German portions are BADASS.

And as a Brit, I'm sorry our food is awful.

I've been in UK once for a week : the best thing I ate there was Burger King !

Hmm, you obviously never tried a good old pub lunch.

We still kick mcdonalds ass though, that craps awful.

Fast foods were the only things which didn't made me sick when I was in UK. I was in a british family for a week, and every dinner was a torture D:

hmms could it be impurity like well for US area if goto mexico and drink the water with out boiling it or not used to the food or water there [which most in north or what ever are not] you get the runs aka montazuma revenge.] [which is not a curse but your body no tused to the food or impurities int he water and stuff. like for US or rich area compared to slums rich area most time cleaner food and shiny and all that cliche. but after liveing on that all life then come down into slums and eat somthing which may not be as clean or shiny as rich area and you get sick due to body not adapted. stuff like that.

This could be partially connected, water can be very different in different areas of the UK and could affect the food. You have hard water and soft water areas http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_water

ye water quality does greatly effect what things taste like not just in terms of it being in the food but it affects your tastebuds, if your not used to it everything tastes a bit soapy.

Other than that the UK doesn't really have a style of food these days, we all just eat the stuff that's been introduced over the years like curry, pizza, kebabs. There are a few various regional dishes like Cottage Pie, Three Bird Game Roast and Yorkshire Pudding but they aren't anything special, just really soothing after a long day or if theirs lots of people over. I guess the best thing to try is traditional real ales and cheeses if you visit again.

As for the stereotypical foods like tripe and jellied eels, nobody eats that crap anymore, not since the 50's :S

Maybe the family were just crap cooks, or had no taste at all and took you out for garbage? We do have good food in the UK [and crap too, all countries do.]

McDonalds is the worst of the fast food chains by far and we do have much better food than even the best of the fast food outlets [I'm only still learning and even I make better food than any fast food place I've been to here.]

Note: I dislike my own country and many of our foods [curry is the national food and most curries we have are fucked up, you can't taste the flavors for the overdone heat.] I just feel that I should defend us a little as I know for a fact we make damn good food cause I make it myself and I've barely even started :3

I guess I was just going along with the stereotype, I don't actually think our food is that crap. Our food is delicious if you don't just stay with some family who burn salad. I can't disagree with the beer though. British ales are top class out of most countries I've visited.

Of course! Guinness is more of a stout than an ale though, mind you, even though it's an extremely unique one (that stuff is incredible, extra cold please). Pubs in general are great place to socialise with friends, family or just anyone really. Some local, smaller village pubs feel awkward if you're by yourself, but most people are welcoming. It seems after almost every event, whether it be a wedding or a funeral, the question comes up: "What now?" ".. pub?".

The thing is with American beers is... well, it's a different kind of beer really. It's often made in slightly different ways, meant to be enjoyed differently, but you do get shitty lagers here in the UK too, but recently ale sales have been surpasing lager, so it seems more people are switching to the good stuff. If you go to a weatherspoons pub, you can get a delicious pint of guest ale (locally brewed ales which are known as the "Guest Ales", which change every couple of weeks) for like.. £1.50 - £2 a pint and a hearty, feel good breakfast / lunch for a couple of quid more. SORTED.

Yep, there's some really good food and booze at Weatherspoons. I really need a job in a kitchen [training to be a chef] and I'd really like to work there [or walkabout, damn but roo is tasty :3] for a while.

I know belgium, but I have nothing to say about it! There's awesome beer for cheap, that's perfect for me !

Don't forget french fries.
They come from Belgium.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

There's a lot of good beers, but Gulden Draak is the best IMO!

Aye.. we germns enjoy huge portions. You want to feel full for your money right?

hahah glad i'm from germany :D but if you where the tester i discovered a mistake:
the guys hands are white, :D nor there are any watermelons or kfc buckets :D

Dat's wacist !

oii! The Netherlands has way better stuff then just MCDonalds D:

Yes : Burger king

And KFC too.

you should eat more healthy stuff man xD

hahaha I love the one about the British food

Heaven is where :
the police are British
the cooks are French
the mechanics are German
the lovers are Italian
and it is all organised by the Swiss.

Hell is where
the police are German
the cooks are English
the mechanics are French
the lovers are Swiss
and it is all organised by the Italians

Why is the German police bad? I never had any bad experiences with them. (Granted, I had pretty much no experiences with the police. For which I'm gratefull.)

Eins, Zwei, Polizei...

what the...
?

So true!

As a person from Poland I can partially agree with you there :P

My housemate is Polish and he loved Poland's entry in that table :D

It was a metaphor, but in fact it is very similar. For 20€ you can get like ~80 złotych so you can buy really nice meal for two people... And for the person who have 20€ it's shit

You forgot to mention that Vodka is an alternate currency in Poland ;3

German police: lack of humor and bureaucracy in abundance.

WRONG! Netherlands has no own food :P It's all stolen! ^^

All stolen and all bad :P

Stroopwafels and frikandellen are good though! But yeah..

We only got good snacks :(

No dinner.. Whatever, let's have some nice pasta!

Ooohh..I LOVE Frikandellen!

But its been 30+ years since I've had any :P

You went to the wrong pizzeria dude.

I was in Italy a month ago (in Milano), I had the same surprise-tax in two pizzeria :/

You were in Milano, that's why.
Should have tried some normal pizzeria in a smaller town.

Eat me~

And what happend in Spain he he? :P

I've been in spain 8 yrs ago, I don't remember how the food was. I guess it was not bad !

Oh jeeeez. ^^

We must show you Finnish food culture!

Indeed, I don't think that barbecue and beers is typically finnish! :D

Bratwurst \o/

Leberkäs

AND CURRYWURST!

DON'T FORGET THE BREZEL! AND THE WEIßBIER!

Huh, sorta want to go live in Germany forever now.

You forgot Sweden

Never been there, All I know from sweden is Ikea !

I was just about to say "Hey, IKEA has food!", but then I remembered it's pretty shit.
The food they serve there, I mean. They sometimes sell lingonberry jam and whatnot, and that's pretty awesome.

Die gute alte Bratwurst ;)

Sehr gut!

Woah. You hit the nail on the head. Italy really does charge you for the air you breathe within the restaurant, the fucks.

ahahahahah hahahahaha Suck it Nerd :3

pas mal du tout et veridique en plus xD. et l'espagne et le portugal, ça t'évoque quoi?

Grazie, stronzo! xD

So sadly true...

So did you eat like a horse there?

Fish and chips from Iceland's Cafe Duus is the way to go.

If I ever return to Iceland, I'm going to Keflavik. And I'm eating my heart out there at that little restaurant.

No wonder Australia ditched British food when we realized we're Asian/have very close by Asian neighbours.

I am going to be in Denmark and Sweden in a few days :D

I dunno. I liked Britain's food. I guess I'm just not that picky.

In that case, it's not that you're not picky. It's that you're braindead.

Charming.

I can take a joke, but I can't understand why Britain gets a bad reputation for food? Is it just because I've grown up eating it that I don't notice it?

We just know which places to avoid :3

As an American who lived in Germany, and sampled not only German but Belgian, Luxenbourg and Netherlands food, I have to say that the vast majority of what I ate that wasn't fast food was really delicious. There are always exceptions, just as there are exceptions here in the USA. But by and large, my eating experiences in Europe were pretty tasty. And don't get me started on doner kebabs. The fact that we don't have a doner kebab restaurant within remotely reasonable driving distance in the Northwest is a pure crime.

Now, British food? Ugghh. Let's not go there. It took one day to realize I was better off looking for fast food options, or name-brand pizzerias. It's a double whammy. The food is awful, AND expensive. :P

I just can't stop laughing at that hilarious BLARGH! pic for the UK! XD

You should try food down in here in Latinamerica. First panel should be OMG Tears of joy face and then second panel should be restroom full of fartsy-crappy sounds and a Oh God! This is how you punish me for being gay? comment.

I hate fast food from places like McDonalds, BurgerKing, so on.
I'm surprised you feel like Britain had crap. They have good dishes in my opinion and I've found a rare few things here in the States they make there. Surprisingly, stuff made like in the UK is great!
Surprisingly, I'm not British, and not fully white (about 2/3 white), and am an albino when you consider my skin condition... I like eating Asian and Middle-eastern style foods...

We have T.G.I FRIDAY'S!

WUT IS DAT

Best option: living in France.

As the CEO of a bank!

I love the food from all those places! :D

German food is the best

Nonsense, fish and chips are the bread and butter of the working class.

I will cook you the most wonderful, healthy pizza you could imagine on the condition that you consider it 'Canadian Cuisine'
.w.

Oh, I'm Italian and here a pizza cost like 6€... But you don't always have to pay the service xD
MEH, Fuck the pizza man, try some Lasagne alla Bolognese, well paid money for sure.
