Food is one of those things people might find themselves arguing over. Not because it’s akin to politics, religion and music, but because it’s a matter of taste—quite a literal one, in fact.

But sometimes, you have foods that you don’t even need tastebuds to understand that it’s just flat out horrible. Either that, or it begs the question of why? And how? And probably many others. Just like it did this time. Except, it was a question for non-Americans about disgusting American food.

    So, there was an AskReddit question asked of non-Americans about American food. Specifically, food that they thought was disgusting, whether visually, based on taste or didn’t roll well on a conceptual level.

    While by Reddit standards the post got a modest amount of upvotes, clocking in at nearly 4,000 upvotes, it generated a conversation of over 6,600 comments, and that’s definitely something.

    It's not like we want HFCS. There are products that are starting to return to regular sugar which is a godsend for those of us that don't want HFCS. It was created by the corn industry to sell a cheaper product than cane sugar and all the companies started jumping on it. Many people don't know or care about the difference but there is a growing backlash among some consumers.

    Looked it up. I knew they were Antique- but they're older than I guessed; going back into the 1800's somewhere. Very common, very popular, very cheap. They're a "firm marshmallow" and the flavor is artificial banana. Mostly people still eat them because they are a memory of childhood "Grandpa used to give us these" kind of thing.

    Now, it’s hard to draw a definitive line of what food is universally considered disgusting. You can argue that anything with excessive amounts of [insert any ingredient here] or an extreme lack thereof could constitute disgust. Others might argue that if it looks like something you’d fish out of the Mariana Trench. And yet others think eating bugs and fire is probably not something you should do in general.

    No, it’s mostly subjective, and there’s actually a test for that.

    In fact, it’s not just necessarily personal experience—like mother forcing us to down fish oil because “it’s good for you” but it has the smell, taste and consistency of used and marinated bathwater—but also cultural.

    If you grew up at the seaside, freshly-caught fish and seafood might be commonplace to you. If you were, however, raised vegan from the get-go, you might find raw meat stomach-churning. Maybe you didn’t grow up in a culture that fosters culinary traditions of fermentation and preservation.

    It’s not to say it can’t be particular, mayhaps even more personal, instances where food left a bitter taste in your mouth. Everyone experiences flavors, dishes, and textures in their own unique way. As such, you just might not like how things taste.

    And sometimes it’s even deeper than that, biologically speaking. We have a self-preservation mechanism, after all. Because of this, our brain might not let us enjoy food that might make us ill because it contains uncomfortable levels of bacteria, mold or flat out insects.

    Now, having a heritage or experience that dictates taste, preference, what you have is all fine and dandy. What is not cool, however, is gatekeeping and judging. No doubt, whenever the topic of disgusting foods arises, you’re likely to find folks who go at it in the comments, saying “how can you eat this?” and “you’re disgusting.”

    Sure, having the right mindset in terms of food—especially if it’s washing and cooking it properly, avoiding cross-contamination and whatnot, but bashing someone for honoring their culture (and maybe genuinely liking rotten salted fish) leaves a bad taste.

I love soft baked cookies though so I baked them all the time, they’ve come around to liking them haha. Another one I hear a lot is the food coloring. My mom is often perplexed and grossed out by very saturated unnaturally colored foods. (Usually frosting or candy) She tells me it just LOOKS unhealthy and is unappetizing. Also, my mom is low key traumatized from twizzlers LOL. She said the first time she saw it she wondered why people were chewing on plastic. She then tried it and said it also tasted like plastic.

    Grits are "hominy", ground into polenta sized bits, served as a gruel; but it is NOT polenta. Hominy is Native American- dried maize is soaked in wood ash water overnight- this causes the kernels to swell and the outer seed coat split so that it can be removed. Hominy is the the swollen inner kernel The soaking wood ash exposes the grain to Potassium hydroxide, lye; in Mexican cooking the same effect is often achieved using burnt limestone; so Calcium hydroxide This in fact increases the nutritional value of the maize- . If you like Mexican food- it's all over the place: masa based dough is all via this process.

    The museum takes visitors on a bit of an experience, allowing folks to sample some of the “finer” foods out there—and hopefully providing a vomit bucket because a journalist took an adventure there and had to upchuck multiple times.

    The secret to really good cornbread is to pour the batter into a ripping hot cast-iron skillet filled with hot bacon drippings. Some of the BBQ places around here make their cornbread sweet and cake-like, which I don't care for. It should be savory-sweet, with a little tang from the buttermilk.

    I saw someone recently who made their roux by toasting the flour in the oven and browning the butter separately on the stovetop. I haven't tried that method myself, but I imagine it would be easier to see the flour as it cooks so you can get it just how you want it.

    But you can buy cornbread in Europe? Or is it not bread made from cornflour but something else? Genuine question

    I hate anyone else's biscuits and gravy, except my husband's. But he adds chicken bouillon to the gravy so it has more flavor than just flour.

    If it looks like vomit...... biscuits and gravy look gross. I have never been a fan. That being said, I know some people who love it!

    So here in the UK, if you ordered biscuits and gravy, you would end up with a Digestive biscuit with some Bisto or oxo gravy on top. :) The photo makes it look like some crusty rolls/baps or savoury scones with mushroom stroganoff on it.

    Me picturing Bisto & Digestives... Mmmm Could work... But seriously though, any of you from the southern states got a good corn bread recipe? I'd be interested in trying it.

    I had truly amazing biscuits and sausage gravy once and I've been chasing that high ever since. The Cooks Illustrated recipe is definitely the best one I've found so far.

    Again something that probably every country has a variant of, from times when bread was used to catch leftover meat and sauce.

    Scones are delicious with some butter right out of the oven.

    Cornbread is best when you drizzle honey on it and let it slowly soak into the cornbread like a southern US sticky toffee pudding.

    I am more disturbed by the fact that "biscuits" are not biscuits at all... they are more like bread buns.

    I would say their biscuits are more like savory scones.

    Doesn't the filling fall off every burger? I always make a mess of myself when I eat one.
