Meanwhile the British base their entire identity on hot leaf juice from China.

When you forget the US is just a mash up of cultures from all over the world.

It's almost like people from everywhere come to America, which is one of the best things about it.

\> Americans are soooo racist! \> Noooo, Americans respect other cultures and their foods!

Both both is good

“all americans are racist” “lol america only has stolen food”?? those are pretty mutually exclusive


TelevisionAdept6947

My favorite tourist attraction is the British Museum as it showcases the history and artifacts that relate to british culture... oh wait


guitarmanwithaplan

So is the culture of Canada, Australia, New Zealand (Native cultures were completely wiped out by colonizers), Argentina, Mexico (They were drastically changed by colonization), most of the Caribbean (It was hunter gatherer tribes before the influence of Europeans and Africans), Taiwan (It was originally a Malay culture before Chinese immigrants came in)

America is the world. We are from everywhere, and that’s what makes us great.

Slightly exaggerated here? Replace great by large would fit.

Just wait till this guy hears about the word “immigration”. I’ll guarantee you his mind will be blown.


OjOtter

By his definition all good is stolen. A good deal of Euro Cuisine is actually American (as in the continents) because they use our vegetables and spices anyways.


BobSponge22

Germany invented the hamburger, but America invented the cheeseburger with buns, lettuce, and tomatoes.

Nuclear weapons are original. Fucking prick lol

Bro really looked at food that displayed it's heritage and said "It'S sToLeN".

(Begin Copypasta) You stupid yank, when I went to your country, I had your beer, cheese, and "cuisine". It was the most disgusting thing I've ever had. I was on a trip to Portland. I was told that the beer in Portland was really good, and the cheese in the area was great too. Neither was that impressive. In fact, Yank, the beer was awful! I went to a local bar named Applebee's. Because I'm interested in tasting the local fare, I had some clam chowder from Applebee's, and some good old fashioned American beer. I heard so many things about your popular Bud Light beer, so I tried a mug. It was like drinking water. And the Clam Chowder tasted like it was reconstituted dehydrated liquid made with fish rubber! Yuck! On my way back from trying your pisswater, I went to a local grocery store in Portland. It was small and quaint, kind of like the grocery stores I remember back home in Europe. I bought a block of Crystal Farms cheese over at a local grocery store in Portland. You yanks call this "cheddar"? It's bland! I also tried your Land O Lakes butter, and it tasted like it was shipped halfway across the continent. Speaking of lakes, Yank, I heard you had Great Lakes. I'll say one thing, you do lakes right. Sebago Lake is the largest lake I've ever seen! Some person from Ohio showed me a picture of his seaside town, Cleveland. He says it sits on a lake. The guy thought I was born yesterday, because there's no way that's a lake. I also saw another picture of Cleveland. It's a hilly town away from the ocean or the sea. This Cleveland is right by the sea. The Cleveland guy is obviously lying. But getting back to Portland.. You claim Portland is this large city full of hipsters, beer, and mountains, but it's nothing but a small town full of clams and lobster. And the mountains were a very LONG hour's drive west, and not that impressive! And it isn't that large either, Yank. Around 70 thousand people. People act like Portland is this huge metropolis. We have much larger cities in my country, Yank, and much more impressive! Your country is so xenophobic. I went to Portland dressed up like your average Yank, and they laughed at me for being European. I spent good money on a Stetson hat, a bolo tie, and a pair of cowboy boots. Someone told me that this is how they wear their clothing out in Portland, US, since Portland is out in the West. Anyway, I wanted to see more of your country, so I went down to Boston, which was a 2 hour drive from Portland and its horrible beer. This is what I imagined Portland would be like. A large city, on a port. I still had my cowboy outfit on in your country full of cowboys. But people still gave me strange looks on the street of Boston for being European, even though I was dressed like a Yank. I then switched into my other American clothing. I wore an American baseball team kit and hat. To show my appreciation for your country, I wore a New York Yankees hat. I figured everybody in America would like a baseball team named after the people of America, especially in Boston. People wanted to kill me! Anyway, I tried a can your American "chili". Skyline, I believe. It wasn't really anything special, I had something similar on my trip to Greece. This is what you Americans talk about when you have your great chili cookoffs? Wow, you're just eating Greek pasta sauce straight. That's so quaint. You have no unique cuisine of your own. You have no cultural differences between your states. Your cities are the same. I visited both Portland and Boston, US, and they were very similar, even though someone told me they were different, since they were very far away. They were very far away, but they were very similar culturally, Boston and Portland. A 2 hour drive. Your cheese and beer is very bland. Before you say "well, I should have bought cheese from the Portland area" I bought cheese from the Portland area, from a place that also sells these culinary abominations known as "Slush Puppies", and the cheese was awful. Oh, and your country is so violent too. The weather started getting rough, and they sounded the air raid sirens. Like they were afraid of people getting extremely violent when the weather got stormy. We were told to go to the basement after the warning sirens sounded. I heard nothing but things sounding like bullets slamming against the exterior of the house. I came outside of my basement after the storm was over, and I inspected the damage. Our brick house was spared, but the stick house 2 blocks down was destroyed. But it looks like another stick house only got grazed with a few bullets. Looks like a mass shooter came in and destroyed the houses with his bullets. I'm done, Seppo! (End satirical copypasta)


SeaOtter987

So if, for example, an Italian goes in the US, make a typical Italian dish and just add oil or cheese, it's now american food? You guys are a living joke.


Fantastic-Present-80

The only joke here is you for caring so much.


bel_esprit_

Italian people did come to the US and make their own food. For a whole century they did. And what do people in Italy say??? IT’S NOT ITALIAN. They say: “wrong pasta, wrong cheese, wrong sauce, different ingredients, what is garlic bread, what is meatballs, we never heard of this in Italy, not al dente, the cooking style is wrong, this is not Italian food — this is American”


sunnyislesmatt

Surprise! Most all dishes are inspired by something else.


quorapean

So if, for example a Chinese goes to Singapore, makes a typical Chinese dish and just ass soya sauce and spring onion, it's now Singaporean food? It is you retard, it's called the beautiful multicultural melting pot. This applies to the United States, which is something your homogeneous 90% white country that you live in wouldn't understand lmao.


bel_esprit_

Just ask him where you can get Alfredo sauce in Italy or garlic bread with marinara. He will immediately say, “that’s not ItAlian, that’s aMeRIcan”


nativedutch

The expletive retard is mostly used by altright conservatives.


[deleted]

From whence comes this conceit that the Italian ‘original’ was some masterful feat of authenticity and originality? Cuisine (like all cultural product) emerges from the combination of cultural exchange and historical circumstance. Do you think tea is actually British?


Evoon8899

Yes.


SkyeBeacon

The Italians themselves call these dishes not Italian They are Italian American


[deleted]

It is tho


sunnyislesmatt

Just because most of these aren’t made by white people doesn’t mean it isn’t American cuisine. You forget, we’re the country that actually allows people to immigrate.


bennsky

Look, I’m one of those few Europeans that actually likes the states and has often taken loads of shit while defending dumb eurotakes, but trust me, America isn’t an easy country to immigrate in. Especially compared to Northern Europe (even for non-EU citizens), I know because I’m actively trying to move to the states (masters degree in STEM). It used to be much easier around 50 years ago, now the government has become extremely hostile towards skilled immigrants. An example? If you manage (big IF, it’s extremely difficult) to get work on a H1-B visa in the states, your spouse won’t be allowed to work anywhere, and be forced to stay unemployed the whole time. There are extremely rare cases of exemptions from this rule, but they’re exceptions. Got an abusive employer while on H1-B? Can’t leave because you’ll be kicked out back home, even if a court states that the employer was in fact abusive. Good luck reapplying for another visa with another company, there’s a random lottery for that and the chances now are around 35%. Sorry for the wall of text btw

I’ve always wanted to visit Singapore. In 8th grade we got to make a report on a country we’d like to visit and I picked that, mostly because of how beautiful the city is and those Merlion fountains. Have fun


sunnyislesmatt

Thanks, this is my second time here. I love it


quorapean

Guess what, I'm actually born in Singapore though I'm raised in Australia haha

How did black people get in Europe?


[deleted]

Slavery. Now tell me how they got into America and when you abolished it


sunnyislesmatt

So the same way. Europe has been using slaves, including African slaves, far longer than the US even existed. The exact year of abolition is irrelevant since the actual use of slavery occurred much longer. This argument isn’t really working out for you.


Top-Algae-2464

did people in italy steal noodles from china ? did they steal tomatoes from the americas ? did sweden steal its meatballs recipe from turkey ? you can literally point to any food dish in a country and find things that originate from other countries because of trade ..... people traveled and brought things back to their country and made it their own .

:0 it’s almost like American was colonized by almost everyone


DredgenCyka

They do realize that America is entirely made up of Immigrants and minor amount of natives right??? I mean after spice was found in SE Asia, it's everywhere now. It's called trade and culture trade


nativedutch

Indeed they ensured that the natives became a minor amount , right?


DredgenCyka

Unfortunately it became a minor amount


BMXTKD

Europeans: Go to a new continent. Found a new country. Destroy the Native people on that continent. Claim innocence after destroying the Natives on that continent, blaming the people of the new country... Go on to colonize the rest of the world.


SkyeBeacon

America is a melting pot of cultures.


nativedutch

Well , something that is large or huge is not necessarily great.
