Which Country Has the WORST Food?
Self | July 4, 2013 | 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.

There may have been more to it than that. We were young and in a foreign land. My cousins were probably doing all they could to illicit the shock effect. So while food at my aunt's house was always enjoyable, the food we got when we were out was not.

But we got even. When they visited out place in northern Florida they ate squirrel that we shot in our back yard, pork and chicken that we slaughtered, and my mother had some great recipes like pig brains and scrambled eggs. While all this was fun, my memory of food in the PI remains a bad one.

I’m going with the natives of Alaska. I watched a show where they bury fish heads for a month, then dig them up and eat them. The rotten meat falls right off the bone. They call them stink heads.

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


Me, too. And they know how to prepare potatoes in different, good ways.

I know all about kimchi, the corn mush as just as you’d suspect; corn, water, salt. That’s it.

I knew my comment about not liking French food would not be popular but that is my taste.

The problem with a lot of regional “ traditional cuisines” is that they seem to have been developed during a period of extreme poverty and near starvation in that region. So they developed a lot of ways to make inedible things a little better to survive.

The best steak I have had was from a small restaurant off I 65 about mile marker 208 south of Bham. It is Kountry Kitchen. Some of the best food we ever had was on The GrandLuxe Train when we toured the NW Nat”l Parks for about 2 weeks. It was delicious even the beet soup. Nothing like eating while going through some of this country’s most beautiful scenery. Sad to say, they closed the year after we went. Love riding the rails.

I suppose if offered it with no indication as to what it was, I might like it too.

We should also give Britain points off for how they name their food. Scones? ok. Add strawberry jam? sounds good. Devonshire clotted cream? Aw, you blew it right there, no matter how good they taste.

The worst single food I ever ate (well, tried to eat) was a raw shrimp in Japan. Generally, though, Japanese food is pretty darn good.

In Don Quixote, Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra wrote that "Hunger is the best sauce in the world.” If that's true then Ethiopia must produce some of the best chefs in the world.

I was in Antallia Turkey and saw a sign at a sidewalk restaurant that said “T-Bone Steak $10 US”. My steak was not a T-Bone and I doubt it was beef. It was so tough I bent my knife trying to cut it. I picked it up and threw it into the street. A mangy stray dog walked up to it, sniffed it and walked away.

That being said, I do believe that good food is what brings the world together. I have had excellent Chinese food in Malta and great Mexican food food in Norway.
