Last panel gets it wrong, though.
Rest of the world totally thinks that there is such a thing as original American food:
High-caloric, hyper-processed junk containing no significant nutritional value but much too much fat, fructose sirup and carcinogenic substances.
That, and watery beer.
I’m an american who lives in colombia and i can confirm this. The american section of my local supermarket is just boxed mac and cheese, cheese sauces, doritos, red bull, ketchup, and cake mix (the cakes here are way less sugary than US ones).
So... they don't have the specific kind of mozzarella you need to properly make pizza? That sucks. I love homemade pizza. It's hard work, but it's really rewarding. Kinda makes me miss when I worked at a good pizzeria. Not the junk ones like Little Caesar's, I'm talking about making the sauce from scratch with tomatoes from the garden. Shit's awesome. Hell, if I could, I'd make the mozzarella from scratch too.
I live near an italian store so i’m not lacking for any cheeses.
