I did not like the food in Denmark but the beautiful women and great beer more than made up for it..
IMO it’s a toss up between India and China. Been to both, lost weight in both. In India because of really bad food and the heat, while in China due to food poisoning.
Nothing beats the food in the good ol USA far as I’m concerned. Been to France, it’s good, but doesn’t beat the USA.
I’ve never really cared for German food.
Worst pizza ever: Huntsville, Alabama
Best Pizza ever: UNO’s Pizzeria near downtown Chicago in thw 60’s. (Crisp thick crust served in a thick iron skillet with
imported Italian sausage, fresh tomatoes & divine mozzarella cheese).
Best vegetarian food: Any good restaurant in South India.
My English boss could not understand how anybody could be a vegetarian until I took him to a vegetarian retaurant in Westmont, Ill...the variety and tasty dishes flabbergasted him. He totally understood vegetarians after that meal.
Best Seafood: My mother’s deep fried Pamphret fish and jumbo river prawns stuffed with freshly grated coconut and spices.
Best steak ever: My college buddy’s farm in Iowa from a farm raised, corn fed young cow.
Best cuisine in general: On a princess cruise ship, the chef served a different pasta sauce during every afternoon dinner served on noodles as an appetizer.
The worst meal ever: Fried Chicken in Pocatello,Idaho! It was tasteless, over cooked, dried out, stringy and chewy. I guess hungry cowboys can eat anything.
Turkey.
Seems good at first but all that awful kebab that makes your stomach ferment...
England.
Nothing edible except dessert.
Austria - only Wienershnitzel and strudel is edible.
Germany - Wurst and beer, everything else is hundesmittel
Andalusia - only the serrano ham is edible
About the Philippines, they do have the best desserts in all of Asia, but otherwise, nothing memorable.
I’ve been to Ireland... their food, while not the most imaginative in the world, is good.
Japan!!?? I couldn't eat anything even flown over Japan. Raw fish, eyeballs, eels, and seaweed. Hell no.
“Until recently I would say that the British Isles has the worst food. Boiled and overcooked is NOT the way to prepare most food since it cooks the flavor right out of it. However, in recent years food has reportedly improved in that part of the world.”
Back when the Brits were a majority there, their food was TERRIBLE. But now that they are transitioning to a non-British “multicultural” society, their food has increased greatly. Of course everything else, starting with crime, now sucks, but their food is much better.
I heard correctly. None of it bad, but Lord knows it wasn't good.
I had delicious seafood that year in the Cayman Islands, though...
The worst beer (beer counts as food!) was in Algeria. I spent a few weeks in the Sahara camping/trekking by camel. No booze with me and crappy British food. At the end, back in Algiers, the flight to London got cancelled (Air Algeria planes didn't have the needed equipment to do a landing in London when there was fog), so the airline compensated us with a free beer. After 20 days in the desert with no booze at all, I still couldn't finish that beer is was so nasty (and I love beer).
Has anyone ever tasted manna?
I’m going with the natives of Alaska. I watched a show where they bury fish heads for a month, then dig them up and eat them. The rotten meat falls right off the bone. They call them stink heads.
The worst single food I ever ate (well, tried to eat) was a raw shrimp in Japan. Generally, though, Japanese food is pretty darn good.
That being said, I do believe that good food is what brings the world together. I have had excellent Chinese food in Malta and great Mexican food food in Norway.
I’ve been to a LOT of countries... Without doubt, the BEST food was in Italy. I loved everything.
Worst food? REALLY hard to say. There are good things, and bad things pretty much everywhere.
I’m NOT a big fan of sushi... so, for me, the worst place might be Japan. But, even there... I’ve learned what I like and don’t like. Some things (like skiaki) are excellent.
Korea is just slightly better.... at least, they cook most everything. But, kimchi is PRETTY HIGH on my list of horrible things to eat. Also, cold seawater soup. yuk.
China has mostly delicious food... just always TOO much of it. And, you can always count on at least one dish that is rank... like, Chicken feet.. or fish with a million tiny bones.
If I had to nominate a country/culture with the WORST overall?? I think I’d say Germany. You got schnitzel, chicken halves, and pretzels... that’s about it.
EVERYTHING there, is designed to go with BEER. Which, BTW, they absolutely, hands down have the BEST of. The white asparagus there is also very very good. But, it’s only available a few weeks, so that doesn’t count.
When I go to Germany... I eat EVERY kind of food EXCEPT German. That has to count for something??
Great Britain has pretty lousy food. Mexico has lousy food. Italian food is among the best. Cajun food (ala Louisiana) is superb.
The first time I went to Ireland, in the 70s, my host advised me to eat the full Irish breakfast (eggs, sausage, bacon, black pudding, white pudding, fried tomatoes, toast) and then just drink Guinness the rest of the day. It was good advice.
But by the time I returned in the late 80s, the food in both Ireland and the UK had gotten a lot better. I think joining the Common Market gradually gave both places access to more ingredients and improved their cuisine.
