Wouldn’t that just be beef, carrots, spinach. Not sure which essential vitamin or protein is missing there.
I have made some executive decisions to get this moving.
Out: Vietnamese, Thai, Persian (Too broad)
Out: Fruit, Vegetables, Salads, Potatoes. (Too broad and often ingredients in other dishes)
Out: Lamb (Too many different dishes, lamb roasts are included in roasts)
Replaced: Chinese → Chinese Chicken (this includes Sesame, Orange Chicken and similar)
Replaced: Indian → Indian Curries
The rest I have divided into 7 categories. Items in the same category will be placed in different divisions. To put it another way each division will have exactly one item from each category.
There are still five food items standing for category 8.
Pick which one should be ELIMINATED:
- Cereals
- Cheese
- Chili
- Peking Duck
- Ramen

I’ll start with building the brackets.
War with Iran has begun in this thread with the removal of Persian food!

Lol Peking duck who tf eats that much peking duck? That’s like the only extremely specific item on the whole list, everything else is basically a category. Other than that this looks pretty good.
WTF? You put cheese and BBQ up against each other? I can’t choose between that l those 2.
Ice
Cream
Sandwiches

sushi vs candy is like the person you want to be vs the person you know you really are.
At the same time Cereals were leading in the poll above. Now it‘s Peking Duck. If it stays this way cereals will be substituted in.
Change the wording from “can’t eat for the rest of your life” to “have to eat every day” and I’d snap pick bagels.
Should clarify what you mean by Cereals; Captain Crunch etc or Rice, Oats, Quinoa etc or both.
What the heck is Chinese chicken?
It’s almost like we should run mini qualifying tournaments to narrow these categories down and take the top couple of “winners” for the big tournament
Then the ethnic foods can get their due consideration. Lumping tacos and burritos is almost like a supergroup, for example.
This is a lot more work tho so I get if the preferred route is capricious and arbitrary.

This is what I was thinking and then I got overwhelmed even trying to formulate how it would work

Think big. Commit to 32 tournaments, then run a champion of champions tournament.
