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.
This American finds the eating of bugs disgusting.
[”Really not keen on Hershey’s chocolate. Tastes okay, then aftertaste of vomit. Gimme dairymilk all day long.” - monkeytrouser]
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.
Foreigners? Who gives a rat’s butt whether they like it or not.
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.
Try making real TexMex queso without processed cheese... ask Chipotle why it can’t be done...
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.
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”.
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.
Mostly when they discover it's not beer.
