Best is pb and honey and banana! Back when I could eat pb anyway.
Can’t really picture it well because I hate apple pie. I actually hate all cooked fruit, but apples are worst. I just can’t get into the texture.
(Am I gonna get thrown out of the American food thread for dissin’ apple pie?)
:eek: How can you live with yourself?
Why do you hate America?
The terrorists have already won.
Despite the nay-sayers, I am now craving biscuits and sausage gravy.
I’m an American but I’ve never tried deep fried pickles. From one of the descriptions they sound like salt and vinegar potato chips. Someone at work had some once so I tried one, it was weird, so I had to have another and another Next thing I knew I’d eaten a lot of them. Every once in a while I’ll buy some and experience the same thing again and eat too many. Then my mouth shrivels up and hurts and I say I’ll never do it again … but I do.
I’ve heard that Brits have some interesting flavors of crisps. Can anyone enlighten me?
LOL. No, just Mocked!
Big hugs from us here OpalCat!
Being a military family we had access to a lot of American stuff, but our diet was pretty British. When I came to America in the 1980s a couple of things threw me for a loop.
The size of a Texas burger joint burger. Not McDonalds, or BK, but something like Hut’s or Austin Burger Works. Massive, man!
When I taught in Houston my students would eat one of those stinky ass dill pickles that looks like a green turd… with a peppermint stick in the middle of it. Ewww!
Lack of variety in crisps - we had bacon & tomato, prawn cocktail, salt & vinegar, and about thirty other flavors… pretty much all you could get in the 80s was sour cream and onion and BBQ flavor in America. That’s changed, though.
American candy bars suck compared to British candy bars. I love a Brit Kit Kat or Cadbury’s Fruit & Nut, or Penguin, or Club, or a proper Mars bar… our versions of what Brits have aren’t as good. And a Mars bar in the US is very different from the UK version.
I miss tons of British food we don’t have here: bangers, sausage rolls, proper fish and chips in paper, Cornish pasties, Mr. Kipling’s cakes and pies, Lilt soda…
And I’ve been to the Taco Bell in Piccadilly. I wonder if it’s still there? They had no salsa, but they had sour cream in the early 1980s. For a country with no Mexican food of any kind, it was pretty decent.
Now you’ve got me wondering what Canada’s disgusting delicacy is. 
OH OH I’ve got it - Hawkins Cheezies!
Yeah, BBQ usually takes a long time to make, but by the time people start ordering it the ribs, brisket, or whatever are already pretty much done and the orders come just about as quickly as one might exepct at McDonald’s or Burger King.

I believe he asked what other countries do to food. He didn’t ask what is done to food at the most loathsome depths of hellish dimensions of puppy rapers.
Don’t any of you ever put sugar on your buttered grits? What’s wrong with you?
Isn’t it? How odd!
Does anyone know whether Aussies have the UK or US version?
I’m thinking pickle barrels in delicatessens might predate that!
CMC fnord!
Pickles at the movies is what really surprised me from the US.
Also KFC Famous Bowls, sides of whole kumera served as a side at steakhouses, biscuits and gravy (yuum), creamer in coffee, cherry flavouried diet pepsi, to name a few.
Cunctator I <3 beetroot on burgers.
American Mars Bars are what we in the UK call Milky Ways.
Brit Mars Bars are a bit like Milky Ways but are denser, not so light and fluffy, and have a big wedge of caramal along the top of the fluffy bit.
Oh, and American chocolate sucks big time. Hershey bars taste like that fake chocolate we used to get in cheap sweets in the 70s.
Well, we are pretty sheltered around these parts, but potato skins are pretty common, now.
We have both Milky Ways and the denser Mars Bars. Apparently neither is as good as the UK version.
Are you having real maple syrup, or that fake-ass Aunt Jemima shit?
Poutine!
Yep. I’d have to be VERY hungry before I’d eat that…
I’ve never had poutine, but this was gonna be my guess as well. I can actually imagine that it would taste pretty damn good. But the description of it is revolting.
I wonder if the maple-and-peanut butter is a regional thing, more common in areas where maple syrup is more common. Down here, real maple is pretty exotic; I love the stuff, but it’s a rare treat. When honey is so much cheaper, I can’t imagine why anyone would eat PB&MS instead.
