IF YOU SEE ME TALKING ABOUT BEANIE BABIES, PLEASE TELL ME TO

EAT. SHIT.


What's wrong with nestle, lard, liver paste and deep fried pizza?

And I didn't know there were anywhere near this many blood-based dishes (and I personally know of at least two which are not on there! ugh).

When almost half your map of weird food is blood something maybe it's time to realise you're a boring white bread person.

I think it’s the same thing going on with Belgium and the Netherlands: they just happen to share the same “winner”.

Nestle actually has a long and varied history of being horrible in terms of the environment and workers' rights. They also used fake public health campaigns in sub-Saharan Africa to convince women that formula was safer than breast-feeding (which is definitely not true if the water mixed into the formula has cholera in it).

Squid ink is also the most milquetoast thing ever. It's just food coloring.

I've had black pasta and I didn't really notice a difference from uncoloured pasta. I read Spain's one as bull's testicles with squid ink though. If that's not the case then it's pretty weird to list two, especially when one is a lot more likely to gross someone out.

it's also called "herring in a fur coat" and is covered in mayo and beets and whatnot.

it's bland and has too much mayo in it, but that's a general failing in the russian moral character, nothing to be done about it

The British Isles should be "Everything not cooked by an immigrant". The worst thing about Ireland is they don't even know how to cook a damned potato, and that's like their national dish or something from history.

Look, potato scones are merely boring rather than actively malicious, immigrants brought Scotland the pizza crunch and the munchy box, possibly the two unhealthiest dishes ever crafted by human hands.

Yeah its "dressed" in beets, apples and mayo essentially. It's okay.

Russian food in general is relatively bland and inoffensive but not really bad either. It gets like 5.5 out of 10.

This is not really bad, i actually thought its really good when i tried it. I would like to nominate their deep fried cabbage for culinary horror, it was very bland.

Did you ever talk to an Australian? Because man, they loving love their diminutives. "Kindergarden" is "kindie" over there, for God's sake!

Don't know about any Australian fetishes though except maybe a psychotic hatred of minorities.

For Scotland, the deep fried mars bar is probably more horrific than the deep fried pizza, but the deep fried pizza has the benefit of actually being eaten by a number of scottish people more than once in their lifetimes so there's that. On a personal level I've found that haggis is probably the #1 most likely thing to creep out non-Scots but maybe that was too obvious a choice. And it's pretty much 100% the backstory (eww, organs) that creeps them out rather than the actual experience of eating it (which many admittedly never do due to aforementioned "eww, organs" sentiment).

Organs are good.

People in the UK will eat most organs except the lungs, and I've never figured that one out. The lungs are the bit that creeps most people out about haggis and the reason why the FDA wouldn't let them into the USA.

Steak and pissfilter pie? Yum. Membranes of livegiving oxygen? gently caress that!

Yeah people are really weird about what food they decide to get freaked out by. If they can't handle scottish stuff never let them go to iceland (which is great I think).
