[quote=Anonymous]I prefer Spanish and Italian cuisine to French, considering "neighboring countries." This is perhaps beyond the scope of this discussion, but much of our perception of the "prestige" of a cultural cuisine is tied to how much of it is available in the US (how many recent immigrants have come to the US from that region). So French and Japanese cuisines are traditionally considered prestige cuisines, with restaurants able to charge higher prices, while Italian and Chinese food are not considered prestigious, because of the large amounts of Italian and Chinese immigration to the US. But, it is also tied to prejudice against certain cultures (racism?). https://www.wnyc.org/story/hierarchy-taste-why-some-cuisines-are-more-expensive-others/[/quote]
