CNN have rereleased a list of the world’s 50 best foods chosen by their readers and some of the inclusions might surprise you.
Goi cuon (spring roll).
CNN
themselves note the lack of French dishes to make their list, which was
compiled by over 35,00 votes from food lovers back in 2011. The companys say it
was recently reformatted and republished for 2017.
Asia
smashes the list with the top 10 dishes all coming from across the continent.
Number
one on the list? In 10 guesses you would never get it, with beef Rendang from
Indonesia taking the top spot. In fact, Indonesia came in strong, also taking
second position with Nasi goreng.
Less
surprisingly, Sushi came in third on the list. The Italians might not be too
happy with number 47, however.
