Taste atlas, is a Croatian company who seems to believe they are using experts of gastronomy and cultures to rate “countries”.The first thing is, it is really hard to rate gastronomy / culture as it is pretty subjective do I would argue that some cultures do not equal others, but the thing is, those so-called experts are professionals are never cited, the only ones who would be able to rate cuisine would be actual renowned chefs but then again it is subjective, a French chef will say it’s the best because he is French and there is some pride and bias in reviewing foods or wines cheeses etc. Though some chefs like Gordon Ramsay would say, for instance that Greek cuisine is better than Italian cuisine. I don’t think he’s biased, and he has cooked a lot of Italian food as well. So I would assume that these “rankings” are basically based on popularity? But it is like asking people where they prefer to eat. Most people would say McDonald’s or Italian food because it’s more popular due to the American influence and has nothing to do with quality or actual truth (again pretty hard to determine on food). So what are those drinking and how can we actually find a middle ground to determine : What is quality? I would say labels like AOC would be a good start, if we look at this then France would take the top of the list, but then it would be unfair to undermine Switzerland as a great country for cheese or The UK which has some hidden gems. This site does not provide its sources and seems to be an attempt at attacking some countries or some cultures they prefer or despise, when you see that the US Is the 4th best gastronomy in the world in this ranking, above France, India, Japan,… It’s quite laughable
