Ever wondered which are the best cuisines in the world. Must have put of the question by saying that 'I have not tasted all the world cuisines'. But that does not matter, the top cuisines in the world are also the most popular foods in the world. They do not comprise of some exotic rare dishes you are not likely to come across.

The Top 5 Cuisines Of The World:

1. French Cuisine: Due to the wide variety of dishes available on the French table this has been rated the best cuisine in the world. The amount of variety they have in each and every type of food is mind boggling. It is said that every tiny town in France produces a special type of cheese that goes with a particular kind of wine. So they have more than 100 varieties of cheese and the most exclusive wines in the world. It is also a very healthy cuisine; look at the slender french women for proof, just as good as the french croissants!

2. Indian Cuisine: We have pushed our way through in this list by the sheer magnitude of your volume! Indian cuisine can be called the best cuisine of the world because of the panorama of flavours it offers. Imagine how different Kashmiri Dabba Gosht is from Kerala's Appams. How much variety exists between Bengoli Macher Jhol and Goan Prawns curry. Due to the size and diversity of this country if has tremendous riches of food to offer. But beware of the strong spices that caress your taste buds but burn your tongue!

3. Chinese Cuisine: Probably the most favourite food in the world! Where ever you go China has managed to export its flavours successfully. So much so that we use soy sauce and Chinese grass as a part of our common kitchen ingredients. Truly deserves to be top cuisine in the world by virtue of its reach around the world. You ask a tribal and even he has tasted Chinese food!

4. Italian Cuisine: This is a cuisine for the up market folks but the new age global citizens are affiliating to it. The flavours of Italian food with all the numerous sauces is decidedly delicate. The extensive use of olive oil makes it very healthy if you discount their most popular fast food, pizzas that they have given to the world. Be it risottos or bistros they have been cooked carefully and eaten leisurely because it stands at number four on the world's best cuisines list for its delicacy.

5. Mexican Cuisine: Food for fun not thought. Like their music, their food is zippy and zingy. Dash of bold spices, tomatoes and potatoes in large proportions and an air of casualness is what makes it one of the must have food of the world.

So as you can see, the best cuisines of the world are foods that we all have probably tasted at some time and would like to again.
