You seem to speak the same language and look similar, but the stuff you eat may as well be from another planet.
cheese-whiz, grits, pepsi-blue, coke-yellow, whiz-grits, beef-wozzers, ocean breeze, telephone-whiz, double-choc-lato-mate-mocka-whiz, whiz-whiz,
by the way - do any of those cheese ‘products’ taste anything like cheese? I have never had the guts to try the few that have made it over here (cheese string)
and peanut butter&jelly sandwitches! eugh, how on earth is that a popular thing in America?
Report of the average American supermarket from a friend back from the States (I can’t vouch for this):
“The range is incredible. We have one or two styles of a given product, the Yanks have a hundred and thirty seven. We have fifteen checkout lanes, they have eighty. But… but… all the product labelling is straight out of the fifties!”
You guys may wish to disagree - it’s just what I heard.
Peanut butter and jelly is best on waffles, but a regular PB&J sandwich will do in a pinch - like when the only alternative is vegemite.
Grits are a delicate proposition. I’m not a southerner, so I probably don’t do it right, but they’re pretty good fried with some sausage. Not so good just boiled up and slopped on the plate with a gob of butter.
As far as the obsession with cheese, I’ll only eat cheese made out of actual cheese. No cheez whiz, cheese in a can, cheese spread, or cheese food product for me. It tastes like cheese the way a maraschino cherry tastes like a fresh ripe cherry.
Blood pudding is what everyone quotes when they want to talk about weird eating habits in britain. Is there anything else you can think of?
I happen to love it (it is far more commonly called BLACK PUDDING so please everyone stop calling it blood pudding) I had some just yestarday at a cafe, in a meal which included something orange named ‘white pudding’.
P.S. sorry if my op came off as er, nasty. It didn’t sound that way when I was thinking it.
I don’t know if this is correct, but to me “jelly” is fruit spread without seeds, and “jam” is fruit spread with seeds.
Before you all get on England’s case for their cuisine, remember that they gave us roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, plum pudding, fish’n’chips and scones.
Okay, now I understand your objection. That’s Jello ([sup]tm[/sup]?) to us, and no one except perhaps my younger daughter would put it in a sandwich.
String cheese, if it’s the same thing it is here, is simply mozzarella cheese. It’s not bad, if you don’t mind eating plain cold mozzarella cheese, and it’s called “string” cheese because you can peel it apart (since mozzarella has that definite grain to it).
Is it really true you people routinely eat various internal organs of animals scrambled at breakfast?
