It's fucking expensive! I can make restaurant quality Indian dishes by using the same pre packaged masalas (MDH brand especially) That keeps my costs low. Some of the masalas have like 30 ingrediants.

But I've never seen any African spice mixes due to lack of popularity.

Sometimes filipino food is fucking amazing, sometimes it just makes me laugh. It seems like the perfect troll cuisine for /ck/ with balut, ketchup(banana ketchup ffs?), and spam everywhere. Dishes like fucking pinoy spaghetti? It's glorified ketchup- cheddar cheese spaghetti. But then out of nowhere you get things like lechon and crispy pata, turon, or the ubiquitous adobo.

That aside, while Finnish food is rather expressive of the primitive and apathetic mindsets of it's creators, I gotta admit that being bland is still better than being... well... Filipino.

Finland has to be in bottom 5 in Europe, food just isn't our thing.
It's all really fucking blant and tasteless. We only ate turnips for most of our history, then we got the exotic and spicy new thing, POTATO.

Older Finnish people consider bell peppers too spicy, true story.

I still think Iceland is worse, though much more interesting. It's either some disgusting rotten fish or sheep for them.

That clip really does underline the history of... well, relative poverty in the country, especially the hardship of food production. I swear, a century and a half back we could have taught Ethiopians a thing or two about starving to death.

One of the most popular fast foods besides McDonald's etc. is pizza and kebab from individual restaurants run buy turkish immigrants.

I see that many of you pick cuisine that is simply disgusting, you probably haven't even tasted the stuff yet.

I'm a danefag, that means i come from a country that cooks delicious, but rather fatty stuff, however I have tried many on the list of so called disgusting foods, including, but not limited to:
Rat meat (Is really great if spiced properly, plus you won't get sick from it unless the animal comes from a sewer).
Snake/pretty much any reptile (Tastes like chicken, seriously, but the concistency is different)
Balut (sounds fucking disgusting having to eat a duck/chicken fetus, but think about the taste of fowl and egg at the same time, plus the crunchyness :) )

IMO Norway is the no 1 for worst cuisine on my list, the food is usually bland and boring or just plain tastes like shit.... at least Brits can cook a tasty stew, Norweigians can't cook anything proper with taste... at least not in hotels.
on a close second place of mine is Sweden, because surströmming...

You've never eaten snake. It's got a bitter flavour.
> most reptiles taste like chicken
lolno
Alligators taste like tuna. Roasted lizards taste shockingly similar to burned bacon.
All-in-all, to claim
> pretty much any reptile tastes like chicken
is as stupid as saying that all fowl tastes like chicken and is indicative that you're a liar and have never had snake in any capacity nor enough reptiles to make such a call/judgment. Complete hogwash.
Balut doesn't taste like eggs and fowl simultaneously. It's a very dry-tasting egg, somewhat crunchy. The best versions are soured, halved or quartered after being boiled, starched and fried, served with a salty sauce composed of sour tamarind sauce.

Iceland takes the piss out of Norway/Sweden when it comes to shit cuisine and Danish food isn't far behind those two in terms of bland shit.
My family used to go on holiday to Tivoli when I was a kid. What did we have to look forward to? Delicious baked goods, sure, but also horse-meat sandwiches that tasted suspiciously similar to poor-quality American baloney (yes, spelled like that).
At least samsoe cheese is very good; you've got that going for you, Danefriend.

Isn't that almost the same as disowning French food because you dined at the Eiffel Tower's crap bistro?

Danefood is pretty bland though, yeah, and we have lots of shit that is downright horrifying, but there's a lot of good stuff around as well. Not nearly as bland as anything that's come out of Britain imo. Come around at Christmas some time and you'll find out.

Foremost, haggis is actually of English or Icelandic origin and adopted by the Scots; there is debate over whether it came from the south or by boat from the northwest.
The Scots make great soups. Clam chowder, an American dish of clams, onions and potatoes in a seafood and cream broth, has it's origins in Scottish cuisine and its cullen skink, a dish of smoked fish with potatoes/swedes/rutabaga/turnips/whichever root vegetable is available and onions in seafood-and-cream broth.
Neeps and tatties are also actually quite good. Have you had them? How could anyone not like mashed potatoes and turnips mixed with cream and bacon-render-sautéed leeks? It's biologically impossible.
As Iceland might be the origin of the most-dreaded haggis and Iceland already eats things like piss-soaked rotten shark and roasted-then-boiled sheep head, Iceland is still, by far, leagues beyond the rest of the civilised world in terms of shit food.

Oh, and we ate elsewhere besides Tivoli, of course. If you think in three days in Danmark, we ate nothing but food from Tivoli, that's silly of you.
We tried local foods and sausages and breads and purées of this and stewed greens of that and really, everything was really rather bland. Not bad. Not revolting. Not good, either, though. Just so-so. Danmark, and all Germanic cuisines (save Iceland) are culinary limbo. I'm the one in the family that was most put-off by the local cuisine. My brothers, sister and mother were less-than-wowed, but didn't think the food inedible. My dad, being the fatty of the family, ate everything with a smile.
The Danes were a lovely people in the late 80s/early 90s (haven't been there since I was a kid) and, again, the sweets and desserts were grand, but the entrée food all-round was, to my tastes, revolting.
My mother would pack food in the boot for the drive (a day's drive there and back; we'd spend three days in Koebenhavn for a total of a 5-day holiday)and I was very happy to eat picnic foods during the ride up, but once we got there, I knew I'd have a good time, but would revile the eating for the next three days unless I got some fried fish (who can fuck up fried fish? No one, that's who).
For the ride back, my parents would get some poelser and some bread and we eat those along the way, until the Swiss-border with Germany, afterwhich, we'd stop at the gästehaus for dinner, then the rest of the drive home to bed.
I have fond memories of Danmark, absolutely, but the food man... being third worst of the Germanic cuisines (if we omit Icelandic; Germanic cuisines are already the worst cuisine group in Europe) isn't much to defend.

As much as I like Denmark (girlfriend from here, been there several times, nice country overall), they really have a shitty cuisine. Well, shitty isn't the right word. It's just really bland and nothing special. They have god-tier ingredients (their meat, bread and vegetables are of excellent quality) but they don't know what to do with them. Also they have an obsession with organic and healthy food (which they do not eat anyway).

You think three days in Denmark - apparently as a child with your parents no less - gives you enough knowledge to judge the local cuisine? It doesn't entitle you to even the pretense of having an opinion, for god's sakes.

It also fucking bothers me that we eat the same fucking shit all year around. Ham, meatballs and fucking prinskorv at Christmas, Easter and midsummer. The only exception is our kräftskiva when we eat crayfish.

Finnish food must be the worst shit in the world. Tasteless. As someone mentioned earlier, bell pepper is to spicy for old Finns. My grandmother is Finnish and she throws up from eating it.
USA is pretty close after Finland. Tastes like carpet and synthetic ass.

God tier food: Danish(Why? Smørrebrød(with the best bread in the world), flæskesteg, remoulade, wienerbrød, Gammel Dansk, liver paste, frikadeller and delicious fish), Indian and Italian

ItaliAnon here.
Thanks for the vote of confidence in Italian food.
Have you been to the US? I thought American food was garbage before moving to the States. The food here is much better than the crap they export.
Of all countries, though, America, I think, has the worst localisations of world cuisine. Thankfully, it's not too hard to find the proper/authentic versions in the US, but when food from other cultures falls into the hands of Minnesotan housewives, it will most certainly be ruined beyond redemption.

Np. Risotto and cannelloni are two amazing dishes.

I have never been in the USA, so maybe I can't really say that their food is shit... But what I've tasted in so called authentic American restaurants(not McD's or other fast food restaurants), both in Sweden and other parts of Europe, has been horrible. Except for coleslaw or anything with hickory.
Although, I would believe that American fish and game would be pretty nice, since it's impossible to make this taste synthetic or bland.

I've found a bigger variety of food when we went to Sweden (:
You can really fancy up the traditional meat, vegetable, potatoes/rice, and gravy meal.

So, Farmor-in-law made us chicken legs, potatoes, and carrots in a gravy/broth/sauce type thing in the oven once. Another was turkey breast, broccoli, and new potatoes. Uncle made us a chicken/bacon/cream/broth stew, carrots, broccoli, and rice.

How comes The Netherlands haven't been mentioned? The only positive aspect of my nation's cuisine is of foreign descent, namely the Indonesian dishes that integrated into our society.

Typical Dutch meal: bland, starchy boiled potatoes, a shit-tier boiled vegetable of some kind, and a piece of meat, usually a meatball. No variation, no imagination.

As for the positive side, only the cheeses and pastries are decent. Stroopwafels!

Sweden, like much of the rest of Scandinavistan, is subject to a strange dichotomy. Let me form an example:

Swede in the summer:
"Hello stranger, do you have a penis? Can I use it for a moment, I lost my bicycle!"

Swede in the winter:
"..."
Translated:
"Is that fucker looking at me? I swear if he's looking at me I will either rip his throat out, or then shuffle quietly further away to stand quietly and not be looked at."

Bull fucking shit.
Sweden can be described in two words.
Alcohol, Fire.
That's what the whole country is about.
I don't know why they like to pretend they're all aspies. They're just hipster man-children that don't want to grow up. The get drunk, and they start fires.
Christmas. Alcohol and food, and more alcohol, and more alcohol, and more food. Then Santa comes and gives all the people presents.
Easter. Alcohol and herring, more alcohol, and oh yeah, more alcohol.
Midsummer. Alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, illegal bonfires.
Valborg. Alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, fire.
Every Wednesday, pub day. Every Friday, Party/get drunk day. Saturday drink away the hangover, Sunday is hangover day.
Payday (which is pretty much the same for every Swede every month) just means this all happens on a grander scale than the other weeks/weekends.

FFS if their holiday falls on a Sunday, they automatically get an extra day off so no one has to watch how much they drink.
Most Swedes don't every work a weekend a day in their life and they're all entitled little bitches who bitch about ONLY getting a months paid vacation, weekends off and two years for maternity leave (which both parents have to share).
God forbid you suggest they work past 8pm without getting paid overtime + extra for working "Uncomfortable hours".

Sweden is retarded from the ground up.

You sound unhappy, jealous and alcoholic. You know how I know? Because you pay attention to only the drinking, especially on the "exception" days such as holidays. And most of all you cry little ameribaby tears about it.

Modern Finnish cuisine is based around mechanically separated meat products, immigrant-made kebabs, and ammonium chloride.

Up to the 60s, Finland was poor as shit, with most of the population living in rural areas. Now that we have money, we can choose not to eat the potatoes of our forefathers and can instead import our cuisine from Turkey and Somalia.

Finns don't eat Finnish food because it sucks and we know it does.

As an American whose most recent immigrant relatives were Finnish I've always been really fascinated by traditional Finnish food... A smorgasbord of cloudberry jam, smoked herring, salmon soup, pork sausage, sauteed reindeer, cabbage rolls, mead, etc.. sounds great to me. Their desserts and cheeses look very good too(though I'm also a fan of German and British cuisine haha).

I really don't know of any regional cuisine I don't like come to think of it- all I've encountered have their high points and low points so far...

A bit of history for you, you uneducated fuck.
Belgian journalist Jo Gérard has claimed that a family manuscript dated 1781 recounts that potatoes were deep-fried prior to 1680 in what was then the Spanish Netherlands and is now present-day Belgium, in the Meuse valley: "The inhabitants of Namur, Andenne, and Dinant, had the custom of fishing in the Meuse for small fish and frying, especially among the poor, but when the river was frozen and fishing became hazardous, they cut potatoes in the form of small fish and put them in a fryer like those here".

HHGG is good, but Dirk Gently books/stories are better.
Haven't read the newest HHGG (the one written by Eóin Colfer), but I can't imagine it being as good as HHGG nor anywhere near as good as Dirk Gently.

Also, a friend from Derbyshire, UK, has likened living on the Isles to "living in gigantic tupperware." Another friend currently living on the Isle of Man (and desperately trying to get her husband to move to London) speaks similarly.
I just find the whole of the UK grey, cold and unwelcoming.
The food, though; it's not that bad, over there.
