Even if the food looks like French; you just taste a little,and haha; you realize that you would never never ever in your life, you ate a terrible food; there you could imagine how i felt when it happened to me.

Some friends from the yacht club invited me to a cricket game in Barbados. I attended cricket matches before at Lords in England, Kingston in Jamaica and the A. R.G in Antigua. Stadia do not have the best food. However, since the year before we were in Antigua and got fresh fruit daily and wonderful local cuisine including lobster (half shell)-the little booths actually have those tasty dishes you keep smelling during the game, I thought that I could get the same things in Barbados. The folks I was with were not native, but they knew the island well. I noticed they were making sandwiches before we left, so I just figured that they wanted to take their own. I soon found out why. The food vendors were walking around the stands the same way they do in Antigua. However I didn't smell those tasty dishes. I kept hearing about delicious "POI." So, I decided to try this thing. What "poi" turned out to be was macaroni pie-- a very inexpensive noodle that was overcooked and soaked in oil. To make matters worse, the dish was served with white rice, another starch--also no taste. So they had two starches, a touch of French fries--also a starch and chicken, which I do not eat. I approached another vendor. He told me he could get me a fruit dish. Are you ready for this, the fruits were prepared early in the morning--about two varieties and they were not refrigerated. Need I say more? The drinks sold were carbonated sugar-based. What the heck it was at a stadium.
I must say though- I was ale to get really lovely fresh fish to buy at the Oistings Fish Market afterwards. I ate like a horse that evening.

When I lived in Hawaii, I tried one of their "typical" foods. It was called "poi" and it was one of the worst eating experiences I've ever had. Just thinking about what it tasted like makes me feel sick to my stomach. And when I was in Mexico, I ate tortilla or something of that nature that was dripping corn oil...awful! I got so sick after that...lost about 8 pounds. Never again.

Fois Gras
I just tried it and didn't like it - it was too rich and slimy - very gross!
It was our honeymoon, we went to this restaurant where you could go a Chef's Tasting and it was 9 courses of food paired with wines. The food was all unusual - rabbit, fois gras, duck, but that fois gras definitely stuck out in my mind.

I mean no disrespect, but French Canadian (eaten in Manchester, NH) food was incredibly greasy, taste-less, flat, and unappetizing. But, I was visiting in laws and had to eat all that I was served. But the lobster and steamed clams in Maine was worth the trip!
