European Cuisines

The culinary traditions of Europe, from the British Isles through Western, Central, Southern and Eastern Europe. Belongs here: British Cuisine, French Cuisine, German Cuisine, Greek Cuisine, Hungarian Cuisine, Italian Cuisine, Russian Cuisine, Spanish Cuisine. Does not belong here: a cuisine of the Caucasus or Western Asia, such as Georgian Cuisine, placed instead in the Middle Eastern and South Asian group under this wave's UN M49 reading; a successor could revisit that call.
