" As an Australian , I would wish to know what in the flying firetruck a ' Bloomin ' onion plant ' has to do with anything — let alone the rest of Outback Steakhouse ’s menu . "
A while back, we wrote a post wherenon-American Redditors shared American foods that seem grossor — at the very least — quite confusing. Even more Reddit userssharedthe American foods they’re not too fond of — and of course, it gets heated. Here’s what they had to say:
1.“I remember a lime jello tuna salad ring made in a bundt pan by a distant relative. We told her with her work schedule, she shouldn’t bother with bringing food to potlucks.”
— atomic number 92 / DefrockedWizard1
2.“That sweet potato casserole recipe topped with pecans and marshmallows — a ‘traditional side at Thanksgiving table.'”
— atomic number 92 / pixgarden
" marshmallow on gratifying potatoes is so utter and foreign to me . "
— u / DonSmo
3.“Canned things that probably don’t need to be canned. Looking at you, whole white potatoes in water.”
— atomic number 92 / nuclear_cyanide
4.“I’m sorry but those slices of American cheese have always tasted so fake and plastic to me personally.”
— u / weyamav220
5.“When they introduced me to Chicago pizza, something in me died. That should not be called pizza — it’s just a devil fat pie.”
— u/2019Loser
6.“Grits. I tried it a few times and don’t hate it anymore, but it’s weird. Very weird.”

7.“As an Australian, I would like to know what in the flying firetruck a ‘Bloomin’ Onion’ has to do with anything — let alone the rest of Outback Steakhouse’s menu.”
8."[Midwestern] salads 🥲😬. Like, WTF, America! Crushed pineapples and marshmallows are not ingredients that belong near a salad 🤡😂."

9.“Mac and cheese where it does not belong. I’m looking at you, pizza and burgers.”
— u / HeyNow646
10.“Coffee creamer. It’s wild that’s even a thing. Just pour some milk in there.”

11.“Americans tend to like their bacon crispier. As a Canadian, I say chewy bacon for the win.”
— uracil / AstralCat69420
12.“Twinkies. WTF is it even made of? In my mind, it’s just pure sugar.”
— u / Huhu107
13.“Sloppy joes. The thing I find least appealing about burgers is when the filling falls off.”
— u / oogeej
14.“American bread. I’m sure you can get good bread somewhere in the US, but the generally available, sugary, long-shelf-life bread is so appalling.”
" Now , of course , your export of loyal - nutrient restaurants has nothing to do with haute cuisine , but any beefburger would be so much good if at least you used satisfactory bread . "

— u / yugosaki
17.“Ranch dressing. I once had a pizza in America, and it had ranch dressing on it. Ranch dressing doesn’t really exist in Europe, and it’s this weird, salty, fatty, mayo-like sauce — and it certainly does not belong on a pizza…or inside a human body for that matter.”
— u / No - Vehicle6028
18.“The chocolate out there is FOUL.”
— atomic number 92 / lcg25

20.“Spray…cheese???”
— u / spudboy226
And finally…
21.“Circus Peanuts. What are they? How do they have so much sugar but taste so horrible? What science experiments created them?”
