I Hate Western Food

I love all forms of cuisine. I eat everything.

In fact, keep your fingers clear of my plate when I am engaged in the act of eating, or you might end up like Frodo Baggins...:p

Tsk. If one was to write that one hated Eastern or Oriental food, one can imagine the outraged responses.

Indeed, and to think most of the outrage would originate from "Western" individuals...

I enjoy Western cuisine; American, French, Italian, English, etc. And, although I abhor the Eastern dishes I've eaten in the far east, I do enjoy Chinese, Thai, Japanese and Korean delivery.
 
I love my Western food. Italian cuisine is my favorite... and don't try to pass pizza off as Italian, because it isn't. It's American food. Anyway, veal parmesian, linguini marinara, lasagna, spingis (Italian pastries... yum!), frozia, fuatsa, etc... wonderful.

The taste of a turkey varies greatly depending upon the quality of the bird, and the quality of the cook. I would NEVER eat stuffing that has been cooked INSIDE the turkey. Ick. And that slimy gel you mentioned makes me gag (jellied cranberry sauce). It sounds like you got unlucky with the quality of the meal.

As for Eastern food, I like some of it. Well, not much, but some. Fried rice, lo mein noodles, "pot stickers," and most anything with teriyaki sauce on it (except sushi :eek: ). OTOH, Thai and Vietnamese food tear me up. Too spicy!!!
 
I like a bit of everything. Indian food is nice, as is asian. I also enjoy a good souvlaki. American Fast Food is rubbish, but to be fair to the rest of American cuisine, I haven't tasted it, so i can't judge all american food by what we have here. Anyway, in all circumstances, it's mainly the fast food i have a problem with (except chinese, they still manage to do good fast food).
 
You had a bad turkey and I believe you had instant potato that stuff is really bad.
 
:love: rice :love: I love rice. I have yet to meet a rice I really didn't like. My least favorite rice I've ever had is basmati rice, but it had butter on it so I don't think I really got a good impression of it. I don't really like butter, especially if it's violating my precious rice. I like most western food. I'm not crazy about seafood. Lobster is gross (but I'm just weird like that). I'm afraid to try a clam. I love haddock. If every fish tasted like haddock I'd eat fish all the time. mmmm...lemons on it :love: The only food I have a real major problem with is eggs. Can't get them close enough to my face to eat them. I don't think eggs would really be considered stricktly western though.
 
Steak and KIDNEY pie is the only way to go.

Nearly all Indian and Eastern food is horrid, horrid, horrid.

I hate anything with the merest whiff of spiciness, and love all the boring cuisine of potatoes, beef, brussels sprouts, etc.
 
I like typical western food like pizza, burgers (but not that McDonalds crap, we are talking big fat homemade burgers) etc

I like mild curry, there is a Punjabi Bistro and Bar where i live, its quite cool.

Chinese... yummy :)

I like some indian/asian food like Naan bread with soem sorta hummis stuff.

I try to keep open minded.

I knew that one of you lot would, ahem, express your opinion on the wonders of a bit of offal.

I don't really understand the American disdain for kidney. Is it just the fact that it's offal? Put it this way, at least I know what kidney is - try defining an American hamburger. I expect that offal is probably the most palatable ingredient, compared to whatever else is in there.

Also, do you not eat liver?

Same. Can't stand eggs. The look, the smell, not to mention the taste. I used to eat them, but now i feel nausious every time i come near them. While not in themselves western, the ways that i've eaten them are mostly in western preparations.

Also not a big fan of seafood, but fish n chips are good, and as long as the quality is good, i get by.

What??? An englishman who doesn't like Indian??? Is this a first?

And Pillager: I can't stand the thought of eating ANY organs. Kidneys are disgusting, and liver too. My parents are English (Well dad is South African, but was brought up in England) and they gave me that stuff when i was a kid. I have to say it's put me off for life. I think it's just an English thing.

I just don't see the point in eating anything spicy. It makes the mouth sting. Great. What's the point in that?

You mean to tell me you don't feel the urge to whip out a kidney (preferably not one's own - we're not that savage up here) and slap it down on the barbie?? Tut. You're missing out on a real treat. :D

Because its awful? ;)

I'll admit the English are only half as gross as the Germans and Poles when it comes to food.

I present you with blood sausage! :eek:

pizza is italian, even if they do there pizzas in a special way. it is much better than the thick american ones.

i understand why hotdog fish doesn't like potatoes. potatoes made in the wrong way are disgusting, but they can also be wonderful if made they are made in the right way.

meatballs with potatoes, cream sauce and lingonberry jam is excellent western food.:love:
 
I wince every time I hear about black pudding. Is that english, or is it scottish or some other crazy bunch of people?
