American cuisine is incredibly diverse, reflecting the country’s melting pot of cultures. Here are descriptions of some classic American foods:
1. **Hamburger**: A ground beef patty, grilled or fried, served on a bun with various toppings such as lettuce, tomato, cheese, pickles, onions, and condiments like ketchup and mustard. It's an iconic American dish known for its versatility.
2. **Fried Chicken**: Chicken pieces, usually drumsticks, wings, or thighs, coated in seasoned flour or batter and deep-fried until golden and crispy. It's juicy on the inside and crunchy on the outside.
3. **Barbecue Ribs**: Pork or beef ribs slow-cooked until tender and slathered in a smoky, sweet, and tangy barbecue sauce. Popular in the Southern U.S., especially in places like Texas and Kansas City.
4. **Macaroni and Cheese**: A comfort food favorite, this dish consists of macaroni pasta baked in a creamy cheese sauce, often topped with breadcrumbs and baked until golden and bubbly.
5. **Hot Dog**: A grilled or steamed sausage, typically made from beef or pork, served in a soft bun. Common toppings include mustard, ketchup, relish, onions, and sauerkraut.
6. **Apple Pie**: A classic American

00:08In 2019, Papa John's released a pizza in South Korea known as the American Pizza.
00:16So one of the pizzas in front of you is the exact recreation of that American pizza.
00:21The other pizza is just a mythical kitchen concoction, and you're trying to see if you can find the real thing.
00:28This is a country fried steak.
00:30Oh, it's country fried steak. You're right.
00:32There's sausage in the pizza and gravy part.
00:36It's that authentic sausage gravy.
00:39This looks like hot dog, but what's that big slab? Is that a slab of cheese?
00:44Is that like a string cheese?
00:46It's mashed taters.
00:48Hot dog, some sort of weird, bright mustard.
00:55I thought I was gonna get a melted string cheese in my mouth, and I got mashed potatoes.
00:59Three, two, one.
01:01It's gotta be this, right?
01:03This is too authentic.
01:04This seems too obvious.
01:06You're both right, but let's see an image from their Instagram to see just how close you got.
01:10You guys did great.
01:11Grocery stores in Finland carry a jar of Hellman's mayo, boldly labeled as American size.
01:21Look at how freaking big this is. What would you do with this much mayo?
01:24Could you stick your whole head in there?
01:26I think I know which one is American.
01:30Three, two, one.
01:32I think this one, the Biggie Biggie. That's normal.
01:36This is why I'm choosing this one.
01:38But I am American.
01:40I think that this is normal for Americans, and so I'm just guessing that maybe this is...
01:45Can I change my answer?
01:46No. You might be right. It's one of these two.
01:49Let's take a look.
01:51American size, 50% more with the red stripe.
01:54They would flip a lid if they saw this thing.
01:56Restaurants in Thailand, as I like to say, offer American-style dishes that might surprise you.
02:03Well, this one is a Thanksgiving dinner, Link.
02:05There's gravy around the outside.
02:07This doesn't taste good to me.
02:08No, it's not.
02:09What is wrong with that?
02:11But this has fried chicken on top of raisins.
02:15And there's like hot dog pieces.
02:17Oh, look at what they did with the hot dogs.
02:20This suits my American palate more.
02:22But I'm just wondering if I'm supposed to follow the wiener.
02:25Three, two, one.
02:27I'm following the wiener.
02:29And I am going out on a limb here.
02:31The correct dish is in front of Link.
02:34Oh, yep. See, there it is.
02:37If you're in Sweden, which of these three groupings of uniquely USA-made products
02:44have their own exhibit in the Disgusting Food Museum?
02:48This is deep-fried butter.
02:50Now, this is also something that you're gonna wanna see.
02:52Fritos.
02:53Not just Fritos.
02:56Oh, this is a Frito pie.
02:58It's a Frito pie.
03:00Yes.
03:01Red pickles?
03:02Is this a thing here?
03:04I think they're Kool-Aid. Aren't they Kool-Aid pickles?
03:07Oh, wow. They've been remade for Kool-Aid.
03:09These American boys are having more fun over here.
03:11Because over here, you just got A&W, Twinkies, and Pop-Tarts.
03:14And then you got...
03:16In a Disgusting Museum?
03:18For Loco.
03:19Good gosh, this thing has 14% alcohol by volume.
03:22Have they gone sensational, or have they gone accurate?
03:25That's the question.
03:26Three, two, one.
03:28I think they've gone basic.
03:29I think they went sensational. Make it worth coming in.
03:32The food that's in the Disgusting Food Museum is in front of Link.
03:37Yes.
03:38Iconic American soft drink traditionally made with carcinogenic sassafras roots.
03:43That's what it says.
03:44Oh, well, come on, hey!
03:46Whoa, now.
03:47We can only take so much shade, sweetie.
03:49Is that what's happening?
03:50In the Netherlands, there is a popular American sauce sold on shelves
03:55and marketed as a compliment to one specific food item.
04:00I'm dipping, which I don't know if that's how you would do it.
04:04That's how I'm gonna do it.
04:05What's that sauce like?
04:07Is it mustardy?
04:08I'd say mayonnaise and mustard mixed together.
04:11With flecks of something.
04:12Like a dill?
04:13I know that they love to dip their fries in mayonnaise
04:18because you watched Pulp Fiction.
04:20No, because I've been there.
04:22This is a fun little endeavor.
04:24So if they put mayonnaise on french fries and then they added dill and mustard to it,
04:28would they call it American?
04:30First of all, that's an amazing jigging leg.
04:32In three, two, one.
04:34Ew.
04:35Why you going with the burger?
04:36Because the fry is...
04:37The fry seems too obvious to me.
04:39It's gotta be one of these two.
04:40I don't think it's the chicken.
04:41Ironically, I like this one the best.
04:43The American sauce bottle.
04:44It's french fries.
04:46Mad sauce?
04:47Mad sauce.
04:49De originelli.
04:51Each image will have the same item blacked out
04:54and you must guess what that one American food common denominator is.
04:59Okay.
05:00So we're gonna start with a UK grocery store
05:04and you'll find the mystery item next to the Jif peanut butter.
05:08I see that, okay.
05:09Next, we have two French grocery stores
05:13and you'll find the mystery item beside the Skippy peanut butter in the first
05:17and the syrup in the second.
05:19Over to Amsterdam.
05:21Mystery item is sandwiched between the red velvet cupcake mix
05:25and the Hungry Jack pancake mix.
05:27What is happening?
05:28And lastly, we have a Spanish grocery store
05:31and the item is on the second shelf next to what looks like cake frosting.
05:35Yeah, we got frosting.
05:36Dang, I was kind of moving towards frosting.
05:38Chocolate syrup underneath.
05:40I said marshmallows.
05:41I said Doritos.
05:43Okay, the answer's under the cloche.
05:47Oh!
05:49Jet fluff!
05:50Marshmallow cream!
05:52Marshmallow fluff!
05:53Marshmallows!
05:54You clearly won, which means you won the whole thing.
05:57Yeah, Rhett, you did good, man.
05:59Did you get the prize?
06:02Well, you're gonna be set for a couple of months.
06:04It's just a...
06:08Boy, so much could go wrong right now.
06:13That burst, man.
06:14I'll see you at the park!
