  • Hi Guest - Did you know?
    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

Question for non-Americans

Grape Jelly - or that horrible substance that masquesrades as 'cheese' and comes in an aerosol can.
 
^ Oh yeah, cheese-in-a-can is the ULTIMATE US abomination of food! I should have thought of that!

Of everything mentioned above, Easy Cheese is the ONLY item I've never seen in another country.
 
I think it has to be something which hasn't become globalised. Yes, Coca Cola, McDonald's and Peanut Butter are all American but for me it's Hershey Bars.

Cool aid
Corn dog, chili dog, bear claw?
Donuts
Cheese burger
Chips (crisps)
Meat Loaf
Sloppy Joes
 
My friend, who lived in Florence for a year, told me that a rather large newspaper in Italy said that Americans celebrated the "Super Bowl" by having Hot Dogs and Hamburgers...

We laughed about it considering pizza is way more popular for Super Bowl than Hamburgers

So I guess that's what we eat, Hot Dogs and Hamburgers
 
It's probably not so much the menu as the quality of the items on the menu.

My impression of European food would be "Bakery, in operation for 200 years." My impression of American food would be "Wonderbread, with shelf life of 200 years."

I even recognize it's not really a fair characterization because of the variety down there, but it is the characterization in my mind that I have to overcome. I dunno if it's totally wrong though; many places value excellence, while Americans value commonality.

To a lesser extent, despite them being German foods (correct me if I'm wrong), foods like hamburgers / hot dogs (probably from hearing about the copious hot dog stands in NY etc.) spring to mind.

Their roots are German but the modern hamburger and hotdog are American creations.
 
ander123: The American hamburger and hot dog have little to do with their German roots; hamburgers have far too many vegetables on them, and hot dogs aren't necessarily the frankfurters you would expect.

I've never thought of peanut butter as American. (It actually dates back to Africa and China centuries ago!)

That would be sort of hard, especially as peanuts are native to North America, and peanut butter itself was invented by the Aztecs....

Pop-tarts, root beer, and all sorts of way too sweet candy. My local supermarket does "American week" every now and then, and those are the products that are promoted the most. If that's anything to go buy, I'm not surprised you've got problems with obesity.

I think it's a Southern thing. I see it all the time here and I've eaten them together a lot.

They eat chicken in the South? I thought they ate Gator down there. :)

My aunt lived in Louisiana for a while... she said they eat things there that most people wouldn't step on. :)
 
I've never heard of chicken and waffles served together either. Southern cuisine is in a class all their own...they eat a lot of foods not typical to the rest of the country. (chicken and waffles being one of the more palatable dishes. :p)

I'm surprised more non-Americans aren't saying hot dogs and apple pie...that's what I'd think is stereotypical.

For the record...I haven't eaten a twinkie in over 30 years. Cheese in a can...does anyone eat that (besides Rosanne?) Maybe I've had it once or twice ...nasty stuff.
 
Chicken and waffles? No way...

When I read that I thought "Chicken, and waffles." Not "Chicken-and-waffles!"

So here's me going "Waffles actually seem more european than anything. And chicken is universal. So how is either of those American?"

But Chicken and Waffles together? Ugh. Why not Roast Beef and meringue?
