This map of Europe according to each country’s culinary horror prompted quite the debate
‘Horrible European dishes by country,’ said @acertainellen over on Twitter.
It’s a map from a few years back by the Atlas of Prejudice – ‘the complete stereotype map collection’ – and it’s been turning stomachs all over again.
Except not everyone’s stomachs were turned. Far from it, in fact. Here are just a few of the things people were saying about it.

I like how the worst horror of all is reserved for Switzerland. https://t.co/Vy5DFITAMo

Seeing a lot of viral food stuff atm which invokes blood sausage as something uncontroversially disgusting. Feel like we need to push back on this. https://t.co/0QDDUW1HR5

If you have an aversion to eating blood, liver, tongue, heart or lard then you are not a real European. https://t.co/ziTz9fdHgR

will defend the scots' ungodly 'pizza crunch' on the grounds that the first three bites tasted like pure euphoria itself, i'd never had anything like it. the fourth sapped all of the energy out of my body. the fifth felt like my blood had exploded https://t.co/w02RMh0uNZ

There’s a lot more maps like this at the Atlas of Prejudice (and you can buy the book here).
