Countries often have weird takes on food that originated elsewhere, such as the classic "white people Chinese food" thing that America has going on. But other countries do this to American food as well. Some entries from Europe:  I'm reasonably certain this is offensive to at least 3 separate groups of Americans  Love me some pizza hotdog burgers   In lots of Europe, you can not buy what Americans call "Hot Dogs" in anything but canned form. I find the idea of a canned Hot Dog deeply disturbing. Scandinavia gets special mention for their hosed up ideas about pizza.  Banana pizza is quite popular in Sweden  In denmark they have something popular called Sallatpizza, which is basicly a whole gyro/doner kebab on a pizza, including the lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and dressing  In sweden they have something called Pizzasallat, which is basically coleslaw, but they put it ON the pizza when you eat it, all orders of pizza in Sweden come with pizzasallat. What other hosed up examples of food that is supposedly American do you know of? I know japan has some great examples of mutations of American dishes, but I'm uncertain what to search for.

You'd need a PhD in snackology to engineer a pizza hot dog burger.

That saladpizza has been getting popular in Germany too recently. There is also the classic Hawaitoast, which is pineapple pizza without pizza:  There is also euro-chili. Where you take a traditional goulash and add red beans and a hint of chili.

Is an Americano a popular coffee drink around the world? It's called Long Black in Australia. Because I don't know any Americans that drink it.

So wait, just to confirm, those hot dogs in a can are just the wieners and not the buns/condiments as pictured, correct?

Not sure what Swedish takes on pizza have to do with this topic though, since American-style Pizza is already a pretty weird take on actual Italian pizza. Hence most european versions of American style pizza are even worse. Are those complete hot dogs with bread and everything? Real Frankfurter sausages are always sold in jars or, in some cases, bottles. As a German, most "Frankfurt" style sausages sold in other european countries are pretty much inedible. I have enjoyed hot dogs in the US though. How are the sausages usually sold in US supermarkets?

Hence most european versions of American style pizza are even worse. Typically they come in clear, soft plastic packages, similar to what you would (at least here) purchase a cheese in. You can also find them in cans, typically sold under the name "Vienna Sausages." They're the same thing, though. I think if that hot dog in a can thing didn't have the graphics of the bun and was called Vienna Sausage, Americans wouldn't find it unusual.

Vienna Sausages aren't hot dogs, they are similar, but they have a pretty different texture and spicing. They also really aren't that common in the USA either.

Necrofiliate posted:Vienna Sausages aren't hot dogs, they are similar, but they have a pretty different texture and spicing. I will freely admit that I haven't eaten a Vienna Sausage in at least 15 years. However, I would also say that something like a Hebrew National hot dog in no way resembles a Bar S Frank in terms of texture or spicing, and that a Bar S Frank (or other cheap hot dog) far more closely resembles a Vienna Sausage. In terms of texture, it seems like you really have two variables - the filling and the casing. A cheap hot dog and a Vienna Sausage both have the meat puree texture, while higher end hot dogs often have a coarser ground more closely resembling typical sausage. The Vienna Sausage has a very thin casing, while a lot of hot dogs have maybe a bit more of a snap to their casing. I wouldn't say that I have ever noticed much spicing of any sort in a typical low end hot dog or Vienna Sausage. Anyway, a wiener in a can isn't that inherently weird, even as an American. Like yeah, it's not as if we're all gobbling down Vienna Sausages, but every non-ethnic American grocery store carries them and we all pretty much know what they are. The real weirdness of the ones pictured in the OP are the packaging presentation, which makes one stop and wonder if those crazy Europeans actually put bun-on hot dogs in a can.

Sometimes the cheap garbage hot dog is the hot dog you want. Grill 'em on charcoal and they become quite worthy in their own right.

It reminds me of a taco pizza here in the dreary midwest, which is a thin crust pizza with refried beans in place of sauce, taco-spiced ground beef, and cheese. Topped after baking with diced tomato, shredded lettuce, and then a layer of crushed tortilla chips.

On topic: the only American foods I can think of that they sell over here, are things the Americans made their own weird versions of, like pizza and sushi. I've never seen a corndog in real life though, and I'm pretty curious.

No pics as it's been over a year since I've been there, but 90% of potato chips in Switzerland are paprika-flavored. Good, but I think they were somehow even more sweet than I, an American who eats entirely too many sweets, am used to in a tater chip.

Sounds like Barbeque chips, which are good but usually too sweet for me. Need more smoke flavor and vinegar.

I've had coleslaw on a pizza, and while it was a loving awful pizza, the coleslaw was the one bit of it that wasn't a loving terrible idea. Pork belly that is not well-rendered, and chipotle mayonnaise, do not belong on a pizza, it was so gross and greasy and heavy...

Oh, I know the (alleged) lore behind this. American GIs based in Italy in WW2 didn't like the strength of espressos, so would ask for added hot water to make a type of coffee they were more used to, thus we get 'Americano'. Term spread from there.

I'm Vietnamese-American, and my parents would occasionally make "American fried rice" which is just your typical southeast Asian fried rice, with ketchup mixed in while frying and chopped up fried hotdogs and spam.
