Sure, and that's why you can't protect yourselves, get thrown in jail for jokes, wait 6 hours in line for lackluster emergency care, and pay $75 for a $20 bit of pork of all fucking things. Not even quality beef or a big ass turkey. Pork. You're taxed to the point where you can barely afford to do anything, and you accept mediocrity in everything that you do. But Americans are the idiot mouthbreathers. Yeah. Ok.

Dear the Rest of the World,

Get fucked.

Sincerely,

The United States of America

Here in America we eat non-rotting meat and don't need to over spice our meats. Black pepper is the best spice ever made and salt is the best flavor enhancer.

>Don't they know there are more than 2 flavors?

Yes, The meat.

Yeah there's a reason Marcus Samuelsson and Jean Georges Vongerichten tried and failed to civilize the flyovers. It's because they wouldn't know good food if you literally shoved it down their throats.

And remember Homaro Cantu? Killed himself because he realized his life's work had been a waste.

Good food is considered treason in flyover land, and expressing any appreciation for it is considered an attack on America.

Uhhmerrilard here. I travel for business a bit, more to Asia than to Europe, but certainly some Europe and of course lots of USA USA USA.

I actually find that Americans are more boozy than anyone else. We have some kind of business-machismo thing going on where if you don't have at least a glass of something at a business dinner, preferably something hard, unless it is a fine dining scenario where it has to be wine, it results in confusion, like there must be something wrong (doesn't he trust us? is he hiding something? is he an alcoholic?). Whereas in Europe or Asia you can certainly have a glass with your meal, but if you don't no one gets alarmed, and at some meals most people don't even drink.

Take this with a grain of salt because I haven't been to Japan on business yet, and so it's mostly Chinese-culture business folk. Also I am not counting the British and Aussie expats in Asia who are Olympic-tier champion drinkers. Also maybe being a foreigner people are less inclined to show their true feelings to me, and maybe I'm not picking up on cultural cues.
