[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]American food, period. [/quote]

What don't you understand? 
And do you mean specific items that were invented in America only, like the ice cream cone? [/quote]

Why is it so gross in terms of fat, and dominance of highly fatty meats and ridiculously sugary desserts to the point of nausea?  American style cheesecake is nasty.  How can anyone possibly eat a slice of it and say they feel good after it?  Take another example, peach cobbler, all of the cupcakes, various pies…..American desserts are always sooooooo ridiculously sugary, heavy, and just flat out gross. Go to countries with great food cultures like Japan, India, Italy, France, etc. and you’ll see their sweets are often no where near as heavy and sickeningly sweet.  Something as grotesque like cheesecake factory or Cinnabon would not be invented in those countries. It’s just weird how Americans love bags of sugar for dessert.

Portion sizes alone make American food weird.  Why are you getting enough food for 3.5 people as a dish at many American restaurants?  Super weird. The coke sizes alone at a fast food place?  Weird.

I also don’t understand the appeal of Thanksgiving dinner.  Everything tastes like cardboard, it’s super fatty and almost all carbs and fat with very little balance of flavors.  Bland junk. Other foods like potato and macaroni salads, tuna salads, chicken salads, deviled eggs….gross gross gross.  Why are these staples at American parties ?  Basically, throw a ton of mayo into stuff and call it a salad.  So gross.   Don’t even put a plate with green bean casserole in front of me. Yet another disgusting garbage dish.

American foods are weird, because there really aren’t too many dishes and many other ones are basically invented by major food corporations to use as many of their products as possible.  Pumpkin pie?  lol.  What a garbage pie, because you know you’re all using highly processed factory crap like canned pumpkin, condensed milks etc.  So many ‘American foods’ are simply dishes invented by corporations and are nothing more than highly processed junk.

Here’s an idea. How about you leave America and this thread?  [/quote]
