What is this thread even about?

It's about people with too much time on their hands, obviously.

Eh, we've "americanized" almost all international cuisine to the point that it is American. "italian" food like lasagna, Tex-mex, giant sushi rolls with everything in them, chinese take out, etc.

Just thinking about this weeks meal plan… we’re ok for tonight (vegetable soup and homemade bread), and the zucchini pasta doesn’t have any international ingredients (except black pepper). Everything else would suffer in flavor.

This is what I assumed the OP meant. Many people would be dead because we import most of our pharmaceuticals and medical equipment. Boomers would be obliterated, child mortality would go back to the 1930s, more women would die in child birth etc etc.

Do not eat spices, racist people. Do not eat idli, curries, arepas, tacos, burritos, or spaghetti.

Somehow I don't think the indigenous peoples of America ate hot dogs with white buns. The xenophobic nuts can eat pemmican and succotash.

Italians stole tomatoes from us. The food in Italy isn't Italian if it uses tomatoes.

This is not a serious question but yes, there are Native American restaurants. Frybread, venison, turkey, fish, corn bread, wild rice, squash, berries.

No frybread. That is a relic of when the Indian agents would give reservations flour once a year as part of treaty agreements since hunting was no longer a viable option to feed people.

There's a lot of other foods. Wild onions, morel mushrooms, nuts, different kinds of roots and greens, other wild fruits besides berries.

Most of the food we eat is already international cuisine because it comes from crops that were not native to begin with.

Frybread is absolutely a thing Native American people eat, in addition to the things you and I mentioned. Some chefs may not serve it because of history, but it's widely served and eaten.

I think we could go back to producing a lot more here in our country. But prices would rise a lot. We have a lot of consumable products that are inexpensive because land, labor, and other resources are cheap in other countries. But we could make them here if customers would pay more.

That said, it's very expensive to change production sites back and forth.

My industry is busy writing down billions in assets because of changes in administration policy. Nobody knows if it's prudent to invest with current circumstances in mind. The current rules may only last for 4 more years. Whipsawing businesses around wastes money.
