Really root beer? Nothing better than a root beer float.

Other foods included were corn dogs and grits. Nothing better than a state fair corn dog and shrimp and grits is a gourmet option for me.

My first thought, too. I never drink it...it’s always a float.

Well, they are right about processed cheese. Or should I say processed cheese product. It’s interesting how the manufacturers include “product” in their description. Gotta be a reason for that.

So it’s real cheese or nothing for me. And thanks to Biden’s inflation, sometimes it’s nothing.

There’s a time and place for a brick of Velveeta. I’ve no problem with it.

Meanwhile, the critiques are coming from people that eat Heinz Beans on Toast for breakfast.

[”Really not keen on Hershey’s chocolate. Tastes okay, then aftertaste of vomit. Gimme dairymilk all day long.” - monkeytrouser]


They’re not imagining this. Hershey’s is made differently from European chocolates, and it supplies its domestic competitors. That’s why all American chocolate tastes different from its foreign counterparts.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/hersheys-chocolate-tastes-like-vomit-094500267.html
[“Hershey’s did for chocolate what a lot of industries did for Americans both before but certainly after World War II, in that they made previously ‘special occasion’ things readily accessible,” said Jason Liebig, a candy and brand historian. “In 1900, a chocolate bar might have been a pretty special treat, but by 1955, it was a far more typical occurrence.”

Part of the process to achieve this stability and year-round accessibility, D’Antonio said, involved spoiling the milk. This would be just to the point where the spoiling wouldn’t happen in the actual chocolate: the milk was safe and the chocolate’s flavor and quality was sustained. This method produced milk chocolate with that slight hint of tang. This product, with this flavor, came to be what Americans knew and loved as chocolate, providing the Hershey’s brand with a formula they’d stick with for consistency.

So, while Hershey’s may not take the extra step of adding butyric acid, they are using that fresh milk, which has butyric acid in it, and this continues to yield that familiar flavor.

Beckman explained another reason for the difference in flavor between Hershey’s and European chocolate: “The drivers of our distinctive flavor are the use of higher amounts of milk cooked at a lower temperature so the milk and sugar do not caramelize,” Beckman said, adding that European milk chocolates, because of cooking at a higher temperature, have more caramel flavor notes.]

The list is well-curated.

Might be a good way to suss out non-Natural Born Citizens!

Several of these I’ll agree with the author on their inedibility, but stay away from my corn dogs.

The trick to drinking
root beer is to frost
the mug. I’ve two.
One I’m drinking from,
the other’s in the
freezer ready to go.

Velveeta melted with a little milk and drizzled over seafood crepes is amazing.

Corn Dogs are OK. They’re not great but they’re OK.

I like Hershey’s. I like milk chocolate (that seems to be an Anglo-Saxon thing as the Brits prefer milk chocolate too). I don’t like that bitter dark chocolate the Yurps like.

Bloomin’ onions are good. Sure, you can overdo it because they are greasy but some as an appetizer are good.

Grits are good. The Northern Italian dish Polenta is extremely similar. Sure grits are bland with nothing on them. Ever had a potato with nothing on it? Its bland as hell too. My traditional Southern Shrimp n’ Grits (with cheese of course) will blow your doors off. Grits are also good with just salt and pepper and butter.*

*Note: this excludes instant grits. No self respecting Southerner would ever have anything to do with instant grits which are vile.

I agree with the foreigners about the other 6.

Thi March 27, 2017, article simply states that these opinions are from Redditors and Quora users outside the United States. It was not a real survey in a statistical sense, amd being over seven years old, the article doesn’t have much value other than clickbait.

Apparently these Europeans/Aussies can’t write without cursing, f-bombs and God’s name in vain. That’s very disgusting.

I find several disgusting as well. But not grits - they’re the best.

Then, I reckon they should go home and eat their own vittles.
