UNESCO has listed 和食 (Japanese cuisine) as one of the world’s integeral cultural treasures.
Some countries have one or two of their national dishes listed as such … but the list of countries whose entire cuisine is listed is very short!
Along with Japan, I believe there is only France, Mexico, Italy and Turkey.
I love Japanese, Mexican and Italian food best!
I think Louisiana Cajun food should be on that list and I realize it’s just a state but it’s like it’s own Country, trust me. dem folks do tangs a bit diff’rent down der cha.

Maybe Cajun and / or Creole food is on the list.
Some countries’ have a dish or two listed as cultural heritages. Not many, though, have their entire cuisine listed.
