/ck/ - Food & Cooking

It's not. It's just people's digestive systems are fucked after decades of eating inferior bread products that they can't handle the good shit.

> Ruisleipa (rye bread)

Rye bread may be nothing new to you, but Finland's version is genuine 100% rye bread made from unique Finnish yeasts to give it a dark, dense character. This bread is one of Finland's staple foods and a part of Finns' cultural identity for thousands of years. Leavened rye breads are often dried into thin crisp for open-faced sandwiches or to be snacked on with butter.

What the fuck's going on in Peru that literally nobody likes it?

why are such delicious cuisines (moroccan, lebanese, argentinian) so low? how is american cuisine higher? this is an embarrassment to food

>>14267297
Even Peru can’t stand Peruvian food

>>14267297
You are reading the chart wrong
It is not a good measure of how popular a cuisine is because this is largely dependent on availability
However, it is a fair assessment of how picky homogenized, or xenophobic a nation is, which makes sense when looking at the data from Japan

>>14267132
It's not disgusting, people are just scared of asking for a süömënpystykörvä and having everyone laugh at them because they pronounced one of the ä as a.

>>14267278
Kraut anon here, can confirm, 90% of all cunts have shit bread.

Dark breads are amazing

>>14267132
i thought peruvian cuisine is en vogue now

>>14267132
have you ever been there? Fins are among the most selfish, unfriendly, no-fun-allowed on earth. it's no wonder their food culture is virtually nonexistent : it would imply gathering with people, social interaction, and enjoying yourself, all of which are crimes in finland. fins are content with sulking alone in the forest miles away from any other human, gnawing on wood and rye bread that will keep for days to further ensure they have no need to contact other people ever.
>tl;dr if you hate everyone and everything but your religion forbids you to end your misery you should apply for a finn passport

>>14267132
What the fuck have the Saudis got against Thai and Vietnamese cuisine?

>>14267449
boo fucken hoo

>>14267466
i'd assume they dislike the expats

>>14267297
Cuy - spit roasted guinea pigs.

>>14267466
Thai and Vietnamese people are literal domestic serfs in their country, they're not going to have a high opinion of their cuisine

texan here, med food is best food

>>14267555
You're thinking of the UAE.

>>14267300
American cuisine, when people think about it, is pretty much simple, broadly appealing grilled foods (burgers, hot dogs, steak, barbecue). As compared to other more complex cuisines like Lebanese or Moroccan, those types of foods are often more popular. Argentinian is really full of delicious grilled meats too, though, so that one sort of throws me for a loop. Maybe it's too spicy for some? Even though it's barely spicy compared to Mexican which is way higher??? IDK

>>14267381
>UAE
>less xenophobic than nations to it's right

>>14267278
Finnish food isn't that good imo. Kind of bland and simple most of the time.

>>14267132
Mämmi is half the reason

>>14267132
japs are picky eaters huh?

>>14268694
UAE is a great country. They didn't fall for libtard bullshit, the workers are put in their place according to the tiers and they know their place

>>14267132
>America gives an 68 to Caribbean cuisine and goes as far as to rate China's higher than Japan's
What is wrong with you, burgers?

>>14267449
how difficult is it to immigrate to spurdoland

>>14267132

WTF? I don't see Polish food on that list!

>>14267132

>>14267278
The reason "ruisleipä" is a Finnish specialty and no other people eat it is because it fucking sucks.

Here's how to make Finnish-style rye """bread""":
>mix wholegrain rye flour, water, sourdough starter and salt in basically any ratio, makes no difference
>ferment at room temperature for an arbitrary amount of time
>shape in some flat shape and bake until gray and unappetizing
The result: a dense, sour and gummy piece of bread with rough, unbalanced one-note flavor, easily manufactured and fit to fill the stomachs of a servile people.

How to make real rye bread, as the people in Eastern Europe do:
>use a mix of dark and light rye flours, roasted rye malt, both starter and yeast for a balanced sourdough flavor, water and salt in a precise ratio
>ferment in a warm environment to temper acidity, carefully control time and temperature because you are a real baker and not a savage living in a log cabin in the middle of the forest that doesn't know what a thermometer is
>shape into a loaf and bake until beautifully dark brown with great oven spring
The result: a true rye bread with complex and balanced flavor, light texture and a beautiful appearance. Appreciated by civilized peoples of historical significance.

>>14267132
why are japanese people so picky?

>>14269116
Still didn't know that was a thing till 4chan but I want to try, I also live next to Cornwall and been numerous times and know shit loads of people from there and they go on pasties but no ones ever heard of this.

all I really know is fry cheese and rye bread

>>14268634
I love Lebanese, Moroccan and Argentinian but they're not really that complex or spicy.

>>14267278
that looks like a log of feces with undigested corn sticking out.

>>14267132
>Chinese
>shitting on everything that isn't Chinese
figures
I mean, look. Germans are absolute tastelets on average, but they do just fine.
I'd also like to point out that 87% of people actually liking German food is not because "ok Ahmed, hurr durr" but because lots of it is shit.

>>14270800
rye bread is actually based when competently made and presented. Also, it's real bread unlike that wonder ""bread"" type of garbage.

>>14267132
Scandinavian in general is pretty disgusting. I mean, look at the pic related abomination

>>14269116
Imagine conquering the whole world, and having access to exotic spices in India, the Middle East, and Africa, and yet your food is still bland. Brits tongues must not work properly.

Looks like a correlation between high iq and shit cuisine

>>14269140
In 99% of their dishes the seasonings they use is soy sauce, dashi, sake and mirin. That's what they're used to. That's the only taste they like.

>>14271496

Weak cope. Face it, icenigger: nords can't cook worth a shit

>>14267132
Finally some empirical confirmation that Philipino food sucks. The American Pinoys on my Facebook always talking about "muh lumpia", "muh congee", "muh adobo" and it's all looks bland and terrible.

>>14271481
It's a "common" christmas food here. Never got the appeal. It's almost like jello in your mouth and tastes of nothing.

Germans not liking British food is some real pot-kettle-black shit.

>>14271500
I tried japanese curry once or twice. Bland slop held together by roux they don't even fucking make themselves. Makes you wonder how a nation obsessed with perfectionism (even having top ranking chefs) can have such low baseline of taste.

>>14271506
Emmy apparently likes it, but she'll put anything in that colossal mouth of hers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQiSAfGsebs

>>14271507
We like Italian food better than our own. Honestly, I have cooked more genuine Italian in my life than I have cooked genuine German and that won't fucking change til the day I die.

>>14271507
Because everyone thinks about british "breakfast", blood pudding and strange eel dishes.

>>14271509
Yeah, weebs always hype it up so I decided to buy those roux cubes at an asian market. It's gloopy af and tastes like the cheapest generic curry powder you can find. Makes no sense at all.

>>14271522
There is this one french weeb youtuber who made "instant ramen" himself, properly, from scratch. Ofc he cheated, like in the end settling with broth ice cubes because the self made powder simply makes an inferior product, but it was a nice little watch. If he tried making some in a non-cooklet way, I may actually try it.

>>14267449
>have you ever been there?
You clearly haven't

>>14267132
Try living in the cold north for thousands of years with no spice trade

>>14267278

Every country has dark rye bread. Tons of varieties. Stop feeling special, you autistic toad and go day drink behind a R-Kioski

>>14271645

He may not, but I have for a year. Shittiest place in Europe. I've lived in Denmark and the Baltics. so this is not the "north" that's horrid, it's Finland. Helsinki is ugly, even churches look like administrative buildings. You have no great museums, cafes, bars. All you fuckers do is drink Sandels and sit in sauna, whiffing each other's briny ball sweat.

The saddest places in Finland are Alko shops - a government monopoly on alcohol because you defects can't be trusted not to drink yourselves to death. There you could always find grown ass men huddling around the vodka section, trying to pick out the cheapest plastic bottle.

>>14267132
>American "cuisine"
What dishes are distinctly American? BBQ doesn't count.

>>14272868

Burgers, Pizza, BBQ, Ribs, Junk Food

>>14272868
corn syrup

>>14267278
I haven’t been able to find any Finnish bread here in the US, but I did switch to that sense German health bread. That was a shock to the system, two weeks of colon-blow but now I can’t imagine going back

>>14267300
I’m sure it’s an American poll, people voted for their favorite common ethnic food like Italian or Chinese for the top spot and then defaulted to the always-safe American food

>>14272995

Are you literally too stupid to google the poll? This is why fucking /pol/tards and normies fall for the stupidest shit because of a badly compressed facebook meme .jpg

>>14273015
Haha holy shit

>>14269165
can confirm, complexity is a new thing exclusive to "Haute Cuisine", every country's native cuisine is simple and delicious, it's the food of the people.
I'd say the only exception is China and maybe some other asian countries inspired by chinese cuisine (afaik), because the ancient aristocratic recipes staid as a status symbol.

>>14271496
>still believing in IQ in 2020

>>14271505

>>14272875

ok anon, you'll have to explain to me how no one discovered ribs before the americans.

>>14274376
I made the massive mistake of ordering herring three ways in a Danish cafe. The presentation was great but goddamn, cold picked fish was not what I expected or wanted. The rest of the food I had while I was in Denmark was ok though

>>14273871
lmfao here's a small explanation done by N.N.Taleb
https://medium.com/incerto/iq-is-largely-a-pseudoscientific-swindle-f131c101ba39

All you need is a basic understanding of statistics, hope that's not too much for you.

>>14267381
T. Seething Peruvian

>>14271507
Amerifat here. British food and German food are both great. So is American food.

>>14267132
does this chart mean that as a beaner I cant win the hearts of asian girls with food?
damn it anime fucking LIED to me

>>14274714
Guaranteed this dude took an IQ test and wasn't happy with the result haha.

>>14274927
Low tier bait.

>>14275000
The only thing low tier is his test result haha.

on a scale of 95 to 131 what do you think this guy's IQ score is?

What the fuck is there to not like about Peruvian food? Its rotisserie chicken and yucca fries lmao

>>14269097
not featured on this list: Polish, Russian, Ethiopian foods among others. Man I love Ethiopian food.

>>14272852
>lived in helsinki for a year and is an expert on finland
yes, please do us a favor and stay gone thx

>>14272852
Government run stores are far superior to free market equivalent. In my home state liquor stores are government owned and operated, the booze is consistently cheaper than it is in neighboring states, and the selection is better and they even have monthly deals. Not to mention the employees are paid well and have health care. Honestly all business should be run this way, it's way better

>>14276866
On second thought, I take it back - this guy knows best, Finland is actually a miserable shithole and I wish I lived in Denmark or even Russia.

>>14273015
>he thinks /pol/ isnt the one that posts this to make fun of subhuman countries
Hahahaha think before you post dumbass.

>>14276691
>Sour "bread" with vegetable smush.
Yum yum. Where did this meme start that Ethiopian food is good?

>>14278126
that up there looks like a pretty based entree, what is your problem?

>>14278126
found the ameritard.

>>14276884


Have you been to an Alko store in Finland? These fuckers literally spend 2 and a half hours (each way) and 20 euros (22 USD) to go to Tallinn (Estonia) to stock up on booze.

I've been to Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, Czech Republic, France and nowhere is the capital as ugly, boring, and expensive as Finland. Okay, maybe Paris is more expensive, but at least you get great food there.

>>14268634
>barbecue
>grilled

>>14269116
this is real brit cuisine m8

>why do countries that are positioned so north that they can practice agriculture only for a short period of time each year and can cultivate only limited types of crops have inferior cuisine compared to countries with more abundant resources

gee I wonder

Why is "american cuisine" all one thing? there are a bunch of different cuisines in america even if most people (even in the us) don't know about them. Heck, just look at the south. Tex, cajun, barbecue (all the different varieties), floridian keys, floridian mainland, soul food, piedmont, etc

>>14278589
It's all cuisine that came from somewhere else but you bastardized it. It's american just like a mutt dog is a mutt regardless what breed the parents are.

>>14278603
explain to me where the cuisines I posted came from and why they are "bastardizations" of existing cuisines and I'll tell you why you're wrong when you reply

>>14267278
looks tasty

>>14267132
>Peruvian
Def looks like "barely anything left during quarantine" tier sh*t.

>>14271481
When we present ourselves to the outside world we take pride in how much others dislike it.
When a scandinavian suggests food for other nationalities to try it's liquorice, beska droppar, surströmming, blood pudding, lutfisk and shit like that, not gravlax, lammfiol, pork pancakes, nigger balls or cinnamon rolls.

>>14267132

Finnish poster here, it's because most finnish cuisine is based on survival food. Meatballs mashed potatoes brown sauce frankfurters and rye malt pudding. We survived on this shit while the russians tried to bomb us in to oblivion.

>>14276884
That would depend on the government. Here in Sweden I feel personally violated every time I have to purchase alcohol, as if the government ministers have ran a train on my every orifice. The taxes are ridiculous and there's never a sale.
People just take a day-cruise to stock up at the tax-free or drive to Germany and back.

This pandemic panic started just as I was about to get more beer and I have suffered these months without beer rather than go get assfucked at Systembolaget.

>>14272852
>The saddest places in Finland are Alko shops - a government monopoly on alcohol because you defects can't be trusted not to drink yourselves to death. There you could always find grown ass men huddling around the vodka section, trying to pick out the cheapest plastic bottle.

Why did I laugh? I guess because it's so true. Yeah we need something better than Alko, that's why we have never ending options for german online shops who can, through a loophole, deliver cheap vodka to our doorsteps without interfering with the legislation.

>>14269116
This is probably really tasty. A creamy fish pie sounds nice.

>>14269116
American cuisine:

Apple pie (British)
Pizza (Italian)
Hamburgers (German)
Hot dogs (German)
Fried chicken (Scottish)
Tacos (Mexican)
Burritos (Mexican)
Nachos (Mexican)

Seriously, do yanks even have a cuisine? Putting plastic flavoured cheese onto something European or Mexican isn't a cuisine.

>>14267132
Not inherently disgusting, just very bland and boring most of the time which is a shame because most of the common ingredients could be made in to really cool shit. I think the problem is that we were basically a 3rd world shithole before the 60's.

>>14279617
>>14279644

>>14280010
This. I live in another "big" city in Finland and Helskinki is like a completely another world. An absolutely fucked up place.

>>14267132
Who outside of Finland even knows what they eat? I imagine it's fish and beets with every meal.

>>14280010
>>14280076

I love Peruvian food wtf
Ceviche is heavenly
Love yucca fries
Don't understand how people can dislike llomo saltado, it's fucking steak and peppers

>>14269127
The fuck with baking, I don't have a huge kitchen to make rye. That said there's a cool restraurant about two blocks from me that'll make me a damn nice loaf given a day's notice. That's just fine by me.

>>14280251
A Brasilian friend turned me on that powder. Cassava?

>>14267132
Its not that bad i like potato pancakes (röysti or raggmunkar), and ...

Kaalikääryleet – cabbage rolls

Game food. – Moose, deer, grouse, duck, hare, etc... dishes. Rarely attainable in restaurants. Common amongst those whose hobby is hunting.

Hernekeitto – pea soup, usually served on Thursday along with a dessert pancake

Leipäjuusto, alternate names hiilikko and juustoleipä – a fresh cow's milk cheese

Viili – a yoghurt-like fermented milk product

Perunamuusi – Mashed potato, a common side dish

Lihapullat – Finnish meatballs, often with gravy sauce and lingonberry sauce

Palvikinkku and palviliha – Smoked ham or beef

I think the Swedish and Finnish cousines are very close, we eat more lingonberry, fish, cloudberry, blueberry and salmon :D

>>14267278
dane here, can confirm. best bread ever.
What do you call it? We call it rugbrød

>>14279685
Burritos are actually American dipshit.

>>14282424
They originated in Mexico but Mexicans who migrated to America perfected it.

Holy shit how picky can japanese people be

FINNISH FOOD

>>14267132
because in poor, small and coldfuck countries food is thought mainly as fuel
cuisine and good food is a really really recen invention in finland and there is nothing wrong with that

>>14267278
Don't they also eat fish soaked in lye?

>>14276691
I had this once and it was disgusting. The sour, acidic, sponge pancake along with the goop made it taste like I was eating vomit.

>>14282584
No reindeer? All I see is bread and soup but no good shit. What about fish, the country is surrounded by Arctic waters with narwahls and shit. I cannot imagine it's 99% sad bread and potatoes.

>>14282699
>narwahls
what you are thinking about is norway

>>14282635
It's one of those things we scare children with if they misbehave.
I don't know anyone who eats that.

>>14280010

Easy there you racist cuck, most of the problems in Helsinki come from white meth addicts who stumble from dusk till dawn. Worst part is they sometimes sneak up on you because the rest of the master race alcoholics look so bad that it takes a while to pint-point meth heads.Sure in the city center there's also the 4~5 gipsy (somali?) women asking you to buy their stupid magazines, but I'd rather have them than look at middle aged Fins with rotten teeth and facial scars/zits/decay.

>>14282811
no. a normal finn eats this stuff like once a month

>>14267132
It's just fermented fish, liquorice, and vodka.

>>14274441
pickled herring is delicious though

>>14272852
>even churches look like administrative building
they pretty much are
the state church was the record keeper for centuries
even now the church exists merely for extra social aid
spiritually, they are as dead as a door nail

there is more sublime and spiritual in a 15 minute walk in the forest than in a day spent inside a church

>>14282584
nice presentation

360 days a year we merely consume the sustenance required to keep our bodies functioning within the 30 minutes allotted to us for this bodily necessity, like shitting and pissing
we learn this at home, in school, in the army, at workplace
form a queue, take the nutritional slop, eat fast, don't talk, finish it

I'm no expert about finnish cuisine but I like their salty liquorice, the salmiakki

As a Finn I can say that sadly there is some truth to this. Reminds me of a saying in my hometown:
>Give out 100€ so the neighbor doesn't get 50€
