"南方菜很好吃。"

Translation: Southern food is delicious.

[TalibBaniszsce]

Why writing "cuisine" instead of "food" is not correct?

[RobinThor]

"southern food tastes good" should also be accepted in my opinion

[Kieran-Moore]

So now they don't except the word..cuisine..for food....even though it is used so often in these lessons...??? This course needs a lot of work...

[Sopha_]

like southern china ? or southern U.S. ?

[ChromateX]

Or even the Southern Hemisphere.

[ReubenMild]

If "very delicious" is wrong, then how should that be said?

[StephanusG1]

Just delicious. 'Delicious' already implies very good or very tasty.
Also, as discussed multiple times elsewhere, 很 is usually an adjective marker, not an intensifier (i.e. it doesn't mean 'very'.)

[Jacques439990]

I typed "Southern cuisine is delicious" what's wrong with this answer?? If ever you would answer...

[roman2095]

Yes that looks correct to me. My dictionary gives "cuisine" as a translation of 菜

[JSdK9]

I just didnt know what word they were looking for so I got it wrong. Why not "very good" or "tasty" or "yummy"?

"Southern dish is really delicious"
1. Is it because i can't use dish for菜？, or
2. I can't use "really" unless there's 非常

[roman2095]

You can say "Southern food is delicious" but you can't say "Southern dish is delicious" because the latter is not correct English, so it will not be in Duo's list of correct answers i.e. you can't just replace "food" with "dish" here. Also I suspect the you have put in "really" and Duo has not included that in the list of correct answers - possibly because "really delicious" is 真好吃.
