I'm glad that the US is on top. I don't get why deep frying is so looked down upon. It provides flavor. I like lots of flavor in my food, and I find that the US offers a diverse array of flavors that other countries neglect to explore. We also aren't afraid to make reasonably unflavorful things (i.e. hamburgers) into a whole eating experience (like with toppings). It seems to me that that's why we don't really have any exclusive delicassies. We were built on immigrants from all over, and that reflects our diverse tastes in food.

*edit*

As far as regional delicassies go, I enjoy Britain's praun cocktail, squash (the drink, kicks Tang's ass), and truffles (although I didn't care too much for jellied eel). I also like Italian and Mexican food (although I have never had Italian food prepared by Italian people, there is a great Mexican place in town called Pericos that is actually owned and operated by Spanish-speaking Mexicans. It is awesome)
