I think they did a really great job, although I am not sure what dragonfruit and starfruit have to do with China - I associate those more with Southeast Asia. If it was me, I would have used sichuan peppers for the red background and for the stars, maybe tofu, bamboo, or a fried wonton skin cut in the appropriate shapes.
I was trying to come up with other flags. For the Irish flag, I think potatoes could represent the white, Irish cheddar for the orange, and cabbage for the green. Representing the Russian flag, perhaps borscht for the red and sour cream or blinys for the white, but I am not sure about the blue part of the flag. The flag of Germany - maybe beer for the yellow, sausages or cold cuts for the red, and dark sausages, dark bread, or dark beer for the black. Poland could be kielbasa and potatoes (red and white.)
This is fun! What would you suggest for more flags?

Well, I think the Israeli flag would be fun to do. I would use latkes (traditional fried potato pancakes) for the white background, but I admit I don't know of any blue foods associated with Israel to finish out the stripes and star of David for the flag. Suggestions, anyone?
I love this! Morocco could be harira with mint leaves as the star. :)
For Ireland, I can't help but envision boiled cabbage, boiled potatoes, and boiled carrots.
Teacherteacher - I think egglplant would work!
That's China for you: so enormous, almost anything would work. Southern China basically is Southeast Asia. We were a little surprised, but there are papaya trees, dragonfruit, starfruit, mangoes... all kinds of things in the southern provinces.
Though I agree, this is a southern-China-centric flag.
That's not the Chinese flag! It's the Vietnam flag so it's totally on the money.
Oh no wait, I see the China Flag now...nevermind.
Oddly enough, the one that's least similar is Australia. Although the pastie is the perfect choice of food.
I love the India one! Just freaking awesome.
the American flag should have stripes of hot dogs and french fries.
The blue corner would have 50 different corporate logos for all the megabusiness foods we eat...
Oh, I LOVE rambutans and though I associate them with Malaysia I suppose Vietnam makes as much sense. I have only ever seen them once in the states, though. mmm.
the american flag should be made of velveeta. the worst cheese on the planet and commonly known as american cheese. i think they call it cheese food to try and convince ppl that it is actually food.
For Canada: background of snow, pour maple syrup on to produce outline of a maple leaf (an old fashioned method of making maple candy), and fill the leaf with Red River variety Raspberries. (Saskatoons would be a better suited fruit, being specific to the Canadian prairies, but they are blue, unfortunately.)
Man. I really want to eat Greece's flag, now.
(As well as our own - I'm Australian. Meat pies, yum!)
Nobody attempted a South Africa flag? Now that could be a fun/tasty one. :)

I'm going to suggest a non-putdown but still typical American one...blue lobsters (or crayfish) in the upper corner, red apple slices and white corn for the stripes.
For Mexico, they should do a tricolor of cilantro, cebolla blanca or queso (fresco o monterrey) and chiles. Then use frijoles and patas de pollo for the eagle, a gusano de tequila for the snake, nopales and tunas for the cactus (probably the only part of any of the flags in which that which is depicted on the flag is a common food in that nation!), a bit of tortilla for the island, azul añil for the lake, and some sprigs of oregano or some other herb for the bottom trim of the coat of arms. I've lived in Mexico for 3.5 years, and have eaten all the above except the gusano and azul añil.
The Polish flag could also be done with shredded beets and potatoes.
A Palestinian flag would have black olives for the first stripe, Sheep cheese for the middle stripe, Tabbouleh for the bottom green stripe, and the red triangle on the left side would be pandora (stewed tomatoes) :D
