American week is the one I like the least stuff from, but the one thing I always used to get is these pulled pork flavor maize crisps, it's my favorite type of crisp but they haven't been sold in my country for like two decades outside of these Lidl ones and occasional imports from UK. Sadly I haven't seen them in a while so I'm not sure they still make them.
But our selection is pretty different than OP in general.
LIDL has these rotating weekly offers when it's American week one week, then French, Italian, British, etc.
The empire was still built, just like the Twin Towers were still built, even if they don't exist now

You got me. That was a masterful bit of trolling and I didn't expect it. I have no pithy retort. I kneel. I know it's practically impossible to tell in text, but I'm not even being sarcastic.
Friends?
You're conflating "traveling abroad" with "having a passport". Just because you take a 45 minute train-ride to a non-schengen, European country doesn't mean you've "traveled abroad". If Americans needed a passport to go from California to Chicago, or Texas to Florida, the number of passport holders would easily be in the 90th percentile. Almost all of that "55%" represents people who travel to actual foreign countries.

False premise. How is a vacationer to Réunion kneecapping himself by traveling there without a passport? See
To be fair, if you're not French, you do have to tell Paris of your plans in the overseas departments before traveling, even if you're an EU citizen so while a Dutchman can fly from France to Réunion without a passport, he'd need to tell them that he plans to travel to Mayotte in order to do so. Still not a passport, tho, and easy as fuck to do.
Do you think this hypothetical Dutchman wants to travel to Mozambique or Madagascar?
How many of the Cancun visiting Americans mentioned earlier bother to travel to Cuba or the Caymans during their stay?

The passport argument is irrelevant because you could just as easily go to a non-Schengen country right next door. The train from Paris to London takes about as long as a flight from Paris to Vienna.

My man Europe has 24 official languages across 4 main language groups. There are entire countries that don't speak the same language. Shops are hyper local to one or two individual countries or even individual regions within countries. You can travel 100km and be in an entirely different place speaking a language you can't understand eating food you have never seen. You are far more likely to be in a "foreign" country travelling Europe than moving from one state to the next in the USA.

I understand and acknowledged that European countries differ more than US states. The point is that even in spite of those differences, the proximity makes them not really that "foreign". Even if you can't speak the language, you have a pretty damn good idea of what they're up to in Spain or Germany if you're from France.

yes, and Frazzles can't be fucking bought here unless imported and that costs too much
we used to have one brand literally like 25 years ago when I was a kid and I loved them, I completely forgot the flavor until Lidl brought these out
kinda annoying, we have like a dozen brands of the Peppies style bacon crisps, and not a single Frazzles knock-off
few kinds of cheddar
few types of bacon(the good Irish bacon I mentioned and the English "back bacon" that's all lean)
Bunch of sweets - the caramel shortbread, regular shortbread, fudge, chocolate mints, etc
Some frozen stuff, fish and chips, as well as thick cut chips separately, I think also Scampi at some point but I haven't seen it in a while.
Marmalade
And some other stuff I'm forgetting but definitely much smaller selection than like Italian week.
yeah, we only get like half of these here I'd love to try >marmite >clotted cream >scone baking kits >pasties >sausage rolls
but definitely haven't seen any. Looks like country by country variance is pretty high, I thought their distribution network was more international.
I guess that explains it because germany has been dominated by dutch and swiss cheese for a long time, british cheddar is still not that popular. our LIDL has some nice new scandinavian cheese now and the spanish and italian cheese during those weeks is really good as well but for me english cheddar is pretty basic in comparison.
german bacon is already some of the best in the world so there's no need for that either.
shortbread probably needs really expensive ingredients (butter) to be good, the stuff I tried was very disappointing but I think that's mostly because the industry would never use the necessary amount of butter and even if they did it would never be decent butter because it's twice as expensive as shit butter
>Why is it that every week we have this thread. Is every week in Eurostan american week?
Lidl, the store that ad is from does these themed weeks and they have stores all across Europe. It seems they have a set list countries they go through and then start all over from the beginning. I have seen german, mexican, italian and french weeks.
In America, I like the Spanish weeks since Spanish cheeses are my favourites. They oddly sold curry tapas skewers once. They were delicious and I don't usually buy prepackaged foods like that. For French week, I like to buy the snails.

Not surprising. It's not like you've spoken with anywhere near the majority of Americans or anything. Neither have I or anyone else. The whole "America is huge" argument cuts both ways: Euros who've never visited are ignorant of the sheer vastness of the country and Americans who seldom leave their particular corner of it are, too.
Example: do you know what pizzazz is? It's an utterly disgusting pizza variant from Philadelphia. Thick-ass crust topped with American cheese, pickled banana pepper rings, raw slices of tomato and a few shakes of oregano. Five million people in the Philly area are aware of it, but they're a fraction of the entirety of the US, even if that's no small number

But franks and beans are not a regional thing. I grew up in fucking Hawaii and remember my dad cutting up hot dogs and putting them in canned beans when my mom was away for the night because he had no clue what children eat.

Not him but it's just a brand, I've seen canned beans with chopped hot dogs go by a few names and Beanie Weenie is one of them. That said it's not really common, if most people want chopped hot dogs in anything they'll just buy them separately do it themselves because it tastes better, and it's usually added to mac and cheese, not beans.

might as well go to India considering all the shit in the streets
I went to San Francisco with my mom in 2013, and I realize now that was probably the last time it was a good place to visit. I bought a grocery bag full of weed on Haight street, ate the best Pupusas I've had to this day, and stayed in the top of the Ghirardelli Clocktower. Shit was cash tbh
I had family that lived in Marin County and we used to visit the Bay back in the 80s and 90s and it was awesome back then, going to Pier 39 as a kid was fucking mind blowing because the NAMCO arcade was insane never saw anything like that on the east coast, and dim sum in China Town was the best I'd ever had
To hear what it has turned into makes me sad as fuck because of those good times back then, I pour one out for the Bay

Then they ask when was the last time I was actually there...and I realize it's been over a decade. Apparently it's not the same place anymore.

Maybe that's where he got them. I don't understand why he didn't just bring literally anything else lmao
Around holidays, he'd bring leftover turkey (Thanksgiving), suckling pig (Christmas), barbecue chicken (4th of July) etc but outside of that street if thing four times of five, he'd bring these horrible-looking frozen burgers.
I don't understand why they look so bad. Think about it: frozen breakfast sandwiches look decent enough.
At least he always ate fruit and salad with his sad burgers, so he was getting dinner produce in his diet, too.
He's a good guy and I worry that this sort of diet will fuck him up in later life
>but they are literally last resort, I am going to die if I don't eat tier.
I was truck driver for 5 years and I can tell you in certain rural parts of the country lots of gas stations don't have hot or ready food and it gets very tiring eating beef jerky and chips day in and day out, If you ever had a school lunch hamburger they taste like that, I would certainly take it over some of the meals you get in MRE cases.
>I've never seen cheeseburgers frozen with the bun
Look more closely in the frozen foods section of the supermarket because they definitely exist. You might be thinking "A cheeseburger isn't that hard to make, why bother freezing the entire thing?" Because I guess it probably saves time and makes things easy maybe.

Lot's of bigger grocery stores in Europe have "American" sections the same way we have Oriental/Mexican/Kosher sections, with actual imported American foods. The problem is that it's all the kind of shit you'd find in a gas station or drug store, as in, all prepackaged garbage nobody actually eats unless they're in a situation where they have to buy food from a gas station at 2am. They also have fast food (and they fucking love it, no matter what anyone here tells you), and are unironically obsessed with American youtubers. Probably 90% of the e-celeb spam on Culinaly comes from Europeans. So yeah, they have a really skewed idea of what Americans really.

That's demonstrably false, picrel.
And I would bet the majority of these Americans with passports are people like me who actually happen to have a connection to some other country.
The majority of American-born-and-raised Americans who've even been abroad have only gone to the Caribbean or fucking Mexico and nowhere else

Okay and what about the ones who have been there 6 months? Most expats never stay 5 years.
6 months doesn't make you an expat. That's a short job assignment, study abroad, or a long vacation.

You're conflating "traveling abroad" with "having a passport". Just because you take a 45 minute train-ride to a non-schengen, European country doesn't mean you've "traveled abroad". If Americans needed a passport to go from California to Chicago, or Texas to Florida, the number of passport holders would easily be in the 90th percentile. Almost all of that "55%" represents people who travel to actual foreign countries.

Probably, but even when they go to the Caribbean or Mexico, they never see/do anything. They just go to some resort to eat, sleep and shit for five days. I really don't understand the point of that sort of travel.
Yes, there's obviously some British stuff mixed in there, and maybe Marmite and English tea are comfort foods to bongs, but literally no American is craving fucking marshmallow fluff or Campbell's condensed soup after living abroad for 5 years.
That begs the question: as a Yank, what /would/ you crave after living abroad a while? I live in the US and there are a number of foods I miss from back home so I actually talk about this a lot with Americans and I'm always interested in their answers.
The most surprising one was flavoured creamer. A woman I met at my best friend's wedding said she misses flavoured coffee creamer most of all after living on the Isle of Mann for the last decade (at the time of the conversation, anyway). Surprisingly, she said the local supermarket there is also ShopRite, just as it is in Nuh Joisey
>Mann
Dang stuck N key.

If you arrive for a 3 year posting and are at month 6 you're not an expat? When do you become one? Month 7? After 1 year?
>what /would/ you crave after living abroad a while?
That's actually a really good question, and something I haven't thought about in a while. I spent a year in England and 2 years in France, and I know at a certain point I started craving something familiar, even if it wasn't something I would normally eat at home. The problem is that America is huge, and diverse, so finding something not only shelf stable, but appealing to *all* of America is kind of hard. I actually live in a different part of the country from where I grew up, so even in the US there are foods I crave but have a difficult time finding. I do know that at no point was I ever eating a fresh baguette and thinking to myself, "I should make a trip over to Monoprix later today to pick up some Pop-tarts."

Yes, yes, but you specifically. What do you crave? After being in the US as long as I have? I'd probably miss the fuck out of Sunchips were I to go back home. I don't even eat them very often. Maybe one bag every few years. But I think that I would eventually miss them since nothing else really tastes like a Sunchip.
Another thing might be the Maruchan cheese yakisoba.

Currently in France and the Pop Tarts are insanely expensive. Also they only have the worst flavours. I've never seen them in the Monoprix near me though, only in specialty shops or randomly in some specific Auchan.
Unironically probably American cheese. I’m sure I’d love having access to the finest cheeses from France, Switzerland, Spain… but sometimes you just want a really gooey grilled cheese.

Go to literally any decently sized US college town and you'll see grocers with Indian/Asian/etc sections because of how many students they have from there. According to those students their selections are also retarded, so we're all just throwing darts at what foreign visitors want
My uncle is the only person I know who makes frozen burgers, the Bubba burgers. They are fucking gross and more expensive than just getting 80/20 ground beef. If someone is too lazy to make hamburger patties, they don't deserve to eat.
The only McEnnedy product that is actually legit is the oatmeal cranberry cookie
Everything else is just meh or a regular thing in more murican packaging (like the mayos and frozen chicken products)
lmao yes I know what a quiche is but I've never heard of this kind of pizza before. It just seems like an eggless quiche if your only frame of reference is that picture. Don't be so offended anon
>is a deep dish pizza just a quiche? I've never had one so im curious.
deep dish pizza is NOT like quiche Iwhich savory egg custard and is baked in a traditional pie crust).
Deep dish is just pizza flavors, ie seasoned tomato sauce, italian sausage with parm, and lots of mozzarella 3inches thick, with a crust that is more like yeast risen buttery brioche bread crust. It is knife and fork meal, not eaten in the hands. Most people are utterly full after one rich slice. Look up Lou Malnatis to find some video press.
Even Chicagoans eat the other kind of pizza as much as their deep dish mood. It's like do you want simple spagetti or a baked dish like stuffed shells. Mood.
Just checked out a video, it seems decent and easy enough that I want to try it now. Unfortunately nowhere near me serves it so I have to make it myself. I don't have a high-rimmed pan or skillet but I'll try with the dutch oven.
the pork/beef burgers are even worse than mcdonalds, literally inedible.
lasagna is as bad as you'd expect especially if you know what homemade tastes like.
hot dog sausages are good, absolutely nothing wrong with them.
muffins are low tier, the chocolate ones are a little better.
peanut butter is fine.
pancakes are surprisingly good if you're too lazy to make them yourself.
maple syrup is complete trash, just sugary water like every other maple syrup in german stores. you have to order it online, even amazon has decent stuff
>literally inedible
I've never encountered any unspoiled or unburnt food that wasn't edible.
I honestly don't understand how people can dislike a food so much that they can't eat it.
you should try those refrigerated burgers. everything that makes burgers great, the dark brown crust of the patty, the melted cheese on top, the toasted buns with a delicious sauce... none of it is there. refrigerated burgers are the worst food you can buy at a grocery store besides canned ravioli, this is no exception
If they have peanutflips you should 100% get those. I never had them before until I moved to Europe (Austria) and they are UNREAL. Like peanut butter cheetos. Also it was very funny to me that they are marketed in Austria like an American snack.
The spätzle should be fine, a far cry from home made ones but hey you just have to throw them in a pan and you're done.
What are "German Style" pickles - Salzgurken? I hate those.
German lentil soup is underrated but I never had a canned one.
Don't get any of that stuff. It's a cheap imitation of food that is already the lowest common denominator in the US. I'd recommend just making something from scratch with an american theme.
in socialist countries like europe you have to eat what the state tells you
if they say eat american food you eat it
all these different country themed weeks are the best thing about LIDL because you get to try new stuff but american week is as basic as it gets. the selection used to be much bigger too.
the real highlight this week is the god tier garofalo pasta for 1.24€
I wouldn't buy most of that stuff
Things like popcorn and pancakes are retardedly simple to make yourself and will turn out better
The only things that might be worth it are the chili, the syrup, and the peanut butter if you don't actually have any around usually
The burgers look like they would be shit but that IS amerikkkan culture when you buy things like fast food or have someone else cook. The flat hyperprocessed stuff is common for people to use if they don't want to form patties out of ground beef themselves. That would be a genuine experience.
Real shit though, the only thing that would actually define american products for me having lived all around the world is supplements. It's a pain and a half to get anything even mildly useful from "chemists" and other sources of drugs in Europe and elsewhere.
Aptly an American week of ACTUALLY hard to get goods in europe (or wherever) would look like a GNC ad because you can pretty easily imitate american cuisine (usually of better quality) with local ingredients
>What would the Americans here recommend?
I wouldn't recommend a thing in this picture, other than american style bacon if dry cured and thick sliced or applewood smoked, or crunchy natural style peanut butter, actual maple syrup (if it is real maple), and maybe the frozen garden burger which is a decent freezer staple for a random mood. Garden burgers are only good when pan seared til browned well, and given good amount of toppings like grilled onions and peppers, avocado and tomato slices, maybe an aioli.
Most americans know to stay away from frozen ground beef preformed burgers. They are frequently low quality and recalled for ecoli from time to time.

That's called silent worship or waiting worship and it depends on the meeting. Mine does that, yes, and it's part of the reason I didn't wanna go this week, lol.
Other Quakers, particularly those in Africa and the Americas outside of the "coastal elite" areas have meetings more similar to typical Christian churches, complete with a preacher and pews and hymns. I think that they, like us, still don't have any set clergy and the preacher rotates among the Friends of that meeting while our meeting lack any preaching at all. We focus on a personal relationship with God, the Unknowable or Most High and speak (bearing of testimony) during waiting worship only when moved by the Spirit to do so.
Why is it that every week we have this thread. Is every week in Eurostan american week?
It's always America week somewhere.
Kind of like how it's always israel week in america
Thats a dell xps m1210
It's America week here in Denmark too. It happens pretty often. Maybe every other month or so.
I haven't seen anything I really want to try out this time, though. The burgers are new but kind of overpriced.
Why? American food will literally kill you, regardless of where you are and regardless of your countries regulations.
American week is the one I like the least stuff from, but the one thing I always used to get is these pulled pork flavor maize crisps, it's my favorite type of crisp but they haven't been sold in my country for like two decades outside of these Lidl ones and occasional imports from UK. Sadly I haven't seen them in a while so I'm not sure they still make them.
But our selection is pretty different than OP in general.
LIDL has these rotating weekly offers when it's American week one week, then French, Italian, British, etc.
For British week, all they offer is weak tea and an unearned sense of entitlement.

To be fair, if you're not French, you do have to tell Paris of your plans in the overseas departments before traveling, even if you're an EU citizen so while a Dutchman can fly from France to Réunion without a passport, he'd need to tell them that he plans to travel to Mayotte in order to do so.

The point is that you're acting like those are completely foreign countries and I'm saying they're not that different than American states (yes, they are obviously more different than most States, but all still "European" in their sensibilities and culture). The passport argument is irrelevant because you could just as easily go to a non-Schengen country right next door. The train from Paris to London takes about as long as a flight from Paris to Vienna. You can drive from fucking Venice to Zagreb in half the time it takes to drive from San Diego to Sacramento.
Oh yeah, and what the fuck is "Travis" supposed to mean? I'm picturing a ginger kid.
Oh, I use that name to refer to Americans. The only people I ever hear of named "Travis" are Americans and it seems to run the gamut of social class. I don't think anyone is named Cletus anymore and even if they still were, the name kinda carries connotations of lower class, anyway, which I'm trying to keep out of the discussion.

My man Europe has 24 official languages across 4 main language groups. There are entire countries that don't speak the same language. Shops are hyper local to one or two individual countries or even individual regions within countries. You can travel 100km and be in an entirely different place speaking a language you can't understand eating food you have never seen. You are far more likely to be in a "foreign" country travelling Europe than moving from one state to the next in the USA.
I understand and acknowledged that European countries differ more than US states. The point is that even in spite of those differences, the proximity makes them not really that "foreign". Even if you can't speak the language, you have a pretty damn good idea of what they're up to in Spain or Germany if you're from France.

there is no british week in germany. what do you get during british week besides cheddar?
few kinds of cheddar
few types of bacon(the good Irish bacon I mentioned and the English "back bacon" that's all lean)
Bunch of sweets - the caramel shortbread, regular shortbread, fudge, chocolate mints, etc
Some frozen stuff, fish and chips, as well as thick cut chips separately, I think also Scampi at some point but I haven't seen it in a while.
Marmalade
And some other stuff I'm forgetting but definitely much smaller selection than like Italian week.
marmite
digestives, custard creams, wagon wheels / tea cakes
really strong mustard
clotted cream
scone baking kits
frozen cornish pasties
frozen other pasties (cheese and onion, steak and pepper)
frozen sausage rolls
eccles cakes
sandwiches in the triangle packets
fake percy pig gummies
crisps with stupid flavors like prawn cocktail, cheese and onion, pickled onion
yeah, we only get like half of these here I'd love to try
>marmite
>clotted cream
>scone baking kits
>pasties
>sausage rolls
but definitely haven't seen any. Looks like country by country variance is pretty high, I thought their distribution network was more international.
I guess that explains it because germany has been dominated by dutch and swiss cheese for a long time, british cheddar is still not that popular. our LIDL has some nice new scandinavian cheese now and the spanish and italian cheese during those weeks is really good as well but for me english cheddar is pretty basic in comparison.
german bacon is already some of the best in the world so there's no need for that either.
shortbread probably needs really expensive ingredients (butter) to be good, the stuff I tried was very disappointing but I think that's mostly because the industry would never use the necessary amount of butter and even if they did it would never be decent butter because it's twice as expensive as shit butter
It's not American without Coca Cola and guns. Sad!

Would have been funny if you weren't speaking 3rd world English and making middle school tier jokes.
>Why is it that every week we have this thread. Is every week in Eurostan american week?
Lidl, the store that ad is from does these themed weeks and they have stores all across Europe. It seems they have a set list countries they go through and then start all over from the beginning. I have seen german, mexican, italian and french weeks.
In America, I like the Spanish weeks since Spanish cheeses are my favourites. They oddly sold curry tapas skewers once. They were delicious and I don't usually buy prepackaged foods like that. For French week, I like to buy the snails.
Well that's super. How square is your head, Croatbro? In my country, we stereotype Croatians as having square-shaped heads
>Goyslop week
I don't know wtf it is with former 1st world countries and serving pancakes and waffles in a box but this shit is foul. Knock it off all of you.
Maybe the muffins are good. The rest looks pretty bad. Americans don't eat hot dogs in a jar.
what about cans?
I've never seen it. I have seen the small potted meat sausages but not hot dogs.
We just use plastic packaging. Almost no hotdog juice.
>Almost no hotdog juice
This is an outrage.
t. sosig water aficionado
Yes, they eat canned hot dogs here but Americans don't think of them as /actual/ hot dogs. They call it either beany wienie (if it's been tinned with beans lmao) or Vienna sausage, unaware that this is what "wiener" fucking means.
>stone ground mustard
I'm Swiss-ish (actually, I'm Italian but mum is dual citizen Italian/Swiss; never bothered getting Swissizenship) but live in America. I stock the fuck up whether I find good mustard here. Even the imports are of inexplicably lesser quality so when I do find good stuff, I make sure to buy lots.
>they call it either beany wienie
Nobody calls it that. Even the 5 year old's who are the only one eating it. And Vienna Sausages are /not/ hot dogs. And the name "Vienna Sausage" literally came from the use of the word "wiener", dum dum. People are only "unaware" of that in the same way that people are "unaware" of what SPAM means.
>Nobody calls it that.
I got the spelling wrong.
I have never heard another irl human being utter the words "beanee weenee" in my entire life.
see
Not surprising. It's not like you've spoken with anywhere near the majority of Americans or anything. Neither have I or anyone else. The whole "America is huge" argument cuts both ways: Euros who've never visited are ignorant of the sheer vastness of the country and Americans who seldom leave their particular corner of it are, too.
Example: do you know what pizzazz is? It's an utterly disgusting pizza variant from Philadelphia. Thick-ass crust topped with American cheese, pickled banana pepper rings, raw slices of tomato and a few shakes of oregano. Five million people in the Philly area are aware of it, but they're a fraction of the entirety of the US, even if that's no small number
But franks and beans are not a regional thing. I grew up in fucking Hawaii and remember my dad cutting up hot dogs and putting them in canned beans when my mom was away for the night because he had no clue what children eat. Is beenie weenie really a regional thing like pop vs soda? Or is it just a name brand you'd never hear spoken if you don't work in a grocery store doing inventory?
Not him but it's just a brand, I've seen canned beans with chopped hot dogs go by a few names and Beanie Weenie is one of them. That said it's not really common, if most people want chopped hot dogs in anything they'll just buy them separately do it themselves because it tastes better, and it's usually added to mac and cheese, not beans. It's definitely not an "all americans do this" kind of thing
>definitely not an "all americans do this" kind of thing
I think it's just one of those things that isn't really common these days. I'm kind of old.
There are a few of us here, but I've definitely talked about hapas before.
I've heard people saying it.
>Hawaii
Oh, I think we've spoken before. I'm the guy with the hapa dad. He was born and grew up in Brooklyn, tho.
We have parisare in the north of sweden which is like a hamburger with thick sausage slice instead of a patty and I've never heard anyone not from there bring it up, and this is just a region of a million people in a rather small country. Every country has regional dishes and stuff that only they really are aware of, especially the more historically developed countries like france and italy where you might have thing that only exists in a single town and has a history of a few hundred years.
oh yeah in case anyone wondered
Nigga, that's a fried bologna sandwich lmao
sort of, yeah
I fucks with it.
If you ever stop by umeå you should have one
I have. They are called beanee weenies. it's exactly what it is.
Vienna sausages are closer to spam than hot dogs, and they aren't particularly commonly eaten. They're considered absolute bottom of the barrel poorfag food by most people
Your hotdogs are generally beef. Ours are generally pork. We get the refrigerator packets too.
As an American I'd advice you to get the burgers, the hotdogs, the mac and cheese,the chili, the muffins and the choc chips. All of it looks good.
Those peanut butter brezel things look pretty good tbh
>MCENNEDY
they really created the most retarded name they could think of just for this
It's perfectly American yet non-American simultaneously
They have all the Oktoberfest stuff at Aldi here in the US. I stock up on the stone ground mustard and pretzel sticks.
I don't know anyone who uses frozen hamburger patties
The hamburgers have buns n cheese and are for the microwave I think. The chicken burger is basically one giant chicken nugget.
the pancakes and chili are nice for what they are
I'm American, but not born nor raised here. I'd get würstchen because I can't get them here and I miss them.
That said, I'd tell you to get the peanut butter and potentially the syrup if you want things which are American but not easily found in the rest of the world. American pancakes are easy to make and everything else either falls into that same category or isn't really something Americans make or eat.
>I'm American, but not born nor raised here
Buddy, you ain't no American
To be American is to be raised in America. You will literally never be an American. Your kids could be, but you won't.
Liking peanut butter automatically makes anyone an honorary American patriot.
Mac and cheese and popcorn are pretty popular here, but I don’t know if they’re not popular in Europe.
>America Week
>Lasagne
Do Germans really?
I recommend to the Bologna Bomb with some Milanese Street Sausage, whipped up by Propaganda Due
>hot dogs in a jar
Do Americans really?
No, we don't. Europeans do.
Never actually. Europæns do, for some reason.
It keeps them fresh for a long time.
They're hotdogs. Why do you need to keep them fresh? Buy them, cook them, eat them.
Cause only Americans eat 8 hot dogs in one sitting.
Most people only buy hot dogs when they're having a cookout.
?si=wPH-K1u_KqhPNjZO
Americans don't use jars
Not for öt dögs at least
lord no..
however i was able to buy a jar of german hotdogs here in the usa.
they're alright... just seems off, the currywurst ketchup though is amazing
Americans eat hotdogs from a can instead.. Look at Vienna sausages. They are absolutely disgusting. They taste like wet cat food logs.
Vienna sausages are poverty food for the lowest strata of society, no one with any self respect eats them
I had pacus I used to feed them to from time to time.
I'd go for the Golden Gate Bridge
lmao was wondering why the fuck that was there, is it a vacation or something?
>vacation in San Francisco
might as well go to India considering all the shit in the streets
I went to San Francisco with my mom in 2013, and I realize now that was probably the last time it was a good place to visit. I bought a grocery bag full of weed on Haight street, ate the best Pupusas I've had to this day, and stayed in the top of the Ghirardelli Clocktower. Shit was cash tbh
I had family that lived in Marin County and we used to visit the Bay back in the 80s and 90s and it was awesome back then, going to Pier 39 as a kid was fucking mind blowing because the NAMCO arcade was insane never saw anything like that on the east coast, and dim sum in China Town was the best I'd ever had
To hear what it has turned into makes me sad as fuck because of those good times back then, I pour one out for the Bay
Everything comes in cycles, my nigga. Wave's gotta come down for it come up, ya feel me?
I'm picking up what you putting down
Just don't google "Operation Gladio" "strategy of tension" or "lavon affair"!
Yeah, I used to visit all the time because I had friends and family in the area, and every time someone would talk shit about San Francisco I'd tell them how awesome it is, and that there were always homeless people. Then they ask when was the last time I was actually there...and I realize it's been over a decade. Apparently it's not the same place anymore.
As an American I don't recognize any of this stuff.
you don't recognize peanut butter or muffins or cheeseburgers huh
That peanut butter is of a way lighter color than what we have, so no
I didn't see muffins
I've never seen cheeseburgers frozen with the bun, so again no. We can get frozen burger patties but I've never seen that shit.
>I've never seen cheeseburgers frozen with the bun
You never looked hard enough.
I had an employee who used to bring two to work daily to nuke for his lunch. They exist. And they look absolutely fucking vile.
I have seen them at gas stations, but they are literally last resort, I am going to die if I don't eat tier.
Maybe that's where he got them. I don't understand why he didn't just bring literally anything else lmao
Around holidays, he'd bring leftover turkey (Thanksgiving), suckling pig (Christmas), barbecue chicken (4th of July) etc but outside of that street if thing four times of five, he'd bring these horrible-looking frozen burgers.
I don't understand why they look so bad. Think about it: frozen breakfast sandwiches look decent enough.
At least he always ate fruit and salad with his sad burgers, so he was getting dinner produce in his diet, too.
He's a good guy and I worry that this sort of diet will fuck him up in later life
>street if thing
SORT OF thing
>but they are literally last resort, I am going to die if I don't eat tier.
I was truck driver for 5 years and I can tell you in certain rural parts of the country lots of gas stations don't have hot or ready food and it gets very tiring eating beef jerky and chips day in and day out, If you ever had a school lunch hamburger they taste like that, I would certainly take it over some of the meals you get in MRE cases.
>I've never seen cheeseburgers frozen with the bun
Look more closely in the frozen foods section of the supermarket because they definitely exist. You might be thinking "A cheeseburger isn't that hard to make, why bother freezing the entire thing?" Because I guess it probably saves time and makes things easy maybe.
do euopeans really?
Do Germans not have fresh ground beef packaged at the butcher’s counter? Where are the numerous cuts of steaks and ribs to smoke?
This all looks like packaged nonsense!
Can a red blooded Amercian please explain what is supposed to be wrong with "MCENNEDY"?
It's not a real name.
Nothing wrong, just hilarious.
It would be like a Canadian grocery chain opening a store that specialized in Indian food and calling "Dec and Pajeet's Toilet Treats"
it's like if I sold spatzel under the brand name Hanz Fritz, it sounds Bavarian but it's nonsense
That's pretty much a real name, though. It would be more like a brand of German-themed food called "Werlenspatser"

Even the imports are of inexplicably lesser quality so when I do find good stuff, I make sure to buy lots. who spoke German as a kid and can still read and understand it but is intimidated to speak it cuz his mum tells him his spoken German is shit : (
At least my Italian and French are perfect
Then neither was John McCain and we didn't see any birtherism about him being born in fucking Panama.
Fact of the matter is, my dad is half American, born and raised in America and by American citizenship rules, he's American because his father is American and he was born in America and I am also American because anyone born to one American parent is an American at birth regardless of whether they were born on American soil or not.
Tough titty, kiddie.
The frozen onion rings are pretty good and the frozen McRib thingy is ok, thats about it. Oh wait, they don't have those...again. fuck lidl is getting worse. it's a shame.
Do they do a frozen biscuit breakfast sandwich with sausage patty, egg, and cheese? Those are slop but I love theem.
This is one of those foods that's shit, but really good all at the same time. It's like schrodinger's biscuit.
None of this is american, is this why europeans all think we eat dumb bullshit?
>is this why europeans all think we eat dumb bullshit?
Lot's of bigger grocery stores in Europe have "American" sections the same way we have Oriental/Mexican/Kosher sections, with actual imported American foods. The problem is that it's all the kind of shit you'd find in a gas station or drug store, as in, all prepackaged garbage nobody actually eats unless they're in a situation where they have to buy food from a gas station at 2am. They also have fast food (and they fucking love it, no matter what anyone here tells you), and are unironically obsessed with American youtubers. Probably 90% of the e-celeb spam on Culinaly comes from Europeans. So yeah, they have a really skewed idea of what Americans really.

she says, passportlessly
Lol. Americans travel abroad far more than Europeans.
>american candy bars somehow sold in sport bottles
See, this doesn't exist in America. It's like they asked a bunch of Europeans what American foods they want to try and they just said, "make me as fat and disgusting as possible because that's what I think of Americans", and then they created new products just for Europe that nobody would actually buy in the US. It's kind of sad, becaue they do it to themselves.
>american candy bars somehow sold in sport bottles
Fuck me you're retarded. Those are drinks. They're not American, they're British, because it's a mix of "not-wherever-this-country-is" food.
>they don't have smores flavored poptarts
Grim
lol
That's demonstrably false, picrel.
And I would bet the majority of these Americans with passports are people like me who actually happen to have a connection to some other country.
The majority of American-born-and-raised Americans who've even been abroad have only gone to the Caribbean or fucking Mexico and nowhere else
Now post the version where the South isn't included.
6 months doesn't make you an expat. That's a short job assignment, study abroad, or a long vacation.
>Now post the version where the South isn't included.
Nice notruescotsman cope, but even omitting them, the Southwest, the Prairie States and the Midwest, it really wouldn't change shit much lmao

And just to hammer the point further that you're utterly divorced from reality lmao
>people in less poor areas tend to travel more
I don't think you made the point you think you made.
>The highest percentage off passport holders when is 55%, compared to Europe's 90% +
I think I made the point just fine. Sadly, the only point you've got is at the top of your skull, Schlitzie.
You're conflating "traveling abroad" with "having a passport". Just because you take a 45 minute train-ride to a non-schengen, European country doesn't mean you've "traveled abroad". If Americans needed a passport to go from California to Chicago, or Texas to Florida, the number of passport holders would easily be in the 90th percentile. Almost all of that "55%" represents people who travel to actual foreign countries.
>Just because you've travelled to a different country doesn't mean you're in a different country.
Okay.
Not him but europeans travel to different countries more than americans do because your entire countries are the size of our individual states, less people in America have passports because our country is a third of a whole continent that we're allowed to travel anywhere in freely without getting stopped by border guards every 2 hours

No, the point was leaving the Schengen zone. You don't know what that is, do you?
She's going to argue that traveling to another country that speaks another language and has another religion AND IS ON ANOTHER FUCKING CONTINENT also doesn't count because reasons, just you fucking watch.
Those are foreign countries. I already made my argument
>The majority of American-born-and-raised Americans who've even been abroad have only gone to the Caribbean or fucking Mexico and nowhere else
Probably because it costs much more money to go anywhere else.
Probably, but even when they go to the Caribbean or Mexico, they never see/do anything. They just go to some resort to eat, sleep and shit for five days. I really don't understand the point of that sort of travel.
>American flag
>Yorkshire tea
It's just stuff for "expats" anon. You can see it in
; the "American" food includes British teabags & Marmite. It's stuff "expats" crave as a home comfort. It's nothing deeper than that.
Yes, there's obviously some British stuff mixed in there, and maybe Marmite and English tea are comfort foods to bongs, but literally no American is craving fucking marshmallow fluff or Campbell's condensed soup after living abroad for 5 years.
Okay and what about the ones who have been there 6 months? Most expats never stay 5 years.
That begs the question: as a Yank, what /would/ you crave after living abroad a while? I live in the US and there are a number of foods I miss from back home so I actually talk about this a lot with Americans and I'm always interested in their answers.
The most surprising one was flavoured creamer. A woman I met at my best friend's wedding said she misses flavoured coffee creamer most of all after living on the Isle of Mann for the last decade (at the time of the conversation, anyway). Surprisingly, she said the local supermarket there is also ShopRite, just as it is in Nuh Joisey
>Mann
Dang stuck N key.
Here's the Isle of Man ShopRite website. Very 90s Internet vibe:
https://www.manxshoprite.com/
Oh, and she also said British stock cubes have no flavour whatsoever lmao
My American ex would buy A&W Rootbeer & Velveeta whenever she could find it. She even bought Applejacks & Twinkies at times.
>6 months doesn't make you an expat.
If you arrive for a 3 year posting and are at month 6 you're not an expat? When do you become one? Month 7? After 1 year?
>what /would/ you crave after living abroad a while?
That's actually a really good question, and something I haven't thought about in a while. I spent a year in England and 2 years in France, and I know at a certain point I started craving something familiar, even if it wasn't something I would normally eat at home. The problem is that America is huge, and diverse, so finding something not only shelf stable, but appealing to *all* of America is kind of hard. I actually live in a different part of the country from where I grew up, so even in the US there are foods I crave but have a difficult time finding. I do know that at no point was I ever eating a fresh baguette and thinking to myself, "I should make a trip over to Monoprix later today to pick up some Pop-tarts."
Yes, yes, but you specifically. What do you crave? After being in the US as long as I have? I'd probably miss the fuck out of Sunchips were I to go back home. I don't even eat them very often. Maybe one bag every few years. But I think that I would eventually miss them since nothing else really tastes like a Sunchip.
Another thing might be the Maruchan cheese yakisoba.
>I should make a trip over to Monoprix later today to pick up some Pop-tarts
Currently in France and the Pop Tarts are insanely expensive. Also they only have the worst flavours. I've never seen them in the Monoprix near me though, only in specialty shops or randomly in some specific Auchan.
Good smoked brisket, and good bbq overall
Unironically probably American cheese. I’m sure I’d love having access to the finest cheeses from France, Switzerland, Spain… but sometimes you just want a really gooey grilled cheese.
We have them, too. In fact, my family use them to make fondue since they help the other cheeses melt and not split. It's a cheat's method but we dgaf
Oh neat, in that case probably real maple syrup then. I heard that’s hard to find over there
it's just not the same
American processed has a chemical tang that Yuro cheese can't replicate
As an Euro living in the US, they taste the same to me. Or, at least, they taste like the deli American, not the individually wrapped singles.
Everyone uses american cheese for burgers here.
I live in the southwest US and you can't walk ten feet without tripping over a taco truck or decent tex mex place yet from my understanding that type of food kinda barely exists outside America. So probably that.
I ate at a taco place in stockholm which had real mexicanos working in the kitchen and those tacos were awesome

Just make your own burger bro, why would you buy it out a bag?
My uncle is the only person I know who makes frozen burgers, the Bubba burgers. They are fucking gross and more expensive than just getting 80/20 ground beef. If someone is too lazy to make hamburger patties, they don't deserve to eat.
Nobody uses a honey dipper for syrup.

It's 7264916379 layers of cold cuts and cheese topped with sauce.
Do you even know what a quiche is? Or are you just retarded?
lmao yes I know what a quiche is but I've never heard of this kind of pizza before. It just seems like an eggless quiche if your only frame of reference is that picture. Don't be so offended anon
>is a deep dish pizza just a quiche? I've never had one so im curious.
deep dish pizza is NOT like quiche Iwhich savory egg custard and is baked in a traditional pie crust).
Deep dish is just pizza flavors, ie seasoned tomato sauce, italian sausage with parm, and lots of mozzarella 3inches thick, with a crust that is more like yeast risen buttery brioche bread crust. It is knife and fork meal, not eaten in the hands. Most people are utterly full after one rich slice. Look up Lou Malnatis to find some video press.
Even Chicagoans eat the other kind of pizza as much as their deep dish mood. It's like do you want simple spagetti or a baked dish like stuffed shells. Mood.
Just checked out a video, it seems decent and easy enough that I want to try it now. Unfortunately nowhere near me serves it so I have to make it myself. I don't have a high-rimmed pan or skillet but I'll try with the dutch oven.
He has more locations in chicago than Dominos, I am sure. It's simple and delicious.

hot dog sausages are good, absolutely nothing wrong with them.
muffins are low tier, the chocolate ones are a little better.
peanut butter is fine.
pancakes are surprisingly good if you're too lazy to make them yourself.
maple syrup is complete trash, just sugary water like every other maple syrup in german stores. you have to order it online, even amazon has decent stuff
>literally inedible
I've never encountered any unspoiled or unburnt food that wasn't edible.
I honestly don't understand how people can dislike a food so much that they can't eat it.
you should try those refrigerated burgers. everything that makes burgers great, the dark brown crust of the patty, the melted cheese on top, the toasted buns with a delicious sauce... none of it is there. refrigerated burgers are the worst food you can buy at a grocery store besides canned ravioli, this is no exception
If they have peanutflips you should 100% get those. I never had them before until I moved to Europe (Austria) and they are UNREAL. Like peanut butter cheetos. Also it was very funny to me that they are marketed in Austria like an American snack.
I think America and all of its ignorant savages should die screaming.

German lentil soup is underrated but I never had a canned one.
Don't get any of that stuff. It's a cheap imitation of food that is already the lowest common denominator in the US. I'd recommend just making something from scratch with an american theme.
The are just regular items that are already sold everywhere
in socialist countries like europe you have to eat what the state tells you
if they say eat american food you eat it
all these different country themed weeks are the best thing about LIDL because you get to try new stuff but american week is as basic as it gets. the selection used to be much bigger too.
the real highlight this week is the god tier garofalo pasta for 1.24€
I wouldn't buy most of that stuff
Things like popcorn and pancakes are retardedly simple to make yourself and will turn out better
The only things that might be worth it are the chili, the syrup, and the peanut butter if you don't actually have any around usually
The burgers look like they would be shit but that IS amerikkkan culture when you buy things like fast food or have someone else cook. The flat hyperprocessed stuff is common for people to use if they don't want to form patties out of ground beef themselves. That would be a genuine experience.
Real shit though, the only thing that would actually define american products for me having lived all around the world is supplements. It's a pain and a half to get anything even mildly useful from "chemists" and other sources of drugs in Europe and elsewhere.
Aptly an American week of ACTUALLY hard to get goods in europe (or wherever) would look like a GNC ad because you can pretty easily imitate american cuisine (usually of better quality) with local ingredients
american pancakes have to be made by moms(grandmas are moms)
>What would the Americans here recommend?
I wouldn't recommend a thing in this picture, other than american style bacon if dry cured and thick sliced or applewood smoked, or crunchy natural style peanut butter, actual maple syrup (if it is real maple), and maybe the frozen garden burger which is a decent freezer staple for a random mood. Garden burgers are only good when pan seared til browned well, and given good amount of toppings like grilled onions and peppers, avocado and tomato slices, maybe an aioli.
Most americans know to stay away from frozen ground beef preformed burgers. They are frequently low quality and recalled for ecoli from time to time.
get some of those burgers in a bag. everybody here eats burgers from a bag all the time
Be careful, there's some very sensitive americans who can't handle the bantz in this thread and started their own what they really eat.
Americans are like a fantasy species with conflicting lore across numerous cultures as to their diet.
The funny thing is, nothing in there is remotely typical for an American diet lmao IE the thread ain't shit else but cope

Thank you for proving that Americans don't actually go to church, despite all their posturing otherwise, you godless fuck.
Nobody on Culinaly goes to church you loser.
I went last week (well, to meeting, not church; quaker) but chose not to this week.
Don't quakers just sit around in a circle until someone feels like talking about whatever random thing pops into their head or something? That's not really church.
No they strafe around in a circle going HUH HUH HUH HUH HUH
That's called silent worship or waiting worship and it depends on the meeting. Mine does that, yes, and it's part of the reason I didn't wanna go this week, lol.
Other Quakers, particularly those in Africa and the Americas outside of the "coastal elite" areas have meetings more similar to typical Christian churches, complete with a preacher and pews and hymns. I think that they, like us, still don't have any set clergy and the preacher rotates among the Friends of that meeting while our meeting lack any preaching at all. We focus on a personal relationship with God, the Unknowable or Most High and speak (bearing of testimony) during waiting worship only when moved by the Spirit to do so.
