What culture has the worst cuisine?

[Safari]

I hate Indian food. It smells like Indians and I don't like Indians.

I'm overwhelmingly Scandinavian in ancestry, but Lutefisk is fucking disgusting.

Also, it is better to use crawdads as fish bait than to consume them directly. That is also disgusting.

Added in edit: Whoever devised "clam chowder" should be shot. I am aware they are dead, but we can shoot a corpse, can't we?

clam chowder is actually amazing dood

Do you, you don't need my approval. I highly disagree though. Unless the "is actually amazing dood" is a joke format I'm too autistic to spot. Seriously, inform me if it is the latter, because it sounds like a DSP rip, but I'm not sure.

the cheese cultures growing in my sock.

ehh, it's still better than ethiopian "food"

these people don't have clean water, washing ur hands in india or subsaharan africa will only make em dirtier

Back when Europe had this problem (cholera) we just stopped drinking water and had alcohol instead. But a lot of countries in subsaharan Africa as well as parts of India are Muslim so I guess they're kind of fucked on that front kek. The non-muslim ones weirdly don't seem to do this though, which is strange.

also i doubt they even figured out alcohol

subsaharan africa was mostly populated by hunter gatherer negroes until they met actual people

they didnt really discover agriculture, so they didnt figure out alcohol on their own

there are some exceptions such as the guys who got islamized, so they were taught that plants grow when they are planted, but again, they didnt figure it out on their own, so they didnt know how useful it is

Slavic/Eastern European cuisine. Enough Said.

The Philippines. The only good thing I can think of for them is the way they fry tilapia but tons of other countries do it just as well. Everything else is just plain gross, look at this shit.

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

My vote is Somalia. One of the few cultures that will steal your pets and cook em. I’ve seen a van full of Somalians jump out of a van and chase down someone’s dog.

This checks out, though I do feel like the "American Cuisine" gets rather unfairly lumped in with fast food and prepackaged processed stuff.

Consider the magic of "The Waffle House", where the bottom tier of Flour, Milk and Eggs are turned into a multimillion dollar business.

Then of course you have the real deal "American Burger" being done by an actual American overseas as opposed to McDonalds slop

Or you have the Biggest Buffet in America

The secret sauce of American cuisine is its ability to make food at scale and in great abundance, while at the same time not having to devolve into giant vats of spiced slop like in India. All traditional American dishes (like the humble Cheeseburger) can be made either with autistic precision, and immaculate care to ingredients, or on an assembly line churned out by the hundreds every hour.

In many respects its a reflection of the country itself, like all food.

i saw a show about what people eat around the world, and when it came to Laos almost every meal was rice, chili peppers, and a third thing. afaik no one bothers to serve it in restaurants. I've seen tibetan food and other weird tiny-country foods served in various places, but never laotian.

To see Perú being so damn low in the list makes me chuckle, a lot. And to be fair, the only great thing they have is "Ceviche", which is basically sushi of whatever fish or soft mollusc but with lemon and served as cold, fresh soup.

Saudi Arabia catching a stray. What about their food do people not like? Arab food is usually reasonably good imo, especially surprising since they're one of the richer ones

 

[Biggie Smalls' Taint]

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.

They eat guinea pigs too, though I actually kind of want to try one tbh.

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.

Hu Jintao (former president of China) ate one there when he on an official visit.

They wanted to serve him something he had never had before.

I have had tibetan food and most things were a variation of good or okay.
I have also had laotian food and the kindest thing I can say about that meal was that it definitely tasted "authentic". It was spicy (not that spicy), but without any finesse or depth. Some veggies had a weird taste. If you think about how some food like sushi and steak are about making the taste of the high-quality ingredients shine through.. well, laotian food is the exact opposite of that, it is trying to make something of bad ingredients, but with also a very limited selection of spices.

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?

Regarding mexican food. I only ever had good mexican food when made in the US, never when it was supposedly "authentic". It is always drenched in fat, looks very decadent, but there is so little salt that it ruins it! I have never had issues with salt levels in any restaurant of any european/american or asian cuisine, just mexican
