Though they call that food too. :)

"They say that the South shall rise again. Then again, they also say that deep-fried bananas are a food group."

In your opinion, what are some foods that you are amazed that Americans (or anyone else) eats?

even Americans can answer, btw.

Deep-fried candy bars, and deep-fried Twinkies. Actually, Twinkies, full-stop. Oysters.

hehe. I love deep-fried candy bars (especially Snickers). But, I have enough sense to eat only one every three years or so. LOL. They are a heart attack on a stick, but totally delicious.

Totally agree with you on the Twinkies. They just taste fake. Gah.

Artichokes! Don't get me wrong, I love 'em, but c'mon, it's a thistle!

Thistles are good too.

Personally? I don't know how anyone eats pickles (and/or anything pickled.) I know that's not strange to 99% of people. But I find pickles/pickling to be vial and completely uncalled for in society.

I think I need my icon: "Pickles are cucumbers soaked in EVIL." LOL.

I think you mean viral. ;)

sending.

haha. Actually, I think I meant "vile" as in extremely unpleasant... not "vial" meaning something I put my chemicals in when I'm doing a reaction. I think chemistry is rotting my brain. LOL.

Hahahaha, I love that you said this because the first things I thought of when I saw this post were deep-fried pickles. Which are AMAZING. And peanut-butter and pickle sandwiches. NOM NOM NOM.

I think I once saw a character, either in a movie or on a series, eat cheese out of a tube, that was just.... wrong.

[rodlox]

ah yes...cheese whiz. (so many variant spellings, many of which are deliberate typoes)

I personally don't think Americans eat weird things. UNHEALTHY things oh heck yeah.

But come on... the French eat snails. (they're yummy too, I love escargot).

In parts of southeast asia, they eat grilled crickets.

We just like food that doesn't LOOK like food.
