Aussies Are Roasting Gross American Foods And Sharing What They Like And Pointed Out These 30

It can be scary to try out new foods, whether you fear insulting the chef or getting an upset stomach. But American foods are well-known and pretty popular around the world, so a lot of people have opinions about them.

They shared them when a person posed the question “What American foods/drinks/snacks/etc. do you think are disgusting? Which do you think are good?” in the subreddit Ask An Australian and they were ruthless.

I'll also never understand the American fascination with making everything cherry flavour. For one thing, cherries don't taste like that. For another, why would you want a soft drink, a snow cone, or even a condom that tastes like cough syrup?

Aussies Are Roasting Gross American Foods And Sharing What They Like And Pointed Out These 30 Good: Pumpkin pie. I thought it was a bizarre idea. My fiancé fell in love with it whilst he was eating from a USAF mess for a few months. I found a recipe online and talked it over with an American friend and made him one during a covid lockdown baking spree. It was amazing. We got a pre-made one from our local Costco a few months ago. That one was trash. I’ll stick to making my own.

Also good: everything I managed to try at the Cheesecake Factory.

Also good: Barbecue.

Disgusting: basically everything else. “Minnesota salads” spring to mind right now.

Not exactly a popular foodstuff to be fair. During the war there was very severe rationing and anything from the cow got eaten, even udders (shudder) but time moves on and food trends, often caused by factors such as war, money, environment, they change. Can't remember the last time I saw anything in a pub or restaurant that had kidneys in it. Though as this is an aussie critiquing American food why go for the British? Our food reputation is just as undeserved as your is. I've eaten in many good quality restaurants in the US and the food was lovely. More normal sized portions in the better restaurants as well I found.

Hated bread. Your regular bread is donuts. Impossible to find bread that wasn’t dessert.
Coca Cola is not as good either. The obsession with those post mix drink machines where you can mix and match flavours, the flavours are all gross and even normal coke comes out tasting disgusting from them.

American coffee is awful. It's either stale, burnt drip coffee or a starbucks bucket-sized monstrosity with a ton of sugar. I always cringe when I see people talk about a frappuccino like it's a normal thing for a human to consume on the regular.

I tried kool-aid (tasted like medicine) and capn crunch (wayyy too sickly sweet; high fructose corn syrup?). Butterfingers are weird, it's like a peppermint crisp texture, very strange experience. Hostess donettes were weirdly not sweet enough. I don't get the ranch obsession, and hersheys chocolate is vile.

I've never tried that white lumpy gravy, but I don't think I'd be able to eat it, its so off putting visually.

Enormous foldy pizza is great, pop tarts are really good (I think toast em pop ups are better). Chips ahoy bikkies are good. Takis are awesome, I've only had the fuego ones which were spicier than I expected, but really good. I love Krispy kreme.

I was surprised to see they had battered & deep fried the beans, rather than just cook them.
The best food I had was some brisket nachos at the drags, absolutely delicious.
The free soft drink refillls (brought to table without me asking for more) were hard to get used to, I had to say no a few times and the servers weren't able to accept that I didn't want it just because it's free.

I was on a recent thread where a homemade dessert was revealed to have mayonnaise in it. Many Americans on the thread were horrified by the idea of mayonnaise.

I was taken aback. Not only is mayonnaise simply beaten-up oil, egg yolk, and vinegar or lemon juice (common ingredients in many desserts and other things), but American cuisine is otherwise famed for pop-tarts, string cheese, eggo waffles, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Kool-Aid, ranch.

While acknowledged as being fast food / snacks for kids, these items aren't generally met with dozens of *ewww!* replies. But mayonnaise seemed to be really disliked.

Genuinely never understood the love for PBJ sandwiches. The combination of the two is kinda something I never would try.

I don't think most things are disgusting per se. However the sizing of the products are pretty gross. As you mentioned the XL Big Gulp - it isn't what is in it, but the quantity that makes me a bit ill.

What I love?

I love A&W Root Beer. It is starting to become a bit more common here then it use to be, but one still have to go to specialist food stores or a Coles with an International Food and Beverage Aisle/Section, and on top of that it is still pretty damn expensive.

Having started as a content creator that made articles for Bored Panda from scratch I climbed my way up to being and editor and then had team lead responsibilities added as well. So it was a pretty natural transition from writing articles and titles as well as preparing the visual part for the articles to making sure others are doing those same tasks as I did before well, answering their questions and guiding them when needed. Eventually I realized editing gives me the most enjoyment and I'm focusing only on that right now.

It has nothing to do with being a big country. Every country has its regions with different cuisine, dialect and other differences. That‘s what most US Americans don‘t understand either.

Eh, I don’t usually see any articles on BP where Americans get to tell other countries whatever they’re doing is disgusting and wrong. It gets annoying having everything we do in the states boiled down to a few stereotypes though. No, not all the food here is overly processed garbage. Most people don’t start their day with 79 grams of sugar. Not everyone eats processed cheese from a can. And please don’t judge an entire country’s food based on the one gas station you stopped at when you needed a snack.

Cthulu, I have family from both the United Kingdom and the United States and have lived in both countries. I have yet to see a positive article about the United States on this website. It is alright for people from the United States to feel frustrated when BoredPanda CONSTANTLY shares negative articles about the U.S. We also have a lot of problems in the United Kingdom (Brexit anyone) yet BoredPanda portrays us as quirky, whimsical and fun! Perhaps I just truly dislike stereotypes. I find it a little disturbing that users from the United States are called bothersome or annoying if they speak up about BoredPanda constantly writing negative things about them. Even the title of the article is pretty nasty "gross American foods." So people from Australia and other countries are allowed to spread stereotypes about food in the U.S. but an user from the U.S. says anything bad about Australian food their are instantly downvoted.

The only one that I thought wasn't good was one where the poster had been in the US as a tourist, in a small area, and seemed to get unluckier still. Then judged based off of that. Still, I don't really care, every country has their own preferences and cultures, and to each their own!

I remember older Norwegian-Americans in the Midwest serving dishes at potlucks they were adamant about being Norwegian... so many horrible combinations of ingredients and flavors. And then Norway isn't actually a culinary destination to begin with...

OK. Two things Australian - Vegemite and musk flavored Life Savers. I'm not going to judge a countries food based on only two items but considering that you eat those 2 items, I am going to take any opinions on US food with a grain of salt.

Why so much Oreo hate? You can get them in a lot of places outside the us, they taste ok, and a lot of flavours are surprisingly either vegan or vegetarian

I don't think it's so much "hate" as just this kind of disappointment feeling. Oreos seem to be such a well known thing in the US that we imagine they must be some sort of food ambrosia, so to find out that they're really just a kinda boring sweet cracker with a vaguely creamy-ish filling is a real let down.

The sweetest substance I've ever tasted in my life was key lime pie I still don't know how one could achieve that level of sweetness and why someone would ever subject their tastebuds to that.

It’s definitely not supposed to be like that all! Should be very tart with light sweetness. Give it another try if you can sometime!

I like Key Lime Pie when I can find a good one but sadly most I’ve tried are not good. Any short cut on the ingredients is gonna be bad. A good key lime pie is from fresh limes and is not too sweet

Do people in other countries realize A LOT of Americans do make wonderful food? These lists are so repetitive. It’s like they think we all live in a trailer park and only get food from 7-Eleven. Good grief.

Because the question was skewed - it asked for “What American foods/drinks/snacks/etc. do you think are disgusting? Which do you think are good?” It asks people to say what they hate and what they love - pretty good really if most of the ones hated are the same junk foods on the whole.

Is everybody here 12? I think of American food, I don't strictly think of Saturday-morning treats for kids. You realize that's all any of this stuff is? To me, foods I associate with America include Hamburgers, hot dogs, beef steak, french fries, mashed potatoes, fried chicken, meatloaf, brisket, BBQ ribs, corn on the cob, peanut butter, pork chops, fatty bacon, subs, grilled cheese sandwiches, casseroles, waffles, fair food (deep-fried anything), mac & cheese, and on the coasts, lobster or crab; plus various foods we blamed other countries for (even though most of the other food naturally has has overseas precedents): spaghetti and meatballs, tacos, chili, pizza,

IMO? People who eat vegemite are on shaky ground calling anyone else's food choices unpalatable. BTW, get over it. We don't all eat out of the one aisle int he store that is overprocessed junk, in any country. And every country *has* that aisle.

I love how BoredPanda makes sweeping gernalisations about the United States that just fuel more and more stereotypes on this site. Nobody is eating squeeze cheese and pop-tarts everyday. Australia also has pie floaters, chiko rolls, and musk sticks so they shouldn't be the ones to talk here.

Bearing in mind if you grew up eating this stuff, it seems normal. That said, I do agree with the portion sizes being too big, and too much sugar/salt/fat in things. Folks like stuff that's highly seasoned, but rather than actually using spices we just salt the heck out of it. Breakfast cereals are mainly marketed to kids, so they have cartoon characters on the box and way too much sugar inside.

The very worst, number one most disgusting thing I ever put in my mouth was root beer! Holy c**p, it's absolutely horrendous! I looked forward to trying it for decades, seeing people drinking it in movies all my life so when I saw it in a local (UK) shop I bought it and couldn't wait so I open and had a big swig walking back home. I had to spit it out immediately, in the middle of the road. I can't even think about it without gagging.

they do? They have ketchup, "mustard" (aka yellow stuff), cheese squares, "gravy" (as in biscuits), and they also have "ranch". Plus there's tabasco, and other chili sauces in the south. I think they do have some sauces.
