Why is American food universally frowned upon?

[Anonymous No.15131327]

it's not, thats british food you think of

[Anonymous No.15131334]

Because after europeans murdered 99% of the native inhabitants, there was no american food left. What replaced it was badly remembered sloppa, given the names of foods already invented. The europeans born in america then tried to tell other countries what their culture is, and were laughed at.

Don't know what you're talking about. McDonald and KFC are everywhere, everyone loves american fast food. Personally I have american style glazed wings in my fridge right now. I mean it's not as refined, varied, nutritious and elegant like Italian, Japanese or French but it's very tasty, cozy and has some unique ideas of it's own. USA food is continental east Asian tier which is very good. I'm Polish btw if it matters.

Dumb bait everyone eats the shit, to the point that many foods that America globalized aren't recognizably "American" anymore. A lot of our fast food chains have more international locations than domestic ones.
Of course, you can play the game of discounting anything America popularized as not really being American. No matter what the food, someone else cooked it or something similar somewhere else between 10,000BC-1776AD.

When a chain restaurant expands to another country everything about it is rebuild to better fit that country's economy which means the food can be very much different. There are differences even between cities. In USA KFC is much worse then in Poland, Italy and Germany (thats where I tried it) because in USA it's meant for stupid niggers that can't cook and it's made by stupid niggers that can't cook, and in Europe it's meant to be tempting even to people who can cook a delicious meal at home so the standard is significantly higher.

America is a GOAT food country insofar as it's a melting pot and has great iterations of other cuisines and melded influences like with creole food and loads of immigrant communities.

the joke is like midwestern church potlock food like canned green bean casserole and frito pie and mashmellows with kumura and all that gross shit which seems to an extent to be stuff everyone likes and just in general the industrialised post-culture society which embraces microwaves and garlic powder and canned food and just laziness incarnate especially with people who take themselves seriously while doing it.

Nah, you don't get the appeal of American cuisine for the rest of the world. It's good because it has intense savory and sweet flavors and is extremely unhealthy which has the forbidden fruit appeal. Outside of USA nobody cares about Americanized tacos and pizza but they care about the BBQ, hamburgers and fried chicken.

It's a lot of work to fry chicken.

[Anonymous No.15131432]

Access to actual good American BBQ outside the US is extremely rare. Most people will have never had it, and already have their own style of meat over fire.

Whereas, pizza is absolutely seen through the lense of america for most of the world. Not Italy. As are tacos.

For me it's the price I can't stand, the quality is fine. I once actually had my parents grill me about the ridiculous charge on their bank account after sending me to get some things there. They thought I'd paid no attention and let them get it wrong and screw me.
I can get 8 pieces of fried chicken at a supermarket for $5-6. They taste alright.

American style pizza is everywhere not because it's better then italian but because it's better suited for mass production so the costs are lower and therefore the price is lower. When someone wants an actually good pizza they go to an italian restaurant or a place that specializes in italian pizza. Don't get me wrong american style pizza is good but when people order it around the world they don't even think of it as something american in nature nor that it is better then the original italian. They think of it as the "generic and cheap but still pretty good" imitation of the italian recipe, not as something american in nature. People will in their heads sooner connect american style pizza to a factory or a corporation then the USA. Nobody even ever calls it "american style pizza". It's just americans that do it.

[Anonymous No.15131483]

>>15131451
yeah i don't think of 'italian' or 'american' pizza either but regional styles from either country.
Italian pizza to me is Neapolitan and it's kind of soupy in the middle and eaten with a knife and fork, it's typical, quite idiosyncratic really. Great though.
'normal' high tier pizza is new york style. I'd say that's really more what most high end pizzareas globally immitate.
and then both countries have a full gambit of wierd regional styles with thick bready doughs and meme toppings and shit.

I don't even consider your typical garbage pizza in the pizza conversation.

It's not the first time I hear this but it's totally wrong. All the best pizzerias around the world have either italian style pizza or play on italian style pizza. I don't know where people get the idea that new york style pizza is a big thing outside of US cause it's not. It does appear here and there but it's not more high tier then italian.

[Anonymous No.15131543]

>>15131523
it's because pretending to be italian is part of american culture
I think often they're immitating americans pretending to be italian.

there's a chinese restaurant in auckland which is a franchise from a restaurant in china aimed solely at chinese people in nz, which serves like chips and fried donuts and stuff that cheap chinese takeaways in nz serve for kiwis.
so it's an nz version of a chinese version of an nz version of a chinese restaurant in nz for chinese people

pizza is the same.

[Anonymous No.15131549]

There's normal pizza and Italian pizza. High-end normal pizza is the stuff they jizz over in New York. High-end italian pizza is what they serve in fancy restaurants.
The shit is made differently with some general differences in ingredients.
If a regular pizza is a low-end Italian pizza than my bagel bites are just very low-end Italian pizzas.

American food is basically either
>ground meat with an insane amount of fat and grease couple with still more fat and grease in the form of cheese
>bastardized homunculus of some other country's native food cooked with local sloppa ingredients and rendered unrecognizable by adding 10x as much butter or cheese as the original
>bread or some other starch combined with way too much butter and either cinnamon/sugar or, you guessed it, more cheese
>wash it down with concentrated corn syrup
>processed Hostess for "dessert," as if the sugar slurry preceding it wasn't enough
I like American food, but you can't deny it's objectively pretty fucking disgusting in its preparation. Also, anything you buy premade in a store you KNOW is processed to hell and is packed with seed oil and concentrated corn syrup. There's a reason it's hard to stay slim here.

Americans tend to cook like children that have had access to the fridge while the parents are gone, and don't know what they are doing. That, their architecture and cultural imperialism (think Marvel movies) tends to give an impression of "plastic" culture.

>I'm a one trick pony, it doesn't matter what a food is or where it comes from if I think only people in paradise eat it then i'm going to tell you about it.

Let me tell you of my daily routine. I wake up to the star spangled banner, pull back my American flag bed spread and get up. I change out of my liberty pajamas, and brush my teeth with American crest. As I pass my altar to America I place my right hand over my heart and say in a loud voice "I am proud to be an American". but my words ring hollow in my head because I'm not an American I'm a eurotard. I know that I will never have the freedom to do something like dip my fries in a shake because the french mafia prohibits different thought. I look in the mirror and see my reflection. I think of the sweet release of death but the nanny state I live in won't allow me to own anything sharp or even remotely deadly. some day I will be like the Americans... some day!

I don't think it is looked down upon. I think it's more about the generalized eating habits of Americans that's looked down upon. Huge portions even if you don't do hard manual work. Fatty foods on a daily basis. That kind of stuff. It's all a generalization but that's what holds true. Most europeans and asians see americans as fat land whales because those are typically the tourists that stick out.
