Title: Which country has the worst food
Post by: Ahab on January 17, 2013, 01:13:50 PM
Although Fish Chips and peas are delicious, British food seems pretty bland to me so I guess my vote would go to the U.K.

Your vote goes to Thailand and the Philippines don't know anything about Philippine food,but Thai food is your choice for the worst.
I would think you will be alone with your choice i would say a very large amount of people on here would say Thai food is the best in the world,i enjoy Thai food and eat it on  daily basis.
Eating Thai food is all pleasure my pleasure.

Ahab you are talking out of your arse. If your talking bland food then perhaps you need to look at eastern european countries where ingredients were traditionally in short supply. British food is diverse, inventive and rated amongst some of the best in the world with some of the top chefs of today. The fact that fish and chips is so popularly connected with British cuisine goes to show how a simple snack can become an icone much the same as a Hamburger and fries is with America.The Brits can also be congradulated with modifying diets and foods around the globe durring the colonial years often giving those countries a new national dish such as the Indian curries we all reconise and enjoy today. Unlike our American cousins whom aquired all its cuisine from everywhere else and then supersized it and added tons of fat and sugar to create one of the unhealthiest and obease populations on the planet, my vote goes to America.

What is really beautifull is that when a country thas "used" to rule the world, that invented games like cricket, tennis, gold and a great cardgame bridge ..... your cuisine starts with things that eiter can be a starter, main dish or dessert like Yorkshire pudding, it makes non-english people wonder.
Furthermore : the description of this "cuisine" leaves everything to the imagination ...

- bangers and mash : who did the banging in the mash ?

- bubble and squeak : do whe have to smother someone first ?

- toad-in-the-hole : is this a male or female thing ?

- spotted dick : is this contagious ?

- crumpets : a tasty "muffin" ?

can I go on ??? !!! ???

And then the most basic english one : pie and mash .... it is an original East End London meal ... prepared with EELS !!!!


But then I like eel ...

How many have had mince & tatties, liver & onions, a stotty cake sandwich, a saveloy dip, a bacon & black pudding sandwich...giant yorkshire pudding filled with mince & veggies or steak & kidney....

A great joke is the definition of Hell and Heaven:

Hell is where the British are cooks, the French run the railroads, and the German are the Police.

Heaven is where the French are the cooks, the Germans run the railroads, and the British are the Police. 


Have spent almost 2 months with the UK in Bashra, I have never experienced so many ways to screw up chicken.  What a bunch in lousy food. 

So my vote goes to the UK as the worst.   

The best is hard to say as I love a good grilled steak.

 :oWhats the weather got to do with which country has the worst food  I fail to see the connection. Ahab needs to get his taste buds checked out or is he just a Brit knocker.   I agree with you Albert, Ahab has very limited knowledge of British food.

I'm a Brit and do miss the great British classic dishes like Fish and Chips, Bangers(Sausages) and Mash (Mashed Potatos), Faggots (Meat Balls) and peas

My vote for worlds worst food goes to Mongolia only because I personally dont like their food

But surely which food you like or dislike is down to personal tase and preferences   I believe every country has its good and bad food

Bro believe me, your vote is correct, another Mongolian national dish is dry caramel curd, a bucket of camel milk dryed in the sun and tastes like ear wax with the consistency of chalk. Love bangers and mash, Yorkshire puddings, pea and ham soup.... All great food, I'm an Aussie and love my British grub

All the things you miss are available, at a very good standard, from Coffee Corner, or from Buriram Pie Man or Nookie.

No need to miss out on all the great British food Mikeh. It is not just avalable in Thailand but here in Buriram province.

Coffee Corner in Prakhonchai does fantastic fish and chips (not wrapped in newspaper though) whilst our own Steve (Buriram Pieman) can supply the rest which is of excellent quality.

Although Fish Chips and peas are delicious, British food seems pretty bland to me so I guess my vote would go to the U.K.
Ahab you are talking out of your arse. If your talking bland food then perhaps you need to look at eastern european countries where ingredients were traditionally in short supply. British food is diverse, inventive and rated amongst some of the best in the world with some of the top chefs of today. The fact that fish and chips is so popularly connected with British cuisine goes to show how a simple snack can become an icone much the same as a Hamburger and fries is with America.The Brits can also be congradulated with modifying diets and foods around the globe durring the colonial years often giving those countries a new national dish such as the Indian curries we all reconise and enjoy today. Unlike our American cousins whom aquired all its cuisine from everywhere else and then supersized it and added tons of fat and sugar to create one of the unhealthiest and obease populations on the planet, my vote goes to America.
So Indian curries originated in the U.K., really? Who is talking out of his arse now? British food is diverse because it includes food that is not British. That kind of supports my point. I agree with your point about American fast food (it is terrible) but it a a stereotype that is not representative of the diversity that is available. Since the USA was once a colony of the British the food is basically bland and unhealthy, if it was not for the foreign foods that add diversity we would basically be as bad as the British. I currently live in Hawaii and the food choices here are endless, except there are not many decent Indian restaurants.

The mess hall had not been completed, we mainly ate MREs (meals ready to eat).  The Afgans were very found of goat and prepared by them slitting the throat and throwing the goat on open flame, no further field dressing performed.   hungry1

But then Afghanistan is not a popular tourist destination.   loco

So it appears that Mongolia, Afghanistan, United States of America, United Kingdom, Eastern Europe, Philippines, Italy, and Thailand made the list of the worst food countries. I understand why the first five countries could make the list, but do not understand Italy and Thailand.

It surprised me that someone listed Thailand (on a Thailand forum), but I guess that is why Baskin and Robin makes 31 flavors of ice cream.

America is gross for its fast food, but it also has some of the best ever:

Cattlemans in El Paso has the Best Steaks I have ever had.
http://www.cattlemanssteakhouse.com/ (http://www.cattlemanssteakhouse.com/)

The best Hamburger was in Meers OK, http://www.meersstore.com/ (http://www.meersstore.com/)

And I have eaten gourmet food in New Jersey, New Orleans, Los Angeles, San Fransico, Seattle, etc.   

My view is that if you cannot find in America, it is not there (subject to health inspection which would exclude 1/2 of Thai foods).

I am sure that you can find excellent food in most countries (UK, USA), maybe some not so excellent food in some (Afghanistan, Mongolia). I think that Thai food is one of the world's best with it's fresh and bold flavors. This is not to say that every Thai dish is the best in the world, but overall it is a very unique and tasty cuisine (IMO).
