Well, that's a good question!
This could quickly escalate into heated political debates so I'm going to state my policies now:
- I am using Britannica.com's list of countries, the March 2019 update. This does not necessarily reflect my political views; it is the first Google result for "list of countries".
- I have separated England, Wales, Scotland and N. Ireland purely for deliciousness reasons.
- I believe this gives me 199 countries and therefore 199 dishes to research and cook...this is going to take a while!
- I reserve the right to add autonomous territories, historical regions or de jure sovereign states if I decide I might have a passion for the cuisine of Greenland, Tibet or Palestine.
If I don't manage to cook anything tasty, at least I'm going to gain some great pub quiz facts!
