Top 10 Worst Controversial Foods in the World

1. Fish Intestine Curry, Thailand

Fish curry originated in southern Thailand. The main ingredient is tai pla - fermented fish intestines - and a spicy curry sauce made from chillies, galangal, shrimp paste, turmeric, shallots and lemongrass.

Other common ingredients include dried fish, shredded eggplant, bamboo shoots, green beans, or vegetables. Because of its strong flavor and spicy aroma, kaeng tai pla (fish intestine curry) is often served with white rice. Traditionally, it is made with only fish, and most curries do not use coconut milk.

2.Hákarl, Iceland

Iceland's national dish is made from cured shark meat, specifically Greenland shark and other shark species. The meat is first fermented for up to three months, then hung and dried for another four to five months. There are two varieties of the dish: the chewy, red glerhákarl and the soft, white skyrhákarl. It is often considered a food for the brave, as its high ammonia content causes people to gag.

The cured shark meat is usually cut into cubes and enjoyed with a glass of local spirit called brennivin.

3.Fesikh, Egypt

A popular Egyptian dish is dried, fermented, and salted grey mullet. The fish is dried in the sun. If not prepared properly, the dish can be poisonous, so it is traditionally stored in sealed glass jars.

Fesikh is served during the Sham-El-Nessim festival, accompanied by chopped onions, lemon and Egyptian bread.

4.Yerushalmi kugel

A casserole made with cooked noodles coated in caramelized sugar. After being mixed with eggs, olive oil, pepper and salt, the mixture is placed in a pan and baked until dry. The dish first appeared in 18th century Europe, brought by Jews.

5.Luther burger, USA

At over 1,000 calories and often more than 45 grams of fat per serving, the Luther Burger is one of the unhealthiest burgers in the world. The standard burger bun is replaced with a sliced, sugar-coated doughnut (usually a Krispy Kreme).

Additionally, the Luther is essentially a cheeseburger topped with bacon and usually served without any vegetables or condiments. Many believe it was invented at Mulligan's Bar in Georgia, when the chef ran out of standard hamburger buns and used donuts instead.

6. Pani ca meusa, Italy

A Palermo street food staple dating back to the 15th century, this simple sandwich consists of a soft bread stuffed with fried beef spleen and (sometimes) lungs. The meat is the main ingredient, and the basic version, called schettu, is simply topped with a splash of lemon juice, while the only other option is maritatu, which includes shredded caciocavallo cheese.

7.Eel jelly, England

Jellified eel is a traditional Cockney street food that dates back to the 18th century. Originally it was a cheap and easy way to make a tasty dish, with plenty of native eels available in the Thames. The eel would be cut into small pieces, boiled in herbs for about half an hour, then left to cool – this is when the fish produces its own gelatin and a soft, clear jelly would form on the cut pieces.

8.Calskrove, Sweden

This giant meal is the creation of Tre Kronor restaurant in Skellefteå, Sweden. It consists of a calzone pizza stuffed with a burger (along with bread, toppings and sauce) and French fries.

The calorie-laden dish was originally created for people who couldn't decide whether to have pizza or a hamburger after a night of drinking.

9.Peladillas, Spain

A Spanish treat consisting of roasted almonds coated in a hard layer of sugar. There are also varieties made from pine nuts, which are then called pinones. Peladillas are characterized by their crunchy texture and full of sweetness.

Along with turrones and polvorones, peladillas are traditionally served during Christmas celebrations in Spain.

10.Smalahove, Norway

A traditional Norwegian dish made from sheep's head. First soaked in water for 24 hours, then soaked in brine of salt, sugar, salt and pepper, the head is soaked for another 24 hours before being boiled.

This dish is traditionally prepared and eaten on the Sunday before Christmas. It is often served with a combination of mashed rutabaga and potatoes, white pepper, nutmeg, butter and cream. Smalahove dates back to a time when food was scarce, but today it is a festive delicacy.

Taste Atlas 's ranking of the 100 worst foods has caused a stir, especially in Thailand, where the country's favorite dish, fish curry, was ranked number one.

Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin said that Taste Atlas ' ranking of kaeng tai pla as "The World's Worst-Rated Food" only reflects the eating preferences of some people, according to the Bangkok Post .

Mr Srettha explained that not everyone likes the spiciness of kaeng tai pla. However, the strong flavour is what makes the dish unique and popular, adding that it is one of his personal favourites.

The results have left Thai netizens confused as the dish is a favourite among many locals, leading to the recent trending hashtag "Save Kaeng Tai Pla" (Save the Fish Curry) appearing on social media in the land of the Golden Temple.
