What's your country's equivalent?

Just a foodstuff that is relatively popular in your country, specific to your country and fairly unpopular anywhere else

Not so much the mayo itself, but the ridiculous quantities of it we use.

I feel like Finns could handle the bitterness, with our palette already being... odd.
>>
>>59556320
Are those like little liquorice things? And if you do get the chance, I highly recommend Vegemite. Just a little bit smeared on some buttered toast is amazing
>>

Vegemite isn't actually all that bitter, just really salty

it reminds me of miso

it really isn't that bad.
The mistake foreigners make is that they eat it straight out of the jar and it puts them off completely.
You're supposed to have it spread LIGHTLY on buttered toast

>>59556387
That's almost a litre of mayo wtf
>>
>>59556372
like hot sauce; a little more spicy than any other non mexican sauce sold here, and less spicy than mexican habanero sauces.
It has a citric flavor and is not very condimented, so flavor-wise is compatible with any kind of food.

>>59556553
you can buy that amount at Aldi. Its better value for money, coz it lasts longer.

Salmiakki = Kind of salty liquorice

Similar to Vegemite, most people tasting it the first time seem to hate it (atleast according youtube videos)
>>
Peanut Butter

which, unlike gross cheese spray, is healthy and tasty

>>59556545
I mean, fair enough but, aldi is weird. Safeway is where it's at

Is Salmiakki just licorice?

I tell you what, continentals and the nordics know how to do licorice.

I had some Belgian toffee licorice with chunks of sea salt in it and it was amazing

>>
>>59556733

Salty liquorice, also known as salmiak or salmiakki (in Finland), is a variety of liquorice flavoured with ammonium chloride, common in the Nordic countries, the Netherlands, and northern Germany. Ammonium chloride gives salty liquorice an astringent, salty taste.

i don't think ive ever been to one. Aldi is cheap as fuck and has great quality shit. My famalam probs saves $200 per big shop from what the same shit would cost at coles or woolies

I pick both

>Peanut butter is an excellent source (> 19% of the Daily Value, DV) of protein, dietary fiber, vitamin E, pantothenic acid, niacin and vitamin B6 (table, USDA National Nutrient Database).[12][13] Also high in content are the dietary minerals manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc and copper (table).[12][13] Peanut butter is a good source (10–19% DV) of thiamin, iron and potassium (table).

Peanut butter is healthy in that it's a nutritionally dense way to get healthy fats and some little protein into a diet where weight gain is important (bodybuilders, anorexics, food support for overseas)

This has been translated into a meme where peanut butter is healthy like cabbage and lentil stew is healthy to sell candy bars like pic related. Also, the Dutch eat a shitload of it, so it's not strictly an American phenomenon.

I'd lean towards yellow deli mustard for the quintessential American condiment

hmm interesting

I'll see if I can get any here, but I doubt it will be reasonably priced. I'm flying through Germany in two or 3 weeks so hopefully I might be able to get some there.

I always thought it was just salt, but the fact it's been flavoured with ammonium chloride sounds interesting

they are a cornerstone in Australian cuisine. there are whole shops devoted to meat pies. Beef, and chunky beef are the best. If you come over, you must try one!

Noh... Oh man it isn't bad at all. It's just that the sharply salty (almost tingly) feeling on the tongue puts people off, I think.

That shit is like my drug: when eating it I just savour every neural impulse. I love it

>>59557474

Kalles or smoked creamed cod roe. Most of it is probably off putting to someone not used to it. From it's pink color, to its fishy smell, salty flavor, grainy texture and fact that it comes in a fucking tube. It's really good though.

Not sure to be honest. A lot of people aren't fans of the sweet and fish flavours being together, it seems.

Some places also smoke the fish. So I guess I could be that. But imo the smoked ones are the best.

>"Kofola originated in the Czechoslovak pharmaceutical company Galena, n.p. (located in Opava, now Czech Republic) in 1959 during research targeted at finding a possible use for surplus caffeine produced in the process of coffee roasting. The resulting dark-coloured, sweet-and-sour syrup Kofo became the main ingredient of a new soft drink named Kofola introduced in 1960. During the 1960s and 1970s Kofola became exceedingly popular in communist Czechoslovakia because it substituted for Western cola-based drinks like Coca-Cola or Pepsi, which were not generally available.
>"Kofo syrup, the main ingredient of Kofola, consists of 14 natural ingredients (such as extracts from apple, cherry, currant, or herbal aroma), sugar and/or high fructose corn syrup (2014), and caramel. In comparison with Pepsi or Coca-Cola it contains 30% less sugar, ~56% more caffeine (15 mg/100ml, Coca-Cola 9.6 mg/100ml) and it does not contain phosphoric acid.[5][6]"

No marmalade here, instead we have our type of jam - вapeньe. It's prepared in such a way that berries remain more or less undamaged. Gooseberry jam is probably the coolest one we have.
