How about the doughnut burger

Happy heart-attack.

That Mexican chicken/chili/chocolate dish people have mentioned is, I quite agree, fantastic. The chocolate is the very dark, bitter stuff, though, so it doesn't taste sweet.

A lot of South American countries do include dried fruit (apricots, prunes, etc) in meat stews. Yum!

As do North African cuisine, I love fruity tagines and fruity cous cous. I've only recently found peanut butter (smooth) and jam (raspberry) and they are lovely

My OH loves Christmas cake and Wensleydale cheese together. He loves marmalade and sausages together as well.

One of my favourites is Chicken in a Coca Cola sauce that is served in my local Chinese buffet restuarant.

How does Americans making American dishes "take the mickey out of" your food?

A South American, rather than North American combination :
Romeo and Juliet pizza.

A sweet pizza topped with guava and cheese. Tried it in Brazil a few years ago. My friends from Brazil love it but it didn't do it for me.

I have Gammon cooked in Coca Cola quite a lot, tastes amazing.

You better serve that one with a defibrillator

who is "they"? Just because one person (or one family I ll give you that) does that 'mix' thing, doens't mean the entire nation does. I know someone who mixes their peas and carrots, but I don't. (alright I lied, I do, but it doesn't mean it's a national pasttime). Well, alright it is, because they sell canned/tinned peas and carrots mixed together. Bad example.


Again people, just because someone invents one food dish and presents it on a blog doesn't mean the entire nation is sitting down and pigging out on it. There is always someone coming up with something new but that doesn't mean you have to try it. Spaghetti tacos or Kim Chee burritos anyone?

Wasn't it in Britain some restaurant was serving Seagull in their chinese food? Now if I took your alls examples, I'd be surmising that the British are now eating Seagulls. And what about those fish pies. With the heads sticking out? We all have odd creations.

Oh likes jam and cheese sarnies - barf

As does mine, jam and cheese on toast. I have to say though, she's converted me.

Are you asolutely sure about this........?

I've also heard that they mix Mountain Dew into their Scrambled Eggs!!!1

It does sound like an episode of Friends when Rachael tried making a trifle and ended up making half trifle have roast dinner or something due to the pages being stuck together (Chandler!!)

I found a recipe that was a burger basted in a Coca Cola marinade type thing. I wouldn't mind giving it a try.


I am not a fan of Jam if I am honest, but if I did I would probably give it a try, I am always happy to try new things. I might have missed out on some wonderful things if I didn't give them a try at least once - Cheshire Cheese and Brown Sauce sandwiches for example, and I love them now

Out of Curiosity what flavour jam is it?

that's a very Yorkshire thing to do - it's yummy

Sometimes when staying with my Yorkshire nan - on a Sunday, we would have Yorkshire Pudding with Gravy (as a starter) Yorkshire Pudding with the main course, and if there was any left - we would have it with jam or syrup as a pudding

It doesn't, I was talking about the jokes they always make about our bad food, and teeth as well usually.

I really want to try Coca-Cola flavour food.

I also heard they make Toothpaste flavour ribs so if the bits get stuck in your teeth it makes your teeth all shiney and white when you eat it.

Also Toothpaste roast potatoes.

Toothpaste flavour is very popular over there...

When I went to Florida I had Irn Bru flavour pizza!

They? No, not all of us.

So what about all of your sweet and savoury combinations in this country? Why are those acceptable and American concoctions bizarre?

Although I don't agree with the sentiment of this thread. I just wondering what Sweet and Savoury combos are you talking about from this country?

I do often find pancakes and bacon a strange combo especially with syrup . But saying that I wouldn't mind giving it a go and probably end up liking it - apparently American bacon is sweet cured so works better with the sweet pancake and syrup? Is that true?

Bacon, pancakes, scrambled eggs and Maple syrup is quite common breakfast choice in the US. I'm not keen but then I think carrot cake is just plain wrong.

There have been a few highlighted in this thread. Any number of dishes from your local Chinese and Indian takeaways, i.e. sweet and sour chicken, chicken korma. Go look at a jar of pasta sauce and see how much sugar is in there, along with your tin of baked beans. Salad cream- tastes pretty sweet to me, along with chutney; cranberries with your Christmas turkey; pineapple with ham, etc...

The bacon available in America is wide and varied. Some is maple cured, some isn't.

Yeah, the sentiment of this thread seems nothing more than a desire of the OP to get his own back. Pity.

Were you dropped on your head as a child?

Palm sugar is used a lot in Asian cooking - I can't eat Pad Thai because it's too sweet!
