+54 America doesn't really have a defined food. Italy has pasta and pizza (among others), China has noodles and pork dishes, India is known for curry, etc... Oh, I guess we do have burgers. Wait no, those came over from Germany. You don't really get "This tastes so American", amirite?

Dude, did you just read my comment on another person's post and then post this? Because this is basically exactly what I wrote.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Actually, no. I thought of this while in the shower.

Weird, because I JUST wrote this on this post: http://www.amirite.net/422746

I'm not going to waste my time convincing you I didn't get this from your comment, because in the end, you're still going to believe that that's where I got it from. So, I will say this again: I got this while in the shower.

Wow, way to be a bitch about it. I believed you, I just wanted to share what I wrote with you.

Many foods attributed to other countries were actually originated here, such as "french" fries.

If you're trying to say that french fries are American in origin, you're wrong. French fries come from modern-day Belgium, before the US even existed.

I'm German and I can tell you it's not really German. German food might be "Currywurst", but that's it:P

Food doesn't actually have to originate from the country to define it. For example, I think of hot dogs and apple pies as examples of USA food even if they didn't originate there.

I think American taste comes from the way it was cooked. For instance, you can get Italian-style pizza and American-style pizza, and the two taste very different.

Fried food.

Reading this post all I could think of was the deep fried things at the fair: deep fried Twinkies, candy bars and whatnot.

Haha same here... that's exactly what I was thinking of. Also, deep-fried Oreos. Mother of god ._.

I'm not sure what the traditional Native American diet is, but would some of that count?

Just because something doesn't originate in a country, doesn't mean it isn't //their// food. For example, you wouldn't call ice cream a Chinese food even though it originated in China. The US has made their own style of pizza, hot dogs, chicken, cheese steak, burgers, and transformed them into the fast food industry.

I've never heard anyone say "This tastes so Chinese/Indian/etc." either.

I typically think 'comfort food' when I think American, despite the food probably not originating here.

Noodles: Italian or Asian? Depends on how they're made. Same goes for American food.
