What culture has the worst cuisine?

[Absolutego]

Makes sense when you're on low arability land.

In your opinion, what's the best the Scandis have to offer that isn't seafood? The only thing I'm aware of that isn't fish or meatballs is reindeer sausage.

All of them, except Danes (haven't tried theirs) make damn good pancackes and the main Swedish thing in particular I miss from my time there is the widespread availability of lingonberry syrup.

I was told (by a very well traveled man) that it would have to be the Philippines. They have the same issue that Czechia has where they don't really have much of a culinary tradition apart from what they've copied from their neighbors or had given to them through imperialism. The only difference between the Philippines and Czechia is that they don't sell fertilized chicken eggs as food in Czechia.

The worst cuisine is American food. Seriously bland and greasy. Everything just tastes of salt and sugar. “Southern” cuisine is worse, my ex was from the south and she brought me these “cheese straws” that taste like cheddar flavor pie crust. “Biscuits” are big greasy quick breads to them. “Iced tea” with more sugar in it than a quart of Coke. I was telling people I kept kosher by the end of it so as to avoid eating the shit food.

Chinese is good eats and you all are missing out. Even if you don’t like something, it’s got more variety than American so you have more options. In America if you don’t like hotdogs that’s like 1/2 your gfs dinner Ideas DOA.

ETA: Chinese don’t eat cats but as a last resort. They do think dogs can be tasty though.

German food has never really impressed me. I’ve enjoyed it in the past but don’t get all of the hoopla.

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.

The Red Bean deserts of asia are pretty shit.

American "black" food. They take perfectly fine dishes from Europe and Africa, and dumb fat and half their spice rack down in it and then act like it's "well seasoned"

This is smalahove. Salted, smoked, boiled lamb/mutton head. The wool is burned off. The presentation might not be to everyones liking, but the meat is tender, salty and delicious. You have to eat the eye and tongue while they are hot. Actually it's not eaten like this everywhere. It can be flayed, dried and steamed also.

If you are a child (or a manchild) you also get a cool set of teeth to stick in your own mouth and play with, and gross out your girlfriend. It is really fiddly to eat though. So, the actual best dish is

Pinnekjøt (translation: Stick meat). Salted and dried lamb/mutton ribs, which are then steamed or boiled. Served with boiled potatoes, mashed rutabaga, sauerkraut and sausage.
Almost everyone in Norway eats this either on christmas eve, or at least once during the christmas season. Just thinking about this makes my mouth water. If you're ever in Norway you should try it.

I'll have you know us Southern Amerimutt crackers, beaners, and watermelon enthusiasts can make some fucking amazing food. BBQ, Soul food, Tex-Mex, Cajun, and Old Country style are our most famous types. We drown everything in spice, sauce, butter, gravy, or we fry it (even vegetables).

Mac n' cheese, chicken salad, collard greens, green beans, soups, stews, egg salad, casseroles, cobblers, and fried seafood were perfected here. The only fatasses here are the ones who eat two servings of starchy carbs like cornbread, biscuits, rolls, and junk food every meal.

Trying fast food or pre-made store bought meals does not always give an accurate reflection of our food, it starts at home. Cheese straws are only made in public schools and nursing homes here, they're not popular.

I mean, Filipinos are basically Asian Mexicans-Niggers-Canadians so it makes sense why many Peenoise are faggots when it comes to food.

What grants southern cuisine a blanket claim to Mac and cheese, green beans, and fried seafood? Or to categories as general as “soups and stews”? Or casserole, which is French?

Anyway, my exs mom loves cheese straws and gives people homemade tins of cheese straws for the holidays. Cheese straws as also sold fairly often in specialty southern grocery shops, so it was popular where I went.

Maybe it could be good with another 100 years of development, but the Paula Deen type stuff is real

i know exactly what you're talking about here - nearby to where i live is a small food market with vendors that occasionally rotate, and this one time there was a "mini american diner" stall there. decided to try it given that i've always wanted to try the cuisine of diabeetus speedrunners.
ordered some fries and stood there as i watched the guy behind the counter deep fry what were essentially potato sticks, drench them in something, and doused them with an ungodly amount of spices; and i swear to god they doubled in mass after this whole process, leaving me with a tray full of reddish-black fries.
tasted alright, mildly spicy, but every bite felt like i was biting into wet beach sand. easily the worst mouth feel i've had when eating in a long time and it makes me wonder if this is really how americans like their food.

Filipino food consists of:

• Adobo (basically any meat cooked in soy sauce, garlic, and vinegar) w/ Rice
• Halo-Halo (actually original and good)
• Spring rolls (taken from the Chinese)
• Roasting an entire goddamn pig (taken from the Spanish)

So pretty much what he told you is true, although the quality of the food is alright.

Jews. Their food is straight disgusting.

I think it really depends on what kind of Jews we are talking about here because central European jew food is delicious

I agree with this assessment. Honestly, my biggest complaint about American food is that they can't cook vegetables well. They either try and fail miserably, or give up and cover it in grease calling it a salad.

I hate multiculturalism but I thank God for the food it brings to America.

Southern greens and beans: Take a normal person's recipe for sauteed greens and extend the cooking time until all texture and nutrition are gone. Cover them in way too much oil and unseasoned, boiled white beans.

Pimento cheese sandwiches: One of the world's true culinary horrors. It's basically Velveeta mixed with mayonnaise on fried white bread. You may as well just inject cholesterol directly into your bloodstream.

Cornbread: Has the flavor and texture of sawdust because they insist on never adding any sweetener, because cornbread with flavor, why, "That's Yankee cornbread." They even acknowledge that it's inedible on its own, and you have to smother it in butter or sauce to make it edible. The'll spend their entire lives eating dry, flavorless cornbread because they insist that's what Southerners do, because to do otherwise is what Northerners would do.

Southern sweet tea: It's like drinking maple syrup. It's disgustingly sweet. I used to drink my tea sweetened with sugar or honey until I had to work for an extended time in the South a few years back. I got so sick of their sweet tea that I've only had unsweetened tea since then.

I will admit that Southern fried green tomatoes are fucking great, something Northerners can never get right. But even then you have to beg them not to ruin the dish by smothering it in gravy.

The only fatasses here are the ones who eat two servings of starchy carbs like cornbread, biscuits, rolls, and junk food every meal.

That must be a lot of you, then, because the Southern states have the highest obesity rates in America. They also have the highest rates of diabetes and heart disease. It might surprise you to learn that frying everything, covering everything in gravy, and drinking half a pound of sugar with every cup of tea will lead to weight gain.

indian "food". it tastes like dog shit and it has the consistency of baby food. no wonder why they shit on the street,it completely wrecks your bowels

Indian food is all designed to block up your digestive system so you don't want to eat for a long time until your hunger gets really bad. They know they are all poor and changed their food a long time ago so it strategically makes you not want to eat for as long as possible. It doesn't come out pretty either. You start to sweat it out because your body can't handle it the normal way, hence the infamous smell. They also love to push it on everyone when they come over here temporarily via H1B because they want everyone to suffer like them.

French food sucks. Why would you ever eat it when Italian food exists?

You have no taste. The French are the true Aryans. They conquered the hill not even the English could have, cuisine. All culinary standards are set by the French and their skill is unmatched. Look up Raymond Oliver

Pimiento cheese can be good, but you need to make it with sharp cheddar. My gf's family was adamant about that; and their pimiento cheese was pretty addictive when served on Ritz crackers. They liked to have it as a drinking snack, though, and maybe in egg and toast sandwiches. Otherwise you're right on. Shame she only knew how to cook this kind of obesity food.

Not if you can't stand most fish dishes. The only not-disgusting Ashkenazi Jewish staple that isn't sweetened is smoked salmon. All the other fish dishes can go to sheol.

Unless my memory is fuzzy since I haven't attended any kind of observant Jewish event in 20 years.

Thinking more in the direction of their land food then seafood. But then I really do like cured meats, mustards and potato anything. To be fair though if we are getting right down to it, this may be less "Jewish food" and more central European food made by the Jews who happened to live there. Honest to god Jewish Deli's in the States are god tier food though.
