Ten American Foods I will Never Eat (Again)

Posted on February 20, 2012 | 10 Comments

1.  Chicken-fried steak with gravy: ground, fried beef that is kind of grayish, with gravy that is also grayish.

2. Donuts: fried cake rings.

3. Pork rinds: fried pork fat, eaten as chips.

4. S’mores: big flat cookies–deceptively called crackers–with roasted marshmallows and pieces of Hershey bars.

5. Hershey’s “chocolate”: In Holland it wouldn’t be legal to call it chocolate. It would be “chocolade fantasie”.

6. Ice cream with bacon. I kid you not: here’s proof. Another bright idea by one of America’s fast food chains.

7. Anything with cheese whiz. Cheese whiz is something that pretends to be melted cheese, but it’s so not!

8. Canned pork brains in milk gravy. Really!

9. Prairie oysters: bull’s or buffalo’s testicles, battered and fried.

10. Pickled pigs’ feet: hooves and all.

What’s terrible American foods have you eaten or seen? Send me your worst in a comment.

    Hmm, I think ice cream with bacon sounds pretty tasty. I think almost anything with bacon would be good, and this might get me to eat ice cream again!

    Hersheys smaakt naar kots. Heb een klein miniscuul hapje genomen nadat ik door een Nederlandse en Franse vriend gewaarschuwd was maar vond het idd ook smaken alsof je het al eens ophad en dan … Ehm als een koe zou doen? Maar goed mam wilde het proeven dus nam ik wat mee uit de VS. Zij vond het wel lekker (whut?!), eet smakelijk dan. Broertje en zusje vonden het naar chocolade cigaretten smaken maar die heb ik zelfs nog lekkerder in herinnering.
    Heb Hersheys al in de schappen gezien voordat ik naar de VS reisde maar durf ze hier in NL ook niet aan te raken. Ik hou het wel bij het goede Europese spul.
    Die andere dingen zijn ook erg ranzig. Zelfs doughnuts vind ik niet zo geweldig er zijn betere en lekkerdere baksels.
