The grits seemed like a weird one to me as they are so similar to polenta.
But... I also know that even in America, many people don't or won't eat
grits. They are not commonly served here.

Corndogs always smelled good and I liked the other coating so long as it
isn't the part touching the hotdog. I can't stand hotdogs.

I attempted to eat a Philly Cheesesteak once. I didn't get beyond that
first bite. Blech!

Anybody who classifies mayonnaise, or bacon and eggs for breakfast, as
"American" foods needs to get out more.

I wonder, do people in other countries use mayonnaise instead of butter
in a sandwich? I don't happen to like it but others seem to.

Outside Britain, Ireland, North America and places settled by the
British and Irish, do people eat eggs and bacon for breakfast? Breakfast
can be a bit more hearty than the stereotypical Continental Breakfast in
Holland and Germany but that usually means the provision of cheese and
cold ham. I have also had a boiled egg at breakfast in Germany.

I suspect using mayonnaise in a sandwich may
be what was meant. I'm from the UK, been in
the USA for 30+ years and still think it's
disgusting.

In South America it is typical to have coffee or hot chocolate and a small
bready item. In Japan they eat rice and a small amount of fish or
vegetables. Some places eat fruit.

We never had it in the house. We did have Miracle Whip but I never liked

One of my aunts used to moisten sandwich bread with butter, which I
thought was weird. We mostly used mustard. Once in a while, Miracle Whip.

You can get a soft-boiled egg in the Low Countries. Eggs are more of
a supper dish in countries that speak Romance languages.

My example of how Rick Steves ruined travel: The charming little Salzburg
hotel/restaurant we found from extensive research in the early 80s became
a Rick Steves recommendation. When we went back there, instead of offering
a typical breakfast, they provided electric griddles, eggs, and (Lord
knows how) streaky bacon. Just like back home in America, for the now
entirely American clientele.

Not in Australia at least, no.

I have cheese at breakfast sometimes, usually in the form of tomato,
onion and cheese on toast.

Boiled eggs are for breakfast here, very unusual to eat them for other
meals.

LOL. This is kind of blowing my mind. Is it really uncommon in the U.S
to put butter on bread for a sandwich?? 99.999999% of sammies made in
Australia has butter on it. I honestly though that was the norm across
the world??

People might do it at home, especially for picky kids but unless it is
something like a grilled cheese, a restaurant sandwich won't have it. Mayo
is probably the most common thing followed by mustard or perhaps some kind
of dressing.

I always butter the bread in my sandwiches. (I'm in Canada.) It
doesn't "moisten" the bread - it's there to prevent the mayonnaise
from making the bread soggy.

I think most people in Canada do the same.

I do sometimes. I worked with some people who would have butter and mayo. Aioli can be better than mayo. Mayo, hot mustard, and chicken makes for a good simple burger or roll.

I don't butter sandwiches. I don't particularly like butter on
sandwiches. More important, if I drop the bread on the floor I don't
have to worry which side it will land on.

So you think using mayo on a sandwich is disgusting? really? wth?

I'm having lasagna, salad, and garlic bread for dinner tonight but
first, I'm making 2 sandwiches for later night snacks:

- White bread lightly toasted
- Hellmans mayo on all 4 slices
- slice of german bologna on each sandwich
- 2 slices of swiss cheese on each sandwich
- a couple of thin slices of tomato on each
- some sliced onion on each
- a few leaves of iceburg lettuce on each

Eaten later with some 'sour cream and onion' potato chips
A couple of chocolate chip cookies for 'dessert'

yum!

I don't think people eat jam sandwiches here either unless there is peanut
butter on there. And yes, some people do put mayo on those. Not most
though.

Grilled cheese is the only sandwich I butter. I have never had a
buttered sandwich other that that. I always use mayonnaise and usually
mustard. Already dressed fillings like chicken salad don't get any
additional mayo or mustard. My dad's side of the family prefers ketchup.

I make a jam sandwich just fine. Hold the mayo and no butter unless
it's hot toast... if I have butter, it's peanut butter.

I don't think the original sandwich had any condiments on it at all. Just
meat and bread.

Haha- 20 years ago, my husband and I went on our first trip to Paris.
I was so excited as it had been a long dream.

We stopped in a small cafe for lunch and in my best high school
French, I ordered a ham and cheese sandwich and orange juice. It came
on a tasty baguette and had only ham and cheese. My husband- who was
not a Francophile and was only used to Hawaiian type stuff, turned to
me and said "Don't they use mayonnaise?" I replied- it seems like a
French word- but we learned that in France, the sandwiches we were
used to, did not have butter nor mayonnaise.

It's actually laughable how many people here think they know more than
an actual doctors who went to school, got a degree in their field and
conduct research on the subject.

The 18th century Lord Sandwich probably just called for roast beef
between two slices of bread. I prefer to think that he asked for it so
he could eat while playing cards but some prosaic people think it was so
he did not mess up state papers; he was Secretary of the Navy.
