Why is this sanga part of the world's worst-rated foods?
- Replies 1
Australians are no strangers to experimenting with their food.
From the quintessential Vegemite toast to the iconic meat pie, Aussies have had a knack for crafting dishes that are both unique and delicious.
However, not all food experiments end up a masterpiece.
TasteAtlas, a global food guide, has been exploring traditional cuisines from around the world.
However, its latest ranking list caused quite a stir.
Among the list of 'worst-rated' foods were deep-fried silkworms of Thailand and jellied eels found in England.
Yet, a Kiwi twist to an Aussie classic has been thrust into the international spotlight but for the wrong reasons.
A concoction of Marmite spread and potato chips between two slices of white bread has been branded as a culinary disgrace on a global scale.
The annual TasteAtlas' list of 100 worst-rated foods in the world placed the New Zealand snack staple at number 17.
The international community deemed it so unsavoury that it received a dismal rating of over two stars.
However, locals called the concoction a 'Top-tier Kiwi snack'.
One Kiwi shared their tips on how to enjoy the Marmite sandwich.
'Favourite chip choices to add are ready salted or salt and vinegar,' they shared.
'Any sandwich is great when chips/crisps are combined,' another quipped.
Apart from the Marmite sandwich, TasteAtlas listed down other unappetising foods that made their list.
Blodpalt—a Finnish delicacy made with dark-brown dumplings made with rye or barley flour and animal blood—took the top spot on this year's list.
Bocadillo de Sardinas, a sandwich filled with canned sardines originating in Spain, followed suit.
The Swedish Calskrove—a pizza stuffed with hamburgers and French fries—also made it to the list.
Other notable mentions included the Frog Eye salad from Utah, Czernina from Poland, and Paniki from Indonesia.
We have seen our fair share of food trends that come and go.
While we appreciate the nostalgia and comfort of classic snacks, it's important to approach new culinary trends with a discerning palate.
Food is a personal journey meant to be enjoyed however you want it to be.
Yet, sometimes, it's wise to stick to the classics.
After all, life's too short for bad sandwiches!
