An American viewer of My Kitchen Rules has taken to social media with a list of complaints about the 2024 season of the popular cooking competition.
The Reddit user slammed the participants for trying to prepare American “diner” food.
And they also threw shade at contestants Hannah and Lawrence.
“Babes” is the most disgusting word ever, the American MKR fan lamented in the post, which seemed to refer to the fact that the Perth couple used the word as a term of endearment on the show.
The user also “defended” a popular American confection called Reese’s Cups, a candy product made from chocolate with a peanut butter filling.
‘Stop hating chocolate and peanut butter. Reese’s cups are one of God’s gifts to the world,” they thundered in the post.

They also had something to say about the way people from Down Under were trying to tackle the famous American cuisine – even though no one was trying to serve up the American ‘classic’ chicken and waffles this season.
“It’s hilarious to see a bunch of Aussies trying American food,” the user said, which may have been a reference to Rob and Liam’s dinner date.
That episode featured sticky pork ribs and beef cheek tacos, although Armchair America wasn’t specific in its critique of recipes this season.
They continued, “I promise, chicken and waffles are amazing, especially when accompanied by fried green tomatoes.
“The most authentic would have been SOS, but that is even difficult for some Americans to accept.”
SOS, which means Sh** on a Shingle, consists of seasoned beef on toast.
Finally, the American MKR fan seemed baffled as to why Aussies use a kettle to boil water.
‘I still don’t understand the obsession with the kettle. I think it’s because we drink a lot more coffee than tea.’

A helpful viewer joined the thread to explain why many Aussies use a kettle.
‘Here’s the deal with kettles: American homes have 120V power, Australians have 240V.
‘A kettle is just a heated element in water. The reason Yanks don’t usually use electric kettles is because they take forever to cook on 120V power.
‘An Australian 240V kettle literally boils twice as fast. And considerably more energy efficient than other ways of heating water.’
Meanwhile, the same users seemed to agree with some of the complaints from American armchair critics.
‘Yes, unfortunately Aussies are bad at American food.’
Another Reddit user also took a swipe at Aussie slang.
“Babes really is the most annoying word.”
Quite a few other users got into a debate about American chocolate and its international competitors.
“Reese’s peanut butter cups are absolutely gross because American chocolate tastes disgusting. I’ve lived in the US but will never eat American chocolate again,” the Reddit user said.
American chocolate is literally made of vomit, yuck, you deserve better,” said another. “Good chocolate and good peanut butter are great, though.”
MKR has reached a broad American audience through the streaming service Amazon Prime Video.
