    I think this is ridiculous.

    It’s not been noted that (desite Japan having the most michelin decorated resturamts) the UK has some of the most recognised and best resturants in the world. It’s resturants are not only top-ranking in the world (see for example the Fat Duck and Nobu) but it is the most metropolitan and safest place to eat in the world.

    Our temporate climite insures that we have less vermin and insect infestations, our wealth ensures quality for the most part, our manners ensure hygene and our diversity inspires variety.

    Have you not eaten in Turkey…Egypt…Saudi Arabia, place were you would get sheep eyes as a delicacy as opposed to “haggis” which is considered a joke anyway.

    Also do not confuse British with “English”, the English diet is far superior to the Welsh and Scotish (health statistics prove this) and further to this do not confuse the cusine of the south and the north! They are as different as French and German!

    @Weves
    I was in a bit of a rage there: *Climate **Fewer (not less) ***and I’m sure a few others.

    I am currently having diarreah from Turkey might I add, and I don’t mean the bird.

    Weves – most of the better restaurants in the UK happen to be French, Italian, Indian and South East Asian. These are relatively few and far between. The majority of bog standard restaurants, cafes and gastro pubs simply mix and match and heat up processed food made in huge factories. Unlike most countries that have strong food cultures and where people mostly buy their food in markets and from artisan food producers, the majority of Brits shop in supermarkets buying ready meals,other heavily processed food and fruit and veg of uniform colour and size – all of which are devoid of taste and nutrition. Then there is the massive junk food and take away market. The sad thing is there’s a lot of great whole, natural food produced in the UK but much of it is exported – langoustines, snails, shellfish, lamb, veal – as Brits wont eat it.

    Sheep eyes a delicacy in Egypt, Turkey and Saudi Arabia? You have no idea what you are talking about. Egypt has some of the most delicious meals you could eat and as for Turkey..wow.

    I think the UK is number one because of all the marmite, black pudding and offals. Forget about getting a decent breakfast in the UK, it’s disgusting.

    I can’t believe that the U.S.A is on there, for worst national cuisine. The food in the U.S, is good. It might be unhealthy, but it is awesome.

    I found almost everything I ate in the USA was either too sweet, too salty or sometimes both at once. Except for the fresh fruit and vegetables, which had barely any taste at all. Awesomeness is obviously very subjective.

    Wow I am shocked at the results. At least in countries like Enland and America there are many top restaurants and many different cuisines available. Anyway despite this, what is more shocking is that this list isn’t dominated by East European countries. East European cuisine would have to be the worst. Its very simple peasant food esentially, with little herbs and spices and no presentation.

    erm Nobu is American, and this is talking about national cuisine not restaurants, and I am wholly in accordance, I think that British food is just bleh, I mean really… cornish pasties, gross.
