In order: D, F/G, E, C, A, B & H.
A has France and nothing else; B, part of Italy; C, Georgia & southern Italy; H, sod all; F & G, Latin America & south of Spain, and E's got Ethiopia, Yemen and peri-peri chicken. So D is far and away the winner.

It was only a matter of time till these knuckle draggers needed to physically demarcate the front lines of the culture war.
