What culture has the worst cuisine?

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
WW1 and WW2 did a number on trad Brit food. Especially after the rationing of WW2, a lot of Brits simply didn't have access to anything other than processed garbage, supplemented with the most basic vegetables (peas, cabbage, carrots and potatoes).
Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and River Cottage opened my eyes to pre-rationing style trad British food.
People have horror pictures of jellied eels and pie, mash and liquor, but nobody remembers the amazing cakes and baked goods, proper Cornish pasties, roast venison, rabbit casserole, game hens, not to mention Britain's highly underrated seafood. Hell, roast beef and the very concept of 'steak' are British.

If all you choose to eat is monster munch and angel delight don't go about claiming Brit food is shit, because you come across as never having had any.
Yall should read some orwell
 
Mexican food. All these strange cheeses and nasty sauces, greasy as hell, uneven and bitter spices, smells horrible, wrapped in those tortillas that are both bland yet unpleasant (and tacos are even worse), it's the perfect cuisine for a nation descended from bloodthirsty Injuns raped by Spaniards. And that godawful rice and those nasty beans with their mud-like consistency. And tequila is the nastiest drink on the planet, it's like you spiked vodka with distilled vomit. It must be horrible for you, because like 90% of Mexicans older than 40 are all really fat, like even fatter than whites or blacks.

And bugs too. Mexicans eat lots of bugs. So do Guatemalans and other Central Americans, whose food is like Mexicans but they add a banana lol. They say "oh, it's not just Taco Bell", but Taco Bell had to get their ideas from somewhere. Why do Mexicans eat this? Is it just because they can't eat dogs or people anymore like the Aztecs used to?
 
Mexican food.
Are you talking about "Mexican" food made in the US or regional cuisine in Mexico? Some of the authentic dishes are excellent. A proper burrito, made with a soft tortilla, can be fantastic.

Incidentally, I used to know a guy who had travelled extensively up and down Central and South America and he flat-out said the best Mexican food was in California.
 
don't get why white people food gets so much hate but I guess from my experiences from living in a south east asian region and I enjoy century eggs but uhh

phillipines or Indonesian food(worst asian food,poor man's vietnam or thailand and dirty af in a lot of restaurants)

black people food, no actual restaurants in my area serve that stuff but saw food from a black student once and it smelt like shit from a mile away
 
I’m surprised no one has brought up the atrocities from Russia.

I'm glad you said culture and not country because these niggas were from like a dozen places. Asian ship crews. Indian/Paki/Bangladeshi management/food safety, Indonesians, Pinoys, if it's not one of the big ones there was probably someone from there earning like $3/hr tops. I tried to stomach and decipher the strange food in the crew mess on the ship I worked on. Within a few days I had resigned myself to subsisting on fucking white rice for the duration of my contract. I had to work around/smell these people and I've seen the war crimes they do to the bathrooms aboard. Some highlights:
  • Chicken bones- I don't fucking know either. WIngs were the day before and there was a tray with a mound of bones at the "soup" station the next day. I try not to think too much about it.
  • Pasta/rice with bones/shells throughout (in some cases finely chopped).
  • Food under lamps long enough to entirely dehydrate like jerky.
  • Hot food gone cool for hours.
  • Cold shit heated/melted/rotten.
  • Usully unidentifiable. Crew mess staff definitely does not speak English.
Edit:
Gay culture all their food tastes like ass.
Why is paella the official food of fags? Why leave the nasty fucking shells in a rice dish? I'd rag on Spain but I've literally only ever heard of fags eating paella.
 
Indian food. The dishes you get in your western country (where the tap water is drinkable and there's minimal wild pig infant mortalities) aren't Indian. They are western and what happened when a bunch of westerners figured out the spice trade meta & got some interesting stuff from India. Actual Indian food is caked in spices, considers fire ants a viable entree and commits sexual assault on your entire digestive tract. You couldn't eat at an authentic Indian buffet because you would take three bites of offal and die of the shits.
 
I will say it's a lot like American food, in that the overall national cuisine is shit, but each of the different regions will have at least one local speciality that is pretty good.

McDonalds, I guess. In the same way Brit food is fish 'n' chips and other generic fried stuff.

I don't know. I'm American and I always thought of it as hot dogs, hamburgers, macaroni & cheese and an intense compulsion to smother everything in cheese. I don't actually eat those dishes and was always grossed out by them.
Y'all shitting on Muttlandic food?

And this is just the national stuff, not counting regional specialities or beverages or improved foreign dishes (technically it's all improved foreign cuisine sure).

Anyone unanimously dunking on American food is no different from the people who unanimously dunk on British food as shown in this thread.

I've never understood that meme either, it's like a common sentiment with everyone I meet (in America) that spicy food is never, ever spicy enough.


Foreigners always depict generic USA food as hamburgers, hot dogs, and pizza. Which is indeed very common (hot dogs not as much nowadays though) but if anything I'd guess USA diets are just a mix of European and Latino cuisine.
We have balanced palettes - sweet, sour, spicy, savory. Yes day to day food is best described as Europe meets the Americas.
 
The Middle East probably has the worst desserts out of any culture I’ve tasted from to date. I do not for the life of me understand what they see in baklava but I have tried and utterly failed to enjoy it about half a dozen times before giving up and coming to the conclusion that I don’t like it despite being served everywhere from Morocco to Pakistan.

Everything else is either weirdly savory and full of nuts or just plain sticky. Arabs should just admit that the West perfected desserts centuries ago.

Tex Mex is shit. A proper San Diego style wet burrito is great.

Where is curry from? I hate that shit.

Bitch tequila is the best liquor
 
So many people bringing up the British isles and forgetting that northeast of that cursed archipelago is a penis-looking peninsula that has literally zero good food. Scandinavian "cuisine" is 95% fish, potatoes, and leeks. Their biggest accomplishment is finding a way to make meatballs, but without any of the flavor or savoryness of the Italian version. Each nation has some turbofucked thing they do to fish that, half of the time, I'm convinced is an orchestrated prank on foreign visitors.
Even their pizza is fucked. Who in their right mind puts salty licorice on a pizza? Swedes, that's who.
There's a reason they drink so heavily, it's to cleanse their palate from their disgusting dinner.
Max Miller did like this bread when he tried it, although he hasn't been a big fan of much else.


Of course we probably shouldn't expect much from the countries that brought us literal rotten fish dipped in toxic chemicals as a "delicacy."
 
I have no idea what Russian cuisine or traditional dishes are, no one ever talks about them and I've never lived anywhere with a significant Russian population.
It's savory soups and dumplings, like 95% of Eastern Europe.
I'm a big fan of summer borscht and pelmeni. Overall the cuisine can be a bit bland, but if you like dill it's all right. It ain't lutefisk, I'll tell you that.
 
hawaiian food. It doesn't taste bad individually but it's a salt bomb while being too sweet at the same time.
Don't forget the Spam. Hawaiians love that shit and apparently put it on anything. That's why there's so many 500 pound people in Hawaii.

Actually, the entire Pacific is downright horrifying. They went from eating people to eating the fattiest cuts of meat, all because eating the most people/gaining the most weight makes you a chief in those cultures.
