Has anyone eaten that since 1974?

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

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.

Well aren’t you a peach. Why so many anti American anything threads lately?

Most people don't like the items you list here either, but why make a blanket statement that they are "American" and "Americans" all eat them as staples? That doesn't help the discussion at all.

Yeah sure, judging by the obesity levels in the U.S., I’m sure no one eats those foods nor the obscene portion sizes.

Yeah right. Go to a bbq place. A typical obese American will order ribs, brisket, turkey or some combo thereof, Mac and cheese, cornbread, collard greens, maybe some baked beans, and some good ‘ol peach cobbler and a sweet tea or lemonade to wash it all that obesity down. Who in their sane mind would eat 400% DV for saturated fat intake and sodium, virtually zero nutrients out of salt/fat/carbs and call it a proper dinner? It’s so gross. How can anyone roll out of a joint like that and feel good about it? Even eating American made breads is like consuming a bag of sugar. It’s nasty.

Go to Italy and order a plate of pasta. It will be like 1/3rd the size of what you’d get in the U.S. and it is very rarely swimming in cheese. Or go to almost any kind of restaurant across Asia and order a plate of food…the sizes are just way smaller than the U.S. because they are appropriate serving sized plates of food. U.S. food is just weird in terms of balance of nutrients, flavors, and sizes. It’s allllllll fat fat fat fat carbs carbs carbs sugar sugar sugar more sugar and let me give you 3.5 servings of it. Very little balance of salty, sweet, spicy, umami and sour. Don’t entirely blame Americans though, because they were started by the British after all.

Why don't you start your own (another, sigh) thread bashing specifically American food?
You don't seem to deem the food weird, and you seem to understand it? So not a good fit for this thread.

It is weird. America has an obesity problem that’s severe, yet you do nothing about the portion sizes and nutritional content of your foods. That makes it weird. It’s like watching a car wreck over and over again, knowing what causes it, yet refusing to to do anything to stop it. American food is gross, and it’s weird how millions of people can like huge portions of very bad food.

What is American food? Isn't it all appropriated from somewhere else?

I remember when Americans stole peanuts from Asian cultures. That was a heady day.

I don’t understand liverwurst. Super processed and probably worst of the worst but it’s so good. I only ever have it when visiting my parents and even then it’s rare, but we ate it all the time as a kid. But seriously, what is it? Does it even taste like liver???

I don't eat organ meats. I've tried some and have never found a preparation that doesn't taste foul (like how sewage smells).

I agree! Fruit doesn't belong in salads.
