I’d have to agree with everything disgusting on this list, save for the root beer, and that PB&Js aren’t all that bad. Been some decades since I’ve had either, though.

They really should have put Hershey’s “chocolate” in quotes.

Didn’t the government definition of chocolate get corrupted to include the stuff made from a generous helping of palm oil pastes?

Grease enough palms, and anything can become “food”.

There are plenty of current youtube videos w/ Brits/Europeans trying some of these foods, and the sentiments are real - especially the Root Beer.

Things they LOVE once they try them - sausage gravy on biscuits and sweet iced tea.

Root Beer Floats nearly converted my Russian girlfriend into an American. She was repulsed by the idea, but upon trying pronounced it “delicious”, and she was a fan. Corn Dogs can be truly awesome: My dad used to organize and work at the Rotary Club’s Corn Dog Booth at the County Fair when I was a kid. He was a stickler, insisting that they actually make the dogs there, jamming them onto their sticks, dipping them in the just-right consistency batter, and deep frying. Outstanding. My buddies and I got the ‘rejects’ for free, and we’d sometimes snag a beer from the LIon’s Club booth a few feet away.

Regarding Cheese Whiz, I knew in college a guy from Guam who discovered it in the store one day. “DO YOU GUYS KNOW ABOUT THIS STUFF???” He thought it was the perfect food, and spooged it onto EVERYTHING for the next four years.

Foreigners do not understand the utility of grits. With copious butter and salt, there is nothing better suited to whip your endocrine system into a fury so as to prepare you for ploughing ten acres behind a mule.

hell there’s people in THIS country that find grits disgusting.......personally speaking, if you’ve never had a bowl of grits prepared the RIGHT way, topped by a sausage pattie and over easy egg you’ve never lived IMO. 🙂

Great. More burgers for me. The rest of the world can eat their live squid, jellied eels, snails and vegemite.

That's disgusting. Now B&M Beans, maybe.

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

For breakfast might be a little much for me but, for supper, I'll pop a top on a can of Bush's Beans and eat them right out of the can (with a pack of saltines). A generous spritz of BBQ on top is even better. NOTE: I only do this if the wife is out of town and I'm too lazy to put together a real meal.

Mostly when they discover it's not beer.

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

——————

From “My Cousin Vinny”

Gambini: Right, so you knew that. Uh, do you remember what you had?

Mr. Tipton: Eggs and grits.

Gambini: Eggs and grits. I like grits too. How do you cook your grits? You like ‘em regular, creamy, or al dente?

Mr. Tipton: Just regular, I guess.

Gambini: Regular. Instant grits?

Mr. Tipton: No self-respecting southerner uses instant grits. I take pride in my grits.

Makes me laugh. If you watch the Brit Beard Meets Food, he always orders root beer.

While corn dogs, PB&J and root beer was a staple for me growing up, my wife (from the UK) has a different perspective. She has never eaten a hot dog or PB&J, and says she never will. I tried to tell her when she went to her citizenship ceremony, they had to have photographic proof you ate at least one PB&J sandwich. After all...hundreds of millions of American children (past and present) can’t be wrong on such a tasty treat.

Russians on the other hand have this thing about all things corn related. To them, corn is only used as pig feed, and never for human consumption.
