This is a list off the internet. I don't even know what a 'Red Velvet Cake' is, but we have plenty of other lousy, mushy cakes in America that should be called something different. Perhaps 'Hazardous Waste'?
I will come to the defense of 'Peanut Butter & Jelly'. It is one of nature's best foods. Until Europe adapts PB & J AND Colored Comics on Sunday, they will never qualify as fully civilized.
Now we can be proud of the variety of American cheeses, not just the plastic 'Spray Cheese'. Our cheeses are fully as good as anything that 'Hoechst High Chem' can produce in Europe. Selling these cheeses extends the life of our Haz-Mat special land fills and forms the basis for American Waggle-Pudding fat people (aka 'Walmart People'; Google it if you have a strong stomach).
I am surprised they have bacon and eggs on the list.
Finally, the most glaring missing item on the list is 'Pumpkin Pie'. I NEVER met a European who would have a second bite!

10 All-American Foods That Foreigners Can't Stand
Red Velvet Cake
Red Velvet Cake Red velvet cake does not sit well with many foreigners. They dislike it because it is packed with chemicals and food coloring.
Red Velvet Cake Many think that is tastes bland and that the only flavor coming through is the artificial coloring taste. They would much prefer a true chocolate or vanilla cake.
Grocery Bread
Grocery Bread Fresh bread all the way! Many who live outside of the U.S. think breads here (including hamburger and hot dog buns) are too sweet as it contains quite a bit of sugar and often high fructose corn syrup.
Grocery Bread In other countries, bread is more wholesome and less full of artificial ingredients, making it taste fresher and more hearty.
Biscuits and Gravy
Biscuits and Gravy There is nothing like a creamy sausage gravy with soft buttermilk biscuits. This southern comfort food is definitely not a staple in other countries.
Biscuits and Gravy Foreigners find this breakfast has too much sodium and they cannot stomach the thought of sausage, flour, and milk together.
Biscuits and Gravy To be fair, it doesn't always look very appetizing.
Peanut Butter & Jelly
Peanut Butter & Jelly One all-American, kid-friendly food that foreigners love to hate is peanut butter. Now add jelly to that (as most of us do) and you have a double whammy of hate.
Peanut Butter & Jelly Many Europeans strongly dislike the combination and don't understand why it is such a popular lunch staple in the U.S.
Grits
Grits Grits are a common breakfast food found mostly in the southern U.S. They consist of mostly water and ground corn. Granted the consistency as well as the taste is a little odd, and if you didn't grow up eating it, might seem strange.
American Chocolate
Chocolate Unbelievably, many foreigners do not like the taste of chocolate in America. For example, some of them claim that our chocolate has a processed taste, is not sweet enough, and can be dusty, similar to old chocolate that has gone bad.
Chocolate The major difference lies in the cocoa and sugar content.
Bacon and Eggs
Bacon and Eggs Those who live outside the U.S. find that bacon and eggs are just not a suitable breakfast and on top of that, they do not enjoy the greasy bacon taste.
Bacon and Eggs Breakfast in other countries normally consists of something light, such as fresh fruit and some type of biscuit or croissant.
Bacon and Eggs The traditional idea of breakfast is very different in America.
Spray Cheese
Spray Cheese Foreigners are not very fond of American cheeses because they come packed with salt and most are very processed. This imitation cheese is a cheaper, lower quality version of traditional cheese and those from other countries would never dream of using it.
Spray Cheese In fact, you cannot find many of the traditional American cheese in other countries.
Casseroles
Casseroles Many folks from other countries are used to eating many dishes at every meal and just one dish doesn't cut it. Others are turned off by the soups we use in them to help bind them.
Casseroles These soups are full of sodium and by the time you add crackers and crushed chips, it is a salt explosion.
Cereal
Cereal Many popular cereals in America are packed full of sugar, refined carbs and lack proper nutrition. They are also highly processed and contain different chemicals and color dyes.
Cereal This is often a turn off to many foreigners.
