Nice to add some perspective - thanks Nittany.
Did we ask? Simps.
I note all of them have never actually eaten these things, but are appalled at the looks, or perceived flavor, etc.
How’d that old Alka-Seltzer commercial go, “Try it, you’ll like it.”?
I’m a northerners who went to col.ege in Florida, and got my first taste of grits there and loved them. We would put either butter or apple butter on them, salt and pepper If I remember right. Some kids ate them with sugar- but I found the taste didn’t need it in my opinion. The kids who didn’t like the grits would pass them over to us who did likethem. S
So you could say I was a foreigner in Florida tast8ng southern coo,ing for the first time, and loved it.
Elitist pr!cks.

Just don’t tinker with my “French Dressing”! I know it’s not literally what the French put on their lettuce, but I really don’t care. Do you?
About three years back, several grocers in my area stopped retail sales of any French Dressing version. Apparently, some unknown lobby group had been working at getting this flavor cancelled because it was deemed inauthentic.
A quiet but steady consumer push back followed.
Eventually, we got our preferred dressing back, authentic or not.
As a southerner they can blow me on grits. To Australians I’ve tasted vegimite. The most disgusting vile stuff. Brits. Boiled meat.
We called them "brown cows" when I was a kid.
If you use something as an adjective, it doesn't have the same rules. If it's a noun, it has to actually be cheese.
Great movie. That’s right. NO instant. I use the stone ground made in a small town Aynor SC outside of Myrtle Beach.
Many Americans feel the same way about rye bread, and even Americans who hate Wonder Bread don't go in for Russian black bread.
I don't think corn grows in most of Russia. Except in the south, the growing season is too short. Italians and Romanians, though, did take to eating corn mush.
They use the term “product” because yup, it includes non-cheese ingredients... chiefly milk and cream... that mean that the percentage of pure cheese contained is below some arbitrary threshold. I personally love blue cheese, but I think if you ask the average American would they like a cheese that is 15% milk or 2% mold, most people would go for the milk (unless they knew how yummy gorgonzola is). But cheese + 2% mold is cheese, but cheese + 15% other dairy products is “cheese product.”
Personally, I consider “cheese product” to be fit for niches: “American cheese” is bland kiddy food, being very resistant to crumbling; Velveeta melts beautifully; and sometimes being able to add sharp cheddar flavor as if it were whipped cream is just a delight.
That rotten shark is shaped disturbingly like Russia.
As far as I’m concerned this list is just more proof that I am AMERICAN, from the United States of America!!!
