It's disgusting, that's what! They do some weird shit to food over here.

Jin's comment about pumpkin pie being more savory that SP pie made me wonder if she's interprreting the question the same as I am. When I've commented on sweet/savory here (meaning main course (not sweet)/dessert (sweet) ) several people have taken savory to me tasty/flavorful/not bland rather than not sweet. maybe something to do with maple syrup being considered an natural accompaniment to sausages and bacon, carrots in jello being viewed as a classic dish and potatoes with marshmallows and other stuff a must-have at thanksgiving. (sorry guys, love you and your country and all, but mixing the sweet and savory foods -eeeeewwww. )

Not all Americans like sweet and savory together. Me and my SO both think that particular practice is disgusting. I never understood the desire to have cranberry relish with your turkey at Thanksgiving as well... not tasty. Not tasty at all! Maybe I should move down to Australia to get away from it all.
