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.
Probably one of the poorer caribbean countries like Haiti where they stretch bread and dumplings with dirt and shit (or literally just eat straight up clay)

Korean is pretty godawful too. "Traditional" older-school Korean food is fine but a lot of the snacks and comfort foods are basically the result of dumpster diving US bases during The War(s) so they do shit like put Kraft "cheese"(Does Not Yet Melt!) on instant ramen and goulash slop made of pre-ratfucked MREs.

Gefilte fish
Gefilte fish is just bland. You're supposed to put stuff on it.
 
Northern Europe like Scandinavia, Baltics and North Germany.
I feel a compulsion to defend the scandis, but they make it so damn difficult with all the ways they abuse fish. Every time I've eaten smörgåstårta ("sandwich cake", a horrendous mass of bread, mayo, various kinds of seafood, and usually cucumber, arranged into something approximating a cube), I've ended up with the trots a day later. Must be all the mayonnaise.
 
Tico or Costa Rican food is aggressively bland, they're surrounded by a tropical paradise, fish from two oceans, and a million kinds of fruit and what do they cook? Fucking beans and rice for every meal, even the upper class people. The only silver lining is that the sauce they use, Lizano, is pretty great, imagine if a mexican made worchestershire sauce and youve about got it
 
I was looking to see if anyone posted the Philippines and was surprised it took this long and was this downvoted.
Looks like it's the world's 4th most hated cuisine. At least with other 'bad' cuisines they have redeeming factors.

Filipino food has pag pag and isaw and sprite adobo but not a lot of really good gourmet shit to make up for it.
Their higher end stuff is like Jollibee ube cakes lol

Can’t believe I missed this but let’s proceed.

Yes a lot of it is Peasant food. Personally I don’t mind that. Garlic Rice with Fried Egg and Sausages is excellent. Lechon is very good. I grew up in South Texas and Sisig isn’t much different than Barbacoa - just pork instead of beef. Honestly the main two abominations for me are their versions of Spaghetti and Ketchup. Banana Ketchup. Let that sink in…

But they do have a lot of other good stuff like Pancit Canton and Filipino beer is great.
 
Indian food is fucking disgusting. Their curries taste like shit. I've never had a good Indian curry. the best curries are in the following order: Thai curries, Hungarian/eastern European (paprikash I think it's called) and finally Japanese curry goes hard with the fried pork cutlet (pork katsu).

This is like saying all French food is disgusting because you were jebaited by those airy ass pain au chocolats one too many times and then comparing it to Danish pastries like the French don't cook other food

On a side note: HOW DO THE FRENCH PUT UP WITH THIS?!

They don't actually look like that.

I don't really care for Indian people and the fact their dumb food is a point of pride makes me incapable of liking it, despite me trying it and enjoying it in the past. I'm sure it's the same for many people.

For any Indian person reading this, I don't mean you. You're ok.
 
Slavic/Eastern European cuisine. Enough Said.
Spoken like someone who has never eaten Silesian roulade, gołąbki, bigos, ćevapi, stroganoff or burek. Gotta have a taste for sour things.
If we don't count peasant slop like fermented fish dicks and only consider "real" food with a global presence, I'd say india. Everything tastes like an accident at the spice aisle.

Butter chicken? Well saar, you will be doing the needful and cooking the chicken and then you will take your entire spice rack and empty it on the chicken, saar. Curry, saar? You will be boiling everything then you will take every spice you own and you will dump it in, saar. Just throw it all in, saar. Cinnamon, curry powder, turmeric, paprika, allspice, clove, nutmeg, obtuse, rubber goose, green moose, guava juice.

The food is awful, but what's worse is the people who eat it. Not just the jeets, who are a detriment to humanity, but the idiot non-jeets who choose to eat this curry sewage and tell you about it.

"Oh I had the most wonderful curry the other day. It was at this expensive restaurant where the cooks don't speak english and probably don't bathe. It was the most delectable brown slop. The flavors were soooo complex. I didn't know if I was tasting cinnamon, cardamom, turmeric or licking the floor of a McCormick factory. I couldn't really taste anything, really. My tongue was getting gang-raped by 2 pounds of garlic. It was simply amazing. So cultured."

If any of you niggers try to "but ackshually if you have good indian food done in a very specific way" I will find you and crucify you.
Most Indian restaurants are trash and serve slop for the lowest common denominator. Don't get me started on the sanitation conditions. You have to study recipes and prepare the dishes yourself to get anything good. My suggestion: study North Indian or Pakistani cuisine. That way, you won't have overly spiced slop and instead you'll have lots of food with cream or ghee to smooth the texture and temper the heat.
I would also say laotian is the worst. However, the smell from an eritrean restaurant I wanted to try was so bad I refused to go in. It does not look appealing, but I can imagine it can taste good. In the end it is legumens with spices, how do you fuck it up?
Funny thing: most Thai restaurants in America are run by Laotians. Only authentic Lao dish I've eaten is larb khai. You have to have a taste for onions, garlic, chilies, cilantro and fish sauce. I hate fish sauce but the excessive onions, cilantro and garlic temper it.
Arab food, as in Iraqi or Syrian Arab food is pretty good. Desert dwelling nomads don't eat nearly as good. Before Oil, Saudi Arabia was a poor shit hole. After oil it became a rich shit hole
Can't say I've had Gulf Arab cuisine, but I've eaten plenty of Levantine cuisine and even North African on occasion. Both absolute love their za'atar. Strongly suggest cutting it with yogurt.
 
African cuisine is the worst and it’s not even close. There’s an event in my area called “the world affair” where cultures from all around the world set up cultural booths and serve the best food that particular culture has to offer. I tried food from Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Sudan and it all sucks. It’s very bland and it’s very carb heavy. Problem is they can’t make their carbs taste good like everyone else in the world. If you’re seething about euro cuisine ITT, well you’re wrong, you’re brown, and you’re coping.

Oh, I gotta offer the alternate opinion to North African, where they can have a lot of spicy, meaty curries on this flatbread called injera, which is moister and has a different, more crumpety texture to say, soft tacos. Has a real vinegar/sourdough tang. Its very South Indian, which considering they're all on the Silk Road or a boat-hop around the Arabian sea you can see where the foods develop. I will eat that shit until I explode, so fortunately its on the other side of the city to me.

Food south of the Sahara is essentially no different than eating out of a landfill. To even call it cuisine would be to give it too much credit. Diarrhea infused rotten dumpster is every dish every day.
 
Northern Europe like Scandinavia, Baltics and North Germany. Southern German cuisine is actually pretty decent.
I dunno, here's Roald Dahl's recollections of his childhood dinners in Norway:

All the grown-ups including Nanny, and all the children, even when the youngest was only a year old, sat down around the big oval dining-room table on the afternoon of our arrival, for the great annual celebration feast with the grandparents, and the food we received never varied. This was a Norwegian household, and for the Norwegians the best food in the world is fish. And when they say fish, they don’t mean the sort of thing you and I get from the fishmonger. They mean fresh fish, fish that has been caught no more than twenty-four hours before and has never been frozen or chilled on a block of ice. I agree with them that the proper way to prepare fish like this is to poach it, and that is what they do with the finest specimens. And Norwegians, by the way, always eat the skin of the boiled fish, which they say has the best taste of all.
So naturally this great celebration feast started with fish. A massive fish, a flounder as big as a tea-tray and as thick as your arm was brought to the table. It had nearly black skin on top which was covered with brilliant orange spots, and it had, of course, been perfectly poached. Large white hunks of this fish were carved out and put on to our plates, and with it we had hollandaise sauce and boiled new potatoes. Nothing else. And by gosh, it was delicious.
As soon as the remains of the fish had been cleared away, a tremendous craggy mountain of home-made ice-cream would be carried in. Apart from being the creamiest ice-cream in the world, the flavour was unforgettable. There were thousands of little chips of crisp burnt toffee mixed into it (the Norwegians call it krokan), and as a result it didn’t simply melt in your mouth like ordinary ice-cream. You chewed it and it went crunch and the taste was something you dreamed about for days afterwards.
He also describes "home-made liqueur, a colourless but fiery drink that smelled of mulberries." Maybe nostalgia tinted his memories, but it sounds pretty good.
 
I almost said Indian, but cooked to human sanitation standards some dishes can be okay, so I'm going to have to go with Jamaican food. Carribean foods aren't necessarily terrible as a rule, and Haitian food has the decency to visually warn you about eating it. Jamaican hits that sweet spot of looking like potentially real food, and yet tasting like dirt and negro tears with a bit of coconut on top.

Also, dishonorable mention to Hunan cuisine. I'm not against spicy Chinese food (I like Sichuan's garlicky heat) or against sour food (I rank Bavarian cuisine highly and would fight dear leader over a proper bowl of Borsch), but whatever unholy spice blends those twisted mountain chinks dreamed up are probably why Mao hated life so much.
 
I don't mind most food from around the world but the idea that you go to a muslim country and they eat with one hand, wipe their ass with the other, and use both to pray is kinda weird and ruins the act of eating and pooping for me. That and it's mostly bad versions of indian and mediterranean food.

I'm allergic to fish so Japanese it is.
