American food is Pizza (eastcoast pizzerias, not Pizza Hut), Cheesesteaks, Hotdogs, barbecue ribs (and just about anything else you can fit on a BBQ), Cornbread, pumpkin pie, and don't forget the all American soda pop to drink this all down.
I'm just feeding the trolls here. To all of you who are bagging on Americans for being fat, smelly, stupid and so on, try not stereotyping us before you do so. There are stupid, fat and smelly people in most developed countries. If you actually bothered to look into details there are abundant healthy foods, fresh produce and so on. Yes, I will admit we do enjoy our fast foods. But let me remind you of this. America is a mixing pot of people from all parts of the world. A lot of countries are. A
@73mandala not everything is prosesed in the usa i cant even find that in my store in the U.S.A we r only fat because we eat a lot more than you guys but the thing is that in the store there are bakery's and huge fruit sections and usually those are restocked about 10-15 times a day
Americans eat french fries and wash them down with oil. Is it true? Do Americans smell like cheese? The average American eats 5lbs of fries each day, 5 serves of cake, and a gallon of sweetened soda... true? America is the fattest nation, true?
@sega31098 Exactly, grinding up beef and cooking it is German. Making it a sandwich with vegetables and dressing is American. I doubt the Germans were the first to grind and cook beef either.
@MrCherubhair1 I doubt there's proof the Greeks invented the sandwich. Even then it's a big jump from a Greek sandwich and an American hamburger. Either way all foods have lineages.
@sega31098 There are many truly American foods that we eat all the time, yet many Europeans are oblivious to--such as buffalo wings with celery and ranch dressing. Europeans see a McDonald's and they assume it's what we eat, yet I don't know anyone who eats there because it's good. McDonald's have terrible, dry burgers. It's more of a convenience thing when short on time or money.
it is really hard to say what American food is anymore....it is becoming so diversified. Is American food.....tacos?...lasagna?.....pork fried rice?....
This is hilarious. I've never had the fluff stuff before but I think if I were in Germany I'd buy it. :) How many times can you say, "Oh I bought something from the American aisle at the grocery store."
@CaptM1dnight Having lived in the US and the UK, I agree with you. The UK seems to have much stricter requirements on what kind of preservatives can go into things, although organic and all-natural foods are coming into vogue in the US now (although perhaps for all the wrong reasons).
I think it's funny how the "USA" section consists completely of things I've refused to eat unless made from scratch since I was about twelve years old...
Thats Germany for you! Fresh foods like corn on the cob and (most) types of beef can be bought in other parts of the store. I agree with those asking why dont you just eat German food, and thats usually what I do, but as an American living long term in Germany I have to say you miss some things. Most of what is there is just enough to remind you of home. I wish they had something like this in Munich, but so far I haven't found anything like it.
Awesome. Most of the products pictured have a fairly long shelf life and that is why they are there. Thumbs up for the management of that store for helping Americans who are living / working in Berlin to feel they are welcome and appreciated by being able to buy or just seeing American products, which makes them feel more at home.
thats just the processed stuff, they put that on the shelf becuase its not going to be a great seller in Berlin so they brought in shit that can sit on the shelf for a few years all of those have experation dates of 2 to 4 years!!!
it's sad that this is the first video that pops up when I search for the American cuisine. There are nice products in the US. Unfortunately, they are pricey, and people just can't afford (or don't want to) buy them. People trash corporations, but they all ultimately give in to the low prices. That's jus the way it is. It's kind of funny how the same thing has happened in European countries. Their own companies make trashy foods for their own children.
@cookiemonster9052 For the same reasons that some Germans enjoy their own food even when they live in the US. The German food is OK. It's not as good as other ethnic foods. It's fattening and salty. Not a fan.
Amwerican food?huh what a joke that is.Hamburgers hot dogs and pizza all bastardised shit from what was originally great european food before they ruined it.The americans succeed where is food is concenred in trying to make the whole world as fat as they are on their rotten fast food cusine.This country has given the world a huge dietary problem wioth it's absolute crap food.America dioesn't havwe a cuisine just a cuiscrap!
A good but extremely abbreviated sampling of American food. Where are the apples, oranges, bananas, broccoli, cauliflower, green beens and other fresh produce?
@mymovienerd I wouldn't call those "American" foods since everybody eats them all over the world whereas the Betty Crocker stuff and marshmallow fluff are classic American food items.
@gamehazard101 I was being facetious. But in all seriousness, this doesn't come close to all of the favorites that we have. Some favorites vary from region to region as well . To the idiot that made a remark about the "processed chocolate and condiments". Unless you eat raw cacao seeds you too are eating processed chocolate and who doesn't eat condiments that have been processed in some way. People act as though we Americans invented processed foods.
Note that it's almost all either seasonings or comfort food! Dear God, we Americans would probably STARVE without our ranch dressing, barbeque sauce, hot sauce, spray-can "cheese" and Bisquik!
We have Hellman´s mayonaise in Czech Republic, not as an ethnic food for the US Americans, it is present on our market, no. 1 of our market, producing its mayonaise here, since the earliest years of our capitalism...
What was in between the Hellman's Real Mayo and the Wishbone Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing that sold out? Can anyone make it out? It's at the 1:00 mark.
Yeah American has no food culture--forget Cajun, Creole, Southern soul food, Carolina bbq and specialities, New England cuisine (i.e. crap cake, clam chowder), Tex-Mex, Californian fusion--it's all hotdogs and hamburgers!
That is not all that America has to offer, what about hotdogs or wild rice and not all of America's food are processed with a thousand cemicals or prepakaged. Home made German Chocolate cake beats boxed cake anyday and grill corn on-the-cob will hands down beat canned corn. Nothing beats fresh veggies picked from your very own garden, fresh fish that you caught yourself, or a deer that you froze your ass off to hunt.
"I think its pretty awesome" right... processed foods and all that shit isn't awesome. Its a discrace. No wonder why there are loads of fat people these days.
Just like the "ethnic" sections in US grocery stores don't carry everything we want (I mean, not everything hispanics eat is goya, guys) this is just a slice of american food. It took me three months to find Mountain Dew in Beijing once and I had an impromptu party at my house when I found PBR. Part of being in a foreign country is that you can't find everything you have at home.
i run a warehouse in the netherlands, and we import most of the things in that food section for dutch supermarkets. guess those are the things that are the usual suspects for export from america.
@khammy86 That's so not the point. It's the idea that this is what we are being REPRESENTED BY in the rest of the world. Is Cheeze Whiz and brownie mix really what you want to be representing the US?
@janses07 why the f are you fighting? we all come from different background, religion, and ethnic groups we all think differently and thats just the way it is......it really is useless to fight over the internet
For the record, this is an American speaking. *gasp*
Ok, the selection of the food is not saying "this is all that Americans/people in America eat. I think that the concept is really that these are American brands for people to try out. I mean come on, I dont think that the only place that has chocolate syrup is America. But in France for example, the chocolate syrup probably isn't Hersheys, get it? This video isnt made to make a statement about what Americans eat. it's4fun
And I would believe person being video taped is American, she speaks perfect American English [I know, American English, I said it get over it. -__-]
I dont think that she made this video to say, this is what Americans eat, this is why we are fat! [Which is a pretty lame card people play to slam Americans, usually for no reason.] Why would one person make a video simply to slam her own culture? [I know some people will, but thats a minority.]
Awesome video, I'm an American living in Germany since September and while I really do love German food I would freak out if my local Rewe or Handelshof etc.. had a section like this!
I lived in the USA for a few years in three different cities, in one I remembered seeing a "German food" section along with other nationalities. It was similarly stocked with things that Americans associates with Germany, but not the real standard here in Germany. Things like Nutella, Spätle, Currywurst Catsup, Bahlsen cookies and so on.
I think these American food sections in some stores are really for ex-pat Americans. In Berlin there are living approximately 9000 ex-pat Americans.
That being said, many of these products, in addition to being sold in the specialty American stores, are also sold in "regular" supermarkets -- just under different brand names. Chocolate syrup, sweetened cocoa powder for hot chocolate, brownie and cake mixes, salad dressings, and baking soda are all available.
Also, one more thing I forgot to say -- the main product sold at these stores is actually, believe it or not, bottled corn syrup. You can't get it anywhere else.
Here in Israel, we don't have "ethnic sections" in grocery stores, but we do have mini-markets that specialize in American products -- and their products are almost identical to those shown here! Other staples include Pepperidge Farm cookies, Snyder's pretzels, cheese puffs, Reeses Cups, Hershey's kisses, etc. Mac & cheese is usually sold in regular stores, as are marshmallows, mayo, and Hunt's barbecue sauce.
That selection says more about this so-called "gourmet" grocery store than it does about America.
Calm down, those of you ragging on fat Americans. Americans are certainly fat, but the English, Germans, Australians, etc. aren't so far behind if you look at world obesity rates. And they didn't get that way by eating celery sticks all day.
This video reminds me of when I was in Rome, Italy. There, I noticed that some restaurants had a special menu for Americans. When I asked them why, they told me “because Americans like their Italian food exaggerated, with too much sauce and bigger portions of everything”. That is so true!
I must say that appears to be a very limited range. If you visit London, try Partridges in Sloane Square which has a more developed American food section. Also in Maiden Lane just of Covent Garden the is also a shop which supplies food for Australians, New Zealanders, South Africans, Canadians as well as Americans
LOL, just a small sample of the junk food that is responsible for a typically unhealthy American diet. Most of the junk contains the four basic American food groups; sugar, fat, dead animals and chocolate.
What's the big deal? I will admit, English and European grocery stores are far superior, even to Whole Foods, which I don't think is that great at all. Still, there's nothing humiliating or insulting to Americans in this video. I can think of some real crap to put in that aisle if I wanted to make fun of Americans. I'd put bacon on there, spicy Cheetos, Ginger Ale, crappy Budweiser, peanut butter, Rice Krispie treats, Hot Pockets and Banquet Dinners. This is no big deal!
@interneti dude. you've never been to wegman's. european grocery stores are (normally) small and have a very limited selection -- think ALDI. most american grocery stores top that easily.

@janses07 Changing the subject yet again? The Euro? Are we talking about US aid to foreign interests or are we talking about the purchase power of currency? You really aren't too good at debate. Yes, the purchase power of the Euro is very nice. Too bad it takes the economic support of 16 individual countries unlike the dollar which is the sole currency of 1 single nation. Not to mention that the Euro is only the second most held international reserve note.....after the US dollar.
@janses07 The educated call it "economics". The uneducated attempt to use it as a feeble attempt to make themselves look more intelligent after being caught in lies and being proven wrong on subjects they have little understanding in. But, let's continue. China does most of it's international trade in US dollars. To keep the purchase power of that currency up, China must invest in US currency and bonds. Simple enough for you or do I need to explain further?
@mini14tx1 Fuck You. Dont go blaming Europe for starting world wars. Youre European too. Everyone is except the native Americans that lived here. It was Spain, England, France, and Sweden who colonized America.
You're a fucking moron. Europe didnt start the world wars is what you're saying? So you're trying to tell me that Nazi Germany, which is in EUROPE, didnt invade Poland, which is in EUROPE, on September 1st 1939 which started WWII... or maybe you're trying to say that Gavrilo Princip, a Bosnian-Serb, didn't assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the Autrio-Hungarian throne, sparking WWI? Hmmmm... Seems to me that Europeans Indeed did start the world wars.
@janses07 Does that include the millions of dollars and thousands of aid workers to China 2 years ago after the Myanmar earthquake? Care to change the subject again and see how I respond?
@janses07 Wow, even complaining about the US helping secure a victory in both world wars? Thank you for proving me right. On the behalf of all americans, I apologize that we didn't sacrifice our young men to die keeping Europe free in WW1 and WW2 quick enough to appease you. I also apologize for the needless billions the americans spent in rebuilding the economies of those countries afterward. How selfish of us.
They have ethnic food sections in the U.S. I live in a NY suburb and they have Jewish Chinese, Thai, Brazilian, Hispanic, and West Indian food/ condiments. By the way were are the tv dinners.
lol there's only newman's own ranch dressing in Argentina which is the most expensive brand in a reg supermarket in the U.S,also Campbells soup is 3 times more expensive just like goldfish & ketchup. I recenlty moved here & i miss pizza hut & all those fast food restaurants,all of the frozen meals like stouffers & the hugeee variety of cereals,chips & soda. Oh & the ability to get refills at mcdonalds haha Everything here must be cooked from scratch :( but i dnt work as much so i can cook now
You forgot the American Pizzas(I say American because the Italian, which it derives from is pretty different) and hamburgers, but otherwise.. Yeah, that's about it.. Now I'm a bit embarrassed.^^;
Don't sweat the anti-american comments. When times are good it's "Americans are fat and America sucks", but when the crap hits the fan it's always "America save us and America help us". And, as Americans, we do. Because the rest of the world snobs are too busy spending their time bashing Americans than actually doing anything useful.
@txspeed America is the Jordan/Kobe of the world. Get off the bench and help. As for the "Fat Americans," we send more food/health aid to 3rd world countries than all of the European countries combined.
Wow that stuff is legal in the EU?

Ok, people.
For the record, this is an American speaking. *gasp*
Ok, the selection of the food is not saying "this is all that Americans/people in America eat. I think that the concept is really that these are American brands for people to try out. I mean come on, I dont think that the only place that has chocolate syrup is America. But in France for example, the chocolate syrup probably isn't Hersheys, get it? This video isnt made to make a statement about what Americans eat. it's4fun

@MrGTASA
And I would believe person being video taped is American, she speaks perfect American English [I know, American English, I said it get over it. -__-]
I dont think that she made this video to say, this is what Americans eat, this is why we are fat! [Which is a pretty lame card people play to slam Americans, usually for no reason.] Why would one person make a video simply to slam her own culture? [I know some people will, but thats a minority.]
Get over yourselves and grow up.

Awesome video, I'm an American living in Germany since September and while I really do love German food I would freak out if my local Rewe or Handelshof etc.. had a section like this!
vaseppi 1 year ago
I lived in the USA for a few years in three different cities, in one I remembered seeing a "German food" section along with other nationalities. It was similarly stocked with things that Americans associates with Germany, but not the real standard here in Germany. Things like Nutella, Spätle, Currywurst Catsup, Bahlsen cookies and so on.
I think these American food sections in some stores are really for ex-pat Americans. In Berlin there are living approximately 9000 ex-pat Americans.
dbiehl123 1 year ago
That being said, many of these products, in addition to being sold in the specialty American stores, are also sold in "regular" supermarkets -- just under different brand names. Chocolate syrup, sweetened cocoa powder for hot chocolate, brownie and cake mixes, salad dressings, and baking soda are all available.
Also, one more thing I forgot to say -- the main product sold at these stores is actually, believe it or not, bottled corn syrup. You can't get it anywhere else.
KerenOr1 1 year ago
Here in Israel, we don't have "ethnic sections" in grocery stores, but we do have mini-markets that specialize in American products -- and their products are almost identical to those shown here! Other staples include Pepperidge Farm cookies, Snyder's pretzels, cheese puffs, Reeses Cups, Hershey's kisses, etc. Mac & cheese is usually sold in regular stores, as are marshmallows, mayo, and Hunt's barbecue sauce.
KerenOr1 1 year ago
That selection says more about this so-called "gourmet" grocery store than it does about America.
Calm down, those of you ragging on fat Americans. Americans are certainly fat, but the English, Germans, Australians, etc. aren't so far behind if you look at world obesity rates. And they didn't get that way by eating celery sticks all day.
fansipantz 1 year ago
This video reminds me of when I was in Rome, Italy. There, I noticed that some restaurants had a special menu for Americans. When I asked them why, they told me “because Americans like their Italian food exaggerated, with too much sauce and bigger portions of everything”. That is so true!
FlamencoPuro1 1 year ago
I must say that appears to be a very limited range. If you visit London, try Partridges in Sloane Square which has a more developed American food section. Also in Maiden Lane just of Covent Garden the is also a shop which supplies food for Australians, New Zealanders, South Africans, Canadians as well as Americans

What's the big deal? I will admit, English and European grocery stores are far superior, even to Whole Foods, which I don't think is that great at all. Still, there's nothing humiliating or insulting to Americans in this video. I can think of some real crap to put in that aisle if I wanted to make fun of Americans. I'd put bacon on there, spicy Cheetos, Ginger Ale, crappy Budweiser, peanut butter, Rice Krispie treats, Hot Pockets and Banquet Dinners. This is no big deal!

@janses07 Changing the subject yet again? The Euro? Are we talking about US aid to foreign interests or are we talking about the purchase power of currency? You really aren't too good at debate. Yes, the purchase power of the Euro is very nice. Too bad it takes the economic support of 16 individual countries unlike the dollar which is the sole currency of 1 single nation. Not to mention that the Euro is only the second most held international reserve note.....after the US dollar.

@janses07 The educated call it "economics". The uneducated attempt to use it as a feeble attempt to make themselves look more intelligent after being caught in lies and being proven wrong on subjects they have little understanding in. But, let's continue. China does most of it's international trade in US dollars. To keep the purchase power of that currency up, China must invest in US currency and bonds. Simple enough for you or do I need to explain further?

Hmmmm... Seems to me that Europeans Indeed did start the world wars.

On the behalf of all americans, I apologize that we didn't sacrifice our young men to die keeping Europe free in WW1 and WW2 quick enough to appease you. I also apologize for the needless billions the americans spent in rebuilding the economies of those countries afterward. How selfish of us.

Don't sweat the anti-american comments. When times are good it's "Americans are fat and America sucks", but when the crap hits the fan it's always "America save us and America help us". And, as Americans, we do. Because the rest of the world snobs are too busy spending their time bashing Americans than actually doing anything useful.
