  1. Go and have some fries and waffle in the corner mate. You’re not playing

  2. If you can’t have a France-Italy final in a food competition, what’s even the point ?

  3. I see Belgium, Switzerland and Austria got in as the best thirds by goal differential somehow

  4. the fuck is swiss food? Like what do they eat other than chocolate? Watches, rocks from their mountains, Nazi gold?

  5. Can you just not pit us against italy for the first round? Agains the swiss or belgian we could have won.

  6. I appreciate us taking part in this competition not because our cuisine is good, but because you were running out of possible participants.

  7. Round 1: Italy, France, Greece, Portugal

    Semi-finals: Italy, Portugal

    Finals: I’m sorry, Italy

  8. Love how this has Austria in it, but Germany is apparently in the “food bad” category, even though Bavarian food is almost similiar to Austrian food, due to cultural similarities.

    God I hate being lumped in with germany, Bayerisch-Österreichische Alpenrepublik wann?

  9. Spain and Italy go to the finals and Italy wins because it is more popular, but we are top dog.

  10. Sorry but comparing Portuguese and Spanish food is like comparing soccer and football

  11. Clearly the semifinals are italy v france, spain v greece. And the magnificent final, spain v italy.

    I honestly wouldn’t be able to pick between spanish and italian food. I know I’m biased but you gotta admit that pizza and pasta vs paella and tapas kinda feels that italy has a repetitive game and that spain would take the lead, but the winner will come down to deserts and italy will win thanks to tiramisu.

  12. It’s looking like an Italian vs Greek square off in the final lads, and much like the annuals of Roman-Greco history this could be a Second Pyrrhic War.

  13. Italy vs. Austria is an easy one. Italy wins a hundred times. Combining them is even better, though.

  14. *Quarter finals:*

    **Italy** – Austria: Get outta here Austria! Have fun with your Vegemite and kangaroo steaks, but piss off. Italy wins.

    **France** – Belgium: I love you Belgium, I love your beer, your cuisine is what our cuisine could’ve been without calvinism, so it’s extra painful. But come on, it’s France. The OG national cuisine.

    **Greece** – Switzerland: Doucing random stuff in cheese is not a cuisine, Switzerland. Greece wins easily.

    Portugal – **Spain**: Ooff… Both have great dishes. Both have great affordable wine. On account of familiarity, it’s going to be Spain. But maybe it’ll change after I’ve visited Portugal.

    *Semi finals:*

    Italy – **France**: Should’ve been the final. Couldn’t live without either. But Italian cuisine taught me how to cook those Italian dishes, and French cuisine taught me how to elevate any dish. Also, I had a boeuf bourguignon in Beaune that was so good, it almost made me cry.

    **Greece** – Spain: Also extremely tough. Spain has greater range and better wine (although Greek Nemea is grossly underrated). But if you put the best dishes toe to toe, Greece is going to win for me.

    *Final*

    **France** – Greece: I’m sorry Greece, you would’ve won if only olives, grilled meat and fresh seafood dishes were allowed. But France does it all on a world class level: butter and olive oil, stews, sauces, wines, cider, pattiserie, bread, summer and winter food.

  15. BELGIË 🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪
