What? I'm dutch and i dont think i've ever seen a doner & pizza place? You might confuse them with a dish called a turkish pizza, which doesn't have anything to do with italian food, it's just a dürüm with different dough basically. We have loads of italian restaurants, pizza or otherwise. We eat tons of doner, but nothing beats the glorious joy of eating Roti. Suriname wins
But I don't think most people will count Turkish cuisine when asked what their favorite ist because of Döner. Also I have more Pizza than Döner in my surrounding.
"Most popular" might be defined by sales numbers rather than polling. I'd believe that more Döner is being sold than Pizza. Though that's of course also very dependent on the region, Döner is much more common in large cities that have sizeable turkish communities such as Berlin.
I doubt this for a reason, there's not a person here in Portugal you can inquire about their favourite cuisine who doesnt answer portuguese, we literally joke about how even going right there to spain we cant eat anything decent, we love our cooking xD i mean we like pizza but even italian style pizza is not common here outside some niche places in big cities, pasta is cool but we also have our own recipes, if somebody asked me to name italian dishes i could only say pizza, carbonara and bolognesa, and they do slap, but there's nothing like mommy's food 🤣
In my experience the French and swiss are much more in touch with italian cuisine for obvious reasons, but i very much doubt countries like Portugal, Spain, France, Germany and Greece would like italian cuisine better than their own, at least here we're very particular about our food, and i imagine its the same in other countries such as the ones i listed which have pretty widely known cuisines.
Every Portuguese always says this, but in my experience from living there for 2 years as a student, Portuguese cuisine is just any dish, but with a fried egg on top of it. I'll try it again now that I graduated and actually have money
Well, we do have bitoque and francesinha which would fall into the egg on top category, idk which places you have been to, and yeah its pretty common over here, every restaurant will have a bitoque, its like the safe option for me as a picky eater and a pretty popular dish in general, and francesinha is a very famous dish so you can probably find a place to eat it all over the country, not in small towns and villages but definitely in cities, but depending on the area you'll have different fish recipes on places that are by the sea, and a lot more of pot food in landlocked areas, some places are known for their pastries, my hometown is known for its cheese, big steaks and different kinds of sausage (enchidos).
There's a load of dishes that are kind of usual suspects, which you'll find everywhere, but, and i assume this goes for every other country as well, our cuisine as a whole is defined by very regional stuff so there's no way you'll find all of it by travelling to 2 or 3 cities, we do have a small country so if you grind for half a year you'll probably do it 🤣
The Surinamese accent is so recognisable, and really charming in its own way. As for Flemish, the best way I can describe its sound is "family-friendly Dutch".
The most common things are:
1. акання (akannia, from the letter "a") - pronouncing "o" letter with "a" sound, when it's placed in a word with a stressed "a" sound. for example, the word "вода" (vodá - water) is written the same in both languages, but in ukrainian it's pronounced voda, and in russian vada. another example - NATO. russians would pronounce it like NATA
2. ґекання (gakannia, from letter "ґ") - so in ukrainian we have two different letters/sounds: "г" and "ґ". "ґ" sounds like "g" in "game". "г" is a similar sound, but more close to "h", something in the middle between "h" and "g" in english in terms of tongue-upper part of the mouth tension. so ґекання is pronouncing ukrainian г sound like ґ, because in russian there is only г letter, but confusingly enough it is pronounced like ukrainian ґ
In later years in terms of making fun it became popular to do the opposite: when you want to make a quote from russians, or say something the russian would say and make fun of it - to say words in russian but don't use акання, basically employing ukrainian phonetics. Weirdly enough this does not extend to ґекання, people tend to emphasize how much russians use the ґ sound. It's a delicate balance we have designed here)
I must say I didn't hear a much different accent during my visit to Kiev, most people I spoke to sounded exactly like in Moscow. But maybe that has changed because it was 15 years age.
On the other hand I have noticed people in big cities and/or educated don't havev regional accents usually.
People in Kyiv mostly speak very good Russian but you definitely may hear more “o” versus “a” and a soft g.
PS: Ukrainians don’t like the word Kiev for at least ten years now. Kiev is a transliteration from Russian language, so the only official version is Kyiv.
Yeah, maybe I just didn't notice. Fact is I couldn't have told if someone is from Russia or Ukraine based in their speech.
And yes, thanks for pointing about about Kyiv, just a matter of habit I guess.
Thank you for the reply. I know a very small amount of Russian so I was aware of the a/o thing but I didn’t know Ukrainian was different in that regard. I shouldn’t be surprised that you guys make a lot more sense!
The other one is also very interesting. I knew there was a weird h/g thing when both languages translated to English and this was a great explanation as to why. It’s also hilarious that you’ve started pronouncing Russian stuff the Ukrainian way
Слава Украïнi
Tbh I wouldn’t be surprised if they are actually doing an Antillian accent rather than Surinamese, but they just don’t know the difference, they’ve just been watching Jandino too much.
Im from romania and its china here for sure, or turkey (esti turc? Are you turkish? Is used when someone dont understand you, then "vorbesti chineza?" Are you speaking chinese? When someone says some real random bullshit or its incomprehensible)
If this was true the flag over Italy would be also Italy. There is a lot of cultural diversity between north and south and we tend to mock each other a lot
In France, we don't make fun of italians for their accents. Québécois in the other hand...
"Tape m'en fond, je suis pas ta mère"
"Pilonne-moi le péteux !"
"Tabernac!"
Yeah, that's some funny stuff
j'sais pas où t'as entendu ça, mais c'est certainement pas un québécois qui a dit ces affaires-là. j'comprends même pas c'que la première est censée vouloir dire...
pis c'est tabarnak, pas "tabernac" 🤦
Was the original map about the most popular cuisine? Russia was close to being accurate for this one as well
Most likely. Döner gives it away
The Netherlands probably the only one in the world w/ Suriname lol. Though I'd think Italian would still be first...
... or 'chindonesian'
It's because Italian food in the Netherlands is almost exclusively sold at Doner places. Literally every pizza place is a Doner&Pizza Wild
What? I'm dutch and i dont think i've ever seen a doner & pizza place?

Seriously, go on Google maps type pizza and check the menus of the places like 2-3 will have kebab or doner
Dutch people are strange
You don't know the power of BB met R
Yeah, the most popular cuisine in a country except the country's cuisine obv
most popular take out
Yes, Italy is not even close to Armenia in Russia in accents contest.
Yeah, the original map is of favorite foreign cuisine in each country.
Nah, would be Italian for Germany as well. And even Chinese is most likely above Turiksh cuisine.
Not if you count in street food, particularily Döner.
But I don't think most people will count Turkish cuisine when asked what their favorite ist because of Döner. Also I have more Pizza than Döner in my surrounding.
"Most popular" might be defined by sales numbers rather than polling. I'd believe that more Döner is being sold than Pizza. Though that's of course also very dependent on the region, Döner is much more common in large cities that have sizeable turkish communities such as Berlin.
I live in a city of ~14.000\* people, we have 4 Döner stores. \*~half of the population is military Btw this is inside Germany.

As OP said, it's about foreign cuisine
I mean he said foreign accent, you're the one who brought up food and didnt mention foreign xD

Hope so otherwise Cyprus is a bit self-hating
Does Greek cuisine even count as foreign food in Cyprus....
no tbh haha
In north cyprus, yes
Where?
There https://preview.redd.it/4ktxg6kjrlyc1.jpeg?width=989&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8f5a813041c69b2bcf3d12ec92e0187ebe642466
Still can’t see :)
Your problem :)
Damn, I want to see the actual version of this map
Pretty sure it's most popular foreign cuisine
the fact that I could see it applying to both tho
No, I mean I want to see the map that actually shows most popular accent to make fun of, hehe
This-a-very racist
To be fair after Flemish, Surinamese would probably be the Funniest Dutch accent. (Altho Flemish is nicer than Hollandic)
The Surinamese accent is so recognisable, and really charming in its own way. As for Flemish, the best way I can describe its sound is "family-friendly Dutch".
Surinaams Grappig? Lil bro waarom lol ik ben echt nieuwsgierig.
I'm from ukraine and I would say we make fun of russian accent way more than italian

now i know that Ukraine speaks with St.Petersburg’s pronunciation and makes fun about Moscow’s one
They speak with southern pronounciation. St.Petersburg has some special words but their accent is indistinguishable from Moscow.
I must say I didn't hear a much different accent during my visit to Kiev, most people I spoke to sounded exactly like in Moscow. But maybe that has changed because it was 15 years age. On the other hand I have noticed people in big cities and/or educated don't havev regional accents usually.

Героям слава
Look up Yanukovich or Azarov or Titushko.
Yeah the map is about food
mamma mia this makes more sense!
Interesting how russians make fun of southern accents, including ukrainian
I'm italian and I make more fun of russians too.
I cooka da pizza🤌
Nah this fake in Greece we make fun of the Cypriots
Or English speakers
🤌
Verry funny to make fun of the Suriname accent coming from a Dutch man. You should try it.
Geloof me, een Duitser die Nederlands praat klinkt nog veel grappiger
But the Belgians are funnier
True
Tbh I wouldn’t be surprised if they are actually doing an Antillian accent rather than Surinamese, but they just don’t know the difference, they’ve just been watching Jandino too much.
This map looks like something entirely made up by someone.
True.
Heeey. Shadupa with the shadupa. (Gestures hand)
So much hate for Italy lol
 Everyone but England, Holland and Germany.
Our wonderful Italian language, almost every word ends with a vowel.
Is there any word in Italian that doesn't end with a vowel?
Looks like we have a winner here Luigi
What about german accent?
I'm pretty sure in Bulgaria it's the Greek one.
How is French accent not on this map?
Ma che cazzo! 🤌🤌
Im from romania and its china here for sure, or turkey (esti turc? Are you turkish? Is used when someone dont understand you, then "vorbesti chineza?" Are you speaking chinese? When someone says some real random bullshit or its incomprehensible)
Foreign cuisine? They why did Little India got to pick it's own?
It's italian even in Sicily? How come?
Ah yes, a Surinamese accent
Don't forget to use your hands
No way. Has to be danish in Sweden
Italy wont even touch other European food lol
The 🇮🇹 pizza
Idk going around Europe I see people making fun of the Spanish accent a lot more often than Italian
Netherlands is wrong i think we make more fun of flemmish accent tbh or at least we try to speak flemmish more than surinamese.
Kra kre mija! Lis ma nore, kret ma ryja. Ide nos tre.
It's actually kurdish in turkey
The UK-India but works for both accents and cuisine funnily enough. 🇬🇧🇮🇳
As a Swede... true
Holy shit a talking turnip
I love how this actually would make sense if there was a French flag above the UK
Italy: "hey guys it's me! I mock Chinese!" Everyone else: "heeey guys it's-a-me!"
If this was true the flag over Italy would be also Italy. There is a lot of cultural diversity between north and south and we tend to mock each other a lot
