18 Comfort Foods That Only Americans Understand
"I'm on a seafood diet. I see food and I eat it."
1. Peanut Butter
add chocolate =
add jelly =
but really, it's best all by itself:
2. Ice Cream
You can tell a lot about a person by their favorite flavor of ice cream.
3. Home-cooked Spaghetti & Meatballs
Top that off with the holy grail of powdered cheeses...
4. Fried Chicken
This is best with 5-7 dipping sauces, sometimes mixed together.
5. Funnel Cake
The best funnel cakes are those ones that come on paper plates at Six Flags with questionable "fruit" toppings and grease stains.
6. Mashed Potatoes & Gravy
The best part of mashed potatoes is that they go with everything.
LIKE THIS.
7. Apple Pie
Never trust a human who refuses pie.
8. Hush Puppies
I think these little fried balls are actually healthy because they have corn in them.
9. Chicken Noodle Soup
Does anyone know why we put Saltines in this? Does anyone know why it tastes so damn wonderful?
10. Grilled Cheese & Campbell's Tomato Soup
Grab a can of Campbell's, a loaf of Wonderbread, some Kraft American slices and you're #winning.
11. Kraft Mac & Cheese
There's just something about these bright orange squishy noodles that rank them higher than the others.
12. Pillsbury Flaky Biscuits
If you don't enjoy diving face first into a flaky biscuit, you're wrong.
13. Pancakes
Layer some butter, add some peanut butter, top it off with Mrs. Butterworth's and ride the waves to Nirvana.
14. Chili
Whether you're one of those Wendy's regulars or you've sold your life to the Crock Pot, you know there's nothing better than a hot bowl of chili with all the works.
15. Domino's Cheese Pizza
For the barbarians who don't like Domino's: there is literally no way you don't miss ordering pizza 3x per week during your undergrad.
16. Hostess Powdered Donuts
I think powdered-sugar donuts are actually the only reason to take a road trip.
17. Grocery Store Frosting Cookies
Crowned Queen of Narnia for bringing these in for class party.
18. Hard Tacos From Taco Bell
Three packets of hot sauce later and you're a new woman.
