Local cuisine from your country/area that you HATE

[Fynn]

So I know not a lot of people are familiar with Polish cuisine. And I can see why, since it's pretty unremarkable, what with most people simply eating pork chops everyday and herring on Friday because you can't eat meat, so what are you gonna eat but herring?



There's a lot of Polish food that I'm just kind of... "meh" about. Like I really never understood people who liked pierogi filled with fruit.

But then there's trout like this and I personally want to murder whoever invented it.



If you're wondering what that is, it's meat in jello.

How the f-

And I mean, it's really popular. Every holiday season people just gorge on it and I'm like





So, are there any disgusting things in your local cuisine that you'd like to share with us?

Two words fer ya: MAYONNAISE SALAD!



Gosh! I just can't stand it! It's simply disguisting!
My family make it and eat it once a month and I'm tired of this trout...

I kinda like mayonnaise salad, actually! But maybe that's because I eat it only occasionally, though

Goes nicely with tuna!

That meat in jelly looks like it's on the platter of a very rich cat.

Yoghurt salad is way better than this trout! XD
But OK, it's your taste - enjoy! :P

I will concede that our country's obsession with mayo and meat is terrible, though

Mr. Sam (Mr. Carny) absolutely loves mayonnaise and meat, so who knows, maybe he'll like meat in jello and mayo salad.

I'll go tell him about the meat in jello now...

... his response: "looks like cat food?!" *nervous laughter*.

That basically sums that up. But what about the mayo salad? "it doesn't look that appetizing..."

Unfortunately, Sam is unconvinced by the Polish cuisine. Do you guys have any good foods?

[Fynn]

I'll make another thread on good regional foods later

Most of what constitutes as Polish cuisine is pretty terrible, though. It's all fat and sauerkraut and sausages.

L&P is something from NZ I dislike. Promite, too, if that counts as local (I'm pretty sure it's not).

For Scotland, the list gets bigger. Haggis, black pudding, white pudding, urgh.

[Fynn]

What is L&P?

Oh, and we actually do black pudding in Poland too! I find it pretty tolerable. it's certainly better than jellied chicken.

Doesn't sound bad, but I'll trust you on that Fat chance I'll be visiting New Zealand anytime soon anyway.

Oh, loads of people (when I was in NZ) would look at me funny when I let them know I wasn't a fan. It's just one of those things. On paper, I should really like it, because I like pretty much all lemonade, but it just didn't find any favour with myself.

Pickled Pig's Feet is a thing in the South, among pretty much all demographics.

And chitlins. Omg I can't. Fun fact tho: they're actually called chitterlings.

I also don't like canned meats like spam and vienna sausages.

I dislike most Australian desserts, pavlova, lamingtons, anzac biscuits.

Tbf though, I don't really like any desserts so it's not like it's just the Australian ones.
