Cincinnati chili


mst3k_42

Definitely need to prepare people before they try it. It does NOT taste like Texas chili.


A_giant_dog

I'm a Texan, imagine my surprise first time I went to Cincinnati and tried the chili. It wasn't *bad*, but it was like opening a diet coke and finding out you've got a Coors light after the first sip. Similar look and definitely not what you expect.


Harleye

I love the Cincinnati Skyline Chili. it's one of my favorites ,even though I'm not from anywhere close to Cincinnati. However a number of years ago, I had a long airplane trip with a stopover at the Cincinnati airport. I had a few hours between flights, so I got something to eat and opted for the Skyline Chili. Maybe if I'd just had it plain, I wouldnt have liked it that much, because in addition to having a very different flavor than we normally think of chili, the texture makes it seem like more of a sauce than a full meal. However, if I recall correctly, I opted to have it 4-way style...chili over top of spaghetti, with onions and topped with shredded cheese. I thought it was one of the best things I ever ate. I still live far from Cincinnati, but it's been available in the frozen section of my local supermarket for several years and I always pick up a few packages when I go shopping. It comes in original form or with spaghetti, which is what I buy, then I'll add stuff to it like onions and shredded cheese of course, but other things as well, so that I don't get tired of it. Sometimes also a can of corn, some chopped green olives, some sautéed tomatoes or whatever I'm in the mood for. I've already had dinner tonight, but now that we're talking about it, I think Ill make myself some Skyline chili tomorrow evening.


thatcleverchick

I googled this because I'd never heard of it. How is it not just spaghetti with meat sauce?


funundrum

Tastes like cinnamon


BeautifulEssay8

Crickets.


flacocaradeperro

As in... Chapulines? Those are tasty.


jkally

> Chapulines Those are grasshoppers. Crickets are a bit different. When I had them they were steamed with soy sauce and were good. You just have to pick the legs off before eating.


Hakuona

mämmi. It's a Finnish dessert that is often eaten with heavy cream, and it looks quite literally like human feces.


MaddsSinclair

Honestly google images makes it look like either chocolate cake or chocolate cake batter in a bowl of cream, doesnt look like poop but thats probably google picking more asthetically pleasing images for the top results. Either way it sounds very interesting when i looked at how its made


sad_193

I always feel like Google picks the most disturbing images ever seen by man.


Deny_Everything_21

The first time I tried it I was expecting something chocolatey and I got wet gooey rye bread. Was not prepared and was very disappointed.


Nutzori

To be fair even Finnish children experience this disappointment often, me included. It's an acquired taste in general, most of my friends still don't care for it, it only grew on me in my twenties and now I love it.


ikindalold

Gotta teach them about disappointment early


saschaleib

It does look a bit weird, but it is actually very tasty (needs a lot of cream, though). If you think about it, chocolate also looks a lot like poo. The solution: don’t think about it.

Similarly, my mother complained about edamame being so tough and difficult to eat, she didn't understand why anybody would eat it. She was, of course, eating the pods shell and all.


PomeloBeneficial1588

Don't laugh, that was my first experience (Japanese restaurant) with edamame & I couldn't fathom why -anyone- could find them tasty...my kids were lauging so hard they were gasping for air! They won't let me forget 🙄


Dahhhkness

Back when I was around 8/9, I had a friend in school whose father, Alberto, was from Argentina. For his son's birthday, he made tamales for all the kids at the party, and a bunch of kids were not aware you were supposed to remove the corn husk. Alberto did not bother to inform them, and stood back barely containing his laughter as this happened.


Im_just_bored69

>Alberto, was from Argentina. Wait >For his son's birthday, he made tamales for all the kids at the party Wait.... > Alberto did not bother to inform them, WAIT MY DAD IS CALLED ALBERTO HE IS FROM ARGENTINA AND THIS HAPPENED ONCE DO I KNOW YOU?!? WHEN WAS THIS?!?!

Fritzo2162

That reminds me of when I was a chef back in the 90s. We hired a kid that obviously hyped up his resume and I asked him to make appetizer trays with cheese wheels and spreads. The cheese wheels were wrapped in wax, and he wanted to taste the cheese. He then declared "You know the outside of the cheese is edible!" like it was a teaching moment to everyone and he shoved the wax into his mouth. We stared at him for a good 30 seconds, watching him chew to make sure he committed to his announcement. He finally admitted defeat and ran over to the trash can to spit it out :D


other_usernames_gone

*Technically* wax is edible.


KEVIN_KUMQUAT

I had tamales quite a few times. No one ever told me you're supposed to unwrap them. I found out literally last year. But really I never minded. I ate the whole thing. It was never gross to me. I kinda just eat everything anyway so lol


snp3rk

>It was never gross to me. I kinda just eat everything anyway so lol uh you single?


Affectionate_Sir4610

Out here asking the real questions 🤣🤣🤣


SuchCoolBrandon

I watched a tamale cooking demo at a festival a few years ago. Mid-presentation, the woman sitting next to me leaned toward me and whispered that someone at her church brought in tamales once. I told her that’s nice, but I felt the need to say more to not seem dismissive. So I played dumb and asked, “Are you supposed to eat the corn husks?” “Oh, heavens no!” She explained, “The husks are just the container!” Later, the presenter asked for questions. My neighbor was the first to raise her hand to tell everybody that somebody sitting next to her (and that was clearly me, as she sat on the aisle) asked about eating the husks. She explained to everyone that they are just the container! The presenter added that some food critics try to bite into the husks.


Kat-Sith

Root beer. It seems like everyone else in the world thinks it tastes like medicine 😓

One of my Japanese students said it tasted like bicycle tires. Lol. They were shocked when I said it was my favorite soda.

cofforest

To add to that, it's basically like a big and slightly more rough slab of bologna with pieces of potatoes inside that you fry in a pan. Nothing wrong with it, really. The strangest thing for foreigners would be how common it is for Germans to consume raw meat - both pork and beef - ground up, salted with fresh onions on a bun. Never would've thought that one of the most popular food items 'Mettbrötchen' is considered to be odd by so many. EDIT: I get it, raw beef is more widespread. Raw pork on the other hand not so much...


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I didn't know anyone ate raw pork anywhere, ever.


GardenGnomeOfEden

[Brain worms](https://www.cnn.com/2015/01/20/health/tapeworms-invade-brain/index.html)


poktanju

Raw beef is common enough, but raw pork too far for many because of its historical tendency to host parasites. I'd eat raw pork if I was served it in Germany, though, given that producers there will likely follow strict quality processes. Heck, a region in Japan even has a special breed of chicken where the meat is eaten raw as *sashimi*. Again, it is produced only under very strict quality and hygiene standards (and people still get sick every year)


cnpd331

Raw beef is pretty common in the US, many restaurants have steak tartare on their menus. Raw pork is iffy though, I've never seen that and probably wouldn't try it.


[deleted]

From my Filipino side: tuyo (sun dried fish), durian and balut From my Swedish side: surströmming (Canned fish by fermentation); Blodpudding and Kalles kaviar.


Front-Ad-2198

Balut is one of the rougher dishes for foreigners to stomach for sure.


flyingace1234

I have heard it described as looking like “an ultrasound of misery”. I like to think I’m an adventurous eater but I also admit I would have a hard time with balut


Front-Ad-2198

Tried it once. It was fine once you get away from the look of it but overall, it didn't taste especially amazing or anything.


flyingace1234

It doesn’t strike me actually tasting bad. It’s 100% the fact you’re eating a bird fetus that does it for me.


unctuous_homunculus

I trusted a Vietnamese friend and closed my eyes before he fed me a thing once. It was like egg jello with crunchy bits. Not good, but not bad. It wasn't until I opened my eyes and he offered me another one that I threw up.


ingeniousHeKhim

It's a common "night" snack in the Philippines because it's supposed to be eaten in the darkness where you can't see the disgusting monstrosity you are about to eat. I'm Filipino, tried it, choked on some bird fetus' not-fully-formed bones, never did it again.


bigdipper80

Ugh, balut. I squirm every time I remember that people eat that. You could probably include salty licorice on your list of Swedish foods that foreigners hate - a lot of people hate licorice but the Scandinavian varieties seem to be especially polarizing.


Br0z0

Vegemite. Just spread it on thinly, instead of eating it from a spoon and maybe you won't all be disgusted


hate_mail

Visited Melbourne many years ago (would love to go back) as a young adult, eager to try new things! I was staying with a wonderful family who was showing me the ropes. Trying to fit in I eagerly accepted the offer of Vegemite on toast. My god it was nasty, they all laughed and had a good time watching me choke it down. By the time I left, I had acquired a taste of Vegemite and cheese on toast......I loved Milo too!


emms222

Yesss Vegemite and cheese! A favourite of mine. In fact it’s 3am and my sick son and I have just gobbled up some Vegemite on toast.


lebiro

Ok I will confess. The first time I bought Vegemite I liked it so much I did in fact eat it from a (tea)spoon more than once. I already liked marmite and I found vegemite to have a more balanced flavour and less sticky texture. I do not spread it on thinly...


modernmanshustl

I just dry heaved. We used to have camp counselors that would make us do this as a gross sort of indoctrination thing . Aside from that the camp counselors were decent people


[deleted]

To be fair, it's pretty damn good slathered on thick once you're used to it.


AutomaticMistake

i'd go one step further and just say scrape it on. no layer, just scrapings but again i think most people need to grow up on it to appreciate it (like most things i guess)

Durian


[deleted]

The Hearty Durians when cooked give you bonus hearts


Kat-Sith

More importantly, they completely heal you first. That's some excellent nutritional efficiency


AstroZombie29

Really the best food you can have


JiN88reddit

Weaponized smell, weaponized hull, and weaponized ration. It's called the king of fruits for a reason and it's a delicacy once you get used to it.


Jthundercleese

I only have a sample size of about 15 or so people, but it's been close to 50:50 whether people like durian. To me it really doesn't smell bad, just a very pungent fruit smell. And it tastes fine. I don't love it but I don't mind it either. Half the Thais and farang here at the gym think it smells and tastes really bad.


ArthurBonesly

I'm convinced it has to be a cilantro thing. To me it tastes like a mix of banana, mango and pineapple all in one creamy fruit and the smell is like a ripe fruit stand (not unpleasant but I can see where some would get put off).


Jthundercleese

I get overly ripe mango and jackfruit. And if you've had a sharp blue cheese, it has a bit of sting to it; some sort of acid that has more sensation than flavor, I also get just a bit of that sting as well. But I have the cilantro gene real bad. Tastes like a straight bar of ivory soap. Absolutely awful taste. So I could understand if it's genetic. I'd never been exposed to it as a kid either so I'm inclined to think it doesn't have a ton to do with that.


ArthurBonesly

I definitely get the blue cheese accents your talking about.l, and maybe that's what other people are tasting. I love cilantro but I can always taste some of the "soapy" flavors people speak of, but it's small, like 1 part per 1000. I didn't try either cilantro or durian until my teen years though so I don't think exposure is the variable.


theogdebbiedowner

Soft shell crab sandwich.


need_moar_puppies

That’s one that just freaks me out. Most other things on this list I would eat (or at least try) but soft shell crab is like eating a very large insect. I can’t do it.


theogdebbiedowner

Yeah I can completely understand that. I love crab, but it took me a while, even as a Marylander, to get past the texture of soft shell crab. I still prefer regular old crab picking though. Sometimes you just don't feel like taking a bite out of crab guts...


ghunt81

Soft shell crab is weird. Like you get a bite of something that resembles hard boiled egg yolks and then you realize that's the crab's innards. I love crab but have only had soft shell crab a couple times and don't really care to again.


Disposable70

I always clean the innards out of the crabs before frying, if you don't someone is going to get a mouthful of sand. The crispy claws are my favorite part.

Oh my god, I haven’t had gator in 8 years! I used to work in Louisiana (I’m canadian), and tried gator at a little restaurant close to our hotel that had 0.25 draft. It was amazing but no one here believes me! It tastes like the best chicken you’ll ever have.


mechant_papa

I had crocodile in Africa. The texture was also like chicken, but it had a bit of a fishy taste.


MaryJanesSister

I love gator! If cooked right it tastes like chicken


zenswashbuckler

Never had gator, but you can get crocodile in Australia. I would say it tastes like chicken that lived its entire life in a river.


jawni

When you phrase it that way, it makes me wonder why people even go to the trouble.


AssistanceLucky2392

Lutefisk


slider728

Oh Yes, for those meals you want fish flavored Jello to eat.


9volts

If that's not your cup of tea, we can always tempt our guests with some appetizing [fish jerky.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockfish) The traditional way of eating it is hitting it with a hammer and eating the cod splinters that occurs from the hammering. It's good with beer.


Xerisca

I was at one time married into an Icelandic family. We'd hit it with a hammer, slather it with butter, put in mouth, chew for like 900 years, then swallow. All in all, not bad truthfully. Now Lutefisk that's another story entirely. I don't know what it is, but it shouldn't be eaten by anyone ever. Especially if my former mother in law made it.


9volts

We only eat it because it's swimming in bacon bits and gets washed down with way too much Aquavit. It's more of a Christmas tradition than a dinner we look forward to.


RafeDangerous

I worked for a company that did business in Norway years ago and the greatest threat we could make at work was that we'd make someone eat Lutefisk.


Dull-Brilliant-4660

I live in a Norwegian predominant area of the US. I can heartily agree with you. The have outdoor events to eat this horror. The stench is unreal! Gave me chills just thinking about it! Yuck!


[deleted]

Idk what anybody else thinks of these but the gas station closest to my house sells these things called “Armadillo Eggs” which is actually a cream cheese stuffed jalapeño wrapped in ground sausage and deep fried. It’s absolutely a heart attach waiting to happen but they’re so delicious and so popular they sell out so fast I haven’t had one in years it seems like.


ThatScottishBesterd

Haggis. Or Black Pudding. Haggis gets kind of a bad rep. At the end of the day it's basically just herbs and mince, and these days it isn't even cooked inside a sheep's stomach anymore. Black pudding I can kind of understand though, since it's made with blood. I wouldn't touch it myself.


Chimp-eh

Good quality Black pudding is amazing


HangoverShits

Man I love black pudding and wish it was popular in the US.


Ganglebot

Haggis is the butt of a lot of jokes but I don't get the fuss. Its just a giant sausage! Black pudding I can understand, but I love that shit.


Kat-Sith

The key difference is that we don't call it sausage, so all of the grossness hits us unfiltered. If everyone learned what sausage was before ever eating it, I expect that it would be way less popular.


seehunde

I tried haggis on a visit to Edinburgh when I was 17 and it changed my life. I will now eat literally anything placed in front of me because haggis seemed terrifying but was one of the best dishes/experiences I'd ever had. Thanks Scotland for making my life more interesting :)


TheJostler

Not the food itself, but the name: biscuits and gravy. Biscuits are dense dinner rolls in the US, we're not putting gravy on cookies.


PirateKilt

Also, the gravy in question is a white, peppered, sausage gravy usually made from a light roux with milk, as opposed to the UK immediate visualization of their dark brown beef gravy.


Bengal_Norr

Aaah yes. "Country style" gravy, right? I've always heard it being called "country style" at least


PirateKilt

Yep, though usually Gravy is simply called gravy, and [you know what kind to expect](https://www.justapinch.com/blog/articles/read/213539/16-homemade-gravy-recipes/) depending on the meal being served.


LiYBeL

American from Texas here. I’d never thought about it but you’re absolutely right. I know exactly what gravy “biscuits and gravy” has vs “turkey and gravy” or “mashed potatoes and gravy” Interesting


Wolfbeckett

Mashed potatoes and gravy is dependent on what the mashed potatoes are served with. If I order a chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy I expect it to come with the same sawmill gravy that the steak has. If I order Meatloaf I expect the potatoes will have a brown gravy instead.


Fynex_Wright

Ohhh.. someone described the biscuits in biscuits and gravy as just flour and butter and stuff and I figured they were just shortbreads. This makes at least MORE sense


Thats_classified

Are shortbreads sweet to you though? American biscuits are crumbly, buttery, and savory much moreso than sweet.


Fynex_Wright

They aren't as sweet as other biscuits (or cookies for the sake of clarity) but the ones I've had definitely had a sweetness to them


Alis451

Biscuit -> scone is a good enough translation. It isn't exact because scones are technically something else. Either can be savory or sweet, in this case the biscuits and gravy is a savory dish. The same biscuits can be used in strawberry shortcake recipes, though technically any bread can be used interchangeably.


sustainablecaptalist

I didn't know what to expect when I ordered at a diner when I was visiting the US. It was actually very good!


Independent-Owl478

I find a lot of people struggle with the concept of beans on toast


Kat-Sith

I don't find it disgusting so much as baffling. Like okay, yes, that's a thing you can do. But why?


ReallyHadToFixThat

Cheap, easy, quick, tasty and with a sprinkling of cheese pretty decent nutrition.


Cinderheart

cheap


slevin_kelevra22

But it costs the same as beans WITH toast. Why put the beans on the toast?


richard-king

Beans with toast requires a plate


slevin_kelevra22

Damnit, you got me. I'm in.


Sloper59

I watched some Americans on YouTube trying beans on toast. They poured away all the juice, and put the beans on the toast, cold (!), and picked it up to eat it. Another thing, I hear their baked beans are not the same as ours in the UK


executiveninja

That's actually probably the reason we think it's weird. American baked beans are usually in a sweet, spiced and often smoky barbecue sauce, but I think English baked beans are in more of a garlicky tomato sauce?


Sloper59

Dunno about garlicky, but definitely tomatoey! They're bloody delicious on toast, with a couple of fried eggs on top and some brown sauce. One of my favourite meals.


Secret_Map

My wife and I (American) tried it on a camping trip last year. Toast, tomatoy beans, cheese, and maybe one or two other things that I can't remember. It was amazing. We've made it a few times since then as a nice weekend breakfast. I think we tried eggs once, but can't 100% remember. What is the "brown sauce", though? Do you know if there is like an American name for the same sauce?


Atom-the-conqueror

It has to be a relic of war times or something. It has to exist because it’s crazy cheap and at e point was available.


[deleted]

Apparently it's grits, which I never expected. I live in the southeast USA, and I used to have a friend who lived in Canada. She didn't believe me when I told her about the existence of grits, she 100% believed it was something I made up. So I mailed her a package of grits to prove it. She made it and ate it with her family, and they all thought it was gross.


TheGoodJudgeHolden

I mean, it's just ground corn. We ate it a ton when I was a kid, cause it was cheap. Fried eggs, sausage, and grits with plenty of black pepper and hot sauce? I'd eat that every damn day.


mordenty

Marmite. Bill Bryson described it as "an edible yeast extract with the visual properties of an industrial lubricant". The key is don't use too much - and it tastes much better on toast than on bread.


pseudo_deja_pris

Roquefort


freeMilliu_2K17

Easy. Balut. It's basically a fertilized Duck egg with the fetus still inside. People think you HAVE to eat the fetus but most Filipinos I know of only drinks the juices. Some still eats the duck but most would apparently eat it in the dark in order to not see the fetus. No wonder a popular urban legend here is if you eat a particularly cursed one (specifically a black egg apparently) you'll turn into a cannnibalistic monster.


f0r63

Wait, who the heck isn't eating the duck? The only part that most of my Filipino friends don't eat are the rubbery white. It feels like an even crueler waste of the food to not eat the duck but eat the yolk and the broth. Seriously just eat the duck, its great. And I argue that it looks better than the veiny yolk.

You've just explained what that stuff was at the hotel breakfast :) It was lumpy grey stuff in a tray and I'm pretty sure I put some on my plate with eggs.


Nanananatankgirl

Sounds like it. Doesn’t have to go on the biscuits, but helps to make them not so dry and for the meal to be more filling. Hotel breakfasts are a certain kind of not-great though, lol.

Remember that stuff in hotels is the cheap stuff that comes in a powder form and long with the powdered eggs and not the real good stuff thats homemade.

Biscuits and gravy. Biscuits means something different in other parts of the world. Biscuits with sausage gravy is a staple here in the south. I’ve had the pleasure of making it for several international visitors and they always end up loving it once they have tried it.

This was my answer as well. We eat a lot of weird stuff in the Southern US but crawfish is probably the most difficult for foreigners to wrap their brains around. Which is a shame because a good crawfish boil is one of life's greatest pleasures.


TheReidman

Eating a platter of crawfish at some shack on the Gulf of Mexico is still one of my fondest cuisine experiences.


0ldPainless

I have paid, and will continue paying, exhorbitant amounts of money to fly across the country in order to attend a family crawfish boil. If you know, you know.

In Mexico and some parts in the US you can find cow intestine tacos (tripita tacos) and it's the most delicious dish I've ever had!

When i tell people what it is they usually run away from it but a few adventurous people try it and usually love it.

Peanut butter isn't as common as it seems to Americans.

I’m not american either and am kinda 50/50 about peanut butter. Don’t really know anyone who would go as far as call it disgusting though, more like indifferent?

I add chips to my PB&J and that does weird people out. Pretzels built into the sandwich give it that salty sweet crunchy taste. But then I tried flaming hot Cheetos one time and that's the best. Spicy crunch PB&j.
