15 unimaginable culinary oddities Americans

We already told you about full of ice cups three-liter wine bottles and other fads in American culture that Americans don't even notice. In this post we will talk about the subtle dishes and combinations of products, many of which can easily plunge into shock any of "our" people.

1. Potatoes

Let's start with dear and close to our hearts potatoes. Moreover, the Americans never clean it before you cook it, considering that the skin hides the most valuable and useful. They went further and invented a special dish called the potato skins (or "potato skins").

If you have been able to find in America peeled potatoes — you know that, most likely, got it from the cans.

2. "Ants on a log"

This creative installation is celery with peanut butter and raisins. Considered healthy and nutritious snack, especially popular with children.

3. Coffee

Americans are not satisfied with the taste of the coffee. They love flavored coffee the rest of the caramel, mint, pumpkin, ginger and so on and so forth. Needless to say that drinking this coffee should definitely on the go.

4. Cake Red velvet

Coffee, of course, relies dessert. That's just not quite clear why its painted in bright red color?.. Especially if the taste is not reminiscent of absolutely nothing red.

5. A combination of incongruous

Fried chicken with waffles and honey or maple syrup — one of the most popular Breakfast in the southern United States. But our man will never understand...

Not inferior to the chicken with waffles and pancakes with bacon and the same of maple syrup.

Speaking of bacon — it is sometimes in chocolate. But here again all is clear, because the bacon is almost fat. Greetings To Ukraine!

6. Melted marshmallows

American candy, apparently, is so unsightly that it can be consumed, only pre-tan, preferably at the stake. If it is then put between two cookies together with chocolate, we get S more — a favorite pastime of Hiking.

Well, if a fire is not complicated — you can just bake it on top, for example, sweet potatoes. After all, nothing complements a delicious and healthy vegetables, like molten chemical sweetness.

7. Pizza

Such absurd at first glance, the combination of like pineapple and ham in a "Hawaiian" pizza has long been the standard and no surprise. But the Americans did not give up and continue his experiments with Italian classics. For example, as you are a creation of "Pizza hut" with mini hotdogs on the perimeter?

8. Deep fried

In America, like EVERYTHING deep fried. Preferably in batter. For many the delicious food must be crunchy. Otherwise uninteresting. Size, as you know, is also important. This, for example, fried Turkey leg.

Deep fried Oreo? Sure, why not!

Deep fried pickles? Please!

Well, here it is... I bet you'll never guess what it is. Because it's deep fried butter. On a stick. Why? Why? There is no answer.

9. Ice cream in soda

This culinary speciality called Root Beer Floats. It is difficult to explain even that is very Root Beer, for those who have never tried it. Oh, very vaguely, it resembles our brew. Now imagine that for some reason, you threw in the brew ice cream...

10. Frito Pie

This "dish", which the Americans proudly called the pie, represents the chips Fritos with chili and melted cheese on top. Served directly in the package of chips. Correctly what all these conventions and plates.

11. Fruit ice

It is unclear why there is syrup the ice and why is that you can't eat normal ice-cream or sorbet.

12. Cheese in a spray can

Americans love everything to be easy, simple, fast and convenient. Well, who doesn't? But here "light" cheese in a spray can — it still has a little too much...

13. Spam

Spam is a distant relative of our American stew. His appearance is quite clear — during the Second world war it was necessary to find a cheap alternative to meat. What is surprising is that no one knows the reasons spam has become immensely popular in Hawaii.

Spam is actively used in traditional Hawaiian cuisine and cooking him all sorts of oddities. For example, sushi. While using the jar as a cookie cutter.

14. Sandwich with peanut butter and jam

An absolute classic American cuisine, a little understandable to someone else. Why make the sweet even sweeter?..

15. "Inputchoice"

This apotheosis of American cooking we specifically left "for dessert". Turducken, namely the so-called this dish consists of three words, and they are also the main ingredients: turkey (Turkey), duck (duck) and chicken (chicken). In order to prepare this masterpiece, you have to put the chicken in the duck, which, in turn, should stick to the Turkey. And, most importantly, why they do it, we fear even to imagine.
