POLL: Survey of favorite kinds of food by national origin in Taiwan that you eat

@Brianjones

Authentic means authentic ingredients . That means the awesome seafood from ireland such as crabs, lobsters, trout, salmon, scallops, haddock, sole, mackerel etc , cheese and dairy, beef, wholemeal bread , oats, veg, berries and fruit.
Its just really high quality fresh food stuffs to start with that makes the difference. After that cook it or bake it anway you like. Seriously the food in Ireland makes a lot of food in other places taste like fake plastic.

Not only this, but in Dublin you have lot more ethnic food choices.

Of course this thread becomes yet another thread complaining about Taiwanese food.

So don’t read it.

This board isn’t exactly known for sophisticated taste buds.

the food in Ireland

Oh yes! I was in Northern Ireland last October and rarely have I eaten as well as I did there. Ulster Fry. Irish Stew. Colcannon. Champ.

If you don’t like Irish food well, wise up and catch yourself on.

Ulster Fry. Irish Stew. Colcannon. Champ.

I can envision the second item, but the other three are mysteries to me.

Clearly I have more to things to try down the road!

Two of them are fancy mash. The Ulster Fry is a thing of rare beauty.

That doesn’t look particularly appetising at all.

To each their own, brother.

If made with quality ingredients, and paired with a good beverage, I’m sure it would be great (as long you you’re not vegetarian that is!).

French without a doubt. Country areas such as Lot.

Ever eaten an Andouillette? They look too rank for me. And I’ve eaten blow fish sperm soup.

Numerous times. They’re brill if seasoned properly. Great restaurant near Chevry Cossigny on outskirts of Paris I used to frequent did a great one.

Ok, I’m highly suggestible. I’ll give one a try.

Really? I tried it once and it tasted like shit. Literally.

I’ve got an asbestos palate and I could not force down more than a mouthful. Absolutely rank. The worst thing I’ve ever eaten.

@ChewDawg, I’m going to flip back and side with @BiggusDickus.

[superking]

Well, I do believe @ChewDawg has a sophisticated palate. Then @BiggusDickus reminded me that andouillette is shit wrapped in skin and I had to go with my gut. Literally and figuratively.

[BiggusDickus]

A sophisticated palate enjoys pig’s colon, as long as it’s been properly seasoned. OK.

[superking]

I don’t have a sophisticated palate, I’ll try anything. But I’m hovering over the andouillette line.

Really depends on how it is prepared. Either it’s very, very good, or it’s disgusting. There’s no middle ground. I have a number of French friends and chose restaurants carefully.

You are being intellectually dishonest.
