Looking at that list, pizza strips and american chop suey don't deserve to be anywhere near some of the garbage in there.

Bullshit. Also, how can anyone not like American chop suey?? It’s pasta with meat.

In addition to pizza strips getting rooked on this list, that Canadian Pizza Cake sounds awesome.

Musk Stick, Deviled Kidneys, Fried Spider, and Bake & Shark perhaps belong here... But I've had some good-ass tuna casserole, American chop suey, and choco-bacon.

Wtf is a pizza strip. I've lived here my whole life and never heard of it. If it's that shitty cold square crap with sauce and no cheese it belongs on the list. It sucks and should not be called pizza.

It's on the same list as American Chop suey... so obviously meant to be disregarded

Rightly so.

I call Pizza Strips (aka Party Pizza), the poor man's pizza.

I'm offended that Chocolate-Covered Bacon is on here because 1. I've only ever had it at an authentic Austrian restaurant and 2. It's delicious

Also I'm from Pennsylvania originally and that food is WAAAY worse. Scrapple. Altoona-style Pizza. How did those not make the list?!

I refuse to give credit to any list where they’re comparing pizza strips to fried spiders. Fine fucking line I draw there

i will say pizza strips do come in tiers. some are excellent, some are dry and not great.

i think god tier are the "pizza chips" that are the same concept just crispier and round. depetrillos. find me any person that can deny the addictiveness!! find me one!

How is American Chop Suey on there? Pasta, ground beef, tomato sauce, peppers and onions, what’s there not to like?

Chicken riggies or Utica riggies is an Italian-American pasta dish native to the Utica-Rome area of New York State.[1][2] Although many variations exist, it is a pasta-based dish typically consisting of chicken, rigatoni, and hot or sweet peppers in a spicy cream and tomato sauce.

Who would hate that??? (Minus the lactose intolerant)

Hey, don’t you say that about scrapple! Lol

Every time I go home for the holidays I try to come back with a brick of that stuff. My fiancé will leave the kitchen if I’m cooking that or pork roll. Her loss 🤷‍♀️

Pizza strips from a real bakery are mouthwatering.

Interesting to see no. 39 Musk Stick here -- I'm on my cell and can't make out the flag but it's probably Australia or maybe New Zealand.

I only learned recently (on a fragrance sub) that it's common to use musk as a flavoring there -- like the same musk as The Body Shop White Musk, or Jovan. As food flavoring for kids sweets. Huh.

I don’t understand how American chop suey and pizza strips are on this in all honesty. The worst I’ve had of both of these are still a ton better than some of the atrocities I’ve seen come out of the Mid West. Lutefisk? Potato salad with raisins? Ambrosia salad? Jello molds or anything with aspic?!

Why is American Goulash on that list? That’s comfort food for me. Also, American Chop Suey and Goulash are the same thing.

Tuna casserole? My wife's tuna casserole is a reason for celebration. I bring it to company parties and there are no leftovers. Perhaps her recipe is some sort of secret.

Pizza Strips are good if you get them from the right Italian bakery. Not pizza at all though. It's a good focaccia type crust with a tangy red sauce. You can taste the olive oil on the slightly crunchy crust. My nephews live in upstate New York and when they come to visit Rhode Island they buy boxes of strips to take home and bring to school to sell to their classmates. The kids in New York are wild over them which is saying something because New York has decent pizza. After holidays their friends approach them to find out if they visited Rhode Island so they can get to the strips before they're gone.

The caveat is that there are some absolutely dreadful examples of pizza strips in Rhode Island. You have to find the right bakery or don't bother.

American chop suey is the "I have to feed multiple children on a limited budget" dish. I ate so much growing up that I yuck at the thought as an adult.

I have the same reaction to beef stew but that was because my mom would overcook it and the veggies all turned to mush.

For me, green peppers overpower a lot of things. This is one of them.

I like them raw, sometimes. Sausage and peppers works.

Pasta + meat = one of the best things

Pasta + meat + diced green peppers = not so much

I wonder if this is the reason anyone other than me doesn't dig on ACS.

Some people really hate Pizza Strips and these people are wrong. Like I understand not liking something but some people get offended by them like you insulted their mother.

A lot of this hate I think come from what people expect from the word Pizza. All the haters say “it’s not pizza”. Now most of these people do like “normal” pizza. So at some level they like bread, and they like sauce, they just don’t like the combination of just the two. There are some who would think differently of pizza strips if they were called “sauced Foccacia” . Even more people would like the taste of the sauce and the crust separately but the combo does weird things to their brain . It’s especially strange considering that the sauce on a quality pizza strip is typically vastly more flavorful than that of a “Normal” pizza.

People say pizza strips aren’t pizza and I would say that this is both biased and historically inaccurate…Pizza strips have more pizza heritage than a lot of what we Americans pass off as Pizza. Pizza comes from the Naples region. Southern Italy is/was poor and does not have much of a dairy industry. Pizza strips are a practical implementation of pizza given available resources. Not having cheese is a feature (not a bug) so it has a better texture when cold and is significantly cheaper.

neanderthalsavant t1_j7hz724 wrote

I'm just gonna venture that whoever wrote this list has never, ever traveled to these countries and tried these dishes in person.

Like "American tuna casserole" is one of the top 50 worst dishes in the world? Let's be real American tuna casserole (atc) is middling at best, but it certainly isn't awful. And if at made it into the top 50, what of the others?

It seems they’ve forgotten that u need a little bit of sand in your pizza strip in order to make it good.

I absolutely love pizza strips best beach / picnic snack ever they remind me very much of my late Meme.
