I might get roasted for this but in my opinion outside of France and Italy, European cuisine is fairly unremarkable. Even in Spain, where I used to live, it wasn’t particularly impressive especially when compared to Latin American cuisine. So I don’t get why Eastern European cuisine is getting singled out here. And England? I’m an Anglophile to the core. The food is not why I love England.
Well, you could do a similar point for Latin American cuisine, You have Mexican and Peruvian cuisine, the rest lag million of years behind, what is special of Chilean, Paraguayan or even Argentinean cuisine?

You are just as likely to find pasta dishes on an Argentinian restaurant menu as you are grilled meat.

Yes but it is overall quite simple food, nothing extremely elaborated or "Special", Argentinean restaurants are renowned for having "The best quality of red meat" but not the elaboration of the dish or the widest array of different products..
The most Rich and complex cuisine lays around the European Mediterranean areas, the Near East, North Africa and the Middle east

Sometimes the simplest of ingredients make the best food, it doesn't have to be a lot of messing about to be nice, some of the nicest dishes on the planet are very simple to make.
The Eastern European cuisine Americans are most familiar with - even if they don’t recognize it as such - is Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine.
That's why if you're of Central or Eastern European extraction, Jewish delis can be an acceptable substitute if you have no option for your own cuisine near you. It's certainly much closer than what you get at the Italian-American delis.
Russia has a ton of Germanic Influence just like the Baltics. Catherine the Great herself is German. One of the place the Russians looked to in order to become more modernized during the Renaissance, and after was German States like Prussia.
Russian engineering used to be among the best in the world. Because they brought it in from Germany. I'm not sure, but this may have been Catherine's doing, too. After a couple of generations of the Soviet period, I have no idea if they retained the high standards they had before. They did their best to maintain ties with Germany, but after 1917, it was East German engineering, whatever that is.
Sorry, I didn't mean to wander off-topic...
