    A lot of the things Americans seem to do to "cheese":

    cheese in a spray can
    cheese in a jar
    cheese melts
    fat free cheese
    cheese strings

    As someone who is Dutch, I have to say that it is all horribly wrong.
    I've tried some of them and they all tasted like plastic to me.
    I worry Americans don't even know what real cheese tastes like.

    If anyone is traveling to the EU soon, you should try some real cheese from a local farmers market.
    Your taste buds will thank you ;).

    Uh no. Even Americans know that cheese in a can or a jar isn't cheese.

    pasta in chili is called chili mac or chili spaghetti. :)

    Personally i love a good chunky chili with beef, tomatoes, peppers, onions and garlic. YUM

    Well I put mayo and sometimes a pickle on my sloppy Joe.....yum
    Pasta in chili is chili mac and add the corn too. (I eat the chili first night then add the mac & corn the second night) What's the problem?
    Ham on my grilled cheese....yep guilty

    My ex used to put ketchup on his spaghetti now that is revolting.

    Indian restaurants that serve Beef Vindaloo. I really start to question their authenticity!

    MIght be Northern Indian or Nepalese - they eat cows up north. I was curious about it at a local Indian place, so I asked them why. They're from near the border with Nepal and are not Hindi.

    America, we make things you didn't even know you need. A diet tip I read was never eat anything your great-grandmother wouldn't recognize as food. I hate spray cheese. never tried the jar. sting is just mozzarella in sticks. I do wonder what real cheese does taste like.

    Editing to clarify I am NOT talking about rice pudding. I am talking about cooked rice with butter, sugar and milk poured over the mess.
    I was raised on rice with milk and sugar and to this day love it. I was originally from the south but don't know if that has anything to do with it since I have been here since I was 5 years old. We (being 6 of us) were very poor people being raised by a single Mom rice was cheap and went a long way certainly couldn't afford boxed cereal. I do like rice other ways too. So I guess it's all in how your raised. Like my best friend who has mashed banana with milk every morning, that's how she was raised.

    Ketchup on steak yuck. Also working in a sea food place I see people slather a 15 dollar fresh fl grouper sandwich with ketchup. So wrong.

    Cant get into bbq chicken pizza either, just odd.

    I love ketchup - I put it on eggs, avocados (yum!), burgers, fries, etc.....

    ....but ketchup on a hot dog is just wrong. R-O-N-G wrong. Brown mustard and onions belong on a hot dog, anything else (except chili and cheese) is sacrilege.

    Here's one I haven't seen mentioned yet - try peanut butter on a hamburger! I saw it on the menu in a diner once and threw up in my mouth a little, but the waitress said "If you don't like it I'll give you anything else on the menu for free". I tried it, loved it, and have eaten peanut butter on my burgers ever since. Burger with cheese, mayo, mustard, ketchup, lettuce, tomato and peanut butter = YUM.

    I'm officially weird by this thread standards :-P

    I have done/eaten 95% of the foods or food combinations mentioned here, and have enjoyed them or didn't mind them.

    The only one that saw on this thread and never crossed my mind was the jam, peanut butter, miracle whip, and cheese whiz sandwich. Not sure how that combination came to light, sounds like a stoned person or joke combination that somehow worked.

    Now the only food that I saw someone eat regularly (old friend) and I thought was unappetizing even after trying was canned tuna in oil with sugar poured on it and nothing else, he just ate it with a spoon.

    When I was a kid, we didn't have money for food for a while and I ate that for breakfast for months. I guess it didn't taste so bad because I was hungry enough to eat anything. The thought of it gags me now. lol

    We ate that when we were small and I loved it! Something else; white bread torn up, placed in a glass with milk poured over it! So good! Oh, or cornbread in a glass with buttermilk.....my list goes on and on! Oh, small town country life. Just love it! I grew up in a small town in East Texas and this was pretty common stuff where I grew up.

    Indiana here, I love pasta(macaroni) in my chili. We also dip peanut butter sandwiches in chili, so much so that it was served to us at school with lunch! We like grilled cheese with tomato soup too! Hot sauce on eggs! The list goes on....

    I do, as long as there's butter in it first.

    omg that's right. He did that too. GROSS

    People frying fish so you can't taste it. (With the exception of catfish, because that's the only way to cook it :wink: ) Frying it negates the health benefits it offers, and unlike chicken, each fish tastes different. It's to be enjoyed.

    Anything added to mac n cheese other than mac n cheese. Also, grilled cheese made with all sorts of weird cheese and odd toppings added. Ick. Oh, and syrup pumped into the breakfast sandwiches at McDonald's. Double ick!

    THANK YOU! This one guy was bragging about the "awesome" grilled cheese he made with swiss and pepperjack and spinach and tomato slices. So not a grilled cheese. A grilled cheese is white bread, American cheese, and butter, butter, and more butter. And jalapeños, bacon, and whatever else SO does not belong in mac and cheese.

    American "cheese" is not even cheese.

    I lose a little piece of my soul every time they screw around with Oreos. Double Stuff was the only "improvement" that was ever necessary - they should have stopped there! Ditto with Snickers... if there's anything in there that's not original, it's a different candy bar altogether - fine a different name!

    Ugh yuck reminds me when my mother would tear up white bread slices put it in a bowl add milk n spoon full of sugar... disgusting mush! However I remember as a kid loving to dunk my peanut butter n jelly sandwich in milk. Now I would cringe at the thought. :sick:

    my mother did that too, but it was when we were out of other breakfast foods..

    One of my Dad's ex girlfriends fed this to us for breakfast and called it "*kitten* on a shingle."

    I HATED it!!!
