Well, it depends on what you are eating. You are probably eating over processed packaged foodstuffs.

pig is dirty animal

10 IS JEW!

American food is a fusion of a variety of cultural dishes spanning from Europe to the Pacific Islands to the Americas.  If our food is shit, then you're saying your own food is shit as well.

Cajun food is an american creation.

Also, don't forget the wonderful Philly Cheese Steak

>>14
Cajun has french roots.

>>16  eat'm? well hell no boy that be a downright fools idea. A negro is a working animal, u put them out in the fields or doing manual labor on a construction site.  Plus look at their dark skin, it ain't right, they's been tainted hell if you ate them I'm damn sure your skin would shrivel your blood run cold and you will croak the very next night.

See negors are work animals like the mule and as bright as one too!

If you're looking for some fine american cuisine try a maryland crab cake mmhhmmm delicious I say!!

Purely american food? I have no idea, though what >>13 says is true in most States.

pop tarts.
we made pop tarts.
fuck you all.

pop turds

>>13

INCORRECT. Your logic is flawed.

Just because the combined result of various cultural dishes are shit, doesn't mean the orginals are. In fact, it is more likely that your bastard hybrids are actually terrible compared to the orginals.

BLAH! 

American Cuisine is a blending of pan European styles.  Mostly influenced by French/German food. 

The biggest alteration in it, is a concept of less seasonings or spices, and also longer cooking times at a higher heat.  It is a hold over from when there were more problems with food borne illnesses so things had to be over cooked to kill the bacteria or at least an attempt to kill the bacteria.

Current American Cuisine is coming around adopting new influences.   This is because of increasing trade with other countries, better storage, faster transit yeada yeada.

Also, fire, crusts and grilling are very important in American food.  Where as in European foods that's less of a factor,where a softer or kinda poached element is desired. 

Example in one of the key differences is Sous Vide.  You get a tender poached like end result, which is a growing practice across Europe.  Where as in the US it isn't catching on, hold overs to the grill and just the sentiment to not having "high tech" food. 

Americans do have more dependency on pre packaged foods though, which is what a lot of non americans tend to notice.  Not just Americans but Canada, and Mexico also make use of it, which is one of the reasons that fat people tend to come from the three, because we eat way to much, to often, and the wrong foods on top of that. 

So yeah, jazz.  It isn't exactly American food it's the pre-packaged food that's the problem.

le bump?

Long story short, it's mostly German and Italian food.

>>25.  It's all because of the Nazi's.  It's all a lie, the Nazi's really won the war.  I mean think about it, German, Italian and Jap food is what's trendy.. 

AMERICANS ARE NAZI'S!!  IT ALL ADDS UP NOW!

is there is no distince American fucking culture.  if you mean like, native american then that's obvious, but all american food comes from other cultures and shit. we're not special. god I hate america. take me to europe!

Americans are dependent on pre-packaged goods, packages they're just going to throw away. Packages that add to all the land fills and litter they complain about.

NOM NOM NOM

Yeah... How about I go to your country, buy some pre-packaged crap from a convenience store, then say your country's food sucks...

Dude, the question you have to ask yourself is where did those convenience foods come from?  Where did those companies start out?    Most of the time it's the good ol' US of A. 

Those Convenience foods chiefly in USA, Canada, Mexico, UK, Germany, Italy,Australia and Japan. 

But it's more of a modern Western aspect then just the States.

A brief (and possible inaccurate) history of American food:

Early American food was frontier food. This makes sense, as early America was the frontier. Frontier food isn't known for its flavor. Time is short, so a lot of food was fried, and people ate quickly. European visitors remarked how Americans would quickly eat their meals and then start drinking. Standard fare would be bread, corn, corn, cornmeal, salt pork, and whisky. One account I read about (In "The Alcoholic Republic") was a Swede visiting frontier Alabama and being served a three course meal consisting of:
1)Pickled pigs feet
2)Bacon with molasses
3)Milk and black bread soaked in whiskey
Needless to say, he was a bit turned off.

There was certainly regional influence on food, as well immigrants brought their own cuisine with them, but that had to be adapted to what was available. Immigrants were also usually poorer peasants from places like England, Ireland, Scotland, Eastern Europe, Germany, and Northern Europe, so what they brought was peasant food, not adaptations of Escoffier.
Expecting absurdly fancy food is stupid, because America never had that kind of aristocracy that could have kitchens of 500 cooking a meal for 20 people. It was mostly poorer people cooking for themselves.

American cuisine also had a huge shift in the post-WWII period. Old cookbooks from the prewar period will still contain recipes for things like spicy foods (curries, etc.). But after booming prosperity, the US was hit with the dirty, wretched conditions of WWI, the Great Depression, and WWII. Afterwards the whole country seemed to lose flavor. You saw a rapid expansion of cookie-cutter suburbs  (e.g. Levittown), Wonderbread, fast food restaurants, malls, and austere modernist architecture. The whole culture seemed to have decided it didn't want anything approaching exotic food. They wanted regularity, safety, cleanliness. Large-scale corporate production thrived, and there went a lot quality and taste, at least in many places.

However, I'd still say the OP has never really explored American food. Go to a good Soul food restaurant (Sylvia's in Harlem, for example), and tell me it's crap. It's fucking gorgeous.

Not only that, but high-end American-Fusion food - usually innovative takes on traditional foreign dishes (and why not, for a land of immigrants), is very good. There's a reason why chefs from France, Italy, and Japan will come to the US to improve their techniques. If the only place you eat in the US is the food court, I can see why you wouldn't be impressed. But if my only experience with Italian food was at the ripoff tourist restaurant at the Vatican, I don't think you would say it's a fair example.

whenever i think of "american food" i can't help but think of Mcdonald's

Whenever I think about American food I think of the stuff that comes out of my ass.

American food: 
Try chicken fried steak with white gravy.  Try baked potatoes with slow-cooked chili.  Try

try obesity

>>10

iz jew?

Ewwwwwwww. That's why Americans are overweight then. I think of American food as fast food. :S

America, like any NEW WORLD COUNTRIES, are infulenced by many other coutries of the OLD WORLD COUNTIRES.

But it depends where you live. There is New england syle, Cali sytle, Mid-west BBQ, Tex-mex, Southern soul food, Chinese-American, etc. America is pretty much bless of its location for supply of food.

but in a general sense of American food. Yeah it pretty much retarded since most parents didn't learn their ancestor food and all. I mean look at white people these days. they don't know what  European countires they came from. Also black people as well. they are pretty much like white people in sense of food. This doesnt count southern people since they are more closer to their culture.but their food is still greasy.

Most Americans are not open to new types of foods. remember sushi had a rep of RAW SEAFOOD. not its the new thing and all.
there is even cooked sushi of the new style.

I mean really what do we see in todays markets.
Frozen foods
Can foods
premade bread
season rice
can vegetables
and selve that has its own JUNK FOODS
SODA

and then there is fresh products. you know them FRESH produce
MEATS,seafood, etc

all these foods we see is premade and preserved. You thoght Chinese food had a rep of MSG. look at canned soup, spagetti sauce, seasoned rice, frozen pizza, etc.

I MEAN READ THE LABELS. American hating on china stero types.

Tell then
Peace

That's another reason I can't like America sometimes. I mean, they'll disrepect another culture but they'll eat their food like it's nothing. That's so retarded.

if it wern't for indian food i don't think i could have survived in britain,so there.

I'm in PE, in Atlantic Canada.  If it wasn't for Thai food from some immigrant I would have killed myself.

how do i eat my anus?

No such thing as "America" food

Moots' Penis?

their food sucks infinity moar.

unfortunately for you op you are correct but also at the same time a closed minded unintellectual faggot. America is still a relatively new country and as such has yet to develop a cuisine in and of itself save for native American cuisine and Spanish influenced food. take a look at France for instance.these so called food snobs were eating shit for the first couple hundred years, and those who associate the French with silverware are bafoons, Caterina de Medici (Italy) brought her finest chefs, and silverware to France.so if it was not for Italians French cuisine would not have developed to what it is today, and as such the same should be expected of America. and if you look at todays food culture, that is to say the educated public, people are becoming more and more interested in other cultures food, including their own. so i will leave you with this thought, if people treat southern food and cajun and creole as a cuisine type in other country's (which they do) than why can those not be considered american cuisine? cuisine is not what the ritch eat, it is what the peasant makes out of measly scraps that tastes amazing, pot au feu, jambalaya, rillettes, polenta, are true cuisine. oh and by the way the true american dish is Cioppino, look it up, its the real san francisco treat, not rice r roni.

>>15
Actually Cajun cuisine came from Acadia, which is in Canada
, and was recognized as a different offshoot from French food, these people used French technique yes, but so does every other cuisine in the world except in wok cooking, Cajun is its own cuisine and has nothing to do with French cuisine

Anyone goes and says Ameri food is uneatable got some lying up the phone.

Chicken nuggets? well thats just golden pieces of baked savory lip smackers, burger? mm we show the germans how to do a secret sauce huhuh and finally. pizza well we took that stinky thin shit from itailia and gave it some soft dough, bitta meat, turned it into satisfyin norishment so dont be lying buttfuck

lol, fail.

well generally american food is disgusting shit bought at a fast food chain. but there are other kinds of american food like southern cooking. chicken, collard greens, black eye peas with rice, mac&cheese, yams etc.

really we just steal other regional ideas and corrupt them and turn them into over processed crap.

OK guys, here's the deal.

Anything with peanuts or corn is fucking American. If I make a pizza and say "American food" you say "No it's Italian."

Bullshit. If you've eaten Italian-pizza, then you know it's different toppings and shit from American. "OK, it's a ripoff of Italian."

Well, if that's your metric, anything using corn in Europe is a ripoff of American food because corn comes from the US. Repeat ad nauseum with other foods that originate here.

Beyond that, chili was invented in the fucking States. That's American. And you can make it healthy and tasty with proper skills.

And Italian food is not a ripoff of anything? Bullfuckingshit. Noodles came from China via Marco Polo, so Italian just rips off Chinese food by your metric. And don't get me started on the seafood-based Italian recipes, which co-opt Hellenic recipes and recipes taken from all over the Roman empire.

Etc. etc. etc.

>>68
Also tomatoes, which came to Italy from South America.

>>68
Actually corn comes from aztecs- mecxicas,mayan  so fuck you!

>>68
Agreed.  A lot of American food is adaptations of food brought over by immigrants from other countries, but I would definitely call it American seeing how the American version is distinguishably different.

America is huge so it's impossible to even begin to list all the American food, but there is southern cuisine, barbeque, cajun, creole, Tex-Mex, Californian, a lot of US versions of ethnic food, etc. etc.

>>68

lol corn and chili comes from the aztecs you dumbass, learn some history faggot

fried chicken
mac and cheese
corn bread
biscuits
cream pie
mashed taters n gravy and slaw

chichen

After eating most of the calf I look at myself in the mirror. There is grease all over my face. And then I start to eat at random. I bite her little toe. It still smell of her feet. I stab the knife into her arch and see the red meat deep inside. I thrust my fingers inside and dig out the meat and put it in my mouth. It tastes okay. Then I stab the knife into her armpit. Ever since I saw it under her yellow sleeveless top I wondered how it would taste this good.  The wonderful taste cheers me up and I devour her underarm up to the elbow.

Finally I cut off her private parts. When I touch the pubic hair it has a very bad smell. I bite her clit, but it won't come off, it just stretches.  So I throw it in the frying pan and pop it in my mouth. I chew very carefully and swallow it. It is so sweet.

After I swallow it, I feel her in my body and get hot. I turn the body over and open her buttocks, revealing her anus. I scoop it out with my knife and try to put it in my mouth. It smells too much. I put it in the frying pan and throw it in my mouth. It still smells. I spit it out. I go into the next room. It smell of fat, like I've been frying a chicken.

It's been twenty-four hours now. Some huge flies hover and buzz in the bathroom. I try to chase them away, but they came back. They swarm on her face. They seem to tell me that I've lost her forever. It is no longer her. Where is she? She's gone far away. I've broken her. Like a child who breaks his toy. I try to use an electric knife to cut her body. It doesn't work. It just makes a loud sound. I use a hatchet. I strike several times. It's hard work. I strike her thigh. Her body jumps up. If she could feel, it would have hurt.

Finally the thigh separates from her body. I bite it again, like I would bite a chicken leg. Then I cut off her arms. It is even harder than the thigh. I use the electric knife again. It makes a shrill sound, like the sound of her shrill voice. It works this time. Her hand still wears a ring and a bracelet. When I see her long fingers I am driven by another impulse. I use her hand to masturbate. Her long fingers excite me.

When I'm finished I try to bite her finger. I can't. I'm disappointed. I put her hands into the plastic bag along with her legs. And then I see her face. It is still quiet. She has a small nose and a sweet lower lip. When she was alive I wanted to bite them. Now I can satisfy that desire. It's so easy to bite off her nose. As I chew the cartilage I can hear the noise. I use a knife to cut off more of the cartilage and put it in my mouth. It really doesn't taste very good. I scoop out her lower lip with my knife and put it in my mouth. It has hard skin. I decide to eat it later when I can fry it. So I put it in the refrigerator.

Chinese food as sold in the US and elsewhere is American food.  Because it's not what they have in actual China, but developed in US.

HELLO

American food is pig disgusting!

No one knows how to spell.  I can see that.

I don't think Peking Ducks are native to the US

Corn definitely is. Actually, it's more of a Mexican/Central American type of food. Also, whatever the Native American Indians ate before the arrival of Europeans.

Fuck you healthy food eaters.

I will be eating my deep fried pizzas for life!
