About 35,000 people have voted West Sumatra’s rendang as the number one
food in the world. Guess which food came in second? Nasi goreng!
Satay, another staple Indonesian dish, also stood proud at No. 14.
In
July, CNNGo came out with its own “World’s 50 Most Delicious Foods.” In
that list, Thailand’s Massaman curry topped the culinary hierarchy,
followed by Italy’s Neapolitan pizza and Mexico’s chocolate.
That
list apparently incited “impassionate debate” about the site’s
selection, so CNNGo let its readers vote what they thought should be the
numero uno food. The vote, which began two months ago, was done through
a Facebook poll.
