For many people of different nationalities, food is a point of national pride. It doesn't matter what anybody else thinks about it (until they trash it to our face, of course). So many of us are so invested in our local cuisines that that the argument of which ones are the best is something of a common occurrence. 

However, a discussion that happens less often is one that shies away from the extremes. It's easy to think about types of food we really don't like, and those that we think are works of genius, but what about the world cuisines that lie solidly in the middle of our rankings? 

Those of us with seasoned tastebuds probably have many examples of food that we think is just OK, and some of them have been exposed in a recent Twitter thread. There are quite a few nationalities that don't seem to produce strong reactions to their food, and maybe that's fine.

    Font - Nathan Brown @Nate BrownNews Follow Replying to @PopulismUpdates My first thought was Germany but the beer and sausage alone probably should put them in a higher tier even if a lot of the other stuff is average. Probably another country in that general area though.

    Font - Ben @benthomas1707-3d Replying to @PopulismUpdates The UK. On top of stuff like beef Wellington and proper fish and chips, we have British takes on imports like tikka masala or balti. But we're definitely not great cuisine either

    Font - Patrick Schoettmer @PSchoettmer Follow Replying to @PopulismUpdates The USA. American cuisine is mostly just a "greatest hits" of other cuisines with an American spin. Our food is literally just an averaging of food from everywhere else in the world with more corn syrup in it.

    Font - kade anderson @Anderson KadeB Follow Replying to @PopulismUpdates Central Europe as a whole would have been on this list for sure but the successive waves of middle eastern immigrants since the 60's has really spiced their cuisine waaaay up. Getting a 5am Döner from a hole in the wall in Berlin after clubbing all night is *chefs kiss*

    Font - phloebotome @localphoebe_ess Follow Replying to @PopulismUpdates Argentina. Good meats but a shortage of genuinely good veggies dishes. There's some regional variety, but if we're going with what's thought of as the Argentine heartland, it's serviceable, but mid.
