Why are so relatively few countries/cultures famous worldwide for their cuisine?

I mean, nobody says “Let’s go out for Austrian” or “Let’s pick up some Botswanan on the way home”

Well it was an Austrian who introduced Viennoiserie to the French. And I am definitely the kind of person who says “let’s go out for Viennoiserie”

Botswanan here, though the correct term for referring to people from Botswana is Motswana (singular) and Batswana (plural).

Our food is great, but there’s less than 3 million of us – so our cultural influence is low, there are South African restaurants littered around a few big cities, and they will serve pretty much Botswanan food. There are more people who are Tswana in South Africa than in Botswana, so the overlap in cuisine is high.

Go try some pap ‘n vleis at your nearest South African restaurant, thank me later.

There’s actually a german cuisine chain called “Wolff’s Biergarten” in New York.
