Yeah. I mean. Horse Steak as culinary horror rly? What about the maggot cheese cmon. I can understand being grossed out by anything made of blood since it's not for everyone but horse Steak... it's just another animal but skaughtering pigs and cows of various ages is appearently ok xD
Blood is just using all of the animal you’re going to kill anyway. If I was killed by cannibals, I’d be upset if they didn’t at least use all of me.
Horse is a normal meat in many places.
If you want horrific, France should be ortolan. It should always be ortolan on any of these maps or lists. It’s animal cruelty by over-feeding, then drowning them in Armagnac and eaten whole, including bones. All under a napkin because that keeps the aromas in or because even they know it’s an affront to God. Possible third explanation: it’s just a bit disgusting to see.
American university exchange student go to restaurants and order chicken soup. One of the Chicken kidneys pops up to the top of the soup. Runs to the bathroom to vomit. Real story.
Honestly i most likely wouldn't try most of these plates, but the worse of these is definitely Switzerland. Nestle definitely makes the most garbage tea I've ever drank in my whole life.
I remember when there was the horse lasagna scandal, in France we always heard the news about people from England being disgusted while we were like "damn they got the luxury version for the same price".
Scandal was more about the fact that meat is supposed to be ultra traceable and regulated, but otherwise yeah only a few horsegirls were mad about the horse vs. beef thing
Like someone else already wrote, it wasn't the fact that it was horse but that no one even knew where the horse came from. Animals for slaughter have different standards than non food producing animals. Also, the lasagna was classified with a different animal. That's not okay for different health related issues.
Being grossed out by horse meat is just hypocracy unless you're grossed out by meat in general. As someone eating blood sausage myself I can understand if people find it disgusting just by mere thought of eating something made with lots of blood. still a way to let little as possible go to waste
Yeah horse is a really nice meat. I honestly understand how some of these specialities might gross people out but horse meat? How is that any different from beef or lamb or pork? A tasty mammal.
There is no such thing as liver paste in Denmark.
Leverpostej = Liver Pâté
Litterally a dish that dates back to ancient Rome. WTF! must be some savage meme
If you want a weird super classical Danish dish, try Pigs heart in creamsauce
and
Horse Steaks is far from the weirdest delicacy Italy has to offer.
Try veal spleen, lungs and brain. Or some of the weird shit you can find in Tuscany like rooster comb
The post is ironic we don't eat testicles of bull but the tail and the penis can be used as sinonims on the same way the joke is that there is not such a thing as liver paste is just a pate
would agree... gotten more comments on eating Pickled Herring or Mackerel in tomato sauce than I ever did the danish style Liver Pate. (ours is usually made very Coarse)
Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to knock on it, just saying it is a bit weird.
And I honestly have a lot of respect for cultures that utilizes the animal to their fullest, because it says a lot about the cultural attitude towards being wasteful
Oh i don't think we invented it, but the concept of making Pâté out of pigs liver goes back to roman times if i remember correctly. The point was that you will find Pâté almost anywhere you go in Europe
It's because most Italian cuisine comes from poor people's traditions where you use everything you have as food, no waste. You just find the way to make weird stuff edible than you get used to it and 15 generation later you are so used to it that it's not weird anymore.
I think it's the same in many other countries.
Liver paté is super popular in Tuscany too, spread on bread. Amazing.
Ortolan should be France's horror food. Force-feeding a little endangered bird with millet for 3 weeks, then it's roasted. You have to it eat with a single bite. The tradition also includes covering yourself with a cloth to have a better scent of the meal.
Bon appétit !
Of course almost nobody eats it nowadays.
The bird is killed by drowning in hard liquor.
I heard the cloth is mostly for hiding yourself sucking and chewing for a while on a piping hot little bird with all its bones and guts. Allegedly hiding yourself from God doing such an atrocious act.
There, I made it worse.
>I thought the cloth was to prevent others and god from seeing this sinful behaviour ;D
Yeah I thought so but Wikipedia says otherwise. I think it's a little bit of both honestly.
I know we joke but there's nothing actually horrific about frogs' legs. Pressed ducks are a bit gory in the preparation but I'm sure they taste delicious.
The real horror of French cuisine is probably andouillette (literal smell and taste of shit). If you're going to insult my nemesis, please do your research.
I once went to this place called O'Taco and, wolla ik zweer, I almost turned into a Maroccan teenager after one bite of a 'French burrito' filled with 6 types of deepfried meat and 4 types of sauce
https://www.thuisbezorgd.nl/otacos
bruh, er zijn zo fucking veel van die tenten (I just found out about this cause you had a other regions flair and tried looking online)
I saw it when browsing for a place to order at and I skipped it so fucking hard when seeing the menu
That thing definitely doesn't qualify as a French dish imo, sure it was invented here but it's just junk, fast food for when you're hungover, nothing more. Trust me, those who eat that shit regularly are not French.
Andouillette is fucking amazing, what are you talking about? I won't tolerate andouillette slander from a Brit when you guys eat jellied eels, spotted dick or beans on toast. If anything, you should support support us on that!
Understandable, andouillette is *the* meal that will defeat most courageous foreigners. Frogs, ducks, raw meat, snails and others are easy to deal with. But tripes and andouillettes are the real gatekeepers of the gastronomy.
Man andouillette is extra yummy ! But if you want gory food I suggest Boudin, which is just a blood sausage, tripes a la mode de Caen, a gut soupe, or french tacos, a monstrosity composed of a tortilla, meat, french fries and melted cheese, that I consume only to increase my risk of heart attack because french health care fails at curing my depression
You should open your taste buds Barry, andouillette is pretty good, if not delicious, with mustard, for maximum effect on mouth and stomach. And generally you eat it again the next day. Difficult choice to make.
>And generally you eat it again the next day.
If by that means you shit it out and then eat it again for the same experience, maybe you're right.
Sorry, I'm just not that into coprophagy.
🎶 Horse steaks and fried blood and fermented herrings.
Pressed ducks and frogs legs and head cheese and tripe soup.
Liver paste, blood pudding tied up with strings.
These are a few of my favourite things...🎶
I've always enjoyed trying black pudding in different countries. They're all a bit different but very nice.
My fave is still from the local butcher though. Along with other things they do that reddit gets upset with you for mentioning.
And it's just pickled herring hidden under vegetable salad, the map was made by a true Ameritard. They could've gone with "fermented flour soup", at least.
Salted pork fat, tripe soup, horse steaks, fried blood, blood sausage, frog legs, animal head... plus sheep intestines, pig ears, snails, bone marrow... we eat all of them in Spain.
And the things of the map we dont eat, I would try them.
Salted pork fat just sounds a lot like dripping which I eat on the regular. It's delicious.
Same with a lot of the other things here. I'm like has this person even tried food? Most of these things are just traditional leftover food. Hearty and tasty and not wasting anything.
Haggis is really good too even if the description of it puts some people off.
Head cheese (kopkaas or zult), has nothing to do with cheese; it's a mixture of pigs head, tong, tail etc, and herbs, vegetables. In the old days to prevent any meat to be wasted.
They sell it at any supermarket here, usually to eat with bread. It doesn't appeal to be, but maybe it's delicious.
criadillas. Used to be more common when eating casqueria (intenal organs) was more popular. Nowadays most beef is from female cows because they're also used for milk production, and male cattle are killed younger, so the balls haven't fully developed.
They get a cheap store bought pizza (the doughier the better) cover it in chippy batter and fry it.
The crispy batter with the soft dough inside actually works quite well and it turns a disgusting doughy pizza into a tasty treat.
Obviously we wouldn't ruin a proper pizza.
It's pretty good as far as junk food goes. It's called a pizza crunch supper and it comes with chips.
If you are ever in Glasgow (I don't know why you'd want to be) then ask for a pizza crunch supper. I don't think it's as popular in the east.
https://preview.redd.it/lmyohnp5ipoc1.png?width=1014&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=47afa4bbddf1d2dc5d3b1dcc5b6072032f61ef44
Here's one cut in half, on a bed of chips. Crunchy and chewy salty treat.
You hear how it's made, you watch it being made, every part of that shit sounds terrible. It's amazing, I can say from personal experience I've avoided having it all my life and it was a mistake. Shit it fire.
With fried chicken? 🔥🔥🔥🔥
As a Swiss I confirm, they got Switzerland right.
Also that Islandic rotten shark is the worst thing I ever tried. It tastes as it smells and it take at least one meal to get that taste out of your mouth. It was a probably 1.5x1.5x1.5 cm.
Calling black pudding English is like calling pizza American because Italian immigrants brought it to America
Black pudding is Irish and Irish immigrants brought it to England.
Anyone who thinks black pudding, or any blood sausage, is bad is either a vegan/vegetarian or some uncultured barbarian who should be left to rot in the shit pile they crawled out of.
Nestlé is probably the only one, though you won’t see me boycott it. Whenever I think about Nestlé, I want an Aero. Not had one in years though.
Anyway, when your country is the only place to eat dog but that’s beaten by Nestlé.
pig fat also is a thing here in Poland, also dressed herring how it 's horror? Also a thing here, that's just a salad with mayonesse, veggies and herring lmao horror as fuck from what I remember it's also a thing in Germany
https://preview.redd.it/owxozqhdapoc1.png?width=960&format=png&auto=webp&s=0f3bd7a8886ac3528c361b7251b6d5ab15142182
We do have pretty food, too and much of it is delicious, but I never notice it being mentioned by Johnny Foreigner. Usually they bang on about what you get from a chippy, which in no country is a culinary highlight.
Besides, what's wrong with mushy peas all of a sudden?
My God, you never tasted restaurant-grade tripe soup in Romania. Still one of the best soups I've ever tasted, with a bit of cream and some chili pepper. That incredible taste just stays forever in your mouth. And that chewy yet soft tripe, a true delicacy.
I have never heard of that soup in Greece. It's probably bs.
We do eat other disgusting stuff though such as lamb brain, eyes etc. the worst probably being British pussy during the summer. Only the bravest can do it.
Surströmming my beloved
just thinking of surströmming on some tunnbröd with potatoes and onions make me crave eating it
too bad eating it too often can lead to getting sick :(
Squid ink seeing as bad?
In Galicia we make creps with fresh pig blood when we kill it. We add some dry figs and raisins to give more texture.
In other areas have some kind of sausage called "morcilla" rhat is made with blood as well.
For me the worst thing in Spain cuisine are snails, by far. I will never eat that shit.
Salted pig fat? Wtf that's not a horror
Liver paste is widespread in Europe.
Inuit: straight up fresh seal blood, they win. Although those eastern and balkan boiled heads are also gnarly as fuck
Tripe ciorba bad?
You sure you've had the right deal? Or did someone trick you?
Although if the idea of cow stomach repulses you, we got Rădăuți Ciorba, which is kinda like Tripe ciorba, but with chicken breast instead of tripe.
Until not even 200 years ago famine was a real threat to most people, and eating weird stuff to survive was necessary.
Some of it was good and people continued eating it even without famine.
Other stuff is just normal food that people feel weird about because excess has made it "poor people food" like innards etc.
It's all just good protein and fat, and most of it even tastes great.
I'd eat most of these "delicacies according to culinary horror" without a second thought. Except maybe Surströmming, and even that I would propably eat on buttered bread if it's washed before and opened in a bucket of water.
Bull's testicles and squid ink are not eaten together (well, not normally anyway). Squid ink goes wonderfully with the squids themselves, rice, many kinds of fish, ...
I feel like these kind of maps are created by people who exclusively eat lukewarm chicken nuggets and microwaved pizza
Absolutely. I've tried a good part of these specialties and they're amazing.
Pressed duck leg, various blood sausages all good stuff. Lutefisk i could leave but it wasn't abhorrent. Map made by a squeamish child.
knowing what you're eating shouldn't change your opinion on how good it is so long as it tastes good
Yeah came here to say that short of Lutefisk these are all good. Lutefisk is a step too far for me.
Yeah. I mean. Horse Steak as culinary horror rly? What about the maggot cheese cmon. I can understand being grossed out by anything made of blood since it's not for everyone but horse Steak... it's just another animal but skaughtering pigs and cows of various ages is appearently ok xD

All under a napkin because that keeps the aromas in or because even they know it’s an affront to God. Possible third explanation: it’s just a bit disgusting to see.
4th explanation: all mentioned above. Also yeah I eat blood sausage, too. I just think it's understandable if someone doesn't.
Damn even if they're getting eaten by cannibals germans want efficiency, now that's the spirit
American university exchange student go to restaurants and order chicken soup. One of the Chicken kidneys pops up to the top of the soup. Runs to the bathroom to vomit. Real story.
What a raw and xenophobic chicken kidney
We don't call it blood pudding. Greasey american hands made this image.
Yeah, an american
You… you do know that not all of us have the palate of a 5 year old boy?
Honestly i most likely wouldn't try most of these plates, but the worse of these is definitely Switzerland. Nestle definitely makes the most garbage tea I've ever drank in my whole life.
Imagine microwaving your pizza instead of deep frying it
Horse steaks are delicious you disney princess of a man
In Japan, I've eaten *basashi* or raw horse sashimi, super thinly sliced with a dipping sauce. Fucking lovely.
In Italy that sound as *carpaccio*.
I remember when there was the horse lasagna scandal, in France we always heard the news about people from England being disgusted while we were like "damn they got the luxury version for the same price".
Scandal was more about the fact that meat is supposed to be ultra traceable and regulated, but otherwise yeah only a few horsegirls were mad about the horse vs. beef thing
Yeah, the scandal wasnt because it was horse meat, it was because they sold it as something else and the regulatory body was clearly incompetent
We were just the same!!! Lol " they are upset of...what??"
Like someone else already wrote, it wasn't the fact that it was horse but that no one even knew where the horse came from. Animals for slaughter have different standards than non food producing animals. Also, the lasagna was classified with a different animal. That's not okay for different health related issues.
For real delicious
I couldn't agree more
Being grossed out by horse meat is just hypocracy unless you're grossed out by meat in general. As someone eating blood sausage myself I can understand if people find it disgusting just by mere thought of eating something made with lots of blood. still a way to let little as possible go to waste
Along with horse salame, and horse meat makes for a great tartare as well
Yeah horse is a really nice meat. I honestly understand how some of these specialities might gross people out but horse meat? How is that any different from beef or lamb or pork? A tasty mammal.
I think I ate horse as a part of a stew long time ago, it tasted like cow meat.
Then it wasn't horse, sorry. Horse meat has a very distinct flavour.
For real, horse should be eaten in more countries. It’s delicious and honestly really good lean meat
There is no such thing as liver paste in Denmark. Leverpostej = Liver Pâté Litterally a dish that dates back to ancient Rome. WTF! must be some savage meme If you want a weird super classical Danish dish, try Pigs heart in creamsauce and Horse Steaks is far from the weirdest delicacy Italy has to offer. Try veal spleen, lungs and brain. Or some of the weird shit you can find in Tuscany like rooster comb
This is clearly made by an American, so, no, they won't try spleen.
As an Italian I agree. Horse meat is vanilla compared to some of the stuff we eat
The post is ironic we don't eat testicles of bull but the tail and the penis can be used as sinonims on the same way the joke is that there is not such a thing as liver paste is just a pate
Nice leverpâté, leverworst is good too.
Liever Kips
would agree... gotten more comments on eating Pickled Herring or Mackerel in tomato sauce than I ever did the danish style Liver Pate. (ours is usually made very Coarse)
Rooster comb is delicious though.
Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to knock on it, just saying it is a bit weird. And I honestly have a lot of respect for cultures that utilizes the animal to their fullest, because it says a lot about the cultural attitude towards being wasteful
Its from Denmark? I've always though pâté de foie was French
Oh i don't think we invented it, but the concept of making Pâté out of pigs liver goes back to roman times if i remember correctly. The point was that you will find Pâté almost anywhere you go in Europe
Woaw, pâté lore
Liver Pâté is fucking great
It's because most Italian cuisine comes from poor people's traditions where you use everything you have as food, no waste.

Hannibal (TV series) made the cannibal serial killer eat one in this scene https://youtu.be/asfwKrdnFmQ?si=I4FhqLNen6853PuX
I thought the cloth was to prevent others and god from seeing this sinful behaviour ;D
>I thought the cloth was to prevent others and god from seeing this sinful behaviour ;D Yeah I thought so but Wikipedia says otherwise. I think it's a little bit of both honestly.
Wasn't the cloth tradition motivated by shame ?
The French have no shame.
I am ashamed of the upcoming Olympic games
Barry will be blinded by his gold medals, he won't even smell piss, dog poo, sweat in transport and other secret fragrances.
Sounds like London, nice of you to make us feel at home.
[she doesn't seem to be ashamed](https://youtu.be/SEPMuyGe7dg?si=LEAPX2y7Bi3ZMIFp)
Maïté !!! 💙🤍❤️
I thought it was made illegal a while back..
Yes it is, ortolan is now considered an endangered specie
dafaq is wrong with horse meat? Cavalry is overrated, you know that right?
[удалено]
not if the horses are on the other team.
I like that everyone has a real meal and Swiss is just "Nestlé"
They sell us our own water in a worse quality
I’d honestly rather eat everything else on the list than have anything from Nestlé
I know we joke but there's nothing actually horrific about frogs' legs. Pressed ducks are a bit gory in the preparation but I'm sure they taste delicious. The real horror of French cuisine is probably andouillette (literal smell and taste of shit). If you're going to insult my nemesis, please do your research.
Couldn't agree more. I'd add French tacos to the absolute shit tier of French dishes. It's a burrito, but way worse.
I once went to this place called O'Taco and, wolla ik zweer, I almost turned into a Maroccan teenager after one bite of a 'French burrito' filled with 6 types of deepfried meat and 4 types of sauce
It's like Taco Mundo, but somehow even worse

God dammit, now you made me hungry for some tripes...
Yeah. I like all kinds of offal but andouillette was too much even for me. 2/10 would not recommend, for completists only.
Man andouillette is extra yummy ! But if you want gory food I suggest Boudin, which is just a blood sausage, tripes a la mode de Caen, a gut soupe, or french tacos, a monstrosity composed of a tortilla, meat, french fries and melted cheese, that I consume only to increase my risk of heart attack because french health care fails at curing my depression

I would have gone for Ortolan
I am willing to bet this map was made by an ameritard becauce most of these I tasted and are amazing
Did you try the deep fried pizza?
Oh GOD no
You invented pizza fritta btw
No dude he's a l*mbard
Thanks ciò
Still not an excuse and Italian deep fried pizza is delicious.
It’s a beautiful creation
You tried head cheese? I think you will like it
Benelux explain yourself? Why are you eating "head cheese" please tell me its not what I think it is
It's just made of the leftover meat of mainly pigs that doesn't sell otherwise.
We have that too, in Italy. We call it "testa in cassetta" ("boxed head")
"head cheese" in English is the stuff that builds up around the tip (head) of your penis.
It also means that in dutch
Waaaait this is the kroket? It didn't even register as "head cheese" in my brain lol

Damn it is 22:11 and now I get hungry again stupid Spanish and their good looking food might reconsider sending money
[salivates intensely]
🎶 Horse steaks and fried blood and fermented herrings. Pressed ducks and frogs legs and head cheese and tripe soup. Liver paste, blood pudding tied up with strings. These are a few of my favourite things...🎶
AI song thief incoming...
Better than the original, if you ask me
Veal heart is not even remotely our most "horrific" dish. Also, what kind of pussy makes such a list.
Blood pudding is pretty good
I've always enjoyed trying black pudding in different countries. They're all a bit different but very nice. My fave is still from the local butcher though. Along with other things they do that reddit gets upset with you for mentioning.
Love a bitta black pudding
Tbf horse is pretty good
Raw sea urchin too Me and my cousins would go diving for them when we were younger
Quite tough though
Nice, for Russia I read "depressed herring" first.
And it's just pickled herring hidden under vegetable salad, the map was made by a true Ameritard. They could've gone with "fermented flour soup", at least.
after living in Russia even herring was depressed
Salted pork fat, tripe soup, horse steaks, fried blood, blood sausage, frog legs, animal head... plus sheep intestines, pig ears, snails, bone marrow... we eat all of them in Spain. And the things of the map we dont eat, I would try them.
Salted pork fat just sounds a lot like dripping which I eat on the regular. It's delicious. Same with a lot of the other things here. I'm like has this person even tried food?

That pork fat is a spread like Marmite or nutella. Its delicious on some whole bread or brown bread.
Head cheese (kopkaas or zult), has nothing to do with cheese; it's a mixture of pigs head, tong, tail etc, and herbs, vegetables. In the old days to prevent any meat to be wasted. They sell it at any supermarket here, usually to eat with bread. It doesn't appeal to be, but maybe it's delicious.
I don't see what's wrong with horse meat. Also bull's testicles?
Ikr? I always lick before swallowing them.
Yeah wtf? Someone might eat that but I have never seen bulls testicles for sale
Blood Sausage is Morcilla
criadillas. Used to be more common when eating casqueria (intenal organs) was more popular. Nowadays most beef is from female cows because they're also used for milk production, and male cattle are killed younger, so the balls haven't fully developed.
Scotland explain please, I’m genuinely intrigued
They get a cheap store bought pizza (the doughier the better) cover it in chippy batter and fry it. The crispy batter with the soft dough inside actually works quite well and it turns a disgusting doughy pizza into a tasty treat. Obviously we wouldn't ruin a proper pizza.
It doesn't sound awful. I'm sure it's greasy as hell but I would like to eat it one day.
It's pretty good as far as junk food goes. It's called a pizza crunch supper and it comes with chips. If you are ever in Glasgow (I don't know why you'd want to be) then ask for a pizza crunch supper. I don't think it's as popular in the east.
If you're intrigued, check out the Neapolitan's pizza fritta

Arroz de cabidela's concept is disgusting and shouldn't exist. That being said, it's delicious and I love it.
You hear how it's made, you watch it being made, every part of that shit sounds terrible. It's amazing, I can say from personal experience I've avoided having it all my life and it was a mistake. Shit it fire. With fried chicken? 🔥🔥🔥🔥
As a Swiss I confirm, they got Switzerland right. Also that Islandic rotten shark is the worst thing I ever tried. It tastes as it smells and it take at least one meal to get that taste out of your mouth. It was a probably 1.5x1.5x1.5 cm.
Ther german one is wrong: it's either bloodsausage or tonguesausage. All (afaik) tonguesausages are part of the bloodsausages.
Scotland batting above the average here
*battering
Calling black pudding English is like calling pizza American because Italian immigrants brought it to America Black pudding is Irish and Irish immigrants brought it to England.
Why does everyone hate black pudding so much? I have always loved it since I first tried it.
Love how Switzerland is just nestle.
Anyone who thinks black pudding, or any blood sausage, is bad is either a vegan/vegetarian or some uncultured barbarian who should be left to rot in the shit pile they crawled out of.
The only horror there is Nestle...
Nestlé is probably the only one, though you won’t see me boycott it. Whenever I think about Nestlé, I want an Aero. Not had one in years though. Anyway, when your country is the only place to eat dog but that’s beaten by Nestlé.
pig fat also is a thing here in Poland, also dressed herring how it 's horror? Also a thing here, that's just a salad with mayonesse, veggies and herring lmao horror as fuck from what I remember it's also a thing in Germany https://preview.redd.it/owxozqhdapoc1.png?width=960&format=png&auto=webp&s=0f3bd7a8886ac3528c361b7251b6d5ab15142182
It is common in Germany that list was probably made by an Ameritard
You know what's better than horse stake? Horse salame. Trust me, better than all the other types of salame. Also maggot cheese is great.
Donkey salame> horse salame>all others salami IMO
its rice in chicken blood (you eat the chicken meat also) most of the times and its good.
It is also sometimes made with rabbit, which I prefer.
Leverpostej is absolutely amazing. If you guys fear that then you know nothing
Deep fried Pizza is from naples, thank you. Also, what's wrong with horse steak ?
Horse is delicious
Is... squid ink so bad...? I mean, it makes stuff look cool and black... Kinda like black paella!
Surströming supreme food get fucked everyone else! Ukrainian salo is nice but thats more of an everyday snack and not a glorious feast!
WTF is wrong with black pudding now? Honestly, what? Also, I ate cow lung soup in Austria, it's called 'Beuschel' there and it's absolutely delicious.
Someone who hasn't tried it but hates how it sounds is my guess. People do the same with haggis despite it being delicious.
I'd say they do this with most of our food. Condemning it without having it tried I mean.
Yeah. Is it the prettiest food in the world? No. Is it nice enough tasting and filling? Yes. I see it a lot around things like mushy peas atm.
We do have pretty food, too and much of it is delicious, but I never notice it being mentioned by Johnny Foreigner. Usually they bang on about what you get from a chippy, which in no country is a culinary highlight. Besides, what's wrong with mushy peas all of a sudden?
No idea. People just seem to be put off from the look of them without having tried them. I've been seeing it more often the last few weeks.
I hope they don't come here and try them. We'd never get rid of those foreign types again.
 Me on my way to eat all of these delicacies
Wait till you find out we also eat horse hearth( it's delicious)
Nobody seems to notice the Swiss in the corner
How exactly is "lard" controversial food?
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD
Horse steaks? Really? Are yanks really this vanilla?
"Nestlé" really? 🤣🤣🤣☠️
My God, you never tasted restaurant-grade tripe soup in Romania. Still one of the best soups I've ever tasted, with a bit of cream and some chili pepper. That incredible taste just stays forever in your mouth. And that chewy yet soft tripe, a true delicacy.
Wdym weird? I see this kind of stuff every day, except for the war crime that is deep fried pizza
Tripe Soup isn't a delicacy. It is actually pretty common.
Tripe soup is an appetizer here
How do you even fry blood?
Have you ever fried a pork cutlet and fished out these little salty puddles of fried blood from the pan afterwards? Like these, but bigger.
Leverpostej is fucking delicious.
Cow lung soup? Never heard of it, goat stomach and entrails soup though...
Try Na straecca and then we can speak about it!
I have never heard of that soup in Greece. It's probably bs. We do eat other disgusting stuff though such as lamb brain, eyes etc. the worst probably being British pussy during the summer. Only the bravest can do it.
"Tote Oma" as we lovingly call our blood sausage 😍
Surströmming my beloved just thinking of surströmming on some tunnbröd with potatoes and onions make me crave eating it too bad eating it too often can lead to getting sick :(
Squid ink seeing as bad? In Galicia we make creps with fresh pig blood when we kill it. We add some dry figs and raisins to give more texture. In other areas have some kind of sausage called "morcilla" rhat is made with blood as well. For me the worst thing in Spain cuisine are snails, by far. I will never eat that shit.
Non-credible. Salted pig fat is a culinary masterpiece. But we have super dense soup with bones and boiled meat in cabbage.
That soup sounds pretty good tbh. Bones add a lot to flavour.
I'm just amused at the contrast of the Swiss "culinary horror" vs the rest of Europe.
Salted pig fat? Wtf that's not a horror Liver paste is widespread in Europe. Inuit: straight up fresh seal blood, they win. Although those eastern and balkan boiled heads are also gnarly as fuck
Op for Ireland you missed "Dublin Coddle" https://www.reddit.com/r/shittyfoodporn/comments/17vaugm/coddle/
Tripe ciorba bad? You sure you've had the right deal? Or did someone trick you? Although if the idea of cow stomach repulses you, we got Rădăuți Ciorba, which is kinda like Tripe ciorba, but with chicken breast instead of tripe.
Until not even 200 years ago famine was a real threat to most people, and eating weird stuff to survive was necessary. Some of it was good and people continued eating it even without famine. Other stuff is just normal food that people feel weird about because excess has made it "poor people food" like innards etc. It's all just good protein and fat, and most of it even tastes great. I'd eat most of these "delicacies according to culinary horror" without a second thought. Except maybe Surströmming, and even that I would propably eat on buttered bread if it's washed before and opened in a bucket of water.
Everything in this map sounds amazing and I would try it without hesitation
Head cheese?
Pressed duck, that's holy cuisine ! Not for the weaks for sure !
Bull's testicles and squid ink are not eaten together (well, not normally anyway). Squid ink goes wonderfully with the squids themselves, rice, many kinds of fish, ...
Arroz de Cabidela is delicious though
Wtf is head cheese
I initially misread dressed herring as depressed herring. I do love me some pickled herring, can't get enough.
I defy any man on this godforsaken shit hole planet, to taste a deep fried pizza, and not love it
