Greece is ranked way too motherfucking high if it's on any lists at all.

Greek is the McDonald's plain $1.75 hamburger of international cuisine.

@Vecr why Denmark?
@Fatniggo1488 why Mongolia?

I think you're both correct, but I would like to hear your reasoning.

Thanks.

Fuck off Gayreeks are good. I could kill for some μελεκούνι and Turkish tea.

I'm getting the feeling that you have only eaten the worst of these cuisines.
American barbecue is the pinnacle of meat cookery; turning tough and inedible cuts into perfection through the application of time, spice, and smoke.
Mexican cuisine is fantastically diverse, ranging from the fresh, bright flavours of Baja fish tacos, or the shrimp cocktails of Jalisco to the dark and earthy Moles from Oaxaca. The healing properties of Menudo after a night of tequila can't be overstated.
Indian (in my experience) is more of a one trick pony, but there are still many amazing curries, along with incredible breads. Their use of dairy (lassi, raita, paneer) is excellent, and tandoor cooking is generally spectacular.

Cheap/crappy US, Mexican, and Indian is genuinely awful, but the worst of all cuisines is literally the worst.
There's nothing good about cheap Chinese, just like I wouldn't judge the USA by McDonald's.

I'll be extremely predictable and confidently say that no cuisine has impressed me more than well-executed classic French cuisine. I've had cassoulet that's made me want to cry and embarrassingly felt like a quasi-religious experience, and I make a boeuf bourguignon taught to me by my dad and grandmother that has impressed everyone I've ever met to the point where it's the first thing I cook for any guest.
I also really like-
Thai.
Georgian.
Sichuan, especially Husband and Wife Lung Slice.
Korean.
Greek.
Ethiopian.
Russian/Ukrainian.
Polish, also Slovak, a lot of the latter four cuisines I mentioned share many dishes and ingredients but have takes on them that are just different enough for me to list them separately.
Cajun food.
 
It's tough for me to Rank them so a lot of countries will have to share spots. Countries below are either the ones I visited or I am confident that I had something that is at least very close to what people actually eat there.
1. France, Greece, Italy, Spain
2. Argentina, Croatia, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, Turkey, Vietnam
3. Brazil, Colombia, Georgia, Hungary, Indonesia, Iran, Lebanon, Southern India, Thailand
4. China's Sichuan Region, United States, Northern China

5. Big gap

7. Austria, Canada, Czechia, Denmark, Germany, Ukraine
8. Bengal, Ireland, England, Philippines, Russia, Scotland, South Africa

Netherlands is the only country I have been to so far where finding good food outside of fine dining was a considerable challenge. Food culture (including home cooking) is pretty much non-existent, people eat to survive, and have low standards. Effort to make food enjoyable is usually reserved for fine dining and for sweets. Dairy products and sweets is what saves the Dutch cuisine for me.
 
God Tier:

Japan (like a 1/3rd of their scientific discoveries/inventions were in relation to the culinary arts, those guys are almost autistically precise about their food)
Italy (only bad thing is that after having pizza in Italy, it's virtually impossible to enjoy it anywhere else ever again)
Turkey (best meat dishes on the planet IMO and their sweets are solid too)

OK Tier:

France (like 50% of their cuisine is great while the other 50% is absolute dogshit)
Czechia (their sweet dishes are quite nice)
Mexico (they have an eye for good flavor combinations but their spicy stuff is...eh)
Greece (satisfying except that most Greek food I enjoy is basically stuff they copied from Turks while actual authentic Greek food is kinda hit and miss so...)

Poisonous Crap Tier:

China (I think Peking duck might be the only Chinese dish I've ever had that didn't make me feel sick afterwards)
India (they drown their shit in so much spice that it's impossible to discern any unique flavors and everything might as well taste the same)

Im adding El Salvador to this list. I havnt actually been there but I discovered a great local place near me and I have become obsessed with Pupusas. Its left such a good impression on me that I have added the country to my list of destinations.
