      Also, D even gets the entire bay of Naples, in addition to the cuisines of 3-4 billion people. Anyone who wants anything from A can get anything from there in Oceania.

      D is so OP, I cannot imagine anyone picking anything else unless they are basing their choice on where they live.

        But then that’s food you can eat in Oceania, not food from Oceania. D has a ton of good Asian food, but for traditional Western cuisine you want A or H.

          This gate keeping of cuisine is ridiculous. It would logically follow that you have to throw out anything that’s made with something originally from a different zone. So no potatoes, tomatoes, corn or other new world crops… Well, anywhere but one of these sections. Anything that comes from cultural exchange is, apparently, right out. So good luck with whatever the fuck they were eating in mesopotamia and the Indus river valley civilisation. I hope you like your beer to be bread.

          If it’s been made by people who identify culturally as being “of that zone”, and they self-identify it as part of their culture, then that’s from there. Pretending that the awful colonisation of the entire world by white Europeans just… didn’t happen is insanely naïve.

            then that’s from there

            I mean, that’s not what the word “from” means, otherwise curry would be American food and that aside from not making sense would make the OP a lot less interesting to consider.

      +1 for D

      It’s literally where the world gets most of their spices … the English fought wars for those places and those spices

        To sell them to the world. Never get high on your own supply.
