The chocolate?

I meant a distasteful food.

Is that what they call it?

Whatever it is, its so terribly wrong.

Beef Jerky's are badly wrong

Jerky and "Slim Jims" are completely different if that's your point.

Slim Jims = rot your colon, greasy, foul sticks. I agree.

Jerky - dried steak. Handy in a hunger pinch, travels well (can just wedge in your pocket for later) and is pretty tasty if not too dry.

The chocolate?

It's the only chocolate most Americans know so what to do.

Recommend me a good, everyday chocolate bar and I'll grab one and do myself a little comparison. Personally, I fancy a Hershey's Milk Chocolate bar every now and then so I'm open to new horizons.

Anything from Galaxy.

Family from America came to stay a few years back and became aware of Galaxy and now order tons of the stuff.

To keep it fair, what American foods do you lot find totally distasteful and I'll defend if possible.

Grits.

Root beer.

Prairie Oysters (nobody seriously eats those, right?)

Spam.

American cheese (it just isnt cheese).

Bagels, always bagels.

Grits.

No way. Grits with a dab of butter and maybe a sprinkle of brown sugar (if you go that way) are delightful

Root beer.

Have to be in the mood. I'll defer here.

Prairie Oysters (nobody seriously eats those, right?)

They do. A/K/A Rocky Mountain Oysters. I've had them -it's like fried calamari. More of a novelty than anything. Watch out for the shiny ones.

Spam.

My dad is a Spam fan so I've had my share - time in the US Army will do that to you. Considered a bit of a delicacy in Hawaii. It's like any other processed ham thing - quite tasty pan fried.

American cheese (it just isnt cheese).

American cheese is not cheese - I fully agree. Hot & Spicy Velveeta is bang up stuff though with some Ro-Tel green chiles added.

Treacle on your cooked breakfast, yuk yuk yuk.

Give me a dripping butty any day

No treacle whatever that is.

100% Grade A amber maple syrup. Deeeeeelish.

The Canadians are adept at whipping this out.

 

[heatmeiser]

Maple syrup, pancakes and bacon is dreamy.

Still not convinced about grits.

I think it's something to do with the Grit spreader coming around every winter and spreading salty cack all over the roads.

I love nothing better than spreading my salty cack all over my missus.
