I wanna shop American week at a Lidl :(
t. American

>>19407977
>only 8% sugar
enjoy your fake American snacks!

>>19407979
They sell some very cool and unhealthy things.
Mexican and American week at Lidl are my favourite

>>19407985
>Tex mex mashed potatoes
Do Americans really?

>>19407983
You can always inject more caramel when you get home

Been living in the US the last fifteen years and idk where tf they got "chili cheese nuggets." Never heard of'em.
Surprised it's not tater tots or mac 'n cheese balls/nuggs.

>>19407988
we dont but we would if we thought to

>>19407993
Chili cheese nuggets are the best part of the snack box.

For me, it's XXL week

>>19407977
Those are things they sell in British takeaways usually run by Turks

>>19408005
Why?

>>19408013
But this way Turks stay a comfortable distance away from you.

>>19407977
I only check the lidl catalog because I'm waiting for them to list the parkside rapidfire again

>>19408014
The massive packs of sugar waffles.
I also find most of the American week stuff to be a bit shit.

>>19408020
Fucking based apparently their drills and impact drivers are legit too, I'd like an angle grinder by them

>>19408020
Physical catalog I hope. There's something special about it, can't get with the digital ones.

>>19408027
I only tend to get the frozen stuff like pic related.
Tried the sandwich sauce once and didn't like it.
The American mustard is so-so, it's just relish pickle juice in sauce form.

>>19408018
I tried those and they're shit.
Way too much bread for the topping you're getting. Also, it's just bread, not actually donut.

>>19407993
We call chili cheese nuggets "jalapeño poppers." I guess that sounds too Mexican and not American.

>>19408042
My catalog shows they got some new caramel filled donuts over in the baked goods section, can't find an image online, planing to get one.

>>19408035
I get them in my mailbox so yeah. Saves me having to remember to check them.

>>19407977
This must be what it's like to be Chinese and walk into a Panda Express. Personally, I'm amused.

I tried the beef one once and it was pretty good, but you can tell it's frozen.
>chicken and beef always sold out
>no one takes the veg ones

>>19408061
You need to go on the first day of the week, it's 2/3 raided on the second day.

Always chicken out on getting these, anyone tried them?

I swear we don't get half of this shit in bongland during American week. Must be a continental thing because we already get so much American stuff here as standard.

>>19408006
wtf it's like roundmeal except it exists

>>19408075
We don't always get everything either, some American weeks have greater selection than the others.

>>19408043
Well shit, it kinda makes sense to call them that. Still, >>19407977 don't look like any japaleenie poopers I've ever seen.

>>19408088
Out the box they're round and you can clearly see jalapeno pieces mixed in.

>>19408087
>BBQ marshmallows
>jelly beans
Isn't that just regular candy? Do Europeans not have that stuff normally?

>>19408102
>>19408087
When did we get Lidl in Italy? We didn't have any I knew of when I moved to the US 15 years ago.
Or is this in Switzerland?

>>19408108
I never saw a jelly bean until I moved to the US. And while we have marshmallows, they're not quite the same thing as American ones. Yours are much, much softer and also cylindrical.

>>19408102
>cookie/brownie flavored milk drink
I wish we had this in America. It sounds like liquid cake.

>>19408109
can't be Switzerland, the prices are in euro. It's definitely Italy

>>19408087
It's official, whine all you want, but Apple Pie is American.

>>19408087
Are those marshmallows supposed to be pre-toasted and they call them bbq?

>>19408119
Didn't even notice the prices. Yeah, it must be Italy, then.

>>19408109
>When did we get Lidl in Italy?
It's been here for ages, it just isn't as common as other stores.

>>19408108
Yes for the jelly beans I believe, not so sure for marshmellows, you'd need to go out of your way to look for them.
It's the "American style" theme. They sell peanut butter too, despite us already having a limited selection.

>>19408122
No. The writing under says "to toast over open fire, just like real Americans" so I would guess they come already impaled on sticks.

>>19408125
Gosh, there are even three in my hometown. I've been away too long.

>>19408118
What about these ice cream flavours?

>>19408102
>DUFF beer
KINO

>>19408137
Cookie dough and fudge are common, but I don't think I've ever seen banana-flavored ice cream.

Also, I just noticed that the cheetos in >>19408102 are peanut flavored. In America, they're almost universally "cheese" flavored.

>>19408137
While there are a few brands, banana ice cream is practically non-existent in the US. Which is sad as it's one of my favourite flavours.
I would guess it's like the brownies in >>19408102
In America, no one would put hazlenut in a brownie, preferring walnut, but in Italy, hazelnut is practically the default nut for everything so into the brownie it goes.
Is banana ice cream particularly popular in Czech Republic?

>>19408137
Cookie dough and brownie, yes
banana is a niche one, but if it's banana chocolate I totally would

>>19408150
Walgreens has their own brand of ice cream and the best one is the banana split version.

>>19408149
Peanut flavoured corn puffs are kinda popular in yurp (and Israel) but quite uncommon in the US. We think of it as "American" either way. Similarly, there's a type of iced coffee where I'm from, shakerato, that some of us think is American despite no American having any idea wtf it is.
It's also like how Americans think of fortune cookies as Chinese despite the fact that no one in China knows wtf they are (and that they're actually French/American).

>>19408153
I'm going to get so fat now. There are Walgreens locs both at the end of the next block from my house and my office.

The only good sauce there is the bbq. Tried both sandwich and burger sauce.
Burger sauce is kind of like mayo + chup + relish and sandwich is kind of like cheap tartar sauce.

>>19408162
>pork hot dogs
Miss this shit like you wouldn't believe. Pork hot dogs are super rare here and the one commonly available brand is really, really bad.

I love these, I eat them like candy

>>19408167
Really? Beef hotdogs is usually something you have to go to a butcher to get, while regular hotdogs is the most common.

How popular is yoghurt in America?

>>19408200

>>19408189
Well they usually pump those full of extra sugar, so they basically are candy. Tasty candy. Try some in a salad, with walnuts, and a cream dressing like blue cheese salad dressing.

>>19407988
this is not a thing
t. texoid

>>19408039
>American style
>with curry dip
when 90% of Americans, especially the ones who eat frozen tenders, have never tasted curry

>>19408200
it's very popular although I've never seen popcorn yogurt. there is chocolate and probably cranberry yogurt
flavors I've seen here are vanilla, orange, peach, and key lime pie

>>19408200
It is popular but I've never seen those flavors. Usually the flavors are vanilla, raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, or peach.

my haul from last time
usa #1

>>19407977
What the duck, chili cheese nuggets? I'm American and have never seen that until today. Now i want some

>>19408162

>Hot dogs in a jar

>>19407977
No fair, I'm an American and I've never seen chili cheese nuggers, are they good?

>>19408253
Probably better for you than in a plastic lined metal can tbqh

>>19408233
How many people did you fight to get the wrap?
Those are sold out so fast.

>>19408258
Absolute best part of the box.

>>19408259
what the fuck are you talking about in a metal can? I don’t think they’ve come in metal cans since the 40’s

>>19407977
There has never been a good frozen mozzarella stick or onion ring

>>19408253
Imagine drinking the water.

Recognise these chip flavours?

>>19408230
Looks like a zaxbys sauce

>>19408268
You have to deep fry them, not microwave. Before I started eating healthy, I would go to the restaurant supply store and buy industrial sized bags of frozen onion rings, mozzarella sticks, breaded mushrooms. french fries, and chicken tenders, then deep fry a bunch every morning for breakfast. I miss those days.

>>19408290
At that point though you might as well just bread your own stuff to fry

>>19407993
its faithful enough isnt it

>>19408039
That looks good.

>>19408267
Those disgusting vegetarian hotdogs come in a can as i recall, I have a cousin that eats that crap

>>19408273
I'm guessing chili chicken wing is just the euro translation of Buffalo wing flavor.
if that'd the case then yeah, those are good
Mac and cheese, never seen em

European interpretations of American food is so weird, wish we had more curry flavored stuff in burgerland.

>>19407977
>chili cheese nuggets
Like, fried chili cheese?? Europeans I kneel.

>>19407985
I'm gonna have to see if there is a recipe for Tex-Mex mashed potates, that sounds fucking good.

>>19408328
That is strange, here field roast comes in a normal hotdog package, actually its made to look like a fancy but still plastic hotdog package. Generally I would think vegetarian foods market themselves like fancy expensive health foods, not like poor people canned food.

They should export these American foods to America, I think some of them would be pretty popular.

>>19408200
Its good from a good brand, you don't just get any brand of yogurt though..

>>19408273
Not those flavors in particular, but novelty potato chip flavors (e.g. cheeseburger, lasagna) are common here.

>>19408360
Wish they'd bring back sausage and gravy.

>>19408340
Granted this was 10-15ish years ago before i started seeing a vegetarian section pop up in places like Publix, but they always had them, and even then I have no clue where you would find them.

what !! we have shitty balkan stuff at lidl at the moment

Is Aldi the same as Lidl, we have Aldi here, but not Lidl.

>>19408322
They're crunchy and really tender on the inside. I get them every time.

>>19408390
That sounds good, how is the dip?

>>19408386
no, those are different shops

>>19408005
our lidl in croatia sucks, especially meat. i was suprised when i saw how much better the quality is in slovenia and ireland

>>19408383
Get the baklava

>>19408392
Bit spicy and savoury with a touch of citrus aftertaste.

>>19408410
Yo that looks good, we don't really have most of those flavors here.

>>19407977
As an American I gotta say Chili Cheese nuggets sound based

>>19408468
Man that looks good, I fucking love steak fries.

>>19407977
If those are the chilii cheese nuggets I've had, they're terrible. Get actual plain nuggets.
>>19407993
i've sen them with the regular nuggets that come in that flat pack by the deli meat and prepackaged mashed potatoes.

>>19408469
Now you understand why I need to hold myself back from buying too much stuff during American and Mexico weeks.

>>19408479
Those chili chese nuggets blow nuggets out of the water. There should be a whole box dedicated to them.

>>19408488
Damn those would be really nice in a sandwich, provided they're boneless, though I guess you could fix that easy.

>>19408524
Just get you a xan of cream of mushroom soup and now you can make American green bean/broccoli casserole!

>>19408536
Man green bean casserole is so good.

>>19408006

im currently cooking my mckennedy double beef burger which i bought half an hour ago

>>19408253
we had those for dinner in the army every wednesday

>>19408233
i bought the burgers the dressings and the bbc sauce

>>19408589
Memphis fren here, would like to see how that pulled pork compares to here.

>>19408035
Always a highlight to look through the Aldi and Lidl catalouges.

>>19408074
yeah thhhe hot and spice one is good
but what iss that green stuff supposed to be

>>19408595
We have Hofer here too but the catalog doesn't have the soul. Idk why I find Lidl so soothing.

>>19407977
If chili nuggets are jalapeno poppers then that's pretty American

>>19407998

Legit delicious goyslop


Very close to real American food choices but sort of generic with no regional specialties

>>19408606
>goyslop

>>19408194
Yeah. Americans love beef, even when it's the objectively inferior option, such as in hot dogs or for barbecue. Don't @ me, Texas. I said what I said.

>>19408612
Memphis here, some how y'alls power grid is even shittier than ours.

>>19408606
Can't really blame em, typical yuro just knows about New York, the south and Texas.

>>19408589
they never bring these over here

>>19408088
In America they're generally whole peppers stuffed, breaded, and fried while in Europe they're more like finely chopped jalapeños mixed with cheese then breaded and fried. You do see the latter style sometimes in America though.

>>19408621
Probably because jack daniels does it here along with that red plastic bucket brand

>>19408615
Who's power grid? Texas'? Cuz I'm Euro and live in the NE US, so if that's what you mean, it's not my power grid fren.

>memphis
Only been to the one in Egypt as a tourist in Cairo. Been to Nashville, tho. Really liked it.

>>19408635
>Who's
Whose, rather. Fucking autocorrect.

I finally found them
Sweet potato fries
>inb4 gross processing
Don't care

>>19408635
Sorry about that, you said Texas and my brain assumed you were from Texas, forgive me, I've been hit in the head a lot.

>>19408612
If it isn’t beef it isn’t a hotdog, it’s a sausage

>>19408635
Texas power grid went down because they didn't design it to withstand a freak weather event involving freezing and ice, which is very rare in Texas. They are now working to fix it so it will withstand those events.


On the other hand California has been experiencing decades of rolling brownouts because their power grid has been intentionally criminally mismanaged by the corrupt politicians and corporations who are in bed with each other and run the state.

>>19408635
Memphis is shit, but the food here is pretty good sometimes, and the black folks are pretty chill for the most part. When that guy got merc'd by the cops everyone was trying to get them to riot, but it didn't work. Also our cops will just tear gas the fuck out of the blacks here.

>>19408652
Goddamn, imagine life if californians were online all the time. It’s bad enough already.

>>19408630
no im in greece lidl sells its own brand of prebaked gyro thats probably why but its like 17 euros/kg

>>19408652
If that were true there would be a proportionate amount if media coverage, wouldn't there? Sorry dawg I don't buy it

>>19407977

>>19408589
this is much better

in summary italian week mogs american week HARD

>>19408662
How are the Greek gyros, we have those here, but they're like beef and lamb mix with onions, tomato, lettuce, and tahini sauce.

>>19408666
It was big news back when it started happening. But its been happening so long, now it is just an accepted part of California dysfunction. That its been happening longer than a zoomer like yourself has been alive, is not my problem.

Now just imagine the same epically dysfunctional California power grid with everyone driving electric shit mobiles

>>19408668
>snack box

>Average
You must've gotten a bad batch or something, You need to fry the box.

>>19408640
you have no idea the amount of stupid shit,families that would scoff at the idea of buying anything with the statue of liberty on it, consume on a regular basis usually due to falling for the naming fallacy

i was at lidl 2 hours ago and some couple with two kids bought ready to bake spanakopitakia and loukanopitakia(literally explosive diarrhoea inducing) pariza(boloney), smoked turkey(boloney really) toast bread, cereal, random sauces margarine and god knows what else. i used to feel self conscious when going at the register with all that shit i had bought until i started noticing what others are buying, people in their 40s or even my parents age regardless of socioeconomic background. at least we consciously indulge in goyslop eating once in a while

>>19408612
>>19408651
Interesting. I love a good beef hotdog, but going to the butcher every time gets a bit expensive.
We also have american theme this week, but it doesn't seem we even have half the variety posted in this thread.

>>19408524
I pity everyone who can't buy this on a daily basis. It's basically a staple here in Denmark.

>>19408690
all the stuff that you just need to fry should be an easy win for LIDL but those are some of their worst products for some reason, at least during american week. it really doesn't make sense because it's so easy to get it right, especially fried chicken

>>19408697
You can buy those in burger land, I think French's makes them, the company not the "people".

>>19408697
>It's basically a staple here in Denmark.
what the hell do you use it for? I mean instead of just roasting some real onions on the side for a few minutes

>>19408693
>statue of liberty on packaging
>smugjack.exe
>Eiffel tower on packaging
>soijack.exe
Oh yeah I know those kinds of people.

>>19408672
it is made out of pork, just like in mexico, it was kosherized in the us and canada because jews would eat at those places and because many of those were owned by lebanese

>>19408715
I'll have to try it with pork then, it's really fucking good with beef and lamb mix though.

>>19408699
But I just had the strips and they're delicious.
I'm telling you man, you got a bad batch, it happens.

>>19408651
Nope.

>>19408648
lol
No worries.

>>19408652
Yeah, I'm aware of both of those facts. Fucking horrible. Back home, we'd get a black out for a few ours once or twice a year but in my time in the US, a decade of which has been in the Delaware/Pennsylvania/New Jersey area (I call it "DePaNj") I haven't had a single one that the electric company didn't tell me about ahead of time (five years ago, they went knocking door to door to let us know that the electricity would be down briefly while they updated some shit).

>>19408659
I've had Memphis-style barbecue. A bit sweet, but pretty good overall.

>>19408697
>Denmark
We used to drive up from Italy when I was a kid to go to Tivoli Gardens. Gardaland and even Edenlandia and other Italian parks are much closer, obviously, but there was something nice about driving up, despite how long it took. Fond memories. I fucks with pølser, btw. they're delicious. They're not ever beef, are they?

>>19408704
Clotting our cardiovascularsystem.

>>19408730
I wish they did that, here in Memphis they don't tell you shit, though they usually turn the power back on pretty quick, we had a tornado come through my part of town and only my part of town and it knocked out the power for three days, though in fairness to them, it fucked everything up, like one of those big metal power poles that are cemented into the ground was bent over like a Japanese man bowing.

>>19408730
>I fucks with pølser, btw. they're delicious. They're not ever beef, are they?
No, our hotdogs are usually made from pork.

>>19408730
>>19408740
Also, while they are great broiled, you should try cooking them in a proper brine:
Water (obviously)
Half a handful of hole black pepper
Two or three quartered onions
A couple tablespoons of vinegar
Get the water boiling with the ingredients, and turn of the heat once it starts boiling. Add sausages, and leave them there ~20 minutes.

>>19408730
The BBQ sauce makes or breaks it sometimes, if it isn't smoked it doesn't count. Like slow smoked for hours. If you're ever hear I'd ask for them to give you the sauce in a cup, the amount they decide is good might not be to your liking.

>>19408734
What all is on that, I think I'm gonna make that.

>>19408755
Rye bread (proper rye, not that jewish crap)
A thin layer of butter
Cured sausage
Remoulade (easy to make)
Fried onions

>>19408755
Looks like salami on dark rye with remoulade and crispy fried onions.
A Danish classic.

>>19408765
Man thanks, I'll have to make that. You can get all that stuff in burger land.

>>19408789
Many thanks*

Is it worth going to Lidl just for this glorious Amerislop? I hate going to Lidl, despite the fact I wear their meme colorful shoes often.

>>19408805
why is that?

>>19408817
Post that chonky boi

>>19408789
Velbekomme, but be careful, it's a gateway drug into the world of smørrebrød.

>>19408805
>hates going to Lidl
????
Like Anons say here, there's some good stuff.

>>19407977
I find these euro takes on American food interesting. But also I feel bad that they change some of them from true American version and you don't get the full experience of eating American junk food.

Does your local Lidl play burger music too during America Week?

Ours had a small parade outside the shop, they had a big statue of liberty with a burger hat on and sparklers going off being pulled around while people waved American flags and shot fake M16 assault rifles at bystanders and cars

>>19408830
They just play it safe like with the curry sauce.

>>19408006
i make bacon wrapped meatloaf for thanksgiving
that shit always gets eaten before anyone goes for turkey

>>19408830
It's basically like that with all theme sales. It's like a culinary parody.
>>19408836
I want to believe that.

>>19408836
Yo that sounds fucking fun.

>>19408836
>his Lidl has crisis actors
Jealous

>>19408805
lidl is worth visiting once in a while, they have good products but also crap products, you really need to find out what is good, the low prices along with good quality for some items really makes it worth the trip

>>19408818
its a girl

>>19408845
Cute cato, mine is a big orange male cat, he was a stray as a kitten but he's had all his shots and he's about two and half feet long and legit weighs 11.5 pounds without being even remotely fat.

>>19408233
The most American part of this is the consumerism

>>19408852
post pic

>>19408805
no. italian week is really worth it for the italiamo 36 month parmigiano, pecorino and grana padano. all 3 are better than anything you can get a grocery store. the buffalo mozzarella is great too. just avoid air dried ham and shit like that. huge waste of money as everything that is smoked is vastly superior in flavor

>everything is some combination of barbeque, cheese, chili, and corn

>>19408861
Will do so when he shows up, he goes outside to do cat stuff and shows up when he feels like.

>>19408233
Wow, so much authentic American food for so few Euros. Lidl is Germany's greatest invention. I plan on visiting Lidl myself and sending a Tikkie to my roommates to split the cost.

Are the pizzas any good?

I love America week. I walk into Lidl in the morning as they open, take a deep breath, wake up and smell the freedom.
On all levels except physical I am American this week. Fuck yeah!

>>19408922
wagner supreme "big city" pizza is better

>>19408922
There is one rule with Lidl pizza, never get the cooled one. Always go for the frozen.
My fav frozen pizza is from Eurospin though.

Not really related to Lidl, but the Walmart own generic pizzas are actually pretty good.

>>19408738
>bent over like a Japanese man bowing.
lol
At first, I read that as "Japanese man bowLing" and just imagined a frail old Nipnong trying to lift a bowling ball alla Mr Burns.
But yeah, when I heard about grid problems elsewhere in the US, I was surprised af because it's so good here and that's when I read that your grid here is heavily segmented and kept up by local municipalities. I'd have thought that would have been federal, but I guess not.

And yeah, we don't really get tornados here. There've been two my entire time here and neither caused any substantial damage. One guy I know from Kansas who also lives in the area said that they were barely even gusts of wind and we don't know what a /real/ tornado is here. Still, can't blame them for not giving you the heads up. Not like they knew ahead of time the tornado would fuck shit up.

>>19408740
Thought as much. That's why I liked them. Hot dogs in Italy are pork or, more rarely, fowl (for muzzies and yehudim).

>>19408752
Sounds good. I do a similar thing for homemade emulsified sausages (basically hot dogs, but not smoked yet) to set the meat before I put them in my smoker (beech, preferably) to cold smoke.

>>19408753
I was getting in confused for KC barbecue. Memphis is the one with the rub, right? That shit is always good. KC was the one that can be too sweet sometimes. No bully, but I like Carolina. The vinegar is more to my taste.

>>19408836
No, but for Greek week, all the workers stink and change their nametags to Stavros. They also complain about Turks, drive taxis around the store continuously and smoke too much.

>>19408006
>slow cooked
>it's fucking raw

>>19408976

All close enough. Corn dogs are carnival food that is served on a stick.

>>19408970
Ain't no hate, and yeah Memphis is dry rub, it's really nice, it's usually good and savory paired with sweet sometimes vinegar sauce. I wasn't worried about them warning us, it's more if they were gonna fuck with like the wires or anything they'd say something first. But they usually are pretty quick fixing stuff.

>>19408970
Also to add to that, if you get BBQ in Memphis the place being nicer doesn't mean the BBQ is better, it just means yuppies are making it instead of like rednecks or old blacks.

>>19409022
>BBQ in Memphis the place being nicer doesn't mean the BBQ is better, it just means yuppies are making it instead of like rednecks or old blacks.
lol
That's everywhere, isn't it? Q joint closest my house is owned and operated by some hipster yuppies who didn't get the memo that the hipster fad has long been dead. And how tf is it even a barbecue restaurant if I can't smell that shit from, like, a mile away? The place is pretty, neat and tidy but the "barbecue" is meh (and expensive).
The one I like is far from me, but you can smell it from the fucking highway before you can even see it. Sure enough, it's owned by an old fat black southern guy (who I think is from Memphis, actually; gotta ask him next time I go there).
The seating and shit are basically like eating in a cafeteria with long picnic-like tables with red plastic tarps on them and it's as far from tidy as you can get without being outright unsanitary.

I'm a fucking Yuro and even I can tell the "nicer" one (never feel comfortable in that place, so it's not actually"nice" IMO) is just some bullshit meant to repackage subpar Q in a prettier box to upsell it to people who are afraid to leave the city.

>>19408838

I think that's 100% German invention that's Lidl spreads around the world

Funnily enough, I witnessed some couple commenting how weird that is, but then they picket that up because "let's try authentic american hotdogs"
Normal people genuinely think this shit is what Americans eat all the time

WHY THE FUCK
would i buy a piece of American plastic
https://www.lidl.nl/p/stuk-cheddar/p176237

when we have the best cheese in the world for 10euro/kg on the market

>>19408200
It's popular, most grocery stores have a fairly large section dedicated to yogurt. What's funny is growing up all the yogurt I ever saw was like Yoplait, this runny almost drinkable consistency yogurt. Then Americans discovered Greek yogurt and Icelandic skyr and practically overnight it replaced that crappy runny yogurt everyone ate for ages. You can still get it, but it's like a third of the section now and mostly marketed to kids because it's really sweet.

>>19409203
Enjoy your unauthentic burger with unmeltable cheese

>>19408817
>>19408827
General chaos in product placement, mostly.
I also have Auchan which is cheaper just a block further. But the biggest reason I stopped going there is because they got rid of regular cashiers in favor of retarded self checkouts that make buying anything more than $5 worth of groceries a nightmare.
Still the best selection of baked goods, though. Miss the times when my entire school just swarmed the Lidl across the street every breaktime.

American (Texas, specifically) here:

>>19407977
>Chilli Cheese Nuggets
They're more commonly called jalapeño poppers here, and there are a few variations: whole jalapeños or chopped jalapeños, and cheese filling or cream cheese filling. Personally, my favorite is whole jalapeños with cream cheese filling.

>Spicy Chilli Dip
I see this occasionally (often as "Thai Sweet Chili Sauce" or something similar), but more common is ranch for jalapeño poppers, marinara or ranch for mozzarella sticks, and often a horseradish-based sauce for onion rings (like Burger King's "Zesty" sauce or Outback's "Bloomin' Onion" sauce).

>>19407985
>Noodles Barbeque
I've had brisket mac (mac and cheese plus smoked brisket) and chili mac (mac and cheese plus chili con carne (no beans, btw)), but I don't think I've seen anything that looks quite like that. Also, we don't put corn in near as many things as Europeans seem to think we do.

>Mashed Potatoes Tex Mex
I've had loaded mashed potatoes (essentially mashed potatoes with baked potato toppings) before, but I've never seen anything like this.

>>19407998
This is legit, seasoned nuts are pretty common here.

>>19408018
The texture doesn't look right on those "donuts" at all, they just look like regular bread in a ring shape.

>>19408035
We usually eat corn dogs with mustard; also, they're traditionally served on a stick.

>>19408044
Curly fries are delicious, good choice. It's worth noting that "curly fries" in the US aren't just cut differently, they traditionally have their own special seasoning.

>>19408067
That looks a lot like a Snickers ice cream, good choice.

>>19409420
Continued:

>>19408102
>Bevanda stile americano
>Milk Drink
We have chocolate milk and strawberry milk, as well as Yoo-hoo (which tastes kind of like chocolate milk, but doesn't have any milk in it), but I haven't seen cookie or brownie flavors. Some coffee drinks might have flavors like that occasionally. I did have a Twinkie-flavored coffee drink once; it was actually pretty good.

>Popcorn caramellati
The traditional movie theater popcorn is served fresh and buttered, but caramel-glazed (as well as chocolate-covered) popcorn is commonly sold in stores.

>Snack a base di mais e arachidi
I've never seen peanut flavor before, these are almost always coated with cheese powder (like Cheetos), but Buc-ee's sells Beaver Nuggets, which are a sweet-glazed version.

>>19408162
>Cetrioli a fette in agrodolce
These sound similar to bread and butter pickles.

>Condimento per insalate
I cant read the names of the flavors there, but the most common salad dressings here are probably ranch, Italian, Thousand Island, and blue cheese.

>>19408172
A proper milkshake is made with milk and ice cream; I don't think you'd get the right texture from a bottled drink.

>>19408200
Yogurt is pretty popular; aside from vanilla, the most common flavorings are fruits. There are some brands like Chobani Flip that have a wider variety of mix-ins like chocolate chips and pretzel pieces.

>>19408253
Maybe a bit weird, but not really that different from being vacuum-packed in their own juices as they are in the US.

>>19408524
These are good; they're pretty common as a casserole topping.

>>19408640
These are also good; they're most often done as a sweet and salty thing, but I had some once that were dusted with cinnamon and tasted a lot like churros.

>>19408922
These are pizzas that are actually common in the US, not like those corn pizzas that Europeans think we eat for some reason.

>>19407985
>Hergestellt in Deutschland
Ah yes, very American! Yeehaw, Hans!

>>19408233
>usa #1

>>19408233
>Teacakes
Not sure if they call those teacakes in the US. But we do in Britain.

t. Brit.

>>19409561
we don't. also i have never seen or heard of a chili cheese "nugget" in my life but i would eat it.

Please bring these back, they were great.

I'm a Brit and I shop at Lidl, but I've never bought any of these "McEnnedy" products. I think I've only ever some crisps with this brand in the discount section.

I buy Lidl's regular own brands, like Snaktastic crisps.

>>19408524
These, some mustard and BBQ sauce on a hot dog are amazing

>>19407977
My usual rant:
If you're gonna make or buy American food, it better be authentic. That goes all the way back to the movie Barcelona (1994) where someone says people in Europe make shit burgers, then they eat their shit burgers and think Americans are dumb for liking burgers.

Also that stuff looks like shit

>>19407977
What the fuck is a chili cheese nugget


T. American

>>19408591
They're okay, and honestly pretty good as an easy meal but if you're comparing them to proper BBQ'd pork they're nowhere close

>>19408233
>Sandwich sauce

What is that? Looks like Ketchup but it feels like it was they'd just call it that

do europeans eat smoked ribs or pulled pork? it seems like it could be done anywhere. id invite my euro /ck/ buds over for a bbq next weekend if i could

>>19409642
I think about going to Europe and making things like biscuits and gravy and real BBQ for my friends just so they know how it tastes. But... I don't like to travel and have no friends.

>>19409622
It says what it is retard. A nugget filled with chili and cheese. Duh.

>>19408838
looks really good

why are you guys eating this dogshit when you could just cook real food?

>>19408838
>for thanksgiving
how edgy of you, my lord

>>19408269
Theres a german barracks drinking game where you do exactly that and try not to puke I have been told

>>19409642
I can get stuff like that in restaurants in the UK. The ribs probably won't be smoked in a proper smoker though. Pulled pork has gotten popular though. I think you can get pulled pork sandwiches in Tesco (our equivalent of Walmart).

>>19409642
It is to some degree in UK and northern Yurp. Southern, Eastern, Western and Central couldn't really give a toss except for as a novelty every now and again. BBQ pulled pork (or chicken) pizza was popular in Italy for a hot minute, for example.

>>19409786
>Tesco
Asda is literally Walmart, tho.

>>19409697
>Why do people eat cake for dessert when they could just have more vegetables instead?

>>19407977
You know what the really sad part of this thread is? The main thing that gives this stuff away as not being American is the quality, as actual American frozen food is way more fake and plastic than this.

>>19409879
Troof.

>>19407977
Best chips to have ever been invented are sold during the mutt week

>>19407977
I don't think I will get anything this time, things are too expensive now.

>>19408821
I was able to find some of that Danish crispbread you all put the toppings on at my local grocery. Gotta say, that's a hell of a cracker. Doesn't get soggy no matter how long you leave stuff on it and rarely breaks under the weight of ingredients. Tasted pretty good too. Cheers Danish anon.
t. American

>>19408233
We don’t have tea cakes and we don’t have flips

>>19408468
>corn coated
I mean I can see why they would think that, but we don’t ACTUALLY coat every single foodstuff in corn

>>19408734
I think putting crispy fried onions on a hot dog is denmarks greatest invention. If Americans ever find out about it, I bet it would spread like wildfire. It’s just so good, I have no idea why hot dogs aren’t always eaten that way.

>>19409927
I don’t think it’s crisp bread. I think it’s dark rye bread. I think the best dark rye comes from Lithuania.

>>19409972
im a mutt and i enjoy putting fried onions on my dog with cheese, bbq sauce, and pickled jalapenos, I call it the rodeo dog. yee haw

>>19409972
Yeah, we have rodeo dogs like that guy said, they're pretty good.

>>19409958
Why not?

>>19409642
Pulled pork is easy to get now, but I only tried it for the first time less than a decade ago.

t. Slovenian

>>19409985
>>19409986
I guess rodeo dogs are more common in the south or wherever that originated. Haven’t seen that around my neck of the woods

>>19408137
the banana one seems to be a copy of of Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey. It's not a common flavor, B&J are really the only ones to make it

>>19410032
I have no idea where they came from, my guess would be Texas, but they could be byproduct of someone having too much of those ingredients and going, "Fuck it call it a rodeo dog".

>>19409834
Not anymore. Walmart sold it. They might still have a small stake I think. But it's mostly owned by two British brothers, and also some investment bank has a stake I think.

Also the reason I compare Tesco to Walmart is that each is the market leader in their respective countries.

>>19410058
I've heard of things called a, "Tesco meal deal", is that any good?

>>19410079
It's a premade sandwich, a packet of crisps and a drink for around £3.50 or so, they're mainly eaten by office workers who can't be arsed to pack something themselves.

>>19410146
That's pretty good, the deli near my house does that for about 7 bucks.

>>19410148
The deli is probably nicer, also which state?

>>19409420
>>19409435
these threads are a joke dude. you're not supposed to do this

>>19410157
Tennessee, and it's pretty nice, it's usually like a turkey or ham sandwich with some decent cheddar cheese, some name brand chips, and like a mini can of soda. Also usually a moon pie or something

>>19410166

Probably should have cut that over the mashed potatoes, it would absorb the juices and probably taste pretty good.

>>19408697
I always have Winco brand crispy fried onions in the house here in America.
>>19409972
Yes, they are very good on hotdogs. I put them on a lot of things, including macaroni and cheese, Asian noodle dishes, fried rice, etc.
They are too fucking good on too many things.

>>19410230
Oh shit I never thought to put those on Mac and Cheese, I'll have to try that.

>>19410058
Nah, Walmart still owns Asda, it's just not branded as being part of Walmart anymore.

>>19410233
Chili is another one. A lot of people do oyster crackers. I do crispy fried onions.
They're basically good on anything that benefits from a little crunch and is compatible with the flavor of onion.

>>19410233
>I never thought
well duh you're here

>>19410242
You're here too, dummy.

>>19408821
Do y'all eat the lemon like that, rind and all, or do y'all squeeze the juice onto the rest?

>>19410241
I should make homemade chili at some point, but Wolf chili and some extra mexican cheese goes pretty hard on Macaroni.

>>19410247
Correct, to make fun of you. Faggot.

>>19408035
>what is a corn dog?
Fuck around and find out

>>19410260
Sure dawg, you're here because you're every bit as retarded as I am. Don't worry, you're in good company.

>>19410273
I'm not. Don't rope me in to your stupid loser fuckness you fat piece of shit.

>>19410288
Yes you are

>>19410270
I did. Your limp dicked dad didn't deliver.

>>19410304
Repeat it over and over again it just might, maybe, come true.

>>19410313
It is true, you wouldn't be here if it wasn't.

>>19410079
It's like this guy described: >>19410146

And basically all British supermarkets do these deals.

>>19410217
Disgusting.

>>19410237
No, you're wrong. It's literally exactly as I stated. Why are you so thick?

https://corporate.walmart.com/newsroom/2021/02/16/issa-brothers-and-tdr-capital-complete-the-acquisition-of-asda-from-walmart

>>19410368
I've heard that the Tesco sandwiches are surprisingly decent, so that sounds good honestly.

>>19410372
They're not but you can get a chocolate bar and a fancy smoothie drink that often cost 2.50 by themselves so the sandwich is almost free

>>19410390
That's a shame. I'd probably still enjoy it, I've got pretty low standards. Plus anything tastes decent with some ketchup.

>>19410368
>Why are you so thick?
Not my fault you can't handle my 20cm girth, faggot. Stop having such a sexy backside.

Is a catalog just what you guys call the mailer advertisement?

Try as you might, you will never be worse than the Japanese

>>19410487
Lol Americans seem to be buying it.

>>19410459
No, their is a legit catalogue. Even Lidl in America has one. Safeway does, too. Idk if Aldi does, but it wouldn't surprise me.

>>19410495
I've never fucking seen that anywhere. If that's real I would try it.

>>19410217
So, how did it taste? Looks like a cheap pork kiev.

>>19410487
Honestly, I'd try it. I tried their pumpkin spice ramen, and I actually liked it.

>>19410545
That looks gross, but I'd try it.

>>19408035
>no stick
That's just a hot dog in cornbread

>>19409870
I have nothing against cake or "unhealthy" food in moderation. But this plastic bullshit just makes me depressed. Aldi has nice produce and its summer, you have access to tasty fresh produce, you can cook so much better food than this shit for cheaper. Make "unhealthy" food (real burgers, sandwiches, fries whatever) if you must but not this prepackaged pre-chewed bullshit. Ingredients for "american" food is widely available in the EU, so I honestly dont understand the point of this "american week" or whatever
like what the fuck is this shit for example >>19410217
how do you eat this and not throw up?

McEnnedy range is trash 2bh. their crisps/snacks are godawful even when drunk/hungover and their pizzas are literally the worst of any I've got from anywhere
>not even an anti-American OBSESSED post as I'm certain they're not even made in America

>>19411395
I chew the food and then swallow. Just let people have their fun.

>>19410459
Like a lil newspaper, but for stores displaying products. Sometimes they add recipes you can try with their products.

The Mcenndy ribbed buffalo chips are good. Never tried the pizzas. Best frozen pizza is in Eurospin.

LMAO, WHAT?? Seriously, lol?
>Duff Beer UG applied for an EU Community Trade Mark (CTM) in 2009, which was opposed by Twentieth Century Fox.[23] In 2011 the Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market decided in favour of Fox, and in 2012 Duff Beer UG appealed to the European Court of Justice (ECJ).[24]
>Twentieth Century Fox had itself been granted a CTM for the logo "Duff BEER" for use in several categories of non-beer merchandise.[25] Fox had applied for the CTM in 1999, but opposition from the makers of "Mac Duff's"-branded wine and spirits delayed the grant till 2006.[25] Fox's CTM was cancelled by the OHIM in 2011,[25] following a 2010 ruling by the Brussels Commercial Court that a "Beer" logo applied exclusively to non-beer merchandise was misleading.[26]
>In 2014, Duff Beer UG's CTM was transferred to Fox, and the ECJ case was withdrawn.[2][27][28] There was also a German trademark registered in 1999 to Duff Beverage GmbH, creating what one lawyer in 2015 called a "very complex situation".[2]

>>19411463
Would you buy it?

>>19411468
I like the simpsons enough, I'd probably try one

>>19408162
Burger sauce sounds like it's Big Mac sauce, which is only at McDonald's and specifically only on the Big Mac. They recently did a promotion where you could get it on the side which was very unusual. It's not something common in stores, though I think some copycats are finally starting to just roll out, 50 years after the sandwich first got introduced.

>>19410217
I think you are supposed to eat it like a bread bowl.

no

Can confirm, it's the real deal

>>19411515
other nut butters exist. I can't imagine where some of you fuckers live, most of what's mentioned in this thread is available in several UK supermarkets all the time yet people are going on like fucking Marco Polo has just sailed into port with a ship full of exotic rarities kek. That's not to mention that Lidl's 'McEnnedy's' brand is absolute shit-tier food that nobody who isn't living on social security benefits should even be thinking about buying.

>>19408148
I prefer imports

>>19411538
Ignore this bong why is he even speaking on this
>>19411515
No this isn't common. We have chunky and creamy peanut butters and Nutella. Anything else may be something you can buy but it's niche.

>>19411482
Sir Kensington has one but it tasted nothing like big Mac sauce, actually worse, so I just threw it out, probably closer just using straight up thousand island

>>19411506
I think it's German, we call it country fried steak here.

>>19411954
Schnitzel is Austrian, however they don't use filling. The French have Cordon Blue which is stuffed with ham and cheese.
Probably just mixed all the ideas together.

>>19408640
But they have sweet potato fries all the time

>>19409587
let me guess, they are like pringles but a lot harder/firmer and lacking taste.

>>19412195
I didn't know I'd like it until I randomly bought some. Also I think those are sweeter.

>>19411515
Yes but in health stores you can get other types of nut butter they cost a lot. Pistachio butter is fucking so good so is cashew butter I like to use cashew butter with chicken.
