Which Country Has the WORST Food?
Self | July 4, 2013 | PJ-Comix

Posted on 07/04/2013 2:33:44 PM PDT by PJ-Comix

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.

What’s wrong with goat meat?

It tastes like...goat.

Worst pizza ever: Huntsville, Alabama
Best Pizza ever: UNO’s Pizzeria near downtown Chicago in thw 60’s. (Crisp thick crust served in a thick iron skillet with
imported Italian sausage, fresh tomatoes & divine mozzarella cheese).

Best vegetarian food: Any good restaurant in South India.
My English boss could not understand how anybody could be a vegetarian until I took him to a vegetarian retaurant in Westmont, Ill...the variety and tasty dishes flabbergasted him. He totally understood vegetarians after that meal.

Best Seafood: My mother’s deep fried Pamphret fish and jumbo river prawns stuffed with freshly grated coconut and spices.

Best steak ever: My college buddy’s farm in Iowa from a farm raised, corn fed young cow.

Best cuisine in general: On a princess cruise ship, the chef served a different pasta sauce during every afternoon dinner served on noodles as an appetizer.

The worst meal ever: Fried Chicken in Pocatello,Idaho! It was tasteless, over cooked, dried out, stringy and chewy. I guess hungry cowboys can eat anything.

To each his own, do you like lamb? If I was offered a last meal, it would be lamb chops.

Turkey.
Seems good at first but all that awful kebab that makes your stomach ferment...

England.
Nothing edible except dessert.

Austria - only Wienershnitzel and strudel is edible.

Germany - Wurst and beer, everything else is hundesmittel

Andalusia - only the serrano ham is edible

About the Philippines, they do have the best desserts in all of Asia, but otherwise, nothing memorable.

I’ll have to remember this. :)

Oh by the way, Canada has some lousy food as well.

Had some lamb chops at my brothers the other night. Unbelievable.

Growing up we never had lamb, and my dang uncle had a sheep farm. I wish they were still alive so I could as them about that.

Well, Ethiopia and Somalia must be pretty high up on the list.

Reminds me of the joke that made the rounds years ago during an African famine:

What do you call an Ethiopian who's taking a dump?..................a braggart.

I’ve been to Ireland... their food, while not the most imaginative in the world, is good.

Yes, I agree, and I have the privilege of knowing and eating the food of two of the best regional chefs in the US - Tom Douglas and Ruth Bronz.
But if you were to travel randomly throughout the U.S. you could cover the whole country and never get a good meal if you didnt know the few special places to go. Whereas in France and Italy - which also have regional cuisines - you could wander randomly from one third class restaurant to another, and always have great food.

The food in China was fantastic. My skinny little son who often just forgets to eat just wolfed it down. I’ve never seen him eat like that.

I grew up eating corn mush and milk-toast. Being poor used to suck.

Best rack of lamb ever I have tasted was on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship served with superb mint jelly.

As for Lamb & Mutton, the Greeks know how to make it tasty. American lamb is bland & has that strong odor of lamb. I am sure lamb from UK is just as bad.

I had some Korean neighbors that lived downstairs from me some years ago in Europe.
They were very nice people with delightful children.

...but...

Each morning they cooked something which left a wretched stench throughout the entire building... went right up the elevator shafts to our floor...

So each morning when I drove my kids to school, they would be holding their noses in the elevator in agony and joking about “Cat’s ass soup” being cooked up downstairs.

I have no idea what it could possibly have been, but I think a real cat’s ass soup would have probably smelled a lot nicer.

Well, heartwood posts a reply that syncs with yours (and sounds mighty tasty, like a Big Kahuna burger) but exported restaurants and what you might find in a native village are hardly an equal comparison. I'll take the Sam Kinison approach.

And no one has mentioned haggis yet.
