Well… as a not-American who has never actually been to American I can only base this on what I see in movies and commercials and stuff and what my friends have told me. But it seems like… American food is pretty fat and like, greasy? Not very healthy? I'm guessing that not every part of America has this kind of food and that it might only be the common picture of it though. And… hotdogs and hamburgers. I mean, they are good but they don't really taste that much? And you can get tired of them pretty easily. I just gotta say though. KFC. Kentucky Fried freaking Chicken. That stuff is like, divine. There's only 8 KFC restaurants in Sweden and one just recently opened close to where I live. I love that shit. But back to the subject . When my friends came back from America they told me that it was pretty much impossible to find a restaurant that served sallads that were not completely covered in unhealthy dressing and stuff. And a couple of days ago I talked to some Americans on the forum about what they had for breakfast. They said like, Nutella stuff and buns. That is so different from what we have for breakfast in Sweden. My common breakfast would be a slice of traditional Swedish crispbread with butter and a cheese slice (also do you guys have cheeseslicers in America? Cause my mom used to work at a store that sold those and she said that the americans didn't even know what theyr were) and then a glas of milk to go with that. I know a lot of Swedes have oatmeal for breakfast too. Also my friends told me that the portions in America were huge. As I said earlier, this might just be the common picture of it and I have never actually been there.

(Also I gotta defend the fish soup cause my mom makes a hella good fish soup)

Guys I just realized that my aikido-trainer looks like a freaking anime character

  1. I'm American, and that's pretty accurate. Also, my mom used to have a cheese slicer, but it broke and we haven't seen another one.
  2. I think you and my brother would get along :)
  3. That's amazing!

Come to the dark side. We have cheese slicers.

@Pickles group

Yeah, we have cheese slicers. You can get presliced cheese too, do you guys have that? (genuine curiousity) I hecking love using cheese slicers (and graters).

Deleted user

It is possible to buy presliced cheese in Sweden, but it's not very common and not many people do it. It takes up much more space in the fridge than just buying a block of cheese… We tried it once, but we then bought it at a German store. Just curious… what would a common american dinner look like?

Have you ever had… milksoup with lumps? I'm half Estonian and my mom wanted us to get to know our culture and eat Estonian food, aparently milksoup with lumps is something typical Estonian and let me tell you it is absolutely disgusting

Deleted user

I've never heard of it too, but it sounds interesting. I'm not very picky so I would probably try it with little hesitation.
I have a cheese slicer and OMG THEY WORK SOO WELL!! I love them so much! My family never buys precut cheese, even before we bought/found our cheese slicer we still bought a block and cut slices with a knife.

@bubblegum

A lot of fish, actually, and cooked vegetables, sometimes homemade hot dogs or hamburgers but often fast food from a restaurant.

Deleted user

A typical Swedish dinner would probably be like meatballs with pasta or mashed potatoes…

Deleted user

We eat a lot of vegetables too, but we usually don't cook them. They are more like a sallad…

@Norepinephrinxx

Well my family really likes chicken breast and rice…which I don't like but ya know. Um a fancier at home supper would be like steak, corn, garlic bread and veggies, I guess like sausage and Pierogi's would be pretty normal for us as well.
