11 Terrible American Foods That Make Me Proud To Be British

Why are you all turning meat into a loaf?

What kind of a monster could dream up this disgrace? Why is there olive embedded in the meat? What kind of meat is this? So many terrifying questions.

2. Picklebacks:

For some reason unbeknownst to me, Americans created the pickleback. A shot of pickle brine that is drunk after a shot of whiskey. People are out there voluntarily drinking brine for fun!

3. Corn dog:

The outer casing around the sausage confuses me greatly. it might be bread, but it also looks like a sort of cake sponge. It's kind of like the terrible cousin of a Scotch egg.

4. Cheese in a can:

Now, don't get me wrong — I'm all for unique approaches to cheese — but squirty cheese is just a step too far, just a step too far. Can this even be classified as real cheese? Who knows.

5. Jello salad:

This is just vile, pure hell in a jelly mould. According to my sources, jello salad can be made with fruit, vegetables, cream cheese, marshmallows, or even pretzels! This is just another example of too much food freedom; these people need to be stopped.

6. Green bean casserole:

Green bean casserole, which consists of green beans (duh), fried onions, and cream of mushroom soup, sounds like a dish that a 3-year-old would dream up if let loose in the kitchen.

7. Meatloaf:

Just try to make this sound appetising: "ground meat formed into the shape of a loaf". Absolutely vile.

8. Sweet potato pie:

What are they trying to achieve here: Is it a main? Is it a dessert? Either way, it's a disgrace.

9. Sweet potato casserole:

This seems like something you might dream up while under the influence. What do Americans have against sweet potatoes, and why are they constantly adding sugar to them? They're already sweet, guys!

10. Snow cones:

In my eyes, snow cones are trying to compete with the likes of ice cream and iced lollies, and they just don't measure up. How anyone can call some crushed ice and syrup "food" is beyond me.

11. Biscuits and gravy:

Purely because this is NOT what biscuits and gravy look like, and no one can convince me otherwise. You wouldn't catch me putting Bisto on my custard creams, that's for sure!
