>>17274042Define 'bad'
Food definitely says great many things about your culture. A culture that values efficiency and is pragmatic might not that have the most tastiest foods, but that doesn't mean the culture is bad, especially if the culture comes from the people within that culture itself and on their own volition.
Though maybe it's better that people who look at things through that lens never leave their own culture and stay there.
Another, I'd say even more defining part of a culture, is the language.
