Disgusting food wars: US vs UK vs ?
Posted: Tue Nov 05, 2019 4:44 pm
First, disgusting American foods..
Foreigners are unsure of what grits actually are.
Grits don’t look the most appetizing.
Many foreigners don’t get the appeal of peanut butter … much less in combination with jelly.
To foreigners biscuits are meant to be sweet — and definitely not served with gravy.
Cheese? More like “Cheese.”
That so-called cheese in a spray can? Whatever culinary genius thought that up really needs to be publicly humiliated for that.
Root beer has an unusual flavour most foreigners just can’t place.
Tastes like disinfectant. If it were not brown, I would use it to clean the floor.
Many foreigners are wary of corn dogs.
Sort of a hot dog inside a doughnut.
Twinkies taste stale to foreigners.
Many foreigners maintain that Hershey’s tastes faintly like vomit.
Boxed macaroni and cheese is thought to be totally disgusting.

Now to disgusting British foods..
Mince pies
The pastry is always thick, the filling is an odd pairing of sickly sweet with a tang.
Spotted Dick
What is spotted dick and why is it called that? Is it named after someone? I’m confused.
Black pudding
Pig’s blood and cereal?
Mushy peas
Why can't you call them mashed peas? Nobody wants to eat mushy food! And adding mint to it doesn't make it sound any more appealing.
Stargazy pie
Here’s a great way to ruin a pie, let’s just stick a few fish heads in the pastry for an extra decorative touch.
Scotch eggs
Why are Scotch eggs a thing?
Digestive biscuits
Biscuits described as 'digestives' don’t sound appetising. Are they medicinal in some way?
Jellied eels
Chopped eels, boiled in stock and then left alone to transform into some sort of slimy goo like substance. Vom.
Haggis
It contains sheep’s heart, liver and lungs, a lot of seasoning and then it is packed into the sheep’s stomach and boiled for our consumption. Delicious.
