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.
Scotland. Stayed at the Grey Walls once - to play Muirfield - and the menu was filled with stuff that was shot in the barn that day.
We have missionaries in Haiti and they say that people REALLY DO make, sell and eat mud cakes or like, pancakes.
The best steak I ever had was in Puerto Rico, and that was six years or so ago. It was incredible.
Well, Cuban STYLE food is quite good but currently unavailable in Cuba because of the Castro Bros.. Okay, I am more referring to style of cooking than availability. So while little food is available in North Korea, Korean food in general can be quite tasty (and also available in South Korea).
I hear there will be a new reality show where contestants will try drive a catering accross Ethipoia and Somalia.
At one time I would had said Russia, hands down. But the food in Mainland China, the sort eaten by the mass of people every day, may in fact and contrary to expectations be the “worst” in the world. Besides the country’s infamous food quality non-enforcement (shredded cardboard in meat pies for example) the food in the PRC is very far from what’s available in all the surrounding Chinese speaking countries like Hong Kong and Taiwan. Food served in high class restaurants in the big cities can still be outstanding but is out of reach for most people. The meat ingredients are 90 percent bone and gristle and only in there to add flavor. Rice and noodles make up the bulk of calories people consume.
Al carbon?
The pickled cabbage is Kimchi ... don’t know about the corn
Ireland, and it’s no contest. They drink to get rid of the taste of the food.
You must be a lousy cook. ;)
We are a big country and regionalism is not quite dead. I would say based upon the aforementioned American cuisine is regional.
Did you try the cheeses? The french work wonders with spoiled milk.
I’ve been there many times. I had an aunt who lived there from 1965 through 1979. My worst memories of the place are of the food.
Everytime I walk into a building that Haitians live, the smell makes me sick.
I LOVE Carribean, so I don’t know what spice they use that turns my stomach.

I can't deny that. :)
Duh? I am clueless. :)
“Did you try the cheeses? The french work wonders with spoiled milk.”
I have tried a few and some are good but so many from other countries are excellent.
Eastern Bloc countries for the large part, the UK, anyplace where bugs are a staple item.
I gotta go with the Phillipines: I was in college with Pinoys and they salivated for fish heads and rice! But Scotland can’t be far behind!
