For Italy it is really hard to answer. Probably the all of you know that in average we are really proud of our food-wine etc... Practically every single municipality has some food specialty (the most of which are practically unknown outside their region), and every recipe has at least one estimator that claims it to be the best in the world.
On youtube there is a whole series of videos about recipes "world vs Italy" (they are really ironic, so don't get offended. There are English subtitles, if you don't see them try to look for them among the video's options)
the video about pizza is funny too, it hasn't subtitles but it is quite clear I think (in particular when they destroy the pineapple pizza as if it was some dangerous explosive remnants of war)
The setting is a restaurant in Bergen, Norway. They say:
Customer: "so, make me understand: you went to Italy, you tried our cuisine and then you decided to open an Italian restaurant in here."
Owner: "yes"
Customer: "and, listen to me, how do you cook these spaghetti?"
Owner: "you take water, you add pasta, you turn on the stove, 30 minutes, and voilà !
Customer: "and think that I made the water boil instead, think about how moron I am!" (*sarcastic*)
Owner: "after this, do you want something else?"
Customer: "yes, a screwdriver and a ladder"
*cut-scene*
Owner: (*worried*) "what is he doing???"
(the girl tries to calm him down)
Customer: "F*uck you! [...] Don't write Italy in vain! You viking! You are a viking!"
Owner: "but what is he doing???"
Girl: "no, Checco, no!"
Talking about me, talking about the whole country I would say pasta too. I know that it is really banal, but after the overcooked pasta I was served as a side dish when in France I seriously start to think that some foreigners have some problem with it (I'm not saying everyone outside Italy can't cook pasta, but some do. On the other hand, even in Italy you can eat really bad pasta).
Montreal makes the best bagels in the world. The variety from NY gets the press because it's a larger, more famous city, but their bagels aren't as good. Montreal style is denser, sweeter, and if you get half a dozen freshly baked out of a traditional wood fired oven I guarantee they won't even make it home, you'll just end up eating them all out of the bag without adornment.
I lolled at the dramatic pinapple meltdown. Over here you can start a quarrel which lasts for 10 years (actually, it has been over 20 now) if it's acceptable to put pineapple in pizza.

No argument here, since it was first created in Canada.
Its not something you cook but i think the Netherlands makes "Cheese" better than any other country.
We also one of the best in making pancakes, i admit our overall cuisine is nothing special but its all edible.
Depends on who you ask. I believe the popular Döner was invented in Istanbul.
