I don’t think anyone American is in a position to comment on people’s food either.

    I'm conflicted on this in that most of our foods, like most American culture, are largely imported from other countries by the people who came here (when they're not products of the great depression or whatever)

    Things've kind of gone in their own direction since the early days, but at the end of the day a lot of what we do is inherited behavior from our various precursors. Bit of a recurring theme with the US.

    Yep, and they've managed to make it bleak af too. Chinese food that caters to UK tastes is all deep fried or brown, and they've bastardized Indian food into sugary, unspiced slop.

    You can still get "real" "authentic" food from other cultures, but for some reason it seems like they treat that as almost a novel special experience? Like having Chinese food with actual vegetables and isn't just stir fried noodles drenched in hoisin sauce is an occasion for them.

    Truly dire.

    American takes on Chinese or Indian food or whatever will cater to American palates too. Have you been to a British Indian or Chinese restaurant, cause I have, and to me what you’re calling “an occasion” is the norm.

    Only been a tourist there, so chances are I just didn't get the whole experience. I'm sure there's good places but I don't really have plans to go back lol.
