Nation Flags Made From That Country’s Most Iconic Cuisine

Flags of the world are fascinating. The history, the design, the colors, the associations.

But rarely do flags tell more of a national story than these food-infographic-flag pieces.

Created by ad agency WHYBIN\TBWA for the Sydney International Food Festival way back in 2015, they are wonderfully simple yet informative and delicious looking.

    I’m from Virginia and the way to eat a hot dog is with ketchup, mustard, onions, and relish. Hot dogs are all-American and that is a neat flag!

    We would too! The series had less than 20 flags. It would be a lot of work to do all 200-some countries.
