras even though I have family who make it, then again i'm not much of a foodie and i'm hard to please, it seems my tastes were formated at an early age and it's pretty difficult for me to snap out of it

All i can say is that in Australia there are Indian and Afghan and Italian and Greek and Asian food places everywhere. Pubs everywhere, etc.
Prolly much like America.
I think i more just heard that alot of American food was really greasy and fatty and covered in sauce and that certain things were horrible. It prolly wasn't that all food was bad there. I most remember being told the bacon was horrible.
Of course i would imagine America to have top class pubs and restaurants and the like.
Actual white Aussies and Aborigines dont have a reputation for good food, but its just the immigration really. My city is rather small and it really is amazing how much good food from all different cultures there is in a small radius.
I think Australian wine is more famous than say Vegemite? lol

On point. Same with universities, medical treatment etc. Their best are the very best, their average is well below European average.

dude you dont like foie gras?
O_O
haha its probably because its so hard to get out here and its considered a bit of a luxury, it was much cheaper in france (although, euros and pounds isn't exchange friendly with US dollars)
30 bucks in vegas for hot foie gras for something smaller than the palm of my hand (and my palm aint big)
but i love it, and vegas is the only place where it is completely legal, although in SF, LA, NYC they have work arounds and sometimes serve it (never had it there, too expensive)
in vegas they use it on burgers and steaks as a topping, but i love it by it self, with some bread or crackers. and that jelly shit.
just melts in my mouth son.
