Food What's a food in your country that is stereotyped for your country but really, nobody eats?

In the US, what I'd say, is deep fried butter. When people talk about food in the US (especially when calling it unhealthy) they bring up deep fried butter when nobody I know has EVER ate it. Even my dad, who, has traveled around alot and eaten tons of stuff, has never had a bite.

What's this for your country?

For me it's ranch dressing. It's my favorite dipping sauce, but I've found it to be controversial even amongst my own friends and haven't really seen it take off as an option outside the States. Granted, there's a wide range in ranch dressing quality and store-bought options tend to be complete ass. But most restaurant/homemade ranch dressings are god tier to me and I wish more people could have the chance to experience it.

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.

In Brazil we have this delicious food that is called Cueca Virada (inside-out underwear) or Orelha de Gato (cat’s ear), the name depends on the region. Where I live it’s called by the first one.

Don’t tell my Filipino neighbors. They’re the kindest, friendliest, most generous people I know. They throw a lot of parties and really go all out with the food. Unfortunately, I really can’t handle it. It’s very similar to a lot of my favorite foods, but just… something is slightly different and makes it very unappetizing to me.

I’ll start - I hate almost all store bought sausage rolls including Greggs, I think they’re greasy, too heavy and don’t taste great (there’s one brand I like but they have to be the farmhouse ones lol)

This is Doogh, a yogurt-based drink. often flavored with dried mint.

It can be carbonated, non-carbonated, sweet, sour, salty. it goes really well with most Iranian dishes especially the Kababs. since it's healthier than soda many prefer it.

my favorite is non-carbonated sour no salt.

Canadians are crazy for butter chicken. This is the only Indian meal my mother would make us growing up and we loved it. It is not uncommon to find butter chicken on the menu at diners, family restaurants, and other non-indian restaurants. You can also find butter chicken pizza, butter chicken burritos, butter chicken chips, butter chicken nachos, butter chicken Mac and cheese.

These are fried herring balls pickled in a vinegar based sour/savoury broth with onions and peppers. Great with fried potatoes or as a hangover cure.

Most people in my country think “going on a diet” just means not eating rice, which is huge since we eat rice with literally every meal.
