So that at least excludes the British

At first I thought piñata, but that’s not usually a log, and you don’t feed it? Wtf is this?

The only major colonial empire which did not, in any way, import food from the colonies?

I'm from Denmark, we traditionally ate porridge and potatoes and pork, and of course rye bread so dense you can club someone to death with it if you want to.

You take those stamppot hating words back or we're gonna have a problem vriend

You know it's bad when a Brit thinks your food is bad.

I had a Dutch roommate once who routinely ate sprinkles on toast for breakfast — she called it traditional.

Half my family is from the Caribbean and I’ll admit we eat some odd things (all manner of salted fruit for example), but I have a hard time computing sprinkle toast as a complete meal

On the other hand... Bitterballen, poffertjes, awesome cheeses of all sorts, rookworst, stroopwafels, spekkoek, speculaas, advocaat...

And stampot is awesome, shut your piehole. :)

Oh yeah. Pannekoek

I remember once hearing a Dutch person say something like "British food might be shit but at least they have something, there are no notable Dutch dishes".

Yeah, I call bullshit or a case of not appreciating your own culture.

Dutch were the damn spice traders of the world. This can be still seen in many dishes, even damn cookies like hagel.

You have had proper meats, so all meat products were in your cuisine - rook and metworsts. Pancakes with bacon and shit. Tiger bread with spreads.

You eat the damn abomination of a spice liquorice like its good, and you're per capita biggest liquorice consumers.

Regarding sweet desserts, you have had a shitton of different pies and buttercakes, as well as this weird cake sandwitch called tampons or smthing like that.

Stamppot is food for the poorest workers. Like literally Dutch version of, idk, mcdonalds or smiliar. Of course its going to be filling but not fancy. If you eat it daily then damn, I'm sorry for you, grab some pears and red wine and make stoofperen.

Oh that's the best food culture I could imagine.

I hate it when people overvalue food. I have chronic gastric issues and I'm just so fed up with people trying to feed me or tell me how I've not eaten enough.

I once spent three weeks in Amsterdam, mainly for weed tourism. Breakfast and lunch was just an utter wasteland; I just stayed in my apartment all day eating ice cream bars and ham salad. Dinner was salvaged by the Indonesian restaurants.

Man I loooove split pea soup. You can use it as mortar but every spoonful is a warm hug in a way other soups can't match

I do not know whether to be disgusted or sad. Probably both. I cannot comprehend a meal that does not contain a proper blend of spices and various interesting textures.

Korea wins the alcoholism award.

But Eastern Europe/Russia get their credit for depressing alcoholism.

Well, my culture is uniquer because it's built on classism and wars against religions!

Crackfurt am Meins oder Hannover?

Dutch cuisine is so boring and bland, it’s no wonder almost everyone prefers anything foreign. Everything traditional we cook tends to lack flavor and texture, it’s filling but not exactly attractive.

We also don’t really have a food culture here. Dutch people don’t like to spend more time eating than they have to. A meal never lasts more than 20-30 minutes tops.

It’s not exactly surprising that there’s no such thing as a Dutch restaurant outside of the Netherlands…

I for one love (most of) the traditional Norwegian dishes. But I will concede that I'm not expecting to see Lutefisk stalls in the UK anytime soon, (Although they have their own questionable things they do with fish), and I doubt street food vendors in Kuala Lumpur would be put out of business by someone selling Pinnekjøtt.

My culture is also in this persons petri dish... contaminating the sample.

I learned the art of dodging the la chancla pretty early on. Only way I get hit is when abuela would cheat and hit me for something I did like 3 days ago and I've forgotten about it and I'm busy with some chore. That's when la chancla is at its most dangerous.

As soon as I read the original text I knew the thrown shoe thing was gonna come up somewhere in the comments

Ours start wars with foreign countries in order to drive up the price of oil.

You mean like Pokemon Team Rocket, or like Home Alone?

Just doing our part.....sniff sniff is that....OIL your cooking with?!

I love Marmite!
