The poop card will never not be hilarious. To me, anyways.

Yes, the point was to show that almost all countries have some foods which don't look especially delicious. Many of those taste better than they look. Some don't.

You're telling this to someone who's eaten boiled brains. And had a paella the day after.

Fancy Finnish delicacies















After seeing these photos, I had to check what fancy meant.

According to Cambridge Dictionaries Online:
fancy adjective (DECORATIVE)
› ​decorative or ​complicated:
I ​wanted a ​simple ​black ​dress, nothing fancy.
The ​decorations were a little too fancy for my ​tastes.
fancy ​cakes
They are fancy, aren't they?

The first one I don't know what it is. The second is a Tampere blood sausage, something I've never tasted. The third and fourth is mämmi, the Easter rye dough food. The fifth is kalakukko, a Savonian food, practically the Finnish kebab. 6th is a peasoup and pancake in a military installation, as you can see from the mug. 7th is peasoup again.

Now I have to establish what your point was again?

1. You are a racist.
2. Your fancy foods are not fancy at all in many countries.

By the way, according to List of Michelin starred restaurants:

In Japan
32 Three stars, #1 on this planet, France is #2 with 26 Three stars
106 Two stars
378 One stars

In Finland
0 Three stars
0 Two stars
4 One stars

Is it clear now?

I guess you should look up the meaning of "sarcasm" as well.

That is rich considering how hard you are trying to infer the inferiority of Finns based on their cuisine.
