My company has a large office in Brazil. I haven't been sent down there for work myself, but a few of my coworker friends have. They all have come back traumatized by the food. When I ask for details they never want to elaborate, but these threads help me understand.

It's so bizarre how anemic and tiny this thing looks, especially when you consider how this is a promotional photograph. Most of the other garbage posted in this thread at least seems to look like it was made by a generous, albeit misguided, chef. This thing looks like a sandwich my mom would make for me in grade school after realizing we're out of almost everything but there's no time to run to the store.

Yeah, carbs on carbs is a food sin. It's hardly just the Brits and Aussies who are guilty though. Here in California you'll find a ton of fast food items prefixed with the state's name, which can sometimes indicate that it contains added avocado, but more often than not just means that it's jammed full of french fries. It's obviously a cost saving measure to sell the cheapest ingredients for the same price as a proper food item, but the name makes chumps think they're getting a local treat.

Yes, let me sit down and enjoy this giant flour tortilla filled with potato and rice #JustCaliforniaThings

Are you seriously dissing California/Mission Burritos? If it's not the size of my forearm, weighing more than a Chihuahua and includes 12 red and green salsa cups then I am just not having it. Plus it's enough food for 2 meals.

You bet your rear end I am seriously dissing them. They're just 2 lbs of flavorless calories. There's a reason they come with all that salsa.

Yeah this is what people eat in North America too :nallears: did you really think we eat feedstock? we throw away enough edible food to feed the world

In the US people pretty much only eat sweet corn when eating it directly (as opposed to eating cornmeal in a tortilla or something). But in a lot of other countries it's common to eat the starchy, non-sweet type. When I was in China I grabbed a roasted corn on the cob from a street vendor and my Chinese friend was like "Are... you sure you want that?" I'm like why wouldn't I, it's just corn on the cob lol, then I took the first bite and was very surprised with what I got.

So was it any good? I assume that if a Chinese street food vendor was selling it, then it’s probably pretty tasty.

Eh, it wasn't bad I guess, but I'd hardly call it good either. It kinda struck me as a subsistence food, something whose purpose is to pack as many calories into a little handheld thing as possible. It's probably nice if you're walking around all day and need some energy, but a tasty treat it is not.

Why is Korean food with very few exceptions just complete loving poo poo? It's always either too greasy, too spicy, too sweet or just too plain weird or all of the aforementioned. What went wrong with Korean food culture? It always just seems like they decide to just throw all kinds of garbage together which ends up looking barely edible. I mean I suppose you can eat it if you choose to , it's probably going to hit one or several of your taste buds in a way that will make it feel acceptable..., but almost all korean food just looks really bad and/or unhealthy.
I'm not a food snob by any stretch of the imagination, and I try a lot of things and I like to cook for other people and I try experimenting with all kinds of cuisine and ingredients - but Korean just seems like it's either really unhealthy or just terrible in every other way?
Why?
Every Korean recipe looks like they are putting up a show - look what we have sitting around and can throw into this mess! The street food videos are especially bad, but look at all the other regular recipes you'll find online or on youtube or whatever. It's all terrible!

I tried to go to Flo's hot dogs in Maine three times this summer and it was closed every time, which is by far the worst hot dog experience. Especially because I live in Kentucky

The specialty of the house there is a steamed natural casing dog with Mayo, celery salt and a house relish. It looks gross but is delicious. Also they refuse to put ketchup on a hot dog unless it's for a small child which is awesome.

Some interesting developments in international burg technique

Brazil


Looks hard to eat due to the strange and unnecessary double-wide structure, but otherwise there are no objectionable ingredients and everything looks properly cooked. 6/10

The weird little goblin peppers are disconcerting and unwelcome, but the rest of it seems fine. Maybe too much melty white cheese but some people are into that. The greens at the bottom look like a sad afterthought. Did someone nibble on the patty before taking this photo? If so, not the restaurant's fault. If not, what's going on here? 0.5 points removed for serving it on an insultingly small paper plate. 6.5/10

A pile of mush. There might be a hamburger patty hidden within, but I'd prefer not to make assumptions. None of the ingredients seems to be outright heinous, but I feel like I'd need a wide straw to consume this thing. 3/10

Way too much melted cheese, and way too tall/sloppy to eat like a proper burg, but I'm sure this one tastes pretty good. 7/10

I don't want the chef to lose his job over this, but he definitely needs a stern reprimand. 2/10

Not sure what I'm looking at here. ???/10

"BLEHH??" "BLEEEHHH!!!" ???/10

Did they... cut the burger in half and then grill the exposed wound? I guess in theory it could work if you were dealing with a thick, rare-cooked patty, but in doing so they completely incinerated the cheese. Extra point awarded for bold innovation, but the end product looks like guaranteed cancer. 3/10

The food in this photograph honestly doesn't look bad, but I don't see a hamburger present. No score.

Ah, I'm starting to understand. Much like how everything is upside down in Australia, everything is sideways in Chile. Must have something to do with the extreme length to width ratio of the country. I don't hold it against them, but I cannot score this.

This one actually could be a real hamburger if you propped it up 90 degrees, but the Chileans were apparently wary of this and preemptively attacked with velveeta and bacon bits on its exposed side, sending a clear message that no such maneuver will take place. It probably tastes alright, but the bellicose nature of it makes me uncomfortable. 4/10

protip, if you wanna see some down and nasty BR burguers use "xis" as the search term, that's the popular vernacular for "cheese"(burguers)

Cornpile aside, I'm very confused by this. At first it looks like a hotdog bun, but there's no split down the middle. It's like some kind of weird little bread bucket. I can't tell if it's filling out the wrapper at the bottom or just being propped up by it.

Also is that a single caper, or just the top of a whole green olive barely floating in a sea of mayo like an iceberg?
