This person clearly has no taste

I get highlighting England for the meme (though the modern UK has some of the best food culture in the world)

But Germany, Belgium, Denmark & Austria? I'm sorry, OP clearly has never travelled outside their hometown and eaten nothing but white bread.

Swede here. Before we imported potatoes in the late 1700s all we had were beets. Just beets. Beets everywhere.

What did you expect.

Also german food is not that dire. What's wrong with minced pork sandwiches, kale stew and breaded sausage?

Well, no yummy Wienerschnitzel for you then!

I'd heard the slander about Irish food but when I visited I had beef and Guinness pies, spiced stuffed mushrooms and herbaceous handmade brats.

also had a potato chip butter sandwich, but I was quite deep in the cups by that point and it tasted great.

could not complain.

haven't been to Britain yet.

Also love shading the Faroes and Shetland specifically. That’s very funny. It’s a couple of archipelagos in the sea. In the howling North Sea at that. They’re tiny islands not known for agricultural bounty. How much culinary choice do you think they historically had? They aren’t exactly growing pineapples up there. Of course it’s all fish and dried mutton.

Tikki masala carrying all of Scotland's cuisine reputation

I eat sauerkraut from the jar with a fork.

Then I drink the brine.

This whole food thing. It's so subjective. How has it reached this stage? 😄😄

I'm a proud Celt! Fuck them Anglo-Saxons!

Genetic testing kicks down the door

At the very least the Scots know that deep-frying stuff makes it better even it was kinda dire to begin with.

luv me 'aggis and marag gheal, 'ate me black pudding

This is racism against the Irish

Austrian food is pretty much enjoyable. Irish food on the other hand... 🙄

The best food I’ve had in England was from other countries.

What’s up with German food? Didn’t know it was disliked…I’ve had plenty of good German food.

Why those 2 specific small areas of Finland?

I'll totally agree with Norway. Did a 3 week road trip from Oslo to Å and back this summer. Got sick of hamburgers, pizza, and fake "kebabs" real fast. I expected to be eating so much fresh fish, but it was fairly rare to find. Best meal I had was a Thai "restaurant" attached to a one pump gas station in the middle of nowhere run by the sweetest Thai grandma. It took some back and forth to convince her I wasn't Norwegian and wanted actual Thai spicy. And it was excellent.

Finland not included?

Let me tell you the recipe for the Finnish national dish: Karelian stew.

Cubes of meat. Beef, pork, lamb. Put them in water. Add salt, (but like less than you'd actually need.)

Chuck it in the oven for hours.

Done.

No pepper. No vegetables. Nothing. Cubes of meat and salt.

God I hate Finland. There's great parts and definitely easymode compared to a lot of places, but there's problems as well. A lot, actually. Just very different.

I condemn Knödel and Klöße slander and who looks at Kaiserschmarn and Apfelstrudel and sees dire food?

Fuck that. German food is awesome. Swedish food is awesome.

And how can you not include finland? They don't serve anything unless it is either grey or brown.

I don't think our Swiss food is so bad... Also what's the big difference between German and Czech food, it seemed pretty similar to me when I was in Brno.

But worst of all is shading Ticino the same as the North of Switzerland. Their food is just like Italian food, so you take that back right now!

I mean, steak pies are delicious.
