they kept giving me broiled tomatoes
Plain? No cheese or garlic or stuffings? What a terrible thing to do to an innocent tomato.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Grilled tomatoes are great. Mmm.

Compassionately intolerant
I'd agree, except for the volume I had to consume. NO variety...no options, perhaps. But, ugh.

Or maybe it was the freakybad indian/midwestern homecooking diner by the hospital.
Seriously, my brain recalls the fries in weird places! but absolutely nothing about where I came across them. Well, at least they can't kill me.

I always have a weird disconnect between "broil" and "grill". Possibly because "broil" is too close to "boil", and then I get confused.

I enjoy the Irish food. Food cooked poorly sucks no matter what cuisine it is. Yell at the individual cooks, don't cast aspirsions on an entire culture.
Good Irish food: bacon, sausage, potato anything, beer, irish soda bread, brown bread, butter. Also, you can just have some damn decent stuff in ireland, salmon and lamb and shepards pie, and I loves me some corned beef. Cooking corned beef till grey is a sign of a bad cook, not a bad culinary culture.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
What she said. This is probably one of the foods I was happiest about being allergic to.
You don't even like bacon! Your food credibility hovers around nil.

No, no. As a culture, they've earned it.

I just recall finding fries in my scrambled eggs, fries in pasta sauce, fries in pasta and cheese, served with chicken... well, it was either the CzechR, Russia, Hungary, Zambia or Zimbabwe.
If it helps you narrow it down any, I don't remember getting randomly fried in the Czech Republic or Hungary, although I was only there for a few days and they might have been holding out on me.

I think it's certainly possible to dislike the best cooked foods of any ethnicity. If the things that characterise Thai are horrible to you, they just are.
bacon, sausage, potato anything, beer, irish soda bread, brown bread, butter.
Are the bacon and sausages different from the ones you'd get in the rest of the British Isles? I don't doubt they're great, but I see Irish food as food that's different from day to day fare in the UK.
