Tbh I'm so tired of this 'discourse'. Food is universal and literally every culture on the planet has developed marvelous ways to make the produce of their particular climate/ecosystem delicious. America and the UK feature heavily in these surveys because they are advanced capitalist economies, and the only truly bad cuisine is capitalist cuisine.
Props to the 3% of Brits that answered British food.
I blame people not really willing to try new stuff for results like these. I never went to any country and had not overwhelmingly good tasting food. You guys either suck at choosing or you use cuisine to unleash your nationalism/racism. Both sucks ass. Go into a corner and be ashamed for a while.
Fuck that shit, I lived in Germany for 3 years and they have unambiguously bad food. 90% of people have a slice of bread with bologna on top for 2/3 meals a day. It's ok that some countries don't prioritize food culturally, but let's not pretend German cuisine is comparable to 90% of things on the list
German food is just the wurst.
The Danes know, they rated us just as bad as the US and Britain.
It's true as well. We make good bread but the hot food is horrible. This is why there is a pizzeria, asian restaurant and doner shop on every street corner over here.
German bread is truly great, I've only had better bread in Russia.
Don't forget the pizza + Asian + doner combo restaurant that excels at absolutely fucking nothing lmao
Japanese having a higher average rating than Chinese food is crazy, especially since their only exposure to Japanese food is likely sushi. Ramen doesn't count cause not even Japanese people think ramen is Japanese (cause it came from China).
E: jfc they also gave it a higher rating than Indian food, I'm calling this racist now.
Japanese cuisine is the blandest of all the Asian cuisines so it kinda tracks that Western Europeans prefer it. But it is also definitely racism cause Japanese culture still has this allure of being "sophisticated" relative to their neighbors.
The results for Italy are wild. How can you hate Chinese and Indian food?
I'm going to assume the asian and african answers are entirely racism
The Spaniards who don't like Moroccan is 100% nationalism.
Italians hating on China: "eeey ohh marone they stole our fuggin' noodles forgettaboutit!"
When we achieve FULLY AUTOMATED GAY SPACE COMMUNISM™ we will force them to eat superior food instead of the slop they believe is the best.
Ppl who said Vietnamese... that's crazy. There. are no words.
A Subway opened up 4 doors down from the local Vietnamese bakery near where I used to live. The Subway was consistently empty during the banh mi shop's trading hours. The Subway cleared out after 6 ish months. These "entrepreneurs" seriously did 0 market research. Subway costs more, tastes worse and had worse music playing.
American food unfortunately contains black food which basically carries the category. Surely itd have to be the britsh or the nords.
British food being bad is a meme. Pies are top tier. Generally the whole 'x nation makes bad food' just reeks of racism/chauvinism/nationalism.
What most Brits eat is bad, but I assume thats because of material conditions and really if we go that direction a lot of countries should be described as having bad food
The whole thing we do where we put specific foods in specific countries is also just ridiculous and only serves to reinforce nationalism. It doesnt help my argument that there is a group of Brits who seem to insist on only cooking their stereotypical foods out of some sort of national pride, but they've just fallen for their own propaganda. Jellied eels is a meme and geezers insist upon it, but they're geezers so fuck em.
It's the same here in Denmark where we have so many people thinking all danish food is just pork. Ridiculous. Pick up an almanac or something from before factory farming and you'll find so many fantastic seasonal and regional dishes.
On top of that as a society we decide that newer foods "don't count" somehow. British curry isn't really British, because it's made by immigrants. The Danish variation of Dürum is still just middle Eastern food because people from the middle East can't be Danish. It just reinforced conservative ideas of nationhood.
::: spoiler Also classism.
Hate when people go "ewwww pig knuckles" (for non-vegan reasons, I love it when they do it because eating animals is nasty). You fucking philistines would have balled at eating lobster until the nice man on TV told you it was classy actually. Try the dish and evaluate it on that instead of some arbitrary idea of what part of food is nasty - For some reason the cut of meat that's the animals ass is often good? That's close to shit! Ewwwwww. Also don't eat meat.
British food being bad is a meme.
Okay, but consider that shitting on the British is fun.
Danes saying Germans have the worst food
Spaniards saying Moroccans have the worst food
S2g culinary nationalism is like the dumbest thing one can engage in. Unless you’re defending hummus and falafel from being co-opted by the Zionist project or otherwise resisting cultural genocide in the face of colonial domination you can miss me with that shit. I’ll gladly down a bowl of jellied eels with a bread sandwich.
I heard Israelis had the shittiest food.
The recipes are great, but the slave labor ruins it for me.
I'm surprised so many folks hate Indian food. I love it.
A lot of it is vegan and a lot of it is spicy and flavourful, those two factors are the main reason, I think.
More likely it's just racism.
Vegetables you can't easily identify plus names you can't pronounce plus not emphasizing a clear aesthetic form = fear.
Same. Like take it from someone who grew up in a stereotypical American “Italian” home… naan is literally pizza crust and eating curry, a spiced tomato sauce with it? Please give me more of that. Oh, and samosas are so good.
Danes vs. Germans: "you took everything from me" vs. "I don't even know who you are".
britain on fucking life support
imagine being more bland and offensive than swedish food
No one voted for Swedish food because no one has ever actually eaten Swedish food outside of Sweden.
depends on whether the Ikea food court counts
USAian food is just British food with extra corn syrup, stop pretending it’s anything more than that.
the US doesn't even have chip butties
You people have obviously never been to New Orleans. There is not better food in the world. (That I've tried at least) Tourist traps don't count either.
Stop it, the US doesn't have anything remotely close to the bottom of the barrel that is the Toast Sandwich.
I'm sure you're just joking but jic the infamous toast sandwich is not and never has never been a widespread British food, it was a single recipe published in a 19th century cookbook as food suitable for 'invalids' that was just been picked up by the writers of listicles and then misinterpreted as a widespread British dish by the greater internet
But the US equivalent is the syrup sandwich...
yet more proof that the Dutch don't have cuisine
I still remember the first time I watched a Dutchman eat a wedge of cheese like it was an apple.
Danes saying the Germans have bad food lmao
I'm surprised that "British" isn't like 90% from every other country. My expectations for food were extremely low and it was still shocking how consistently terrible it was. I fear they are not escaping the beige slop allegations.
There really isn’t much difference between the food in Britain, Germany, Sweden, etc. For example, they all basically do the same sausage and potatoes with poorly seasoned vegetables dish, just like every state in the US claims that they have a special version of pizza or hotdogs or whatever even though it’s really all just the same shit. It’s the narcissism of small differences.
Oh my god in Sweden they have lingonberry jam on toast but in the UK they have marmalade on toast and in Germany they’ll put Nutella on toast holy shit so different.
I know this is a shitpost thread but no one in Sweden has ever put lingonberry jam on toast. It's a tart condiment used to balance savory dishes.
I like how nobody hates Italian or Spanish food
Kind of wild how it's France who hates Vietnamese food the least considering they're the ones who colonized Vietnam. I figured there'd be more residual racism
