Did You Know Indian Cuisine Has Been Ranked Among Top 10 In The World?

East or West, India is the best, something we all sing when it comes to a lot of things on the world platform. This time, our food, our cuisine has ranked 9th across 24 countries in a survey! Yes, youread it right, and yes it should have been on top but that is fine, we all have a soft spot for the topper, i.e. pizzas and pasta. No, Italian cuisine is more than that but we Indians are a 'Sucker' forthese two for sure. YouGov did an international study to determine the most popular cuisine in the world. They surveyed 25,000 people across 24 countries.

The survey covered 34 cuisines with the top being Italian, followed by Chinese and Japanese.

We asked 25,000 people in 24 countries how much they liked 34 national cuisines. Here are the top 5:

1. Italian cuisine - average of 84% in each country who have tried it say they like it
2. Chinese - 78%
3. Japanese - 71%
4. Thai - 70%
5. French - 70%

While 99% of Italians love their cuisine, 90% Australians, 93% of the French and 80% of Indians as well love Italian. Our food got the 9th position, right after the Mexican food. Our food culture is mind-boggling and I guess the people on the survey may just know of some staples and cliched dishes like the tikkas, dal makhani and naan and butter chicken maybe!? That is okay, let's go all out and let the world know of the different cuisines each and every region of India has. Take to social media, if you own a restaurant introduce another cuisine, promote our food more... so many things we can do to bring our name on top?!

At the moment Indian food scored 62% on the world survey. To break it down it better, the study revealed that 93% of Indians swear by our food and so do 84% of the British and 74% of Australians. We ranked the lowest for Thailand and China. Their palette is very different from ours.

So, I mentioned above that Italian food is more than pizza and pasta, but do you know what more is there? They have amazing Calzones (is an Italian oven-baked folded pizza that originated in Naples in the 18th century), risotto (a northern Italian rice dish cooked with broth until it reaches a creamy consistency. The broth can be made from meat, fish, or vegetables), Pesce (fish dishes) and meat dishes called Carne.
