If that's the case, start with a question, not an outrageous statement.
The latter ends up sounding more like a gambit to get others to do
your homework for you. Also, google and the public library are better
places for that sort of information. Usenet is a great place for
meeting people and getting their opinions. For fact, you need a better
source. Afterall, any of us here might be biased, crazy or stupid. We
might assert something, and it might not be true.


In order to answer the question about cuisines that are clearly more
preferred by gourmets around the world, you'd need a clear definition of
gourmet. Otherwise the logic gets circular: Gourmets around the world
prefer French cuisine. Therefore French cuisine is the best. How do we
know those folks are gourmets? Because they like French cuisine!
Unsophisticated palates prefer Gambian cuisine which we know is inferior
because unsophisticated palates prefer it. See what I mean?
