"Americans say that their food is diverse, but it's all stolen! Only burger and pizza lmao" /r/iamveryculinary daily sneed

https://old.reddit.com/r/iamveryculinary/comments/1ec6tgs/americans_say_that_their_food_is_diverse_but_its/

/r/iamveryculinary believe there should be no barriers around food, that no food belongs to any one country, that recipes are gatekeeping... but also that American food is superior to all others. As such, they are not amused by this YouTube Short in which an Asian woman suggests that American food boils down to burgers, ketchup, fries and self-service cola machines.

Let's see what the commenters say:


Oh boy, my favorite subject that makes me become extremely patriotic.

America has some of the most diverse food in the world, and its culinary scene is among the best if not the best in the world (in terms of things like global impact, food diversity, world-renowned dishes, Michelin stars, etc)

The American culinary scene is so vast that it varies dramatically even by region, with each region having unique styles and recipes inspired by dishes around the world. Even excluding cultural fusion foods, America still has incredible food that was entirely originated in America.

:#soycry:

Oklahoma puts onions in their burgers and New Yorkers don't use mustard on their hotdogs.

Number one burger defender.


America simultaneously has no authentic food and no unique food.

Where's the lie?


The same people that complain that American immigrant food isn't authentic because it's not exactly what they have back in their country also say it's not American, because it's a copy of what they have back in their country.

America is a young and diverse country of immigrants with many agricultural zones, so of course what "American food" is will challenge the concepts held by anyone who's country is old, mostly one ethnic group, and mostly one agricultural zone.

"Which agricultural zone should we dine in tonight? Corn Land or Potato World?"


And then 15 separate comments that boil down to "ummm your point is invalid because of cajun food".


The YouTube comments are also pretty good:

They're unironically right, American food is basically airport food.

American food is diverse because there's a panpipe cover of "My Heart Will Go On" in the background of this video pooping on American food.


@r-slur @Lappland @Dramamine defend your culture and try not to mention tater tots this time x

This is rdrama so you're obligated to present per-capita statistics, in which case Japan wins. USA isn't #1 for most stars anyway, it's 6th.

How does per capita put Japan number 1, there's 125m of them?

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

Japan claims the top spot as the nation with the highest number of restaurants per resident with one restaurant for every 61,000 residents. Japan's per capita rate is computed solely for the regions covered by the Michelin Guide—Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto prefectures—which are home to roughly 25 million people and 413 Michelin-starred restaurants.

:marseyshrug: dubious maths but USA is calculated in the same way because the Michelin guide only covers a few states and cities.

It's a French company. I don't think they even added the US until much later.

Hey look at that. Our American food is in such high demand for you bland Brits that even our most common denominator restaurant chains are sprouting up over there. Could you recommend any good beans and toast franchises from your country that I could visit in the states?

No one eats beans on toast in restaurants, that is a STRAW MAN argument. There are plenty of fish and chip and "Irish" pubs in America serving British food.

Literally everyone alive would rather go to a TGIF than have your "world-renowned" fish and chips.
