Foods that make you go “Hmmm”

Hamburger. Typically beef. Rarely a mix of beef and pork. NEVER ham.

Hot dog—not dog at all. Not saying anyone knows what’s in there, but definitely not dog.

French fries. Not French.

Milkshake. Not shaken.

Pizza—what they hell does that even mean?

Eggplant. Really?

Egg roll. Neither an egg nor is it rolled.

It kind of is rolled. If you’re doing it right.

Root beer? Please.

I don’t think the posters above have quite grasped the question asked by OP.

Shoo-fly pie and apple pan dowdy

Oh, do enlighten us.

r12 you beat me to it!

Sorry, but I'm drawing a blank.

Shut up, R13.

The dolts ruin a thread with possibilities.

Grapenuts. No grapes nor nuts.

Velveeta. What is this pasteurized processed cheeselike substance, and why is it so damn tasty with tortilla chips?

R5: "Why is it called Pizza? It's widely speculated that pizza came from the Greek word “pitta,” which means “pie” ; however some historians believe that pizza came from the Langobardic word “bizzo,” which means “bite.”

My own input: The first pizza was made with mozzarella cheese, tomato sauce and fresh basil to represent the colors of the Italian flag.

Is this you, OP?

Welsh Rabbit.

Open-faced grilled cheese?

[quote] Grapenuts. No grapes nor nuts.

No, but they kinda look like the big seeds in certain grapes; similar crunchiness as well.

tofu

Is that short for toe fungus?

[quote] Mine: Salisbury Steak. I like it, but I don’t think it’s steak.

It's just ground beef, formed into a "steak."

Salisbury steak is more than hamburger, it has egg and breadcrumbs mixed into it. Why, I don’t know.

Deviled eggs. Are they evil?

Broiled boneless chicken thighs.

Poultry thighs in any form.

Um ... I don't eat weird creepy mystery foods.

R23 is not quick.

Those “steaks” they sell from the back of the truck in the mall parking lot. Apparently it’s multiple cuts of beef “glued” together. 🤢

[quote]My own input: The first pizza was made with mozzarella cheese, tomato sauce and fresh basil to represent the colors of the Italian flag.

I like your thinking but I thought that the first pizzas didn't have tomato sauce on them. I could certainly be wrong.

R32 the first pizza had tomato on it, but not cheese.

The Holy Eucharist

Easy cheese, how did they put it into the can.

[quote] Um ... I don't eat weird creepy mystery foods.

So, chicken nuggets?

Peanutbutta whin my mouf is stulk togetha, mm?

Uncrustables. What is the point? Is it that hard to slap some PB&J on bread?

To R26, YES, they are EVIL...Evilly delicious!!

Phillywhore r39 nooooooooooooo they ARE evil. Utterly, inedible eeeeevil

To be frank I hate anything similar - wet,cold canapé

Spam or tofu

I will not eat tofu or sushi (no raw fish).

However, R41...I adore Spam and have made "Spam deviled eggs with bacon" and Spam & eggs for breakfast!!

Bugles corn snacks-I love them but they are so hazardous to one’s health. Salt,coconut oil,sugar Oy…

Someone said spam-I’m in love with canned corned beef (product of Argentina) so dangerous but I eat it twice a year.

Circus Peanuts

They’re so mysterious.

Fruit Slices- I used to LOVE those.

They're not fruit nor made from fruit .

Cheetos are pretty mysterious, yet I like eating them.

Minced meat, there’s no meat and not really minced.

Raspberry Zingers

There are no raspberries in the product.

A lot of those beef patty thingies have a distinct "organ meat" taste, including those frozen uncooked burgers.

Anything Stouffer's.

Apple Jacks

There no apples in them nor do they resemble apples or taste in any way like apples.

R44 it's funny that corned beef/spam is from Argentina because we NEVER eat it here. It's almost non existant and impossible to find. We eat REAL meat.
