I am amazed the Netherlands is at number 9 it would be top of my list.
At least real Dutch food, as eaten by Dutch people at home would be. Restaurant food tends to be pretty good, if expensive.
It is certainly a lot worse than steak and kidney pie/pudding and black pudding, which of course the French also eat, along with a lot of far worse things that S&K pie, but they can do no wrong when it comes to food it seems.

Funny and interesting.
I've had Filipino food. It has an odd mixture of Latin and Asian.
I happen to like German food (and I'm not German).
Dutch food is pretty low on my list.
My all-time winner -- or loser, as you will -- is Turkey.

Things like Chicken Tikka Masala & Balti were invented in the UK. And a proper pie and mash can hold it's head high anywhere in the world (still mourning the demise of Goddards shop in Greenwich). And don't get me started on cheese
Anyone who says the UK has crap cuisine has a hole in the head - or died sometime around 1950.

well, when I saw that China comes in at no 3, I realised that it was a load of dingoes' kidneys. it's not clear anyway what's being compared - the worst of each, or the best? a load of nonsense, IMHO.

I've had by far the worst food in Russia. Much unidentifiable, hardly anything fresh and everything has the life cooked out of it.
While German cuisine isn't haute, much is tasty.
I've also had some meals in England I couldn't begin to comprehend (an Italain restaurant, run by real Italians), serving "lasagna" that was like the worst mac and cheese served in a grade school cafeteria. (And ham sandwiches with one slice of ham that you could read through - and half of that fat.

I also really like Turkish food. I spent a couple of years travelling there regularly and always had great meals.
The ingredients used in British food are often poor quality for what you pay.
Russian food in 1992 was not too my taste (and I got incredibly sick).
Egyptian food was pretty boring.
I'm not a fan of Ethiopian or Indian food but I think that's just me.

Although we have not been there in a number of years Czech Republic and Poland. It seemed no matter what we ordered he got some pork dish drowning in a pale bown slop. And just to annoy the Brits on the board-England.

Probaly some (even many?) like Ethiopian food. I've been to such restaurant only twice only because friends reserved the place for get-togethers. Not my kind neither. I don't know if it's typical but we got a large plate of different kinds of vegetables and maybe some meat prepared in some sort of sauce and every body ate I think with fingers from the same plate(no individual plates - we could have asked though). A bit messy way to eat and not my kind of taste neither. But I have to admit I'm not a very adventurous with food.
I like Indian food better, curry, bread, chicken, those ordinary dishes, if it's not at the top of my list.
