Okay, we sort of know which countries have the best food. Nations like Italy, China, and Japan. But here is an unusual question: Which country has the worst food and why?
Until recently I would say that the British Isles has the worst food. Boiled and overcooked is NOT the way to prepare most food since it cooks the flavor right out of it. However, in recent years food has reportedly improved in that part of the world.
So which country NOW has the WORST food in the world? And please give reasons for this if possible.
I always thought I would try anything once. I even ate chitlins once. But one look at balut and I said “I’m not putting that in my mouth.”
Mike Meyers said in a movie that all food in Scotland is based on a dare. Sounds like you lost!
Yum!
Now, this is the best they've got. You need to try out a Korean smorgasbord to sample everything. You'll love it -- this is why Koreans never get fat and always have nice white teeth.
I'm OK with Schweinemedallion and spaetzle. And an Aecht Schlenkerla rauchbier to wash it down with.
Thanks. None down my way I think. Will have to do a search.
Restaurant food?
In Spain, they don’t cook food properly, and then they let flies land on much of it for a few days before serving.
In Dominica. Everything is washed in their dirty water. All you can eat before you spend 2 days in your room.
Food safety comes first for me. But then I won’t eat restaurant food anywhere, if I don’t have to.
One night we left and went to the pub for a mince (burger). Still got to play Muirfield, which was why we were there in the first place.
If you have never tried it, sign up for a Caribbean cruise in January. It is mercifully mild weather, the sea has so many shades of turquoise I have never seen anywhere else, the scenery changes every day, and the main even on a cruise ship is fine dining. They offer you 4 main entrees and 4 dessert choices with every meal and never see the same item twice during a 7 day cruise. And if you do not like any of the entrees, you can always order the basic broiled steak or chicken breast.
Someone was dissing Fish and Chips. They should try beer battered walleye or any type of walleye.
“But one look at balut and I said “I’m not putting that in my mouth.”
I understand; I haven’t been shopping for it myself since I tried it.
Been there, done that. You're sooooooo right!
There might be some on the Parkway or Turnpike; I believe one of them has Nathan’s in their rest stops.
I've been doing that for over 40 years. You should see the kids fight over the crisp pieces of turkey flavored bacon.
I will differ with those that say the worst food is in the UK. Maybe Ireland or Wales, but not England. In recent years ther has been a movement to rediscover the food of the true England, country fare. It’s pretty good and getting better.
England. *yuck*
The Irish have some pretty good stuff, but the English food is horrible.
Fish and Chips are usually fried in something that can be easily called “Death Oil”.
” I’m NOT a big fan of sushi... so, for me, the worst place might be Japan. “
Japanese families on average probably eat sushi once a month . Variety of foods here is super wide and almost all yummy . Even my Mom , who doesn’t eat fish and is somewhat fussy , raved about the dishes she ate when she visited some years ago .
Don’t want to go on a cruise. We are planning to go on a Canadian Rocky train trip and stay at the rail moguls hotels. We want my 2 great granddaughters to get a little older. They are 4 and 5 now. We want them to get old enough to remember it. My late husband and I had planned to go on the train trip but he died of liver cancer before we could. The next March I got to thinking about that trip. I talked to my daughter, grandson and granddaughter to see if they wanted to go on the trip or get the money after I am gone. Each said trip. We flew to Seattle a few days before getting on the train. We saw WA, OR, ID, MT and WY. We had a blast and we still talk about that trip of a lifetime. It was a trip of a lifetime since GrandLuxe went out of business the next year. My grandson celebrated his 21st bd on the trip. He is a very talented pianist and played the train piano. He had a lot of fans on it. We hate to think we could not have gone if we had waited. My lesson was to not wait if we really want to do something. We are not promised tomorrow.
What's our cruisine? Burger and fries?
In heaven, the British greet you, the Germans arrange your transportation, the Italians plan your fun, and the French cook your food. In hell, the French greet you, the Italians arrange your transportation, the Germans plan your fun, and the British cook your food.
