Well as I have seen & been told this is a decent part of B.L. & let's O.T. posts to roll out I have to ask as this is for the whole of Europe what's the worst food you have ever tried in Europe?

For me there is nothing worse that a Norwegian food called Lutefisk. Out of everything I have ever eaten this is ranked #1 for the worst food ever.

I have been to Norway 5 times now & came across Brunost at 4.00am one morning & was shocked how bad it was & it ranked as my #1 rancid food ever, how wrong I was. On my next trip out there I came across the Lutefisk & learned a harsh lesson.

If you can take the smell of lutefisk which made me run out the kitchen coughing like I had been hit with C.S. gas when it came to eating it I vomited several times just from the feeling of the fish in my mouth. I managed to eat 1 small part of it but kept it down for about 5 seconds before puking it right back up.

Anyone care to add to the list of worst foods in Europe?...........Anyone that has eaten Lutefisk I am sure will agree with me, there is nothing that can test Norwegian Lye fish

Not sure if it was horse. I didn't eat it. It was my girlfriend who had it, actually. She didn't eat it either! As soon as she cut into it, all these vaguely recognisable body parts fell out.

We were not impressed. That's what happens when you take pot-luck with a menu you can't understand!
 
Horse is tasty, have had horse kebabs and burgers in Slovenia and they were great. Not really eaten anything too minging in Europe though found food in the Balkans to be absolutely shite, all greasy, poor quality meat dripping in fat even in so called 'nice' restaurants. Further afield I've eaten deep fried tarantula, BBQ'd scorpions, guinea pig, shark, crocodile, kangaroo, dog and here in Scotland I've had buffalo, zebra, springbok and emu.

Why would you even put yourself through that :) I hadn't heard of Lutefisk which sounds utterly rank but i'd heard of that notorious fermented herring dish.

I've nothing to contribute I'm happy to say.
 
Vietnam, I was tricked into eating it but honestly it was fine. If no one had told me what I'd just eaten I'd assume just shit quality beef.

LOL @ it being in NK. I wish I had been there but I couldn't afford it, organised tours only and they cost thousands. :(

I had heard of Lutefisk (Lye fish) several times in Norway as they eat it at xmas, I like to sample different cultures & as it is so famous in Norway I felt an obligation to sample it.

I was looking into going there a while back through a tour company that does North Korea & Iran but my life path took a dramatic change & never went sadly
 
I have had dog as well, in China. Just wanted to try, since it was on menus at restaurants I visited. But, as a dog lover, the thought made it impossible to swallow the second bite. :(
I have also had scorpion, fried worms, cow's lung soup, pigeon, whale, and cobra.
Only the cobra was actually good.
But all of this was in Asia.
As for the main topic of this thread, I thought the worst European food was in England or Romania. Like, all the food. :p
 
Lutefisk is pretty infamously awful, I've never been in the same room as it but I've heard tell from those who have. Apparently there's something even worse involving rotten shark which has been buried for several months which gets served up in some parts of Scandinavia.

I've eaten horse a few times, nothing special about it really.

I think the worst food I ever ate in Europe was a hamburger on Skiathos years and years ago.

edit: well if we're going out of Europe then I'm pretty sure I ate whale bacon in Japan. It came as part of a huge plate of different types of fish and nobody else would touch it because it was whale. I normally wouldn't either but I was drunk, and also reasoned that it was only going to go in the bin if I didn't.

It's a bit of a rip off because you have to do an official tour plus you're guarded at all times by the security services and only allowed to go where they tell you, take pictures when they say and talk to people who they tell you to talk to. The hotel you stay in is bugged, you're watched 24/7, you can't do anything alone. Would be an experience but a pretty frustrating and pointless one.

Are you sure that isn't the Mugz-themed minibreak which some astute travel agents are starting to offer?

Chef Anthony Bourdain, who has travelled extensively throughout the world sampling local cuisine for his Travel Channel show No Reservations, has described hákarl as "the single worst, most disgusting and terrible tasting thing" he has ever eaten.

LOL :)
