You won the thesis of popular American food combinations in France.
Compared to the French, Americans are not exactly known for their culinary skill. I have the feeling that this list of somewhat questionable food combos is not working in our favor …
Here are some American food pairings that the French can find rare, apples or simply unexpected.
The sweet and salty
Americans have a special love for a sweet and tasty match. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack … We can make it work at any meal. In France, there are sweet and salty combos (hello, Caramelo Beurre Salé 🤤), but it is more common to keep these flavor profiles separately.
Peanut butter and gelatin: What American child has grown up enjoying a peanut butter sandwich from time to time? The peanut butter sampling is already a great question for a French person, so I am not sure that I accept it with a globa or jelly at the top. Most French have heard of this famous movie sandwich, thought! Do we dare to mention the delicious cousin combo or peanut butter and banana?
Chicken and gofres: My mouth is watering imagining a large crunchy fried chicken plate on a fresh gofre, all covered with Arce syrup. The French are just coming to the idea of Brunch, but they could get a heart attack looking at this mountain of food that drips into liquid sugar.
Apple cake with cheddar cheese: To be honest, this combo is mythical for me, but I hear that they do it in the west. In France, cheese is firmly established as a separate course from dessert.
French fries: Chico, was excited to take Jonathan to Wendy’s. Without hesitation, he heard a fried choice directly in that ice cream and loved it. It is always a good sport to try American meals. You can find milkshakes in France, only in some fast food restaurants, but it is unlikely to see someone voluntarily immersed their fries.
The Ultra Dulce
Nothing says the United States how to add more sugar to the mixture, Amiright? There are many sweets in France. However, on the sugary scale, France tends to be a bit more moderate.
Sweet potato bag: Yes, we cover that sweet potato puree with small marshmallows! It can be a classic thanksgiving for Americans, but it is unlikely that a French person will consult Malviscos reasonable coverage for a dish served in a salty meal. In France, Malvisques are in the sweet hall.
S’Mores: If you get the camp and you didn’t have s’mores, did you even camp? The French definitely have nothing against a good chocolate and marshty pairing if the Petit o course In the sweet hall there is an indication. We need to find a replacement for Graham Crackers’s outbreaks cannot be found in France (apart from imports), but I think this could be a success.
Root beer fleet: A tablespoon of vanilla ice cream in soft drinks (my preference is for Coca -Cola) takes me to an afternoon in the kitchen of my childhood’s best friend. Root beer is the usual option of this mixture in the United States, Althegh, can be found in France these days, is far from conventional. Putting ice cream in soft drinks? Unheard of or.
The classics
Roasted cheese with tomato soup: This is a comforting meal for me. With a similar cheese sandwich in existence in France (Croque monsieur) And a large number of creamy vegetable soups in the market, this is not a combination of impressive food. And it is one that I think the French could support. (Yes, or of course, it has the approval seal of Jonathan).
Milk with dinner: Special in families with young children, a glass of milk is served with dinner in the United States. This is not the case in France, where water (or wine!) It is the drink of choice.
Rancho dressing pizza
I think we can all agree that Rancho dressing pizza It is in your own category. A dodge importance, the ranch is not easily found in French supermarkets. The French are certainly not alone in scratching their heads why we are spraying this sauce in our pizza. They probably do not find it as offensive as the Italians, he thought. (It’s a good thought, right? 🤭)
