In: Other

Answer 1

Many countries share common styles of food. In Central and Eastern Europe, it’s much more likely to be regional in a way that covers many countries, or, one country’s cuisine is famous, but in the name of a neighboring country (for example according to Wikipedia Austrian styles vary based on region, but are connected to Italian, Hungarian, etc which are famous in their own rights)
