So, there was an AskReddit question asked of non-Americans about American food. Specifically, food that they thought was disgusting, whether visually, based on taste or didn’t roll well on a conceptual level.

While by Reddit standards the post got a modest amount of upvotes, clocking in at nearly 4,000 upvotes, it generated a conversation of over 6,600 comments, and that’s definitely something.

Looked it up. I knew they were Antique- but they're older than I guessed; going back into the 1800's somewhere. Very common, very popular, very cheap. They're a "firm marshmallow" and the flavor is artificial banana. Mostly people still eat them because they are a memory of childhood "Grandpa used to give us these" kind of thing.

Now, it’s hard to draw a definitive line of what food is universally considered disgusting. You can argue that anything with excessive amounts of [insert any ingredient here] or an extreme lack thereof could constitute disgust. Others might argue that if it looks like something you’d fish out of the Mariana Trench. And yet others think eating bugs and fire is probably not something you should do in general.

No, it’s mostly subjective, and there’s actually a test for that.

In fact, it’s not just necessarily personal experience—like mother forcing us to down fish oil because “it’s good for you” but it has the smell, taste and consistency of used and marinated bathwater—but also cultural.

If you grew up at the seaside, freshly-caught fish and seafood might be commonplace to you. If you were, however, raised vegan from the get-go, you might find raw meat stomach-churning. Maybe you didn’t grow up in a culture that fosters culinary traditions of fermentation and preservation.

It’s not to say it can’t be particular, mayhaps even more personal, instances where food left a bitter taste in your mouth. Everyone experiences flavors, dishes, and textures in their own unique way. As such, you just might not like how things taste.

And sometimes it’s even deeper than that, biologically speaking. We have a self-preservation mechanism, after all. Because of this, our brain might not let us enjoy food that might make us ill because it contains uncomfortable levels of bacteria, mold or flat out insects.

Now, having a heritage or experience that dictates taste, preference, what you have is all fine and dandy. What is not cool, however, is gatekeeping and judging. No doubt, whenever the topic of disgusting foods arises, you’re likely to find folks who go at it in the comments, saying “how can you eat this?” and “you’re disgusting.”

Sure, having the right mindset in terms of food—especially if it’s washing and cooking it properly, avoiding cross-contamination and whatnot, but bashing someone for honoring their culture (and maybe genuinely liking rotten salted fish) leaves a bad taste.

30 Stomach-Churning Foods That Are A Thing In America And Non-Americans Online Don’t Know Why My parents are immigrants, they always say the desserts (grocery store cupcakes and stuff) has so much sugar it feels too gritty and uncooked to them.
Also soft baked things, like chewy chocolate chip cookies they thought were weird in the beginning, like the cookie was undercooked. I love soft baked cookies though so I baked them all the time, they’ve come around to liking them haha.

Another one I hear a lot is the food coloring. My mom is often perplexed and grossed out by very saturated unnaturally colored foods. (Usually frosting or candy) She tells me it just LOOKS unhealthy and is unappetizing.

Also, my mom is low key traumatized from twizzlers LOL. She said the first time she saw it she wondered why people were chewing on plastic. She then tried it and said it also tasted like plastic. Haha.

Grits are "hominy", ground into polenta sized bits, served as a gruel; but it is NOT polenta. Hominy is Native American- dried maize is soaked in wood ash water overnight- this causes the kernels to swell and the outer seed coat split so that it can be removed. Hominy is the the swollen inner kernel The soaking wood ash exposes the grain to Potassium hydroxide, lye; in Mexican cooking the same effect is often achieved using burnt limestone; so Calcium hydroxide This in fact increases the nutritional value of the maize- . If you like Mexican food- it's all over the place: masa based dough is all via this process.

Bacon (back, soft), fried eggs, fried bread, black pudding, beans, mushrooms and a gallon of tea (full English) isn't so different from bacon (streaky, incinerated), scrambled eggs, stack of waffles/pancakes with syrup, hash browns, and gallon of coffee that is the left-pondian equivalent.

Verena 7 months ago

Because not all three main meals of a day are huge. A big breakfast is common in wide parts of Europe, because people get up early, do their agricultural morning chores, then eat, then continue or it is too hot later on the day to eat and dinner will be at 9pm or 10 pm. It is quite common to have a big breakfast to get you started, then a small lunch to keep you going and a mid-sized dinner/supper/tea to refuel but lets you sleep well. Depending on profession and climate the meals are switched, but the big - mid - small combo is widely used.

I didn't think people were trying to say every american eats these. That's not what I think anyway. Also I figured people were more blaming the food companies than american individuals.

Let’s stop hating on US food. The truth is, every country has its yuck meals. We can make a separate category here on BP” Weekly gross food from all over the world” Japan, famous for its healthy food, has so many literally impossible to digest meals. Let’s be fair.

Lets not pretend things that people eat in other countries Americans would find disgusting. I say you dont like it, dont f***** eat it, bring your own food or just dont come here at all.

This was fun, and with amazingly little blood spilt. :-) General information- one of my history teachers pointed out that when nationalism gets ugly- food- often becomes a focus of insults. That the French eat frogs, and the British eat too much beef, both found reprehensible, and said so loudly. 100 years ago. Similar statements of disgust crop up regularly and too easily become excuses to kill each other. So we're doing well here, I think. :-)

seems like the word Salad in American means something entirely different to the word Salad in English

"Fench dressing". Nothing French about it. Root beer. Tastes like mouthwash to me.

Interesting- in Japan about 50% of folks absolutely loathe root beer- seems a real taste bud variation.

As an American I can't understand a Full English breakfast. So much fat and calories. It is also huge. So that is why I don't understand why they are floored by our portion sizes.

A full English isn't something most people would eat every morning. It's usually for the weekends or when you're hungover. And if you have a full English for breakfast you probably won't eat lunch.

I'm a Brit and can't for the life of me understand how anyone can eat a full English for breakfast!

Yep, very true. You need to find the good food (or make it yourself).

As an American I clearly don't live enough because I have never had, only heard of, most of these!

People left the UK and started a new country in North America because the food was so bad. That’s my theory. Hint: it is totally ok for people to like different things. Try to be an adult about it.

I want to add a weird UK food, but I can't think of one that's peculiar to here. I mean, black pudding, jellied eels, faggots, they all exist in other countries
