All Caribbean Fare. Fried, mushy, yuck.

That's easy: Sweden. Surstromming. Rotted fish is considered a delicacy. Also Lutefisk.

Moroccan
Philippino
Ethiopian
Sri Lankan

Bolivian food too much over cooked meat no veggies, Fried meat!!! Freeze dried potatoes, they hardly eat quinoa as its too expensive, no flavor added just terrible.

English food may not be universally awesome, but you can generally eat well there, especially if you stick to seafood. A good Dover sole or a Dory is a delicious meal!

England has been lacking in an enthusiasm for great cooks and cooking especially in the last century, but it does have amazing and hyper regional food traditions that are well worth exploring. There is a rediscovery of traditional foodways underway there. There are wonderful, exotic to us, recipes for fish and game and their savory pie tradition is fairly unknown to the outside world. If you have a sweet tooth, English traditional desserts are so much fun, varied, creative, indulgent, also very accessible for home cooking.

Scotland and Ireland are umm more spartan.... I can only be glad the ancestors came here and happily met immigrant Italians.

I hated the food in Germany. No fresh fish at all (for obvious reasons). Uggh on sausages. Everything on the menu listed as roasted or broiled came fried. All the chicken was tired and old.

Ugh. Agreed. I ordered lasagna once in a pub (I know, I should have known better, but I was trying to go meatless because of the Mad Cow thing, and frankly the alternatives sounded a lot worse). It was a bunch of overcooked noodles with ketchup and cheddar cheese between them and it was served with greasy fries. Everything in Scotland was served with fries. At least the beer was good!

On the flip side, the Italians (my peeps!) have the world's best cuisine!

You certainly have every right to be proud of your peeps! I truly love Italian food!!

The best meal I had in Ireland was at an Italian restaurant!

I lived in Manila for three months and avoided the nasty adobo after the first time I tried it. Lumpish is a cheap knockoff of spring rolls. Stuck to the Japanese, Chinese, Italian, korean, Indian, Vietnamese restaurants. Anything but nasty adobo.

Really? I haven't eaten Cambodian food, but I find Indian food fascinating. My husband and I travelled to India for 7 days, and although we didn't necessarily love the country, we found the people very friendly and the food out of this world. I have eaten Ethiopian a few times and have enjoyed it very much.

Cambodian food is awesome. Looove their curries. Used to go to a really popular one in CA. Hole in the wall with long lines. Haven't found one around MoCo.

Even Brits would generally agree.

Prime rib roast, Yorkshire pudding, Brussels sprouts, roasted potatoes, gravy?

Sorry. I do that every Christmas. It's a traditional Sunday dinner. Everything is down to how you do it, the skills or the cook, and the raw ingredients.

Lived in England for a couple of years and the food was awful ..... I mean really bad.

When roast beef was served it was a sliver of beef, Brussel sprouts and most vegetable were just boiled, Yorkshire pudding seemed like a weird dish, hardly ever had roasted potatoes but did have lots of plain boiled potatoes. Fish was either fish and chips or poached fish without any seasonings. The only seasonings offered were salt and pepper.

On a recent visit, it had improved somewhat probably the effect of other cuisines influencing English fare.

What I will say is that when I did my two year stint there, people were fairly fit and not overweight - it was before fast food made its full impact. But that has changed and people are not anywhere near as overweight as they are here but obesity is becoming a problem there as well.

Not really true. People in the UK are nearly as obese as they are here.
