You don't need to justify to me, I've had Scandinavian food and enjoyed it fine. I also am Dutch and live in the Netherlands, so the potshot I took at NL is entirely warranted.

My point is that by comparison, those nations get far less flak regarding their food.

True, as a Swede I hear more complaints about British cuisine than I do about Swedish or other nordic countries cuisine. Iceland gets a bad rep because of the rotten shark meat but I've seen some food vloggers go there and have some great food too.

Growing up we ate a variety of foods. Sometimes less fast foody fast food like hotdogs and fries with ketchup and mustard. Other times it was baked salmon in a cream sauce with potatoes. Potatoes are featured far and wide in our cuisine, either boiled, mashed or oven baked.

I fell in love with thai food though.
