"Irish Taco" sounds like a euphemism

The bastardization of sushi is way worse than tacos, maybe as bad as pizza imo.

Irish food is also pretty bastardized. How often do the Irishes in Ireland eat corned beef and other deli food?

i cant even describe that taco, there was no effort to make it not a taco, it was just as if every spice and technique and ingredient was chosen by someone that had heard of a taco and was working it out as they went along
― First and Last and Safeways (jjjusten), Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:01 (fourteen years ago) link
notable decisions made would be the use of cream cheese. also ketchup.
mac n' cheese is similar to pizza in varying from sometimes being the greatest/worst thing ever

English food > Irish food >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Scottish food

corned beef is not a 'thing' in ireland, tbh. i mean it exists, but in the same way that other food we don't eat all that much exists.
― DarraghmacKwacz (darraghmac), Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:02 (fourteen years ago) link
Irish Food>>>>> english food
like our actors, the english just steal our best food and call it english. english food = eels n shit.

welcome to Eels N' Shit, can I take your order

See, I can stomach most bad sushi as long as there's nori/soy/wasabi. I remember getting 7-11 sushi late at night in Tokyo that was pretty dire, objectively, but a little ginger and (as long as it wasn't fake fish) some rice/protein wasn't the worst drunk food I could have gotten at 4 AM. /ds-gaijin
Also, I think pizza is kind of a portmanteau concept since there's flatbread all over the place, Comparing, say, crudo and sushi wouldn't be out of line but it has to be done w/a fair sense of what each tradition brings and expects.

i'm sorry we're out of the eel pie

Fair enough, apart from salmon, venison and grouse. Irish have the best bread, though.

the best basic bacon/eggs/toast breakfast i have ever had in my life was in ireland, so for that i thank you all.
xpost: see MW knows what is up
xxxxpost: idk when i think of bastardized sushi im thinking of the bullshit you see where theres like bacon and chutney and shit. basically sushi for novelty eaters that think raw fish is ooogy.

Lots of Scottish food is great, but not the stuff the Scots actually eat

another argument for pizza here would be the delivery pizza option of getting your pizza surrounded by a rubber o-ring of semi-melted not really cheese encased in the crust
― First and Last and Safeways (jjjusten), Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:09 (fourteen years ago) link
Sushi is a good one for this.
Another one I'd like to throw out there: lasagna. There are the versions served in schools that are typically embarrassingly terrible, but the vegetarian versions that are loaded with white sauce are another degree of awfulness.

I just thought of a couple of broad prejudices I have:
Fish and cheese generally shouldn't go together, not should fish and bacon.
― Il suffit de ne pas l'envier (Michael White), Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:20 (fourteen years ago) link
scallops, emmental cheese, and walnuts give you an idea.
sounds awesome!
― goole, Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:22 (fourteen years ago) link
i don't think anything competes with pizza for this question. maaaybe 'mexican' but that doesn't really compare.
maybe chinese too, but i'm a fan of really ratty storefront fake chinese food
― goole, Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:24 (fourteen years ago) link
I know (re. the pizza w/ emmental + scallops)! I ordered it, unsuspecting what was to come. Execution was more the problem than the ingredients, though I tend to agree that fish + cheese is a bad combo.

my personal vote might be fish and chips. it always sounds like a good idea when i see it on a menu and it is always a grave error.

RFI: The Traditional Irish Fry-Up
fish and chips is a good shout. my personal vote would be any 'traditional' 'british' 'food'. fortunately my countrymen don't really attempt much mediterranean, but sheesh pork joint and roast potatoes can be dismal

also bad casserole ;_;
not a fan of fish and cheese at all
