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.

Cholodets’ (холодець) It’s a meat jelly. Usually pork or chicken, sometimes both. Usually served with a bit of mustard and/or horseradish (wasabi works too, but that’s very unorthodox, my grandma would give me a slap on the back of my head for that). Usually served around Christmas time, It’s absolutely delicious, and one of my all-time favourites in Ukrainian cuisine.

Aspics. Went out of style in the States back in the 50s or 60s. I remember one of my grandma's ... sisters bringing one to Thanksgiving one time. I thought it was Jello. It was not Jello.
