Two popular Israeli dishes have been included in Taste Atlas’s list of 100 worst foods, which was updated earlier this month.
The list, with foods from nearly 50 countries around the world, includes two popular Israeli dishes: Yerushalmi kugel and orez shu’it (beans and rice), ranked 33 and 35, respectively.
Yerushalmi kugel, which is described by TasteAtlas as “a savory casserole made with thin cooked noodles that are coated in caramelized sugar,” has the additional honor of being ranked the site’s worst casserole dish in the world.
Orez shu’it, listed as Israel’s worst side dish, is a Sephardic Jewish dish consisting of white beans cooked in tomato paste and served over white rice.
And the winner is...
The number one spot is held by Sweden’s Blodplättar, or blood pancakes. In fact, six of the dishes on the list involve animal blood as a key ingredient.
The country with the most entries was Spain, with nine dishes listed overall, closely followed by Switzerland and the United States, each with seven, and Norway with six.
