do you think that there is a correlation between the standard of a country's art and that of its food?

I am thinking of art sensu stricto -- paintings and sculpture -- but feel free to extend it.

Italy for example - brilliant art, brilliant food.

France - good art and food.

UK - fair to middling both

Russia - poor in both depts

I don't really want to start the "This country's art is BETTER than this other country's art" game.

Also - Russia = shit art? Huh?

i would say so yes, although it is v difficult to gauge it since so much of its art was linked with propaganda for the majority of C20th.

When was the last time Italy was producing lots of great art though?
