water corn dogs cheap sausages dipped in butter and deep fried you know american american food
is sometimes made fun of by foreigners to be honest in some cases we can't really blame them
so on that note here are 10 american foods that baffle foreigners it's a disgusting american food
chicken and waffles tj thank god you're here how'd you find me it's the only chicken and
waffle place in all holland okay hating on chicken and waffles is practically a crime
a mix of crispy sweet and salty all rolled into one delicious dish what's not to love about that
from coast to coast and for generations chicken and waffles have been a southern comfort staple
beloved by americans for ages and we wouldn't trade it for anything however when someone from
outside of the u.s tries or even hears about the chicken waffle combination they just don't seem
to understand the hype to an outsider pairing crispy fried chicken with a waffle along with
some melted butter slathered in syrup and gravy is simply not the way to go no i don't want it
i want it if you don't want it many foreigners have reported finding the combo weird unappetizing
and downright repulsive comparing it to mixing tuna and chocolate most say they like a good piece
of chicken and fancy a waffle but can't fathom why anyone would want to put the two together
obviously we're not going to let these opinions affect our love for chicken and waffles because
well it's just too darn good to stop eating you can have this mouse-watering delectable dish
for any meal of the day and it will satisfy all your cravings at once every single time
hershey's chocolate we didn't get the whole chocolate ball
but we got a hershey's kiss i think this one shouldn't come as much of a surprise because as
much as we love our hershey's chocolate bars there are so many other quality fine chocolates around
the world that we have yet to experience comparing our generic brand to one of these would simply be
unfair especially since most of us haven't even tried half of the world's chocolate nevertheless
it doesn't change the fact that foreigners do not seem to appreciate hershey's chocolate
indeed most foreigners have claimed that hershey's chocolate bars taste like vomit yeah not the most
appetizing descriptions that's for sure it's disgusting yes it is but disgusting in a really
great way the reason why someone might pick up the unpleasant taste is that hershey's uses butyric
acid in its chocolate which is also found in well vomit oh and in parmesan cheese as well
because of the acid the chocolate has a little tanginess which foreigners say gives
the chocolate a very unpleasant taste but even beyond that very graphic description of taste
foreigners in general just say hershey's chocolate is bad quality and is nothing compared to
what they deem real chocolate whatever others think hershey's chocolate bars are here to stay
sure it might not be the highest of quality but who cares we love it we love it we love
three corn dogs for 99 cents who could possibly eat three corn dogs and have a dollar corn dogs
are another concept no foreigner seems to be able to support or even comprehend corn dogs have
been the star of our amusement parks carnivals and baseball games for what seems like forever
and have always been a delicious treat that can be enjoyed at any given time a hot dog covered
in cornmeal batter and deep fried to perfection is already pretty cool but put it on a stick and
you have got yourself one genius and convenient invention but just because we feel like corn dogs
are genius doesn't mean other people think the same way in fact most foreigners are a bit freaked
out by corn dogs stewie relax no brian you keep that thing away from me how could a hot dog be
on a stick and still be edible is a question that is frequently asked by foreigners seeing the junk
food classic for the first time the answer is pretty straightforward you need to try one to
see what the fuss is about yes it's junk food and eating junk food is not high on the list for some
but no one should ever feel shame when eating a corn dog it's more than just fried dough on
a stick it's an american icon you simply can't walk past a corndog stand without getting the urge
to get one whether it's because of a craving or nostalgia any reason is good enough to indulge in
a corn dog before calling it disgusting everyone should at least give one a try it's delicious
sweet potato casserole holy casserole what's the one classic dish that somehow always winds up on
many americans thanksgiving tables that's right a sweet potato casserole the ultimate mix of fluffy
candy and a starchy root vegetable from an outside perspective once again we can kind
of understand that sweet potato casserole might seem a little kooky but in its defense this dish
has been a tradition for decades and we've grown quite fond of the marshmallow slash potato mix
the first ever recipe for this casserole was featured in an early 1900s cookbook commissioned
by angelus marshmallows one of the first candy companies to sell sweets at reasonable prices
it was originally an effort to get americans to use marshmallows in their everyday cooking
and let's just say once we got a taste of it we were immediately hooked what is this glutinous
monstrosity before me foreigners however can't seem to fully wrap their heads around the concept
of pairing marshmallow and potatoes together we've been called many names for eating sweet
potato casserole in the first place but we don't care we're going to keep preparing this iconic
dish every thanksgiving to keep the tradition alive we'll eat it alongside our cranberry sauce
because that's just how we roll how we roll in our house baby pop tarts who wants pop-tarts
what's something you quickly grab from the pantry when you're in a rush in the morning
but don't want to skip breakfast a good old packet of pop-tarts the greatest most sugary
breakfast you could ever have but also one of the tastiest coming in a variety of flavors pop-tarts
are always there to provide nostalgic childhood memories and comfort us in bad times however these
nostalgic feelings are unfortunately not equally shared by everyone maybe it's because of the sugar
overload of the pastries in the morning or maybe it's the even sweeter filling with a supposed
weird consistency but whatever it is foreigners do not want to jump on the pop-tart bandwagon
at all you don't want to eat it this little silver wrapper does not bring as much joy to them as it
does to us instead it brings up health concerns and the urge to throw them away we guess it's fair
it's not everyone who enjoys a sugary breakfast but we sure as heck do plus pop-tarts are so
beloved even when junk food sales started to decline pop-tart sales were still soaring perhaps
they just haven't found the right flavor yet brown sugar and cinnamon should lead them in the
right direction now i'm finally on the right path root beer a root beer fixes everything americans
hold soda in very high regard it might not be the best thing for our health but a nice cold
glass of sparkling sugar once in a while is always appreciated root beer in particular is a true gem
of american culture and also one of the most hated sodas by foreigners but how can you love coca-cola
yet hate root beer with a passion it's all about the ingredients it's made with while some greatly
appreciate the taste of licorice and wintergreen mixed together others find it weirdly reminiscent
of cough syrup and with good reason you see root beer was originally made from sassafras which is
often used in medicines in many other countries and well it's fair to say that people in general
don't find the taste of medicine to be a very appealing one if you've ever been forced to
swallow spoonfuls of cough syrup as a kid you'll understand where this root beer hatred comes from
it was cough syrup even though root beer is no longer made with real sassafras due to health
concerns there is still a sassafras-like flavoring from a saffron-free extract which gives off the
same sickly taste to those not used to root beer oh and foreigners also have a lot to say about the
amount of ice we put in our soda but to be honest there's nothing better than an ice cold glass of
root beer on a hot summer day root beer is super water grits have been a sacred staple on every
southern table for ages and are one of the classic american dishes that shouldn't be messed with
while they were born in the south grits have been able to win the hearts of almost everyone across
the country however foreigners don't see grits in the same way made from white corn the texture
of grits has been compared to a lot of inedible things such as tiny rocks and even wallpaper paste
by foreigners now don't say that to any avid grits fan those could be fighting words that's it you're
asking for a woman while it's true that if you don't cook your grits properly you might end up
with a pretty rocky consistency since the corn is still hard but if you know what you're doing and
you pair them with the right seasoning you simply can't go wrong and when they're infused with
cheese it's like heaven on earth so next time you come across a foreigner who claims to hate grits
just make sure they try the right kind and give them something to change their minds
this is actually really good sliced bread we are gonna be the best thing since sliced bread
sometimes you don't know what you're missing until you try it and apparently we've been missing out
on real bread our entire lives at least that's according to most foreigners who try our sliced
bread for the first time for an american the best thing since sliced bread is well sliced bread but
for someone who grew up on genuine baguettes and buns their whole life it's a travesty if you walk
into any american grocery store you will find the bakery section filled with dozens of different
kinds of bread already sliced and packaged for the perfect quick and easy sandwich or to pop
in the toaster it's basically an ingenious invention designed to save some time all the
while enjoying a versatile snack time is money peaches the concept of sliced bread just doesn't
seem to really stick with foreigners claiming we don't know what real bread is words like bland
boring and even too sweet have often been used to describe how other people see our beloved sandwich
maker and while sliced bread isn't exactly the most flavorful option out there it can still hold
its own in certain situations just add some deli meats and a bunch of veggies along with a slice of
cheese and you have got yourself the sandwich of a lifetime plus all those fancy loaves and
baguettes require the extra step of slicing and frankly who has the time for that ain't nobody
got time for this peanut butter oh look at little laura ingles eating that peanut butter sandwich
peanut butter speaking of things that go great with sliced bread peanut butter is another
american classic that doesn't sit right with a lot of foreigners honestly how can anyone hate peanut
butter aside from those who are allergic of course it can be eaten in a sandwich with apple slices
heck it can even make celery acceptable spread generously on a piece of toast in the morning
or enjoyed shamelessly by the spoonful peanut butter is the ultimate morning starter so why
is the love for the spread not shared by the rest of the world well mostly because they don't think
it actually makes anything taste better or that it even tastes good on its own for that matter
our food is often criticized as being too salty too sweet or even too mushy and in the case of
peanut butter it's a combination of all three and that's why we go crazy for the stuff it's wet oil
in your mouth and then the driest food known to man all at the same time it's salty and sweet at
the same time and brings a nice smoothness to whatever you put it on more than 90 of
american homes keep a jar of peanut butter in the pantry and about three pounds is eaten per person
every year go outside of north america and you are guaranteed to have a much harder time getting your
hands on a jar france italy sweden and japan are some examples of places where peanut butter is
not welcome a little piece of advice if you're a peanut butter nut and you're traveling abroad
it might be a good idea to stick a jar or two in your suitcase you know just in case hey did you
pack the sriracha peanut butter two bottles how about dave's potato noodles it's all in there
american cheese i will buy you some cheese no fat cheese low-fat cheese low-fat american cheese
yet another sandwich favorite that won't receive the stamp of approval from anyone outside of the
u.s is american cheese for this particular item however we can kind of see where the dislike is
coming from let's just say our bright neon orange cheese isn't exactly the most natural kind of
cheese out there after all it is illegal to even label it as real cheese but still we love it our
grilled cheese and tomato soup lunches would not be the same without the questionable yet familiar
color of melted american cheese while we may like to slap a slice on just about anything especially
burgers most foreigners will agree the stuff tastes like plastic it's pretty understandable
really since it contains so many additives oh well maybe it's an acquired taste or maybe they simply
forgot to take the wrapper off of course you can't talk about american cheese without mentioning the
one and only cheese whiz can i get some cheese whiz or hollandaise to be fair even here cheese
whiz does not have the biggest vote of confidence either according to foreigners and some americans
cheese whiz not only tastes like plastic but also comes with potential health issues
that's not going to make you want to dip your crackers in it even though every country has
its own cheese making traditions and specialties we can't really claim that american cheese slices
are the best of the best it looks like we still have some work to do in the cheese department
we have to fix it stay for seconds and tap or click another great video
