Americans, by far.

>>17707565
Vietnamese best
British food worst

>>17707568
Try a Reuben sandwich.
You'll change your tune.

>>17707568
ahahaha you're either trolling or have never been anywhere in your life.

My experience with Nordic food has been rather disappointing in general.
I assume there's some good stuff, but everything I've tried has been bland or outright not good.

>>17707568
>Americans
>culture
And that's exactly why you are wrong buddy

african americans

Definitely far Northern Scandinavian countries and England. Boiled sheep's heads, jellied eels, fucking lutfisk. Oh my god it's revolting.

People hate on Britain, but Scandinavia seems way worse. More fermentation and fucked up fish and less spices.

>everyone proceeds to shit on white people food

go to the ghetto in an american city with lotsa blacks

how good u think their regular food is?

>>17707708
I live in St. Louis, the absolutely most ghetto neighborhoods are full of chop suey places. However the worst chop suey place in town is located next to a cat clinic in an old blue collar part of the city so who knows

>>17707742
yeah i guess st louis is probably the worst of the black'd cities - well the big ones anyways

here its crabs

i got a dozen small steamed female crabs for $40

there were signs everywhere saying no butter or dipping sauce until after you've paid

chop suey is like noodles with gravy?

most of the chinese in black neighborhoods here sell fried chicken with mumbo sauce which is like ketchup with more sugar or something

also like ham sandwiches if the menu offers sandwiches at a chinese place ur in a black area

also french fries usually but i kinda like getting french fries i wish classier chinese places would do that there's no real fusion places where u can get hand-cut fries and chinese food

>>17707565
Italians. Literally every other country does their food better.

Is Scandinavian food that bad?

I'm always eating the Herring Plate and Meatballs at the Ikea cafeteria.

Bastardising other cultures foods doesn't count as food culture.

>>17707565
Iceland has the worst cultural food on the planet...

>>17707686
>ew eels icky!
>proceeds to eat hot dogs
People who think British food is actually the worst have zero knowledge of the world

The place that punches the least of it's weight as a region is probably Central America. Absolute worst like anything is going to be some nightmare hellhole in Africa where they eat cow discharge, mud, child hearts and nothing but whatever

Best: American (BBQ and lots of varieties)
Worst: Norway

Peru. It's just meat on meat and when they have any kind of carbs it's just a pile of rice slop.

>>17707565
Philippines
You already know why

>>17708645
I didn't say eels faggotron, I said jellied eels. BBQ eels is delicious. Jellied eel is a disgusting abomination.

>>17707565

As someone who has been to 5 continents, 17 countries, 39 states, I would have to say the scandavians are low key nasty, no seasoning, fish, etc. they had the hottest women though.

As far as US states, Pennsylvania was unimpressive, just seemed like a state of NPCs. Nothing really worth writing home about. Philly cheese steaks weren’t better in Philly than anywhere else and all the suburb or small towns on the way to and Pittsburgh itself was chain average bullshit. Everyone shits on flyovers but at least Montana and South Dakota had some unique stuff like bison and their own wine .

>>17707565
Japan. As a race and a nationality they enjoy slimy food that'd make me gag. I just don't get it. Too much boiled and salty stuff too.

taiwanese food was pretty boring and i went to two 1-star michelin restaurants there. it wasn't bad, but i tried to taste many different things and try some of the best and it just didn't hold a candle to mainland chinese, or many other east asian countries' food quality. their tea was amazing though

>>17707849
No, it's just a very intense set of flavors and it doesn't use the usual spices you find in most other foods.

The shameless greed of the Dutch served raw alongside a careless watery Brit gravy, topped with Judeo-German efficiency (more salt! more sugar! more soy! feed the damn pigs!) and sprinkled with a crumble of Italo-French cocky ignorance: behold, the Frankenstein monster that is American "cuisine".

Britain/Northern Europe probably but I'm not super familiar with the second one. Most other "bad" cuisines have something good going on. British food not so much. The food culture is terrible, the quality of ingredients seems lower on average, it's hard to find someone who actually knows how to cook, their take out game is weak at best, and even their fine dining is not particularly good. I lived there for a year (York and Edinburgh) and traveled all over (London, Glasgow, Manchester, etc). The best food I had was a fish and chips stand in a little seaside town called Saltburn and some Indian food made by Indians. Brits really only have the Full English and Fish and Chips going for them. Anyone who brings up a roast dinner or Yorkshire puddings gets the wall.

Also those Heinz beans in a can kinda slap NGL.

>>17708640
Child tier understanding of how culture actually arises. A country of immigrants is going to bastardize cultures in the creation of their own culture. It's like saying a Bahn Mi doesn't count as vietnamese because it's a product of french colonialism.

>>17707565
Best: Japanese
Worst: British

Nah, you just haven't been to the right places or you stuck to the gimmicky stuff.
Best dish(es) I ever had were in Italy. The place I went to was far enough out of the way that the owners were shocked to see english speakers and originally figured we were lost at first.

I went with truffle risotto for the primi and stuffed squid for the secondi.
Both were fucking phenomenal.

>>17713615
You seem like a rather simple man.
That's okay. To each his own. You can stick to your "meat over fire", and I'll continue BBQ'ing.
You're welcome to try some of mine, but please never invite me over for dinner.

We think you're ignorant, and don't put a lot of stock in your opinions.

I'm sure you'd like to claim the same, but here you are. Posting on an American website. Desperate for our attention.

>>17713935
And thank god for that. Actual Chinese food is disgusting barbarian fare. It took civilized Japanese and American chefs to produce "Chinese" food worth eating.

It's not anymore?

best is asian, mexican, arab and dindu food
worst is any white food

im white blue eyes btw

>>17713935
To be fair all of these ratings are probably based on 1-2 meme dishes per country.

>>17707565
Chinese. The tastiest being chow mein. But going to an authentic, non-western Chinese restaurant. Bland, boiled chicken, tasteless rice and brocolli. Poor hygiene, poor food quality, all round awful. That and the fact that them along with Asia in general are disgusting fucks that'll eat anything regardless of giving a fuck about the animal. Boiling frogs alive, eating from a live monkey's brain after it's been vivisected, beating poor dogs only to kill and eat them. Fuck them and fuck their cuisine and culture.

>>17707678
Bet that would be tasty to eat outside.

>>17707678
its probably delicious

>>17713497
yeah this easily russia is to me memory the only place i really struggled to find good food. i ended up going to subway one day and it was way worse than a subway in the uk for some reason. only cuisine i remember there was caviar but i dont like that.

Ethiopian food. Not for some "hur hur africa has no food" reason, but because it's genuinely bad. I had so many people hype up this cuisine to me, and when I finally tried it, it was disgusting. Just different types of gross slop. It's cool that everything served on a big piece of bread, but that can't save it.

>>17713850
never realized the japs were this picky

Might have been Eritrean food though

>>17711148
Come on now. I'm a big pig fan too, but Eastern-European Jewish cooking has a lot of good shit.

>"Mmm I hate chewing my food! Mmm I love eating baby food with a few spices in it!"

Americans are so delusional, no wonder they are the source of all this 'progressive' troon nonsense infecting the west.

>>17709317
Because of the people fishing through the garbage for meat?

I’m going to say it’s not actually britbong food. They do have some good things as much I would like to join in picking on them. The worst food is going to be from some place devoid of good ingredients. Like eskimos or Siberians

>>17714074

You are retarded. German and Slavic cuisines are great. It's actual food for men. Loads of meat dishes, stews, soups, dairy, eggs.

>>17707565
Scandinavia & Russia

honorable mentions: Spain (it's so bad that they actually consider processed meats a delicacy)
the Maghreb (boiled chickpeas and whole carrots as far as the eye can see)

I don’t think it’s bad, but mexican food does not excite me anymore. Although good mole is always a treat.

Anywhere in Africa

I traveled in about 50ish countries and the country I had most trouble with was South Korea. I just don't like it, simple as.

>>17709614
Except none of that is true? You guys have obviously never had american food in your life

>>17719968
Same. I've given korean food a fair shot a few times, and always been disappointed. I can see why people would like it, the flavors are just not for me. Everything has that fishy taste of fish cake, but sweetened until you get this sugary-fishy-sesame flavor combo that I just can't get through more than a couple bites of. It's just a little sickening, like it's the American corn syrup version of Japanese food.

>>17715808
>japanese-peruvian nikkei cuisine
There's many cuisines like this though, Peruvians only thing this is something unique from them

I doubt many people that answered this survey have even tried Peruvian or Gulf Arab cuisine, or even know what it's like.

>>17720026
I'm saying that nikkei cuisine isn't unique to peru, it's fairly common to see this type of food

Japanese food is disgusting. How they managed to trick the entire world into thinking a slice of raw fish and flavorless rice is worth $100 a pop is astounding.

>>17709286
this is the worst take I've ever seen on this board. Peruvian cuisine is delicious and probably the most sophisticated and complex cuisine in Latin America. It's really a fusion of Spanish, Indigenous foods, as well as Japanese and other Asian cuisines. Remember, Peru had a Japanese president in the 90s

>>17720523
>It's really a fusion of Spanish, Indigenous foods, as well as Japanese and other Asian cuisines.
This isn't unique to Peru, idiot

>>17709328
>Mexico, it's just all poor imitations of Spanish food

both cuisines are great but Mexican food is very different from Spanish food. Mexican food is heavy on rice and beans and seasoned meat. Spanish food is more high quality ham and cheese

>>17709328
Even if it were that were true you can say that about any Latin american country kek

>>17713615
You don't know shit, what you're talking about is grilling. Meat over fire = grilling. Barbecue is a type of cuisine that involved meats rubbed with spices and sauces, usually cooked in a smoker, not a grill. And if you do barbecue on a grill, it's usually done on indirect heat and directly over the flame

tldr you are retarded

It actually is, Peru has very unique fusion

>>17707565
Scandies, it’s literally caveman tier, or it’s pig disgusting abominations. Actually, the best description for Scandinavian cooking is The Cargo-Cult of Cooking, because it’s like watching people with no understanding of the techniques of cooking cobble together a facsimile of cuisine, like that heinous meat cake thing which is like some fucking proto-man seeing a cake and an antipasto platter and trying to copy them without understanding them.

>>17713598
You can import shit now you cunt, import some fucking spices and a goddamn cookbook, learn some techniques that make it look like you didn’t just complete the Quest For Fire

>>17721147
No because other latin american countries have the same fusion.

>>17707565
I've been to five continents. Only ones I haven't been to are Australia and Antarctica. Norwegian/Swedish food is by far the worst. Every culture has at least one thing they can point to that they do well. Not them. Anyone who answers anything other than Scandinavia is absolutely wrong. The worst part is there is no escape from it while you're there. They cannot do other cultures' foods right either. It was actually insulting.
