I was watching Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives on TV and they did a segment on Polish food. It sounded interesting so I did a search in my area, found Taste of Poland in Plano, and gave it a try. Been there; done that; won't go again. Second on my list might be Malaysian food. I had a year of that in K. L. (Indonesian is only slightly better.) Strange that Malaysian and Indonesian is so mediocre when Singaporean, Thai and Vietnamese are all in the same general neighborhood, and all are excellent cuisine. | ||

No replies? We all must just like any kind of food. My least favorite is anything BLAND! | |||

Anything made with Malaysian red curry, especially fish. Ugh! I hear you talking, Kensco. . | |||

My vote is Mexican. I've had it made by a Mexican woman. Found it fairly bland and uninspired. There are a couple things that are OK but for the most part I'll take a pass. | |||

Paleo, then Mexican then Italian. ------------------------------ A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!" | |||

I was in Polans last year on business and my reaction was opposite to yours. The food was great! I also had the pleasure of being invited to a reception with polish food in Brussels at a later stage. also there I was impressed.. Of course Texas is a bit far away from Poland....perhaps the food lost it's touch on the way...  [IMG]http://ladda- upp.se/files/2015/b175880.jpg[/IMG] fat chicks inc. | |||

Grits!!!! Howendahell does anybody eat that stuff? I can see patching drywall or driveways, but food? An I know; if you slather enough butter and honey on it is good, right? A stick would be good with that much honey and butter on it. We Okies are pretty damn poor, but...damn it! | |||

Poi falls into the "is it food or a building material" category. Could pass for glazing compound, tastes like mud. | |||
|
| one of us |
+1 for poi. Nasty stuff. I've not returned to Hawaii since 1984 because of my fear of poi. Definitely building material. | |||

I think there is great food in almost every 'ethnic' food. However, if were are to generalize and grade each country on the overall effort of their culinary arts, I would put the UK fairly high on the list of offal cuisine.

I feel the same way about corn bread and stuffing / dressing. | |||

I'm sorry I started this thread now. Corn bread??? Really??? Indian food??? I have a redneck friend from East Texas that feels the same way about Indian food. Try Murgh Makhani (Butter Chicken) with Dal Makhani (called Black Dal, which is slow-cooked black lentils, red beans, butter and cream), and naan bread (oven-cooked flat bread_. It is about as Western as Indian food gets. Excellent! Probably the first Indian meal a person should have if he's inexperienced or unsure about Indian food. | |||

I can understand why people don't like grits. I suppose, like beer, and many other of the best things in life, it is an acquired taste. Personally, I love them with some butter and salt, not to mention shrimp and cheese but to each his own. However, to not like corn bread and dressing....Now that's crossing a line, sometimes known as the Mason Dixon Line. How could anyone not like good cornbread and dressing? Geesh, no accounting for tastes or the lack thereof. That said, chacun a son gout and bon appetite, said the man as he kissed the cow. xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere. NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR. I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process. | |||

Kensco I see I hit a nerve. Did you, or did you not ask "...and your least favorite "foreign" food?" What did you expect, kumbaya? It's not like I said the odor of Indian food reminds me of the smell of microwaved vomit. But I could have. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |||

I ate escargot in France + loved it;had Hagas in Scotland once but never again. I agree Gato,corn bread ,dressing, grits + gravy is hard to beat. Never mistake motion for action. | |||

Anything way to spicy, regardless of where it is from. If my guts are burning a day after it makes the least favorite list. Seams recently it is the fad to spice it up with Habanero extract, it just makes food hot not better. Let me add a single worst food, Vegemite Mark | |||

+1 on Vegemite as well. Nasty stuff! | |||

Lost Okie, You've just never had grits done right. And there's lots of ways. But the very best way I've ever had them is to prepare the grits the normal way, but don't eat them right then. Put them in a loaf pan and put them in the refrigerator overnight. Use the loaf pan as a mold. So you dump out your grits loaf and slice it into slices about 1/2" thick. Then fry the slices in bacon grease. Now that's good, breakfast, lunch or dinner. | |||

That said, the absolute worst I've had (in Tanzania)is closely related to grits -- ugali, along with these little sundried fishes. Ugali is basically grits, without the benefit of any bacon grease, butter, honey, or anything. Then they cook these little sundried fishes whole, bones in, in a reddish sauce. You roll the ugali into a ball and scoop up the fishes and sauce out of a communal plate. Yummy. Very appetizing. | |||

I might try that; anything fried is kinda edible! My friends in Alabama and Georgia have disowned me over the grits noncompatibility issue.

We are pushing our state legislature to require Okies to get a Visa before visiting our Great State of Texas. After they've experienced our numerous sights and values and return home, they raise the average IQ of both states.  xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members.

I have a Visa; I am not unsophisticated; it only has a $50 limit but I am proud to have one!

The only reason hash browns exist is to stop the spread of grits. Now its like, "what do we do with the hash browns?". It's similar to the Australians importing rabbits in the 1700s; or fire ants appearing in the United States. | |||

Kensco: While I think grits are great and an opportunity for a lot of different dishes, let's talk hash browns. Essentially grated potatoes, right? How about a Portuguese tortilla with fried grated potatoes, some peppers, tomatoes, etc. and some whipped eggs? Not bad, but still like the possibilities of grits. | |||

Mendo! A perfect dish for Texans + Mexicans but shunned by gringos.Basically a tripe soup heavily flavored with peppers,etc. Generally touted as a hangover cure (true).One should lose their foolish inhibitions + at least explore different foods. Never mistake motion for action. | |||

Sorry got in a typing hurry. The dish is Menudo. Never mistake motion for action. | |||
