If anybody in Europe can't cook, it's the Poles.

That's a wild-ass take about the people who gave us pierogi and kielbasa. Bigos and golabki are pretty awesome too.

I mostly heard negative opinions about Dutch cuisine. Despite the popularity of stroopwafel lol

    Is that supposed to be food?

    And have you all forgot the British exist?

    I wonder what your definition of food is if these don't fit it.

    And have you all forgot the British exist?

    The comment that started this discussion specifically mentions their assumed perspective.

    The point is that the words just sound like non-sense to anyone outside Poland.

    Doesn't kielbasa just mean sausage in Polish? I think sausages existed before Poland. And dumplings are said to originate from China though I'm sure the Poles have their own creative variations of the filling.

    Eastern-European food often can't be attributed to any one country. Pierogi are identical to Ukrainian varenyky, and in case of meat dumplings also Russian pelmeni (borrowed from Komi and Udmurt cuisine). It's hypothesized that dumplings originated in China and spread from there to Europe via the Silk Road trade, possibly via Turks; and to Siberia via Mongols.

    Dutch cuisine primarily consists of deep fried food.

    Specialities like the frikandel (german frikandel is very different), patat/friet oorlog, waterfiets, kroket, bamischijf, kaassoufle and fried bounty(the candybar). Or this wonderful Arabic/Dutch combination, de kapsalon.

    Many people love these foods tho. Well regarded by most tourists.

    A dutch restaurant is called a snackbar.
