Or even South American?

I see five great cuisines:

French
Italian
Chinese
Thai
Indian

Even those break down by regions, but they are bodies of knowledge
that work from principles and have influenced other cultures/nations
to adopt these principles.

This is a broad statement, but I think a bit more easily workeable
than the Seven Seas approach above.

It is of course open to debate.
