There are certain foods that we claim to hate as opposed to the food we love. Either way, knowing the specific foods that are served around the world without the intention to cook them in the near future or maybe ever is still of great interest, as it provides us with knowledge of various traditions, tastes, and food preferences that exist out there. One is able to compare their own eating habits - finding one’s limits, as well as one’s place in the context of the great variety of meals served in various countries - simply feeding one’s curiosity and maybe even getting inspired! It is here that people answering one Redditor’s question: “What is the worst food in your country” can come in handy.

Pakistan: we have a famous dish called *katta-kat.* It's named after the sound the chef makes, slamming two flat prong knives on a large dish while making it. It's made of fried goat/lamb testicals, entrails, kidneys and a few other organs. It's literally one of the most common dishes in the country.

As a Spaniard living in Norway, I have to say the worst from Spain is most likely either caracoles en su salsa, aka snails, or tortilla de sacromonte, aka brains omelette. Norwegian food is mostly c**p, I'm sorry to say. Lutefisk, komle, rakkfisk, and many others come to mind. I actually like Gammaltost, something many Norwegians say it's disgusting.

Hands down, khash. It’s just an excuse to down vodka at 7 am in the morning. It tastes like garlic and wallpaper paste with cow intestines and tongue.
[Writer's note: Khash is a dish of boiled cow or sheep parts, which might include the head, feet, and stomach tripe.
Khash and its variations are traditional dishes in Afghanistan, Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Georgia, Greece, Iran, Iraq, Turkey, North Macedonia, Mongolia and some Persian Gulf countries.]
