How the hell does number 73, a pastry with nothing suspect, make it on this list? And rated worse than 87, a fried and dried fish. Not that I don’t like dried and fried fish but fried dough being worse? You’re out of your mind.
Also where is surstromming? It’s a food and it doesn’t even appear on the list…?
I suspect the ratings are partly based on expectations. Eating a duck fetus doesn't mess with someone's expectations nearly as much as getting "vegetable roll" and it's really a hunk of beef.
But I'm not sure how they actually rated these. Does seem silly, but a fun list to see some foods I've never heard of before.
There is a lot of innocent or even bland things on this list.
Chikwanga is #44 on the list. This is just a cassava flour cake, it's a staple food meant to be eaten along with something else, it being bland is kind of the point. Of course if you go to some Congolese restaurant and only order chikwanga you're going to be disappointed, but it's the same as going to a Chinese restaurant and only ordering white rice.
