I agree that we cannot compare Northern Europe to the Mediterranean, but take Copenhagen for example. Same (and even worse) logistics to get good produce, but you can find acceptable food both in grocery stores, and a quality restaurant culture for the average restaurant. And it's not like the Danish had a cuisine traditionally, all they ate was pork and potatoes due to the geography.
