[Sca-cooks] OOP - Weird American food?

And just to try to bring this hopelessly out of period discussion back
around again (note the Subject line change), very often the descriptions we
have of many early period cultures were made by a traveler that wrote in his
journal.  The 'weirdnesses' are often the cultural bias of the observer and
chronicler.

Americans will batter and fry ANYTHING!!
Dill pickle slices . . . Oreo cookies . . . candy bars . . . corn on the cob
. . . cream Style Corn fritters
. . . PIZZA SLICES?!?!?!?!? . . . brownies . . . cheesecake

Rhubarb pies (without strawberries)
Anything on "Chinese" restaurant menues
Hoppin' John
Chitterlings
BBQ pulled pork sandwich with cole slaw atop
Fried Green Tomatoes
Cheeseburger with a Krispy Kreme Donut as a bun!!
frozen Dairy Treat (Dairy Queen)
BBQ Spaghetti (see Memphis, TN)



These came to mind quickly.  Not saying they're nasty, just very American.
