I have to apologize for voting Germany over the non-white countries, but I'm like 75% German-American, almost of my ancestry (about 300-400 direct ancestors) goes back to Germany within 250 years (and my two main ancestral lines got to America from Germany in the mid 1800s.

I would vote Greece if Germany wasn't on the list. Or Guyana.

Why should you have to apologize?

Because I really would vote for the non-Western European countries, if one wasn't where many of my ancestors are from. I'm a bit sick of mostly Western European and Commonwealth countries winning.

Can you come with a argument, why Ghana, Greece or any on the long list of "G" countries should win over Germany? Can you come with a honest argument why Fiji should win over France and Finland. At most I can see the problem with Estonia winning. But again it was a country which is above all the other countries on all parameters (with exception of good summers, biodiversity and cuisine) to all the other "E" countries.

Yes it is, of course I also think German food is excellent and a lot more diverse than Greek food. Through if we should select after food Croatia would have won among the "C" countries.

Ethiopia's history and cuisine far surpass that of Estonia's.  I mean, I like plucky little Estonia but that result was a travesty.

I'd also argue that Argentina should have won for the As– its legacy as a New World immigrant haven is really only second to the USA, and Borges is simply the best–  but Argentina is TBF a pretty white country as well.

Anyway, as for this round, Lief has the right of it. Taramasalata is delicious.
