10 American foods that many people outside of the US think are strange

To many people outside of the US, some foods that hardly any American would blink at are actually quite puzzling, according to thisReddit thread.

Here are some foods that Americans eat that some individuals from other countries apparently find to be fairly strange. Of course, this is just for fun, as INSIDER cannot independently authenticate these answers.

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches seem like a strange combination to some people.

"I have lived in both Finland and the US. Once I woke up in the middle of the day after a house party. I got up and found peanut butter in a cabinet and jam in the fridge.

"As I started making a classic PB&J the other people in the house surrounded me and gave me a face of confusion. Someone asked me, 'Wait... you are really going to eat that?' I guess people in Finland do not eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. They all thought the idea was gross." - Reddit user amsenaia

Refried beans in tortillas aren't appealing to everyone.

"I stayed in a hostel and me and another American managed to find some refried beans and made some bean burritos. The Australians in the hostel just watched us eat them and couldn't believe we were eating 'dog food wraps.'" - Reddit user emrhiannon

Corn dogs seem "weird" to some.

"Those coated hot dogs on sticks. I've seen them in movies, they look really weird." - Reddit user VeryThoughtfulName

To some, canned spray cheese seems like a joke.

"I heard you can get cheese in a spray can! Surely this is a joke, right?" - Reddit user fifyi

Some people are puzzled by those who eat peanut butter on apples.

"As an American living in Australia I was criticised for eating apples with peanut butter." - Reddit user PavlovaPanda

Some just think pairing chicken and waffles isn't right.

"Waffles with chicken. It just seems so wrong." - Reddit user iammrsbug

Some people just can't get behind refrigerated bread.

"I'm a Scot just back from California a week ago. Bread in the fridge? No thanks." - Reddit user ActTuffGetMuff

Casseroles are a confusing concept to some.

"I don't understand what casserole really is. There's desert casserole, meat casserole, pie casserole?" - Reddit user 7teen38

Some people don't think undercooked burgers sound appealing.

"I cannot understand why people don't cook ground beef all the way through ... I go to a restaurant in Florida and they ask, 'How would you like your burger cooked?' I just look at them thinking to myself, 'Why are you even asking me?'" - Reddit user Excelaustica

Boxed mac and cheese isn't appetizing to everyone.

"That mac and cheese in a box monstrosity. My friend bought some from an import shop here and we tried it for a taste of American stuff one night.

"My arteries, taste buds and stomach all rebelled at once. How do you eat this stuff?" -Reddit user TheWelshPanda
