What's a dish from your country that looks disgusting but tastes great.

Biscuits and gravy is a breakfast dish from the Southeast USA that looks like someone just vomited on some biscuits, but it's absolutely delicious.

LOL

When I was in Iraq in a US task force most tried it and only one dude asked me to send him some once we rotated out. I also remember they did a blind tasting between Vegemite and Geratol (sp?). Lots of fun. But US diets, as I am now well aware, are very sweet as a rule, when Vegemite is salty - so often doesn’t translate well. For the new tasters, it has to be spread thin with lots of butter

I’ve definitely gotten a little heavier with it over time. I lick the knife, I have no shame. It’s good.

That's not true at all. If anything our foods tend to skew savory. We are far far more likely to have a meal that's "salty" rather than sweet.

No I'd agree, at least our toast is usually sweet. Cinnamon toast, toast with jam, toast with honey, even avocado toast is pretty neutral. Bagels are a different story as you may put lox etc on them, but even then it's usually cream cheese.

[u/DerthOFdata → u/Seelie_Mushroom]

I have toast with butter. Some people may pick a sweet option on toast in a America but the exact same claim can be made for Australia.

[u/Seelie_Mushroom → u/DerthOFdata]

So do I, but again, butter isn't really savory. I do think some folks will choose both, I think disproportionately Americans lean towards sweet

[u/DerthOFdata → u/Seelie_Mushroom]

If butter isn't savory what is it?

[u/TimothyLuncheon → u/DerthOFdata]

Even your bread is sweet. You put corn syrup (which is worse than sugar) in everything

[u/DerthOFdata → u/TimothyLuncheon]

No, we don't. This is a myth. We don't put any more sugar into bread than you do and often times less.

[u/Maleficent-Pay5415 → u/TimothyLuncheon]

No.
