[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are lots of threads like this one but the worst comments are always the people who generalize everything "American". You're not a snob; you're ignorant. [/quote] Yes, don't call it "American". The word "American" cannot stand for everything that is in poor taste or lacking in manners, culture or education. American cannot stand for ugliness, stupidity and boorishness. [/quote] I alluded to this in a prior comment, but American cuisine is highly diverse and an American insinuating that American food is just McDonald’s and generally sweet, processed foods demonstrates an odd mix of classism and lack of knowledge (or just forgetfulness). Crab bakes. Gumbo. Various barbecue styles. Text Mex. American Indian “tacos.” Chicago deep dish pizza. Soul food. Clam chowder. I don’t expect non-American to have a familiarity with regional American cuisine but I think Americans should know about it and take it into consideration when discussing American foods. [/quote] Spot on, other than the reference to Chicago deep dish "pizza," which, in the words of Jon Stewart, is an affront to God and man and all things holy. [/quote] 😂😂😂 fair enough! [/quote]
