Okay, I've been an American all my life and never have, nor eat a peanutbutter and mayo sandwich. Ambrosia salad is common in the south, not so much up north. What the hell is Cougar Gold? Never heard of it. Maybe it's popular in another region of the states. Koolickle? WTF is that? Weird American food is right. To each their own I guess.
Soho Yankee with u never heard of the peanut butter and mayo or the cheese or the pickles who is even telling them these are American lol and I live in Noth ambrosia salad is common as fuck
Soho Yankee cougar gold is a sharp cheddar made by the creamery at Washington state university. It's called cougar gold because the school's mascot is a cougar. Idk why it's even in this video, it's legit only popular in Washington state. And seriously, it's just cheese. Made by a university. In a tiny Washington town.
Soho Yankee My husband is from Indiana and they have all kinds of ambrosia like salads up there. I'm from the south and I've rarely seen Ambrosia served anywhere, but my dad grew up eating it in Pittsburgh in the late 30's and 1940's.
Proud Washingtonian and former Coug here. I know plenty of people around the country who love Cougar Gold, and are really excited when my family gives them a can or two for the holidays.
I like how the PB&Mayo sandwich had a caption “once popular in the south” because now I’m certain it must have been some depression era recipe that people only ate because they had nothing else. That’s the only explanation that makes sense to me.
Wolong Gong People from America dont call it American Pizza. People in other countries call it that, because its from America and most dont know shit about Chicago or its history. Much like how people cant name where PB and Mayo sandwich are from. Some are saying its popular in the south, some in Illinois say its popular, some people in the west coast say they ate it, Im from WI and I know people whove eaten it. Its a multi state thing, not even regional. If I wanted New England clam chowder its different to West coast clam chowder, but to someone in Ireland they dont know shit about the difference
A bit of history on Cougar Gold cheese--it was invented in the 1930s, when there was a national milk surplus. Researchers at the University of Washington invented a cheddar cheese that could be canned, and thus the surplus milk didn't go to waste. Cougar Gold cheese is still made today, sold in its distinctive tin cans.
Ah yes, the University of Washington Cougars, their colors being Crimson and Gold and their mascot being an actual dog/cat hybrid, right in the center of the state of Washington
On behalf of all Americans, I apologize for the peanut butter and mayo sandwich. Please accept New Jersey as compensation for the pain and suffering we've caused. I've never had that sandwich BTW.
Is it weird because it's in a can. I see it very where so I am use to it. The reason it is in a can is because it started during ww2 and they need to be able to ship it to the soldiers without it spoiling
@@FadedSpartan27 I live in Alabama and we eat ambrosia salad all the time also I have seen a few of my friends eat kool-aid pickles except they're sliced not like the spears in this video
Alastair Ward Right? Will these comments ever stop? I swear, they could eat the most stereotypical American food and three quarters of the comments would still be "I'm American and I've never had [insert food here]."
I live in the town where cougar gold cheese is made and it's basically gold here. People buy it for each other for birthdays, Christmas, you name it. It's also relatively expensive so if you receive a can you know you're loved 😂
I believe it comes from Washington State University. I've only heard of it from these kind of videos but it seems to be a hit in the Pacific Northwest.
Cougar Gold cheese from the Washington State University creamery is fantastic and is by no means a weird food. We're in Maryland and I'm not sure how we learned about this amazing cheese, but we've been ordering it online for years. Somewhat expensive but well worth it!
Silent Spectre that’s what I figured, too. See also, liver loaf and mock apple pie. We did get kraft Mac and cheese from this period, though, so that’s nice.
As a southern girl, I have never eaten a peanut butter and mayo sandwich, koolaid pickles, or canned cheese. It's NOT a southern thing specifically... maybe those meth southerners though, too high to know any better?
Shawn Charton yes they did. I actually have a few clients that enjoy it as well but I've never meet a younger person who eats it. And I definitely wouldn't, but I have prepared it a few times lol
1:45 Washington University actual makes and sell that. In fact they were payed by the government and the Can company way to develop a way to can cheese back in the 1940s. The cheese is shelf stable which is why it has no expiration date if it’s refrigerated it won’t ever spoil only age.

Rae Higgins It’s a Washington State thing. Washington State University is famous for it. You probably wouldn’t have heard of it unless you were raised close to it or went to college in Pullman
Ambrosia is a pretty common potluck dish here in the South. I don't personally like it myself, it's just too sweet. It's actually called Ambrosia salad, but I think even Southerners were like, lol who are we kidding. I'm sure somebody tried to deep fry it at one point.
George Williams I recall Watergate Salad as being chopped apples, walnuts and currants or raisins and maybe finely sliced celery with a mayonnaise dressing. I’ve made this one with walnuts, maraschino cherries from the jar, small pieces of pineapple, grapes cut in half and other small but soft fruits with a Cool Whip base mixed with a small box of pistachio pudding. They appear similar but this one if certainly fluffier and sweeter.
@@englishatheart well, I’m no chef, so I just put everything that I like with Cool Whip and call it Fluff. It’s terrific as a desert or with a meal. You cannot lose with it.
No one really eats most of these, and if they do it's a regional thing so this isnt all americans we promise we're not all psychotic. Everyone has ambrosia salad tho that ones real.
You said the French would be ashamed of the Cougar Gold cheddar cheese? Actually cheddar was originally made in the village of Cheddar in Somerset, England. I don't think they would think too badly of it, it's very tasty. The reason it's called Cougar Gold is because Washington State University's athletic teams are called The Cougars and they sell this cheese to fund some of their activities. It's pretty popular in the state of Washington.
I think the point is that the French known for the importance they place on food and cheese in particular (among other things). The point isn't that all cheese comes from France. That said, it's an interesting point.
The video wasn't called popular american foods, it's called weird american foods. I have never seen canned cheddar cheese but cheddar is about as american as it gets. Soaking pickles in Kool-Aid, yeah only an american could come up with that. Ambrosia salad is actually somewhat popular in the south. But peanut butter and mayo? Nah man, that's like some French wartime survival food or something.
wingracer 16 Um, cheddar is British. Exceedingly British. It's named after Cheddar, in England. Kraft singles American cheese is about as American as it gets. If they had given these folks a block of Velveeta or something maybe.
I'm from the US. Never heard of mayo and peanut butter or the cougar gold. Heard of the pickle concoction, never would try it though. Ambrosia salad, I grew up eating that as a dessert. Tasty! Hardly call that weird.
My sister and I are total cheese lovers and we had never heard of it until watching this. Im searching to see if I can buy a can online. Im interested to try it! I think its too cool that the students make it at the schools farm.
SouthernBredSweetie you won't be disappointed either. we freeze half the can so we can use it for football games and on special burgers during the summer. my husband went to school there or I probably never would have tried it because it does sound weird lol
As someone else pointed out this is "Weird American Food" not "Popular but WEIRD American Food"...so...yeah. Major koodohs for even trying the mayo-peanut butter sandwhich, I salute you.
Cougar Gold is an amazing sharp cheddar cheese. It is made my students in agricultural programs at Washington State University. It is crazy good and crazy expensive. It's not weird, it's cheese. It just happens to be in a can. Possibly because they ship the stuff all over the world, as it is an ultra premium cheese.
I've lived in Washington my whole life and I've never heard of cougar gold. In fact, I live just down the street from the wsu agricultural extension campus in puyallup.
True, red blooded american here. PB and Mayo, who the heck eats that? That was obviously made up Cougar Gold, thanks for the info, never heard of it, but made in the State next to me. Koolaid Pickles???? I don’t know any person who eats those.
i was born and raised in the US, never left the country, i have made weird sammiches in my time, pb and pepperoni, pb and cheddar cheese, real cheddar not processed, pb and cheddar and salsa... i don't do em anymore but i did... i guess they would qualify as Dagwoods, raid the fridge huh i wonder how this would taste
Cougar Gold is an American Cheddar cheese produced at the Washington State University Creamery in Pullman, Washington. Like other cheeses sold at the creamery, Cougar Gold is notable for being sold exclusively in 30oz tin cans. In 1993, the American Cheese Society awarded Cougar Gold with a blue ribbon, and in 1995, the cheese earned the United States Cheese Champion silver medal. Cougar Gold later received a silver medal at the 2000 World Cheese Awards and a gold medal at the 2006 World Cheese Awards.
Yawn...in other words, 50 triggered SJW snowflakes in Washington state are aware of it while the rest of the country is, and remains, totally ignorant of the processed crap.
sdushdiu Lol I like how you've never heard of it so you're getting all pissy lmao. From the comments it seems like a ton of people know what this is? I hadn't heard of it until now AND a live in WA so liiiiiike remove stick from ass maybe? Like wtf do SJWs and canned cheese even have in common? Take a nap, maybe eat some canned cheese and try to be a lil less cranky
Older generations ate peanut butter and mayo. I dont know anyone under 50 who has ever tried it. So I imagine it started as a desperation food during war time that carried over then eventually faded out.
I've heard of peanut butter and jelly, peanut butter and melted marshmallow (fluff), peanut butter and honey, peanut butter and sliced banana, more recently peanut butter and Nutella... but never peanut butter and mayo.... I'd prefer just the peanut butter.
annette fournier they do in fact this time of year is when it's really the best time to get it because it's able to stay cool during shipping. I've let it sit for over a year-and-a-half then opened it. It's great with tart fruit and also chili dishes. some high-end cheese stores also carry it.
Is that cougar gold made for washington state university? It has the wsu logo on it, and cougar are their mascot, but I've never heard of that product.
Bartleby the Scribener yes, WSU cheese. It's amazing but expensive & hard to find sometimes. Washington state University makes it & ice cream from the agriculture program.
WIth banana, it is truely eaten in the south. I was introduced to it as Peanut butter and banana sandwich, and yes, I could not believe it had mayonaise in it.
I love the PB and Mayo, gotta be Hellmans though :) Most people I know on the other hand think it's disgusting but I also like PB and ranch or a PB sandy to dip in my chili bowl :)
Not being sarcastic, but thank you Facts, as an American, all of these are brand-new to me, goes to show how many things we make up that never really spread across the entire country
Pickled pigs feet are not unique to America at all. Its eaten all over the worlds(well some of it). In Norway we call them Syltelabber and that translates into Pickled Paws when you split the words sylte and labber making them more creepy and weird.
PB& Mayo? Eww! Where did that combo come from? I've never even heard of that as thing till now! Oooh! Ambrosia! *want some now* Never heard of Cougar Gold.....though...I might have to keep an eye out for it now. I was asking the same question about the Koolickle. "What the F*ck is that?" I've never seen one before. The appearance makes me think a little bit of Mexican chili lime mango that I can get at the import shop down the block from where I live.
Cougar Gold is expensive, and not sold outside the region, though I think you can order it. Any of the millions of Cougs on this video could probably tell you. GO DAWGS!
Type Koolickle in the search box and there will be videos on them. I make them every now and then ... they are very good IF you use the cherry or the fruit punch flavors. I let mine cure for a month and then .... we feast!!!! LOL!!!!
I am always just curious as to how these food combinations are originally conceived. I mean, pickles marinating in Kool-Aid? Then again, I always wondered why someone first thought to drink stuff they squeezed from a cow.
Jason Tavares lots of weird food combos come from times of war and rationing, when people were poor and had to make do with whatever they could get their hands on. But I definitely know what you mean.
Unfortunately, I don't think that explains the Kool-Aid pickles. That's doubling up on ingredients, not conserving them. Also, wasn't sugar rationed pretty heavily? I do seem to remember Ambrosia being in 1950s-era cookbooks though, along with all those disturbing Jello molds.
raeesmerelda Yeah, I wasn't specifically meaning the pickles. I don't know the origin story for them, except that they're a southern thing. I was thinking more about things like the sandwich.
THEY FINALLY DID MY SUGGESTION! The PB and Mayo! It's an old Great Depression sandwich. I was raised on them! They are sweet and salty like eating toffee peanuts or an apple with salt on it.
Even that doesn't make sense, if it were during the great depression, you would either have mayo OR PB.... You wouldn't put them together, that shit don't make sense...
I have a feeling a lazy person didnt feel like going to the store one day, put together 2 random things, found they werent completely repulsive, and made up the depression story.
It's not uncommon in Bama for people to eat peanut butter, jelly, and mayo. I've never seen anyone eat JUST pb + mayo, but quite a few with the jelly. And for us, the mayo has to be BAMA, of course! :)
My god, PB and mayo? I've never heard of that in my entire life, and I'm an American, lol. You'd have been better off making a Fluffernutter, or PB and Fluff (basically marshmallows). They're actually decent.
To everyone saying "i lived in america my while life and never heard of X thing" there are literally 50 states in the country, with their own distinct areas, each having different variations of culture, views, traditions, and delicacies. Just cuz you have never heard of it before doesnt mean it isnt popular or known somewhere else. Do some research before claiming things please.
If they are saying they have lived in America their whole lives and never heard of those things, you do realize they are not negating that there are 50 states all with their own cultures? They are just saying THEY never heard of those things.
I was first given peanut butter and mayo in third grade at a friend's house and I thought I would hate it, but I actually quite liked it. Apparently, it was popular in their family. That was in Michigan, which is in America. I've eaten them ever since and rarely, but sometimes come across others who do, as well.
its weird seeing a food i'm familiar with on this list. Like maybe its tha fact i've lived next to WSU my whole life but I didn't think cougar gold was that weird i guess
You're not going to see it anywhere really... It's from Washington State University in Pullman, WA. The cheese is freaking DIVINE. It's not some processed garbage, it's high quality delicious cheese.

It is truly one of the best cheeses in the country. Very well aged cheddar.
@@alanabanana4013 pullman represent....well moscow actually
I only know what it is because I went to college in Pullman and I was raised in Spokane lol. I never once tried it though.
Omg. Coming from the land of Cougar Gold, it’s AMAZING!
homershippo heck yes!
Where do u get it from I'm in mississippi
ron d Washington I believe
@@rond3367 Made by the University of Wisconsin dairy. You can order it online for $25 plus shipping for a 30 once can.
@@clydecavalieri8490 Washington State University, not University of Wisconsin.
Facts should react to American Girl Scout cookies!
They did one for that 👍🏼
Yeah, that was a good one.... They're all pretty funny.
I'm from America, and these are the only four things we eat ever.
I'm a little concerned that you're regularly consuming sugar and vinegar at the same time.
raeesmerelda--Racist
Yep, are they saying there are other foods out there?!!
sugar + vinegar + tomato paste = ketchup, which i'm pretty sure we ALL eat regularly
LOL. Shocking, right!
Ambrosia is a pretty common potluck dish here in the South. I don't personally like it myself, it's just too sweet. It's actually called Ambrosia salad, but I think even Southerners were like, lol who are we kidding. I'm sure somebody tried to deep fry it at one point.
Nicole Williams I love it! I grew up in the North, and the first time I had Ambrosia Salad I thought I’d died and gone to heaven!
that and there was this stuff called Watergate salad that was along the same line as ambrosia.
George Williams I recall Watergate Salad as being chopped apples, walnuts and currants or raisins and maybe finely sliced celery with a mayonnaise dressing. I’ve made this one with walnuts, maraschino cherries from the jar, small pieces of pineapple, grapes cut in half and other small but soft fruits with a Cool Whip base mixed with a small box of pistachio pudding. They appear similar but this one if certainly fluffier and sweeter.
@@feversol Goodness no. Watergate Salad is crushed pineapple, pistachio pudding, pecans or walnuts, mini marshmallows, and whipped topping.
@@englishatheart well, I’m no chef, so I just put everything that I like with Cool Whip and call it Fluff. It’s terrific as a desert or with a meal. You cannot lose with it.
No one really eats most of these, and if they do it's a regional thing so this isnt all americans we promise we're not all psychotic. Everyone has ambrosia salad tho that ones real.
Autumn Kolk it’s the same with Chinese. Not all of them eats bat
@@mvegas9552 heck yeah!
You said the French would be ashamed of the Cougar Gold cheddar cheese? Actually cheddar was originally made in the village of Cheddar in Somerset, England. I don't think they would think too badly of it, it's very tasty. The reason it's called Cougar Gold is because Washington State University's athletic teams are called The Cougars and they sell this cheese to fund some of their activities. It's pretty popular in the state of Washington.
The reason it is in a can is because it started during ww2 and they need to be able to ship it to the soldiers without it spoiling.
I think the point is that the French known for the importance they place on food and cheese in particular (among other things). The point isn't that all cheese comes from France. That said, it's an interesting point.
My2ndnephew I think they meant that they would be ashamed of their own cheeses by how good that cheese is. at least that's how I understood it.
Ah, it's always good to see something another perspective!
I'm from America and I have never heard of any of these foods
The video wasn't called popular american foods, it's called weird american foods. I have never seen canned cheddar cheese but cheddar is about as american as it gets. Soaking pickles in Kool-Aid, yeah only an american could come up with that. Ambrosia salad is actually somewhat popular in the south.
But peanut butter and mayo? Nah man, that's like some French wartime survival food or something.
wingracer 16 Um, cheddar is British. Exceedingly British. It's named after Cheddar, in England.
Kraft singles American cheese is about as American as it gets. If they had given these folks a block of Velveeta or something maybe.
Wisconsin cheddar sells across the globe my dude. Not saying its the only cheddar, or the original cheddar. But Wisconsin makes a damn good cheddar.
Cougar gold is as american as it gets. nothing like your english cheddar. and its made in washington usa! sillly lobster!
I'm from the US. Never heard of mayo and peanut butter or the cougar gold. Heard of the pickle concoction, never would try it though. Ambrosia salad, I grew up eating that as a dessert. Tasty! Hardly call that weird.
I love that Washington state Cougar Gold made it into this video. The best is to use it when making bacon Mac n' cheese 🧀
Go cougs!
Agreed, although its almost too expensive and fancy for that. I use cheap brick white cheddar for that and save my cougar gold hahaha
Go Cougs!
I had some of that cougar Gold canned cheese today for the first time and it was amazing.
OMG, cougar gold is the best cheese I've ever had!! GO COUGS!!!!!
DAWGS!!!! GO DAWGS!!!! (just to start a fight...though the dawgs don't make amazing cheese).
My sister and I are total cheese lovers and we had never heard of it until watching this. Im searching to see if I can buy a can online. Im interested to try it! I think its too cool that the students make it at the schools farm.
SouthernBredSweetie what state do you live in? it's hard to find. they have it at Costco sometimes in Washington.
SouthernBredSweetie you won't be disappointed either. we freeze half the can so we can use it for football games and on special burgers during the summer. my husband went to school there or I probably never would have tried it because it does sound weird lol
Mallory R I'm in Arkansas but I found where I can order it directly from the school online.
As someone else pointed out this is "Weird American Food" not "Popular but WEIRD American Food"...so...yeah. Major koodohs for even trying the mayo-peanut butter sandwhich, I salute you.
Reya Gredonia no
Still gross
Kudos?
Ambrosia isn’t weird - at least not in the South. Someone brings a bowl to every party!
Cougar Gold is an amazing sharp cheddar cheese. It is made my students in agricultural programs at Washington State University. It is crazy good and crazy expensive. It's not weird, it's cheese. It just happens to be in a can. Possibly because they ship the stuff all over the world, as it is an ultra premium cheese.
Mario Gonzalez Right? It’s so good. Go Cougs!
I agree with everything but the last statement. Bow down to Washington! =)
I've lived in Washington my whole life and I've never heard of cougar gold. In fact, I live just down the street from the wsu agricultural extension campus in puyallup.
Ooooh. Thx for the lesson
I looked online after this video. It is expensive. Shame I was hoping to stock up a little. Oh well.
Never heard of kool-ade pickles! But I am gonna scour eBay for that canned cheese! Great food to have for emergencies!
Dear Irish People: These are indeed weird stuff eaten by small populations of people in various parts of America. They are NOT regular snacks or food.
They know that. Trust me, they know.
Hmm. If only they had a way to advertise that the foods are weird...
K Fallon yes, because these what, six people, are representative of the entire Republic of Ireland
ok k
Uh, Cougar Gold Cheese is eaten here on a daily basis.
Go Cougs!
Who the F*** eats peanut butter and mayo sandwiches!?
Brittcom Ky not me
Brittcom Ky I used to eat peanut and kethup as a kid. Makes me wonder if that's why I hate those things as an adult lol
No damn body
Brittcom Ky Southerners apparently
My mother when she was pregnant with my brother.
The guy with the black beard is friggin hot!
Michael T Dónal Sharpson 😉
As a straight male I got to agree on you with that. He is very handsome.
My Dad used to make these for my brother and I. As long as mayo is homemade it's amazing.
I could see that being good if he used peanut oil to make the mayo
Ambrosia is f*cking amazing when made with fresh citrus.
Oddly it contains sour cream though.
Some use mayo, some use sour cream and some use whipping cream.
I like pecans in mine too
It's a great dessert that can be made in a snap. I haven't had ambrosia since the 1970s with the entire family.
True, red blooded american here.
PB and Mayo, who the heck eats that? That was obviously made up
Cougar Gold, thanks for the info, never heard of it, but made in the State next to me.
Koolaid Pickles????
I don’t know any person who eats those.
i was born and raised in the US, never left the country, i have made weird sammiches in my time, pb and pepperoni, pb and cheddar cheese, real cheddar not processed, pb and cheddar and salsa... i don't do em anymore but i did... i guess they would qualify as Dagwoods, raid the fridge huh i wonder how this would taste
@@CorvusCorone68 Were you fucking stoned when you made them?
Another red blooded American here as well and I eat pb&m sandwiches.
@@jacobsnelson1 Why? Just Why?
@@qthedisaster1730 because it tastes good. I was like 10 when I first tried it. I don't have them very often though
Where are the bread, butter and cucumber sandwiches? Where are the fried bologna sandwiches, fried okra or corn fritters?
Corn okra fritters. Yum.
PB and Mayo was a regular staple in my childhood. It also helps to add lettuce.
What was Cougar Gold?
Everyone with active taste buds like ambrosia.
Cougar Gold is an American Cheddar cheese produced at the Washington State University Creamery in Pullman, Washington. Like other cheeses sold at the creamery, Cougar Gold is notable for being sold exclusively in 30oz tin cans.
In 1993, the American Cheese Society awarded Cougar Gold with a blue ribbon, and in 1995, the cheese earned the United States Cheese Champion silver medal. Cougar Gold later received a silver medal at the 2000 World Cheese Awards and a gold medal at the 2006 World Cheese Awards.
Yawn...in other words, 50 triggered SJW snowflakes in Washington state are aware of it while the rest of the country is, and remains, totally ignorant of the processed crap.
Its not "processed" though it's made and inspected in a creamery at WSU. Its high quality cheese.
sdushdiu Lol I like how you've never heard of it so you're getting all pissy lmao. From the comments it seems like a ton of people know what this is? I hadn't heard of it until now AND a live in WA so liiiiiike remove stick from ass maybe? Like wtf do SJWs and canned cheese even have in common? Take a nap, maybe eat some canned cheese and try to be a lil less cranky
i saw the cougar gold and got so pumped because im from washington!!
😂 how come I'm American and I haven't heard of any of these foods?
Nope. Sorry. Peanut butter and honey or jam. No fluff. Fluff goes into Rice Crispies. In hot chocolate as well.
@@pinkythechihuahua3156 nope peanut butter and fluff is amazing
Lol nobody in America eats this shit.
Edit: ok so I've had ambrosia salad. It's good. But the rest, never seen it or heard of it.
You do understand we have many different kinds of people in the U.S., right? Dumb ass.
Older generations ate peanut butter and mayo. I dont know anyone under 50 who has ever tried it. So I imagine it started as a desperation food during war time that carried over then eventually faded out.
I am eating my second pb and mayo sammich
Son eats peanut butter and mayo all the time
@@brittanyr9471 Spoken like a true Centennial. Sheer bias and gigantic ignorance.
So happy to see cougar gold
Cody Reavis from Pullman?
Go Cougs!
NOBODY MAKES PEANUT BUTTER AND MAYO IN AMERICA.. WTF
ive lived in america my whole life, born here lived here.. AND I HAVE NEVER HEARD MORE THAN HALF OF THESE NASTY ASS FOODS
You realize that this is about WEIRD foods, not common ones, right?
I've heard of peanut butter and jelly, peanut butter and melted marshmallow (fluff), peanut butter and honey, peanut butter and sliced banana, more recently peanut butter and Nutella... but never peanut butter and mayo.... I'd prefer just the peanut butter.
My mother used to eat peanut butter, mayo, and lettuce sandwiches. When she'd make one, I'd have to leave the room.
my mom would eat peanut butter and mayo...not my thing
Kool-aid Pickles are definitely from the south. They aren't that bad either! 😋
+CupcakeLove I want some!!
I've lived in the south all my life and never even heard of Kool-aid pickles.
they're so good omfg
Grew up having to eat these when times were hard and hated them. Now it's comfort food and I love them.
Cougar Gold is supposed to be good, I live in WA and heard about it.
Ambrosia Salad - very tatsy
It's pronounced Goop, and belongs at Christmas and Thanksgiving.
I love ambrosia salad!!! :)
Dustin Trevillian Yes! A Thanksgiving favorite of mine.
I add a jar of maraschino cherries to mine and I've never regretted it.
Where do you get cheddar in a can? Wyoming? I've never seen it before in the USA. Preppers cheese?
annette fournier That reminds me of the video I saw of a prepper woman canning butter.
annette fournier They make Cougar Gold at the Washington State University campus in Pullman :)
Oh man, I was close. I really want one but I'm on the East coast. Maybe they have a website. I'm going to check.
annette fournier they do in fact this time of year is when it's really the best time to get it because it's able to stay cool during shipping. I've let it sit for over a year-and-a-half then opened it. It's great with tart fruit and also chili dishes. some high-end cheese stores also carry it.
WooHoo!
“You can’t make me do it”
Man who later go on to eat an entire can of surstromming
Peanut butter and cream cheese, however, is AWE INSPIRING.
"I think my gag reflex has been activated by a thought." 😂
*Irish people critique abstract art.*
I feel most of these are an acceptable dinner for any college student.
When I was in college I had about 15 different recipes that involved Mac and Cheese.
mhaith an fear
I'm American and the only only thing I've heard of was the Kool aid pickles and I've never even had them. Thank you next!
Is that cougar gold made for washington state university? It has the wsu logo on it, and cougar are their mascot, but I've never heard of that product.
Bartleby the Scribener yes, WSU cheese. It's amazing but expensive & hard to find sometimes. Washington state University makes it & ice cream from the agriculture program.
why yes it is and very good too.
Cougar Gold is pretty awesome, I went to the college that makes it.
Barbara Hudson I go there now. Go Cougs :)
Who eats peanut butter and mayo what American ? Not this one ☝️
WIth banana, it is truely eaten in the south. I was introduced to it as Peanut butter and banana sandwich, and yes, I could not believe it had mayonaise in it.
Mrnic3guy i don't know man, you americans are weirdly obessed with peanut butter for some reason
I love the PB and Mayo, gotta be Hellmans though :) Most people I know on the other hand think it's disgusting but I also like PB and ranch or a PB sandy to dip in my chili bowl :)
Eat PB and Mayo all the time, I use Best Foods (Hellmans on the west coast). its the only good Mayo.
I'm American and I'd never couple peanut butter with mayo. Yuck!!
Not being sarcastic, but thank you Facts, as an American, all of these are brand-new to me, goes to show how many things we make up that never really spread across the entire country
Peanut butter and mayo sandwiches are something people ate roughly 100 years ago.
@@tarajohnson8481 and here I thought it was just my cousin’s personal taste as a child. Seriously, he ate this despite jelly being in the house
No pickled pig's feet? Shame.
...or pickled eggs.
Didn't they already do pickled pigs feet? I don't remember the video but I could have sworn they had...
I pe the have them try eating a horseshoe which is Texas toast any kind of meat French fries and cheese sauce
whoops I ment hope not pe lol
Pickled pigs feet are not unique to America at all. Its eaten all over the worlds(well some of it). In Norway we call them Syltelabber and that translates into Pickled Paws when you split the words sylte and labber making them more creepy and weird.
"Sound like a website" that's fantastic
PB& Mayo? Eww! Where did that combo come from? I've never even heard of that as thing till now!
Oooh! Ambrosia! *want some now*
Never heard of Cougar Gold.....though...I might have to keep an eye out for it now.
I was asking the same question about the Koolickle. "What the F*ck is that?" I've never seen one before. The appearance makes me think a little bit of Mexican chili lime mango that I can get at the import shop down the block from where I live.
Cougar Gold is expensive, and not sold outside the region, though I think you can order it. Any of the millions of Cougs on this video could probably tell you. GO DAWGS!
"PB& Mayo? Eww! Where did that combo come from? "
The Great Depression.
My mom makes those with banana slices on them. I want to puke when I watch her eat them
I like it, better than jelly.
Type Koolickle in the search box and there will be videos on them. I make them every now and then ... they are very good IF you use the cherry or the fruit punch flavors. I let mine cure for a month and then .... we feast!!!! LOL!!!!
I am always just curious as to how these food combinations are originally conceived. I mean, pickles marinating in Kool-Aid? Then again, I always wondered why someone first thought to drink stuff they squeezed from a cow.
Jason Tavares lots of weird food combos come from times of war and rationing, when people were poor and had to make do with whatever they could get their hands on. But I definitely know what you mean.
Unfortunately, I don't think that explains the Kool-Aid pickles. That's doubling up on ingredients, not conserving them.
Also, wasn't sugar rationed pretty heavily?
I do seem to remember Ambrosia being in 1950s-era cookbooks though, along with all those disturbing Jello molds.
raeesmerelda Yeah, I wasn't specifically meaning the pickles. I don't know the origin story for them, except that they're a southern thing. I was thinking more about things like the sandwich.
Pregnant women? 😜
poor people's food is usually the origins of some of these odd dishes.....chitlins, rocky mountain oysters, grits, Spam, etc.
"Don't tell me it's a tomato!" *eats kool-aid soaked pickles*
I love Cougar Gold, one of my states finest foods
THEY FINALLY DID MY SUGGESTION! The PB and Mayo! It's an old Great Depression sandwich. I was raised on them! They are sweet and salty like eating toffee peanuts or an apple with salt on it.
Mr Potential Platypus the Depression was a long time ago and I'm sure people made a good decision leaving this sandwich back there! 😂
Nicole Daley lol
Even that doesn't make sense, if it were during the great depression, you would either have mayo OR PB....
You wouldn't put them together, that shit don't make sense...
I have a feeling a lazy person didnt feel like going to the store one day, put together 2 random things, found they werent completely repulsive, and made up the depression story.
Washington State University REPRESENT! GO COUGS!! I am a Cougar...Where did you get a can of Cougar Gold Cheese?
David John Go Cougs! (And it says in the description they imported it from Washington)

At the winery on a bovil run!
Go COUGS !
GO DAWGS!!! 🐕🐶😂
FACTS. IN THE SOUTH WE HAVE BANANA AND MAYO SANDWICHES. NOT PEANUT BUTTER AND MAYO. Also the Mayo has to be Dukes.
It's not uncommon in Bama for people to eat peanut butter, jelly, and mayo. I've never seen anyone eat JUST pb + mayo, but quite a few with the jelly. And for us, the mayo has to be BAMA, of course! :)
I am VERY American and I would never have peanut butter and mayo
I've never heard of Cougar Gold
Dangerously Pink you obviously never lived in the Pacific Northwest
Dangerously Pink there's literally a waitlist for Cougar Gold in the PNW

But when he said "it sounds like a website... ;) " it made me lol
Its an accepted form of currency in the PNW, true story. Banks will take it as collateral.

cougar gold from wsu!
They said WSU, not UW. But hey, we see who's the real triggered snowflake here.
Speaking as an American, who the hell decided that to mayo with peanut butter

My god, PB and mayo? I've never heard of that in my entire life, and I'm an American, lol. You'd have been better off making a Fluffernutter, or PB and Fluff (basically marshmallows). They're actually decent.
Cougar gold!
Right?! I'm a cheesemonger and Cougar Gold is so respected. It's phenomenal.
Andy Lake never heard of it. What part of the country eats this?
Just looked its 68.99$ fuck that
$22 at the Washington State U. (where it's made) website (cougercheese.wsu.edu).
Go COUGS!
To everyone saying "i lived in america my while life and never heard of X thing" there are literally 50 states in the country, with their own distinct areas, each having different variations of culture, views, traditions, and delicacies. Just cuz you have never heard of it before doesnt mean it isnt popular or known somewhere else.
Do some research before claiming things please.
If they are saying they have lived in America their whole lives and never heard of those things, you do realize they are not negating that there are 50 states all with their own cultures? They are just saying THEY never heard of those things.
NO ONE IN AMERICA EATS PEANUTBUTTER AND MAYO WTF??
a lot of people eat them
R Messian I'm guessing it's a thing the south does. I've never heard of that.
I overheard a girl at Food Lion here in N Carolina talking about how she loved it. She was the only one that I have ever heard of eating this garbage.
Yes they do, lol...
Well you're wrong there, I grew up on it and I don't live in the south.
Peanut butter and mayo is not an American thing haha
I was first given peanut butter and mayo in third grade at a friend's house and I thought I would hate it, but I actually quite liked it. Apparently, it was popular in their family. That was in Michigan, which is in America. I've eaten them ever since and rarely, but sometimes come across others who do, as well.
Yes, it is.
It's an old southern food combo. We don't eat it much anymore, but we used to.
Yes. They are. Been eating them for years. Just add lettuce.
I used to eat them when I was a kid. they weren't bad. Better with Miracle Whip though, not regular mayo.
Their lying to you no American would ever eat that! Lol
Never count Americans out for the weird crud we would eat. But yes, that seems disgusting
Sadly, we do eat that crap. Maybe it's just a southern thing?
They did... During the Great Depression
Sometimes the FACTS producers like to mess with the cast. They make up stuff to see if they will eat it.
I've had everyone of these and I'm a Canadian expat
As a Washington state resident (and that also has an aunt that went to WSU) you have no idea how happy i am to see Cougar Gold cheese up there
its weird seeing a food i'm familiar with on this list. Like maybe its tha fact i've lived next to WSU my whole life but I didn't think cougar gold was that weird i guess
"If the French saw this they'd weep" try Wisconsinites
I'm from Wisconsin and the canned cheese was an abomination.
Originally from Wisco and WTF is that canned cheese crap!? Haven't seen it in Nevada, Nebraska, or Arizona either.
You're not going to see it anywhere really... It's from Washington State University in Pullman, WA. The cheese is freaking DIVINE. It's not some processed garbage, it's high quality delicious cheese.
Sorry, ya’all are wrong. That canned cheese is very, very good.
John S. Heck yeah it is. Go Cougs!
Cougar Gold is amazing!!! Especially warmed! Smoked is even better. Who the flip eats PB and mayo??? Barf!
I just feel confused. My reaction to all your testings 😂.I haven't tried any of those things. Especially the mayo and peanut butter.
