Christ. Hope you never try any northern European food if you think Italian is bland.

Huh? Some of the most famous German dishes have middle eastern influence.


Doesn’t that prove the point?

You should try another can of Chef Boyardee.

I like Indian food, but some places use too much ghee and don't know how to spice things. You end up with an oil slush where the heat overcomes the taste of the ingredients.

Scandinavian food tends to be bland and overly dependent on dill. There's a reason it's hard to find a Danish restaurant, though they do beer well and pickled herring isn't as bad as it sounds.

Once you remove vestiges of the Commonwealth, British food is pretty lackluster past fish and chips and pasties.

Regarding your typical Tex-Mex restaurants, the meals are usually all prepared very similar. You generally know what you are getting at each place.


All of the ingredients are the exact same. Just different combinations of them and with the only real variety coming in your choice between chicken/beef and soft/hard tortilla

Right. The only difference between chicken mole and verde enchiladas is the tortillas. What an absurdly retarded and reductive statement.

I apologize for offending you, but there isn't a whole lot of variety in Tex Mex.

Tell me you don't know very much about Tex Mex cuisine without explicitly stating it.

I don't particularly like the food served in (American) Irish pubs.

The shepherd's pie usually made with beef which is an atrocious insult to the dish. That's cottage pie not shepherd's pie.

Whoever thought up the Reuben egg roll or quesadilla is disgusting and deserves

Dublin Coddle is a hodgepodge of failure.

Then there's the Guinness (insert food name here) dishes that are just kitschy and poorly executed.

Of course, these aforementioned abominations are a poor reflection of traditional Irish cuisine.

Well, I wouldn’t go that far.

Maybe make them stick to chicken nuggets and easy-mac, and leave the grown-up food for grown-ups.

I’m in for the discussion. I’m only going by the few German restaurants I’ve been to.
I’ve never once said, ”dang I’d love to get German tonight.”


Same... my inlaws lived in Germany while my FIL was deployed. They eat it a lot. All tastes the same and none of it is that great. It's all edible.... but seems like all dark gravy and really heavy on the ol' stomach.
