🇺🇸 American Foodie Bits 🇺🇸

[Mango Chutney]

Well, I'm not American, but having just highjacked the Tunisian foodie thread with a chat about peanut butter and jam (yes, JAM....not jelly) sandwiches....I thought I'd better start a new thread, as Tunisian recipes should always be led by tuna, boiled eggs and harissa

So this is what I tried (a random mixed jar from Aldi).....and it was a grim experience....but apparently I did it wrong

Next time, I will try to make it the other way, but at the moment, my head is spinning with a big, BIG question:

How can my crazy American friends mock Marmite......when they are eating this gruesome stuff??????

And don't even get me started on the absolute weirdness that is squirty cheese!!

Well I always did wonder what cilantro was!

That spray cheese in a can was delicious with pretzels
I had to give it to the cat so I didn’t eat it all.

Do it from scratch

from scratch
cooking without any ingredients mixed before buying them, but rather buying each ingredient individually

Yup, that's what I'll try next time....I didn't realise that was the way to do it

I can’t imagine a spay on cheese. The texture would be weird.

I can’t imagine a spay on cheese. The texture would be weird.

The texture is smooth but it is thicker than canned spray whipped cream.

It has a cheese type flavor but I would rather have real cheese.

Cat loves it. I sprayed his dry food with it and he jumped for joy.

Ya, it must be like eating hairspray straight outta the aerosol can

Are you talking about the whipped cream or the whipped cheese? The whipped cream is really good.

No thanks. Bologna is like a slice of a really fat hot dog wiener.

Yeah, give me good old bacon every time

Fried bologna is gross
Grilled cheese sandwiches are great.
Now these fries are amazing
