The United States. Apparently it's a very niche thing over there ๐คท
The weird thing is that it's super commonplace over here, so lots of people do enjoy it. There are a lot of different kinds of potato salad and I'm betting the mega-Karen in the OP is referring to the kind that is pretty much just potatoes in mayo (which, for the record, is disgusting).
Maybe I'm lucky because I live near Pennsylvania Dutch country, but there's an abundance of good potato salad here.
not at all, it's a summertime staple in many places. Unfortunately it's also fucking gross, right up there with coleslaw - you took something good, like a tater or some lettuce AND FUCKED IT ALL UP and left it wet and nasty.
I most certainly did NOT! Danish potato salad is fucking delicious! Nothing like the miracle whip and corn syrup monstrosity that's being referred to here!
you in the perpetrator sense, not you in the personal sense. sorry if that wasn't communicated.
Yeah I know, was just funnier to pretend that I didn't ๐
All kidding aside, though, you have to try Scandinavian/German style potato salad! That shit is SO good!
I think it's because of Americanized potato salad. The kind with miracle whip and tons of corn syrup. I've had mayo based salads like this and it makes me want to puke (as an American lol)
I think this plays with the stereotype that weird eccentric middle aged people like weird/gross food. Sort of like jello salad coincidentally (search it up, it is foul).
lived most of my life in the midwest and southern US, never ever seen anyone put corn syrup in potato salad. doesn't mean it doesn't happen, but what the fuck yo
๐คฎ That's not potato salad! I demand a reinheitsgebot like with German beer!
That's fair
