I’m a first-generation American of European ancestry and I like extra Amaretto syrup in my latte and butter and extra syrup on my pancakes. So much for that theory!
Irish/English/German mix here. I drink nothing sweet and really hate anything sweet that isn’t supposed to be sweet. There is nothing more disgusting in the world than a perfectly good cuke being turned into a sweet pickle! ICK!
Hubby and I are both equally european in descent, both 1/2 second generation american born and both 100% euro, he likes sugar in coffee and I don’t. I don’t really like sweet drinks at all. A good cold soda once in a while that is about it. But I put sugar on cereal and he does not. The kid takes after him in this, as in most things.
English, Welsh, Scots, French, and German ancestry here: I concur with your analysis.
To paraphrase Monty Python, "Butter, butter, butter, waffles, and butter."
Sweetened whipped cream; syrups; sugar in coffee AND tea; extra thick frostings and icings....
