    Aren’t we all so glad America is invested in real manly food like purple beef patties instead of weak effeminate shit like vegetables, or flavor

      America is so ignorant when it comes to food, its scary. Someone really thinks they get nutrition from slop like this, or it wouldnt exist.

      And you are right, so much of American food has zero flavour, zero spices, zero veggies or fruits. Many things just have salt, sugar, butter and oils - thats American “food.”

        Hey we’re not all in the midwest… hahah - but no. America being a true melting pot means that we have access to every cuisine the world has to offer. The best part of that is the lack of conquest - we didn’t go steal the worlds’ best food, for a long time (not now unfortunatley) we opened our arms to people fleeing your country, and let them come here and succeed, opening restaraunts, food carts, shops, etc - and my tastebuds are eternally grateful!

          “a true melting pot” yet one of the most xenophobic countries in the world these days. So much for open arms 😢

            The US is larger than your entire continent. Would you say Italy has shit food because you saw a photo of a shitty English breakfast? Of course not.

            Actually, it’s worse than that since you’re basing this on food exports. Not even close to the same thing as eating food at an restaurant in the US

                Literally the best restaurants on the planet are in the US, but sure, go off.

                Like you understand that I’m not talking about fucking Applebee’s right?

                  Not really sure where you’re getting that assertion from.

                  By total number of Michelin stars the US isn’t even top five. By Michelin stars per capita it doesn’t even break top twenty.

                  And even if you don’t buy into Michelin’s hype, the William Reed world best for 2025 is in Peru. In fact, not one American restaurant made their top ten last year.

                  There’s obviously no objective measure of best when it comes to food, but those are two of the most widely accepted gold standards.

                  The US has plenty of great restaurants, and plenty of great food, but saying they’re the best in the world seems like a bit of a stretch.

              US is larger, but also has a population smaller then just the European Union, so what? EU standards on food quality are pretty basic. Like we don’t like chlorine in stuff we plan to eat. And yeah, they ritchest people get better food, and you got the most oligarchs? Whoa, great argument. Still prefer to go to the local bazar with shady food stalls and know anything I get there is most likely times better quality and less polluted than most of what you could possibly get in US. Smacznego.
