[quote=Anonymous]OP, you cannot compare a more homogeneous country's culture (regarding food or anything) to the US. They aren't equal.

In the US there is a broad variety of food cultures because we are a large country with a ton of immigrant communities and traditions, plus big regional differences. So there is no one American food culture. If you live in the DC area this should be abundantly obvious.

It's just apples and oranges. When you chose to move to the US, you were accepting that you were moving to a diverse country with more varied culture. One of the benefits of that is that you can bring your food culture from your home country here and, assuming you live in one of the more diverse parts of the country, no one cares that you might eat different foods or in a different way than they do. You also have the option here of adopting new food traditions and interests which likely would have been harder in your home country with its more established and distinct food cultures.

There are pluses and minuses to both approaches.[/quote]
