What culture has the worst cuisine?

Filipino food

It's the polar opposite of Brazillian cuisine, where mashing hundreds of different flavors and ingredients together doesn't result in culinary harmony, but rather, a steaming pot of putrid dog turds rolled together into a wet cabbage leaf
 
That's delightful, but it's not "cuisine". Go eat some catfood in a tortilla.

Don't care didn't ask cuisine is subjective
 
Berbere spice is actually quite good. I have never had an Ethiopian dish, just used the mix on other meats, so can't speak for Ethiopian cooking as a whole.

Can a decade be a culture? If so, 50's-70's America deserves at least a spot in the top ten. Mormons are just wholesome 50's wannabes, so they do not get recognition. I'm going to blame lead poisoning on whatever the shit happened to food back then.

The aspic trend of that era is stomach-churning. Tunafish, vegetables and other meats encased in a cold, moist, gelatinous monstrosity for all to see at the dinner table. Some of todays trends are pretty bad like coffee sugar bomb smoothies but aspic is in top 10 worst foods from Burgerland.
 
Idk about British Ethiopian but dude there is the best Ethiopian in twin cities, I go out of my way to get it when I visit, the meat is roasted so perfectly , the squishy sponges bread is better than any other I've had, I may never leave Lol so I'm inclined to say that American Ethiopian is chefs kiss (at least in this town) but British Ethiopian is prolly junk. (Also the Ethiopian lady visits Paris a lot , so maybe that's why, she's some kind of cultured Ethiopian so👌)

As much nationalism as I have for Wales as an americunt-mutt, their food, as well as the rest of Britain, is usually fucking disgusting. Some of the baked sweetie items are pretty good tho. My family describes Welsh (and English) cooking as "an overdone burnt steak with corners peeling up and then an attempt to reconstitute it with some salty greasy sauce." They even watched Gordon Ramsay's show KN in Britain and shat on the dishes at the restaurants Lol

Phuh in the states is amazing, so I refuse to believe there is bad Vietnamese food here at least. I knew a half viet Asian mutt who was Very racist against Hmong food (Hmong are all over SE Asia but many from Vietnam are in the states) and refused to associate with them because they are the "niggers of Asia." They use fatty shit cuts if meat and don't cook it long enough to make it edible in egg rolls imo, so the other Asians avoid Hmong food.

I have a theory that the shit diet of the Hmong contribute to their high cognitive decline when aging, there is a high number of dementia patients but their families won't put them in homes, yet you see them yelling in Hmong at shit that isn't there at the bus stop unattended, but little old Asian men and women are harmless otherwise.

Last observation: cultures that drink raw or use animal blood in their recipes (middle eastern especially) is fucking gross
I've always wanted to try Ethiopian but I've been scared to try any of the sketchy restaurants around my place. There is something about seeing a 500 square food crack shack with "Ethiopian Cuisine" written on a cheap banner on the side of the building that makes me feel like I'm probably gonna get some sort of intestinal parasite. I'm within driving distance of the twin cities, if it's not too much trouble do you think you could let me know what the restaurant is called? Or just DM it to me.

Yes it can. 1970s Vancouver working class Cantonese restaurants were fantastic and cheap. Deep fried tofu in oyster sauce. Stir fried beef in black bean sauce. Eight Joe, whatever the hell that was. Cloud's ears. Whole crabs in garlic sauce -- get to town and start tearing it apart. Steamed buns with BBQ pork. I probably unknowingly ate a few house cats. Perfect for impoverished students.

The grocery stores were a bit scary though -- pressed ducks hanging from the ceiling, dried plum "candy". Fucking ginseng. Other things that didn't bear thinking about. Oh well. If that's what I was eating in the cafes, okay, but seeing it (and smelling ...) before it was turned into food was terrifying.

Everything other than Cantonese was godawful if you could afford it, bland and unsatisfying if someone else was paying.

Then the rich mainland Chinese moved in and a SRO flophouse room in DTES is now $2.3 million, and who the fuck cares what bug and snake blood dishes they eat as long as it claimed to make their inadequate peepees stiff.

Southern California taquerias are great. If the parking lot is full of contractor trucks and there's a big B in the window, you can guarantee a good experience. I tried Menudo once, wasn't great but can see the appeal if you want to ruin your hangover with spicy boiled cow guts. I'm too chicken to try the cabesa tacos but seeing "guts" and "brains" on the gringo menu is adorable.

There was one restaurant near Bakersfield in the '90s that got shut down for thawing meat in tthe mop bucket. I'd advise giving that one a miss.
 
This is biased in that I've never eaten it, but there is not a single thing from Inuit cuisine that I'd be willing to try on the grounds that it all sounds vile as fuck. "Alaskan ice cream" is berries mixed in fat, for example. Whale blubber with the skin still attached is a common snack. And those are the more "palatable" items. Ethiopian food is edible in comparison (but not by much).

berbere is good, the sponge bread and cat food like substance it mops up tastes like shit imo. certainly not shit I'd pay for. I'm going with ethiopian as the worst of the major ethnic cuisines you see in urban centers.

Ethiopian food isn't terrible, especially when you need vegan options, but most of it is a shittier version of Indian curry on wet, sour cardboard. I definitely have no taste for it outside Lent.

It was largely because of the effects of Prohibition. The American “Free” Lunch was stopped because of Prohibition and our cuisine suffered as a result, the Depression was the coup-de-grâce to the practice. The 50’s was also the time when we started eating through the war surplus.

It sucked because most families were living on shoe-string budgets and really couldn’t cook that much. Americans had a great food culture prior to the 1930’s. It’s just all of the breakthroughs in preservation and really screwed us for a while.
 
I don't think your examples are "nigerian cuisine", more like "shit weird insane nigerians in my vicinty happened to eat". Although there are places that will eat rodents and bugs (out of necessity, usually, because not every country is a 1st world country where there's just meat on the store shelves and it doesn't cost much).
Having lived in Nigeria for a while...no their food is pretty fucking weird. Jollof is good. Fufu and egusi...not so much.

Plus beef is super cheap in Nigeria. Fruits and vegetables are not. That resulted in some weird shit.
 
Ok, let me cheat a little bit, I don't like seafood aside some shellfish ( fucking LOVE oysters) but normal fish etc don't work for me. It's not "i'm a flower and don't just love tuna" I can't get it down etc, even good ahi.

I'm going to say Japanese, it's not bad but if you aren't a fish fan you miss a ton out and buckwheat is lame. They do autismo shit instead of giving you a slab of beef like a normal steak house, now don't get me wrong a5 is fucking amazing but, they use some fucking soy fish oil and shape it like a gundam, instead of just tossing it on a grill.

To be fair I don't even dislike Japanese cooking I kinda just wanted to shit post but as far as cooking it's one of last places I think about for food.

Bout time someone actually said about Filipino food. Food is heavily extreme on whether or not it wants to be tasty or too close to the morgue, kinda matches the average Filipino even and I'm still wondering why people look at sea niggers' food as good when nothing about it, nor their culture has anything good to be written home about.
