The worst dish in your nation's cuisine!

[Krusader]

Reading the "Haggis to blame for NATO issues" made me think about haggis, French snails & frogs dishes, English breakfast and much other food which I would not touch.

So consider this a warning for anyone who comes to Norway, and wants to try out local food (Norway has a lot of good food, but some dishes should be avoided):

Smalahove (Cooked Sheep Head)
http://www.matoppskrift.no/images/oppskrifter/Smalahove.jpg

Eaten with all "head accesories" and with potatoes and cabbage.

Lutefisk (Dry fish in lye)
http://gfx.dagbladet.no/dinside/2004/12/01/lutefisk.jpg

Take some dried fish. Have it in water for a day, and then set it in a water/lye pickle, brine. Then throw it in the oven and serve with bacon, peas & potatoes.

haggis is beautiful. Do not doubt the pleasure of the chieftain of the pudding race.

[Marcellus]

English breakfast

What!?! English breakfast is delicious! ~:)

[InsaneApache]

Don't you eat rotten fish as well?

Anyway...back on topic....anything prepared south of Watford is generally disgusting.
Those southern softie-pants will eat anything. Jellied eels anyone?!?!?!...I'd rather eat dog poo....give me good ol' boiled tripe 'n onions....puts hairs on your chest...and seperates the men from the boys (much like a bucket of cold water and a crowbar ~;) )

Zuurkool... or sauerkraut as the rest of the world knows it... UGH!

http://www.amb-pays-bas.fr/images/cuisine/erwtensoep.jpg
Erwtensoep or rather pea soup... people say it should be nice for the winter but it makes me sick... here in Holland we have a saying... it states that mist is bad once it's as thick as pea soup i.e. you can't see shit ~;)

Regardless, I eat everything if it's before me on the table. Even though it's not my favorite dish. And these things, while traditional Dutch cuisine, really ain't that bad.

we say thick as pea soup too (for mist).

Black pudding is another sick dish that's gorgeous.

I think we say thick as pea soup here in Norway as well about mist.

this is a bad thread to view after over-stuffing myself with various charred meats. :sick:

[HunkinElvis]

Besides canines, which I never ate, some Koreans eat another worst dish which is rotten stingray. We call it hongtalk. Tasting it is like having tear gas all over your neck, nose, and eyes.

[RabidGibbon]

In response to those that claim black pudding is edible... it's not.

It is in my not so humble opinion it's the one flaw in the other wise perfect english breakfast. Except for baked beans. They should be given the back of your hand and nothing else. Hmm, maybe english brekky isn't so great but anyway back to the original point, stay away from black pudding for the love of god!

[Don Corleone]

You'd think America wouldn't have much that would qualify, but wrong you are!!! From America, with love, deep fried twinkies!

[Big_John]

well, it's alaskan eskimo (specifically yup'ik, apparently), so it's "american" i guess..

"stinkheads" are the heads of fish (usually salmon) that are buried in the ground for some period of time (usually several weeks) until they are putrid. dig 'em up and enjoy!

thankfully i don't have a picture...

Since I moved to the south, I got a real eye-opening: Chitlins & collard greens. Chitlins are friend organs of a chicken by the way.

[Big_John]

Since I moved to the south, I got a real eye-opening: Chitlins & collard greens. Chitlins are friend organs of a chicken by the way.!! where in the south is that blasphemy committed??

properly, chitterlings (aka chitlins) are hog intestine (usually young pig), often boiled for a few hours and served with vinegar and hot sauce (a common way to prepare collard greens too, conveniently), but they can be battered and frid too. i've never heard of making chicken chitlins, but i guess if you wanted to offend the whole of the south, it could be done... ~;)

actually, i really haven't heard of chicken chitlins, where did you have that? was it good? if not, would it have been if you didn't know what it was?

[Don Corleone]

Well, I've got a confession to make. While I have had the ham, black eyed peas & collard greens on New Year's, I haven't actually eaten chitlins. You're probably right. I consulted with my wife, as she's the native, and she said chitlins were fried chicken organs, but I think she means something else.

[Big_John]

ah ok, no big deal. regardless of what animal they come from, intestines are aways disgusting. ~D

[Taffy_is_a_Taff]

I got to watch a video of people eating stinkheads. That was enough for me.

As for black pudding I've only had it in Scotland and it is delicious. Maybe the English make it funny. Yeah, ok, I love haggis too, there may just be something wrong with my tastebuds.

I had a great,very similar, chat with a Bangledishi guy about this: he really wants to try haggis now (now I just have to figure out how to transport haggis a few thousand miles). He thankfully didn't try to get me to eat goathead as he finds the thought of that disgusting even though his family eat it.

Scrapple and Head cheese

Scrapple all the pigs leftovers ground together and served in a block that you cut slices off of and cook

Head cheese, pieces of a pigs head chopped up and mixed in with cheese.

Tossed Salad....... ummmm nevermind

[Roark]

I'm not sure that Australia has anything that can rate alongside stinkheads...

Even witchetty grubs are nice...

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Potato chips, soda, french fries, onion rings, chicken nuggets, hostess, little debbies, twinkies, soft serve ice cream, wings, pizza, pop tarts, chewing gum...

[HunkinElvis]

At least grubs and those other foods are very nutritious. I avoid junk foods. I see no point to them.

"Royale with cheese" jumped suddenly into my mind.

Taiwans stinky tofu is one reason they do not belong to the UN.

[Ironside]

fermented herring


All of the people who is going to participate in the dinner must sit close to the can when opened and they should as soon as possible inhale the smell. if you are more than 20 feet away from the can you will not be able to inhale a concentration big enough. This is the trick - you must as quick as possible see to that you strike out your smelling sence

Never eaten it, couldn't stand the stench.

Have to agree with you here. My mother's from Taiwan; I swear, she orders the stuff just to annoy us.

Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o the puddin'-race!
Aboon them a' ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy of a grace
As lang's my arm.

The groaning trencher there ye fill,
Your hurdies like a distant hill,
Your pin wad help to mend a mill
In time o need,
While thro your pores the dews distil
Like amber bead.

His knife see rustic Labour dight,
An cut you up wi ready slight,
Trenching your gushing entrails bright,
Like onie ditch;
And then, O what a glorious sight,
Warm-reekin, rich!

Then, horn for horn, they stretch an strive:
Deil tak the hindmost, on they drive,
Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyve
Are bent like drums;
The auld Guidman, maist like to rive,
'Bethankit' hums.

Is there that owre his French ragout,
Or olio that wad staw a sow,
Or fricassee wad mak her spew
Wi perfect sconner,
Looks down wi sneering, scornfu view
On sic a dinner?

Poor devil! see him owre his trash,
As feckless as a wither'd rash,
His spindle shank a guid whip-lash,
His nieve a nit:
Thro bloody flood or field to dash,
O how unfit!

But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed,
The trembling earth resounds his tread,
Clap in his walie nieve a blade,
He'll make it whissle;
An legs an arms, an heads will sned,
Like taps o thrissle.

Ye Pow'rs, wha mak mankind your care,
And dish them out their bill o fare,
Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware
That jaups in luggies:
But, if ye wish her gratefu prayer,
Gie her a Haggis!

i dont know where the english would start, i guess everywhere. hehehehe, the worst of mine cuisine.? is dont know, i pretty much like it all. (i'm not a dutchmen so i wont name sauerkraut.)

[English assassin]

I'll try almost anything, but I absolutely draw the line at battered deep fried mars bars.

And now, in honor of the scots amongst us, a joke:

Tony Blair is on a campaign visit to a hospital, and the doctors are proudly showing him round. They push open the door to a shiny new ward and go in, bound to be a good photo op here thinks Tony.

Immediately the patient in the first bed catches sight of Tony,rears up, and bellows:

"Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o the puddin'-race!
Aboon them a' ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy of a grace
As lang's my arm."

Tony is understandably taken aback, and hurriedly moves on. As he nears the second bed, its occupant shrieks:

"Wee, sleekit, cow'rin, tim'rous beastie,
O, what a panic's in thy breastie!
Thou need na start awa sae hasty,
Wi' bickering brattle!
I wad be laith to rin an' chase thee,
Wi' murd'ring pattle!"

What on earth is going on, thinks Tony. A third patient, disturbed by the noise, yells:

"Is there for honest Poverty
That hings his head, an' a' that;
The coward slave - we pass him by,
We dare be poor for a' that!
For a' that, an' a' that.
Our toils obscure an' a' that,
The rank is but the guinea's stamp,
The Man's the gowd for a' that"

Even Tony's grin is slipping now, and he hurriedly turns to the doctor by his side. What sort of ward is this? A mental ward?

Oh no, replies the Doctor. Its the Burns unit.

"King o' the puddin' race", actually.The Burns poem about haggis.

I'm wondering why "king" seemed right, then.. but okay, I concede defeat.

worst thing ever is easily vegemite sandwiches....
yuck.
vegemite for those who don't know, is the black stuff they scrape off the bottom of the sugar fermenters.
thanks,

Don't you eat rotten fish as well?

That is us dutchies kind sir, and it rotten and raw. And really really delicious.

Zuurkool... or sauerkraut as the rest of the world knows it... UGH!
Hey, whats wrong with sauerkraut? I happen to enjoy it- the more 'sauer' the better. ~D
I know some people that cook it with some brown sugar to take the edge off it- now that's an abomination.

[Taffy_is_a_Taff]

that's why you cook lavabread with oatmeal and bacon: give it some texture and taste.

[Duke Malcolm]

When one thinks about black pudding and haggis -- both of which are delicious and sumptious meals -- they are quite off-putting. One is made from congealled blood of cattle, and the other is made from (insert miscellaneous animal here)'s lungs, stomach, heart, and intestines.

I haev to say that the thought of jellied eels (yes, yes, I'm not from the South East of England, but it is still my nation) is horrible, and they look even worse...

Quorn is also awful, on two principles. Firstly, it is a vegetarian substitute for meat, and since vegetarianism is evil, quorn is also evil. Secondly, it neither tastes, nor looks, nor feels, like meat. I tastes so awful...

[Taffy_is_a_Taff]

I've only ever heard of pig's blood or sheep's blood in black pudding.

[Duke Malcolm]

my mistake, then

[Hurin_Rules]

Canada: prarie oysters.

Scotland: deep fried Mars bars. (Yes, I am familiar with Haggis and Black Sausage, and I like both, thank you very much.)

[Duke Malcolm]

What??!! Deep-fried Mars Bars are certainly not worst in Scotland's cuisine. They arethe finest food money can buy...

[Ja'chyra]

Mmmmmmmmmmm a pudding supper, now I'm hungry

[Steppe Merc]

Tofu is pretty nasty...

Oh, yeah, seaweed! When I first saw this thread, I only thought of poutine (the gravy and cheese kind), which is delicious, but probably wouldn't fly in Europe. But now, I am reminded of the great Seaweed Pie of the Maritimes.

Well in certain regions of Switzerland (Appenzell I think) they do eat dog. Some of the inhabitants are the descendants of Huns who settled there.

[Copperhaired Berserker!]

well, this is a bit off topic but these putrid meals you're sending in are TERRIBLE. And I know the aztecs had a terrible meal, indeedy. First of all they got a nest full of maggots ( and a few wasps or bees could've been there too.) and then put the nest on a fire. Then the maggots crawled out roasted and then the Aztecs shoved in their mouths.~:)
