A classic British dish has been rated one of the “worst-rated” dishes in the world.
travel guide Atlas of flavor has compiled a list of the 100 foods that readers liked least, with results from around the world based on almost 600,000 ratings.
In last place were the ‘blodpalt’ Finnish dumplings, which received only 1.6 stars out of five.
Dumplings, associated with northern Sweden and Finland, are made from rye or barley flour mixed with animal blood.
But a British classic also made the list and was officially declared the fifth worst dish of all time.
East London’s traditional jellied eels scored just 2.1 stars, with foodies disgusted by its unusual texture.
Cockney street food dates back to the 18th century as a cheap and easy way to provide a meal, and eels were one of the few types of fish that could survive the heavy pollution of the River Thames at the time.
The eels are coated in gelatin, cloves, vinegar, white pepper and salt and can still be found in many pie and mash shops.
The UK’s classic jellied eels have been named one of the worst dishes in the world.
In second place was the sardine sandwich from Spain, with a score of 1.9.
Although at first glance it may seem harmless, since it is just a sandwich, it is filled with canned sardines, which can be accompanied with peppers, tomatoes, cilantro, hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise and yogurt sauce.
In third place was another Swedish offering, the Calskrove, very high in calories: a calzone pizza filled with hamburgers and fries.
The Spanish Angulas a la cazuela, originally from the Basque Country, took fourth place.
It is clear that readers do not like eels or fish, since the traditional dish is made with elvers (eels), garlic, pepper flakes, olive oil and salt.
The rest of the top ten included the New York City Ramen Burger, the Chapelele (a Chilean bun), the Catalan favorites (beans cooked with sausage), the Thorramatur (Icelandic meat and fish, including shark ) and the sour Thai fish entrails curry.
The rankings were based on opinions from TasteAtlas’ audience, but the website insists they should not be seen as “the final overall conclusion about food.”
Their website states: “Its purpose is to promote great local foods, instill pride in traditional dishes, and spark curiosity about dishes you haven’t tried.”

In last place were the ‘blodpalt’ Finnish dumplings, which received only 1.6 stars out of five.

The rest of the top 10 included the New York City ramen burger.

Thorramatur (a selection of Icelandic meats and fish, including shark) also makes the list.

People were quick to share their opinions on the list and when it came to the jellied eels they were divided.
They wrote: ‘A list where British “cuisine” can finally have its moment of glory’;
“I had jellied eels in London a couple of months ago and really liked them”;
‘Just an English meal?’;
‘I have tried jellied eels and it was the worst thing I have ever tasted, worse than bugs’;
“I don’t know what you mean, they all look delicious.”
Last month, TasteAtlas revealed its 100 best foods in the world, based on 335,106 ratings for 11,258 dishes in its database.

Southern Thai Food (Kaeng Tai Pla): A sour soup consisting of fish organs with vegetables.

In second place was the sardine sandwich from Spain, with a score of 1.9.

East London’s traditional jellied eels scored just 2.1 stars, with foodies snubbing its unusual texture.
But it was bad news for the UK, as the roundup did not include any British food, but rather traditional creations from places such as Germany, the United States, France, Brazil and Italy.
First up was the lechona, a traditional Colombian dish that consists of a whole roasted pig stuffed with various ingredients, such as onions, peas, fresh herbs and spices.
Rated 4.78 out of five on the website, the food is often cooked for celebrations, as one lechon can create 100 or more servings at times.
But tourists can also discover Colombian delicacy in some restaurants in larger cities, according to the guide.
In second place was the Neapolitan pizza. Traditionally, the Italian dish has a relatively thin crust, except for the edge, which, when baked, puffs up like a small bicycle tire.
It is rigorously prepared in a wood-fired oven and has two classic versions: Marinara (tomato, garlic, oregano and oil) and, the most famous, Margherita (tomato, mozzarella, oil and basil).
Tradition holds that Margherita pizza was created in 1889 by a local chef in honor of Queen Margaret of Italy, who was visiting the city. It has the red, white and green colors of the Italian flag.
Picanha, meanwhile, came in third, with the Brazilian dish referring to a fresh cut of beef from a specific part of the animal that is often grilled.

From Neapolitan pizza to panang curry, TasteAtlas unveiled its annual roundup of top-rated foods. In first place was the lechona (pictured), a traditional Colombian dish.

In tenth place were tibs, a popular Ethiopian dish of meat and vegetables sautéed in a savory sauce (file photo).
Next, the guide introduced Rechta, a traditional Algerian dish of fresh, flat noodles served with a tasty chicken sauce. It is often given as a gift at weddings because it is a celebratory dish.
In fifth place was the Thai panang curry, which often includes beef, chicken, duck or pork, served without adding vegetables to the sauce.
While many Thai curries are quite soupy, panang is more of a modest, rich, sweet, salty and nutty sauce, with a hint of spice from cumin, coriander and nutmeg.
The barbecue occupied sixth position in the guide, whose title refers to a cooking technique and social event in several South American countries.
Said to be similar to a barbecue, it is an occasion attended by loved ones and beef, pork, chicken and chorizo are cooked outdoors on a special brick-built grill called a barbacoa.
Çökertme kebabı, a traditional Turkish kebab made with marinated beef strips, French fries, tomato sauce and yogurt, earned seventh place in the definitive guide.
Meanwhile, eighth place was taken by rawon, an Indonesian beef soup known for its dark color thanks to the spices it uses.
Ninth place went to Cağ kebabı, a traditional dish said to have originated in the province of Erzurum, Türkiye.
The lamb is marinated in an onion mixture for at least 24 hours and then piled onto a skewer and grilled over an open flame for a delicious meal.
In tenth place was tibs, a popular Ethiopian dish of meat and vegetables sautéed in a savory sauce.
