      I mean obviously you’ve never taken the time to explore the US. US food is utterly fantastic.

      Our beer is better too.

        Bri’ish food is some of the best in the world too. Because we know how to use spices and not high fructose corn syrup

              That has nothing to do with the topic at hand, you’re just trying to change the topic, and think that somehow calling out America’s history of colonization (by not only Britain mind you) is some sort of “gotcha” moment.

              But I’ll bite. Personally, European descent. But many native friends and family members, and lots of time volunteering with local native non-profits and political campaigns. Which is likely more than 99% of Americans could say about any sort of native support.

              I’m on the west coast, you know where all the natives were forced to move. Many of the “illegals” the bigots complain about in my area are actually Native Americans or have native ancestry.

              But none of that is about the topic at hand, food and Britain’s lack of utilizing the spices they spent so much effort to get.

            And how, in your wee head, does the fact that it came about due to colonisation make it not British?

        Been to the US a few times. Your food tastes extremely average and the only difference to anywhere else is that it has about 3 times the kcals and half the nutrition. I’ve had heartburn and constipation virtually every time I’ve visited.

        And your beer is possibly the worst in the world. It’s pisswater.

        With opinions like that I’d be surprised if you’ve even left your own state, let alone the country.

          Where the heck did you eat? Corporate McSteakhouse? If the response when asked about beer is Bud or Coors then blink twice, you need help.

          C’mon, stop it. We Americans are bad at many things, but no one can refute that Americans have created some damn good beer over the last two decades.

      You are clearly making a poor joke, but… Butter is literally what the French are known for. Sugarcane is from the South Pacific and sugar itself originated in India.

      Southern and Creole cuisine originated in America however, and that uses a ton of spices on par with native Indian cuisine.
