Uh-uh, America doesn't taste like that

There's nothing American about hot dogs in a jar, floating in juice like something grody from your high school science class.

Low-rent grocery chain Lidl is running a special "Taste of America" promotion offering foods that say "American Way" on the label. Must be true if it says it on the tin, right? Wrongo.

It's mostly junk food, and even while it's seemingly American staples, UK versions of things sold as "American Style" rarely taste like anything you'd pick up at Safeway.

The preparation varies, too. Note the cucumbers on top of the icky jar-juice hot dogs. Eeeewwww gurgle sputter choke.....
