Question for non-Americans

Grits, hog jowels and possum pie, outdoors under the palm trees next to the ceement pond on a warm Saturday afternoon.
 
Being Australian, a lot of "American" foods are available here. But to me, "deep-fried" = American. As in: "deep-fried oreos", "deep-fried turkey" etc. In Australia, turkey is always roasted. And oreos (which are available in the supermarkets, although probably manufactured locally under license) are just eaten out of the packet.

I'm wondering if anyone outside the Americas ever eats cornbread or hominy.

Also, are pumpkins grown and eaten in other countries?
 
Pumpkins are a very common Australian item, especially in baked/roast dinners, and in soup.

But something VERY Australian are pumpkin scones!

I don't know if those things reach even "the Americas." Cornbread is, I believe, available at Kentucky Fried Chicken franchises. And I don't know what hominy is though I'm sure I've heard the word before. I'm even sure someone on here has been kind enough to explain it, though I can't remember for the life of me. Some part of a pig?

I don't think most Americans have eaten either thing. Deep Fried Turkey is a recent thing maybe in the last 10 years and it has to be done outside in a special cooker and is dangerous. Deep fried Oreos are usually found at fairs or other special events.

Speaking of which. I wonder if funnel cakes are American. :drool:
 
This really interesting. I am surprised at some of the answers. I am American but I wouldn't offer a Twinkie or cheese in a can to my worst enemy. I had a deep fried OREO once, notice I said once. It was weird. Is funnel cake unique to the US?

PS. After reading this thread I want a turkey cheeseburger.
 
One thing I've only seen in the south is biscuits and gravy. It looks like slop over biscuits and I've even seen them advertised at McDonald's for breakfast.

Hominy is what they grind to make grits.

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.

Thanks guys, I thought as much. When I think about authentic German hamburgers / hot dogs, the image of the meat is much less 'artificial' than when I think of the American counterpart. I have quite a negative image of Americans in regard to health, I should probably work on that considering Australia as a whole is probably just as bad.

I'm a massive Oreo fan, so I never really thought they would be seen as American. If ever I'm the one to do the grocery shopping I'll usually pick up a box if they catch my eye. Same goes with peanut butter, though I'm not a big fan of it, I never thought it would be seen as a typically 'American food' considering its abundance in Australia.
 
Bottled water! (OK, I think it started in France...but really "took off here" as NOC just said while I'm on the phone now...)

what a silly idea, as far as I'm concerned...what a waste of resources...

I've never eaten Cornbread and never even heard of Hominy before now.

Pumpkins are grown in the UK for halloween lanterns. You don't see them in the shops at other times of the year and I've never eaten any. Braex27 was astonished when I told him that, so I guess it's eaten in Australia. On the other hand, he's never had Rhubarb which must me more of a British thing.

Chicken and waffles is really good - contrasting textures, flavors, all that. I didn't know it was a Southern thing - as someone else posted, I think - I thought it was a West Coast thing.

I am on the west coast and I have never heard of it. The only things we eat with waffles (or pan cakes) is eggs, pork sausage, bacon, and maybe hash browns... but hash browns generally go more with omlette's then waffles.
 
Here's a food story for ya:

I'm Australian, but when I backpacked around the world I worked part-time in a kitchen in an English pub. For Australia Day, I decided to make "The Great Aussie Burger With The Lot" as a special. An Australian hamburger "with the lot" comprises the burger bun, a ground beef pattie, fried onion, lettuce, tomato, cheese, bacon, a fried egg, a slice of pineapple, beetroot, and either barbecue sauce or tomato sauce (ketchup).

Beetroot is what really upsets the foreigners. They just don't get it.

In the English pub, not a single customer ordered the special. The pub manager ended up asking for one, because he felt sorry for me.

We eat beetroot in England. That burger just sounds OTT, so I'm not surprised it didn't sell.

It would be African American foods like chitlins, collard greens, pig's feet, etc because these foods aren't eaten in Canada since the African Canadian population is small.

Chicken and waffles. I don't understand how those two goods were put together.

Ooh lovely. Next to a decent meat pie, the great Australian burger with the lot is one of the truly wonderful comfort foods. Those silly English not wanting at least to try one!
