Since I indirectly started this thread (and I like to eat), I want to add in
another 2 Eurocents. To me it is absolutely irrelevant how many Michelin-starred
restaurant a country has. Anybody with 100+ EUR to spend for dinner can always
find a good restaurant. I judge the cuisine of a country by the quality of the
everyday food. Here countries like Spain, France, Italy, win hands down. The
attention paid to the quality of the basic ingredients is what sets them apart
from Northern Europe and North America. In Seville I can go and have a good meal
for under 10 Euro in modest restaurants that are found everywhere. In the
Netherlands I can have a meal at the local burger trough for that amount...
