The United Arab Emirates, or UAE ranks 7th on our list of countries with the worst food, unhealthiest cuisines in the world. It has a lot of similarities in their traditional cuisines as most of the countries mentioned on this list. Regularly used ingredients in popular dishes include a variety of meats, rice, wheat, dairy, and ghee; which is a clarified butter thought to have healthier properties than butter. The UAE cuisine has a lot of cinnamon, cardamom, turmeric, and saffron in its dishes, but they also got some unique grub on their menu. For instance, camel is a big hit. It can be prepared a number of different ways, stuffed camel being one that is served on special occasions. And the way the Emirati’s make their camel has evolved over the years, as well. Camel in burger form sounds like a fun new spin on an old staple food.
