I don't actually think I'm unreasonable though my husband does!

Americans please tell me about your favourite American meal or snack, or even better, both!

We are not American but lived there - we liked
Funionrings - onion rings
Pinwheel biscuits - marshmallow and chocolate

I quite liked Velveeta fake cheese that gets warmed up in a slow cooker and you dip bread in it.

Why would you be unreasonable to like certain kinds of snacks?

DinosaurFineosaur · 28/05/2021 17:45

Coconut m&ms
Maple syrup oreos
Butterfingers
flamin hot cheetos
so many flavours of pretzel flipz

hermionieweasley · 28/05/2021 17:55

giantwaterbottle · 28/05/2021 17:55

Loving these! I found an American food delivery website and I am going to order!

I'm a weirdo because I like the hash brown mix that comes in a packet and you add water

I nannied in the US years ago & had the best Chinese takeaway ever! Just tasted so much fresher somehow. Maybe no MSG. And the Mum I worked for used to buy the most delicious cake bars. I ate them straight from the freezer. Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, apple , chocolate. So moreish!

HermioneKipper · 28/05/2021 18:01

Mmm all the different flavours of pop tarts! And Oreos - why don’t we have all the flavours here?! Mint m&ms

IHaveBrilloHair · 28/05/2021 18:02

Biscuits and gravy.
Shrimp and grits.

Butterfingers
Junior Mints
Snyders Pretzel Bites
Milky Way Dark
Milano Biscuits
La Croix (technically not a snack but delicious)

EKGEMS · 28/05/2021 18:03

I'm American and love: (can't eat them anymore as I'm having to be on special diet)
Golden Oreos, Reese's cups (milk and white chocolate), peanut butter M&Ms, Little Debbie oatmeal cream pies, chocolate chip honey graham teddy bears

Cadent · 28/05/2021 18:03

It just all looks fake and full of trans fats.

The Cheesecake Factory was a huge disappointment.

LunaAzul · 28/05/2021 18:04

Hidden Valley Ranch. I wish you could buy it over here instead of that Newman's ranch which is the only one I can ever find. I have to make DH stock up on it when he's over there for work.

User629202 · 28/05/2021 18:05

The m&ms with peanut butter 🤤

davidrosejumper · 28/05/2021 18:06

Spinach-artichoke dip. (Spinach-artichoke pizza, for that matter.)

Hershey's chocolate is horrendous, however. Such a weird taste. You must have grown up with it, as I wouldn't have it voluntarily. Similarly Kraft's Mac&Cheese. Creepy stuff.

Horehound · 28/05/2021 18:06

Oh god I love going to America. The food is soo good/unhealthy lol

But the last time I was away for work I loved all the shrimp! Couldn't get enough. Oh and chicken wings and braising steak/pulled pork stuff
My colleague took me to a gas statiom that had a restaurant and they served brisket and fries in little baskets. I loved it! I'm Gona look through my photos to see if I can find it.

UnreasonablyPissedOff · 28/05/2021 18:06

I went to the US for the first time when I was 19 & I remember hating all the things I'd been dying to try - Oreos, Hershey chocolate etc

But...being so happy to discover incredible things like proper bagels! God knows how many blueberry bagels i ate that summer!!

Pizza by the slice & some of the best pizza i'd had up to that point

Hotdogs from a stand on the street. Real pretzels the same

Wendy's, taco bell, in & out burgers - god knows how I didn't come home the size of a house!

chipsandpeas · 28/05/2021 18:08

i love twinkies

vampirethriller · 28/05/2021 18:10

I love watermelon Jello and pistachio pudding.

mummyh2016 · 28/05/2021 18:11

Cheddar and jalapeno cheetos.
