German food mapped

You don't need any geo software to produce a map, a cupboard is perfectly enough.
Some time ago I've found in museum of Haus der Geschichte in Bonn this map of German local food specialties. The map is fully interactive, you can open each part to check what is inside. No computer, no programming involved and a nice interactive map was created.

(You can click on the photos to enlarge them, yes the quality is disturbing :))

This map is like a challenge, it would be great to do something similar but for the United States or Russia, but I would need a bigger cupboard.
