It is.
Eating rice, is not that bad in Italy.
I am black belt in risotto.

I'm not Italian but this looks like it could be correct:

This was a good map too, of each country's most grotesque delicacy:

Scotland sounds like its got it going on. I'm down to try deep fried pizza. That sounds amazing.

Don't know what's wrong with Switzerland's item either.

Pretty Accurate.
Switzerland cuisine is Horror.
Unless you think putting an overpriced piece of meat on the grill is cuisine.
Also on the first image, I think the judgement on Spanish cuisine is a little bit too harsh.

I could actually live happily with Spanish cuisine (Polbo á la gallega, gambas al ajio, pata negra) are delicacies I could happily substitute a lot of italian plates for.

Regarding culinary Horroy I actually like a few of them
Squid Ink
Sea Urchins

I must agree with fillippone. Spanish cuisine is almost uniformly good - as is Portuguese cuisine, albeit imaginably less varied. French can be quite good too, if a little on the heavy side. Swiss cuisine? If you take out chocolate and cheese, you're left with overpriced meat and potatoes.

Squid ink is a delicacy. The taste is surprisingly subtle. Its shiny black gloss makes your lips look funny but provides spectacular presentation. Try it with a seafood risotto. It clots easily and tastes bad if overcooked, so it it's normally the last thing that gets added before serving. By the way, cuttlefish is better than squid for ink. Besides, squids begin to taste like ammonia when they're too big/old - especially the oceanic varieties.

I also like head cheese, sea urchins, and other supposed culinary horrors. It's not like "I'll eat just anything" - but in some cases the right ingredients and a skillful preparation can make the difference between delicious and disgusting.
