The only thing on that list I eat is peanut butter. I used to have a slice of pumpkin pie after thanksgiving dinner, but rarely anymore. Most of the rest is disgusting food. Who the hell eats corn dogs?

I actually agree with a number of those, and I'm American. However, real, natural peanut butter and sausage gravy and biscuits are delicious.
Hot dogs, Cheese Whiz, white sandwich bread? Yuck.
Gross food from other lands:
Marmite
Vegemite
Spotted Dick
Blood pudding
Haggis

I'm American, but the only things I'd eat from that list are Fritos and chili, without making them into a "pie." I also like root beer floats, though I don't think I've had one in the last 15 years. I might like grits, but I've never had them.
All the rest are foods I don't like, especially pumpkin pie, hot dogs, and Velveeta.

Just call your grits "polenta" and it will be acceptable to non-Americans.

As an Appalachian native, I love grits, sausage gravy and biscuits, and chicken-fried steak. I rarely eat any of these, but every few years I might have one. I know I am an outlier with regard to peanut butter, but it is seldom that I have it. My mom didn't stock it while I was growing up, so I never got into it. Lastly, a few weeks ago I was in the market and saw a seasoning packet for sloppy joes. I hadn't eaten one for over thirty years, but I bought that and some hamburger buns, and enjoyed a couple sloppy joes that night.
The rest of the list is meh, but I'm not fervently opposed to pumpkin or rhubarb pie, though the latter contains way too much sugar. Corn dogs and hotdogs? Sure, if the situation is right. Sandwich bread and Jello? I don't eat them, but understand why some people do.
Nothing on there is terrible, but it is not like Americans eat that stuff often. Most of it is a once-a-year or less stuff. You always hear about the whacky stuff as if it shows up on dinner plates several nights a week.

I love loose meat sandwiches. Maid-Rite was a popular chain restaurant in the Midwest. It’s a recipe that’s easy to recreate.

US foods that are popular elsewhere tend to be easily available in most countries (hamburgers). The less popular one's (biscuits & gravy) much less so.
It's the same with cuisine from most places.

And from a few months ago:
Summary:
Peanut butter
Bad cheese
Biscuits and gravy (a hardsell to anyone not born American, rural, white, and poor)
And my addition, foods with too many ingredients -- Americans think if one type of cheese is good, 5 is fantastic; raw onions, fried onions, AND onion rings? Fantabulous sauce on sauce? Hell yeah. Carrots cake made with carrots, lemon, beets, and cauliflower? Oh yeah! Secret BBQ sauces with 63 ingredients. Your Greek grandmother's famous spinakopita + tiropita + moussaka stuffing + curried Ranch Dressing + the whole thing floating on a reservoir of molten 5-cheeses? Exactly that. Less is bad. More is good. Who cares if none of it is in season, always, always, always add more shit

Biscuits and gravy is eaten by both blacks and whites in the south and by non-poor city folk too. It's not a daily thing though. I might indulge a few times a year if I'm in a good diner.

Cheese Whizz is an abomination. R4 have you ever had spotted dick?

R37 Yep, it is like the difference between Natalie Dupree and Paula Dean. Dupree says of course she eats and grew up eating the type of things Dean does on her shows, but they were/are occasional things. You don't eat biscuits and gravy for breakfast every morning and then fried chicken for lunch everyday, but that is the stereotype that has developed of Southern cuisine.

R40 A hot dog weiner is put on a stick, it is then battered usually in a corn bread batter, and deep fried. It is mainly popular with children and with people attending a fun fair.
