Nah, real american cusine is having people from other countries come over and share their experiences through food.

a lot of people (read: idiots) assume this creates a homogenized food culture,w here everything tastes the same. Granted, america loves it's salt (so it's added in various ways to most import cuisine), but that's something it learned from pappy Britain anyways.

In reality, America has a grand and bustling food culture that is no bigger or better than any other country's, just different.

I mean, look at any other country, and you can see pretty much the same thing, though a little less dramatic, as America does have the 'melting pot' reputation.

French cuisine: Italian food with cream and butter.

Mexican food: Spanish food + being poor + South American influences

American food: Literally everything + salt

I dont understand why people get so anally devastated by the simple fact that America's food culture is no worse or better off than anyone else's. Maybe people just want an easy target.

If you take this absolute reductionist approach to cuisine, then literally nothing is regional besides perhaps certain ingredients that are endemic to a particular region, and with globalization I guess that's a moot point.

BBQ came to America from Africa. I'd like you to show me where in Africa you can get food identical to American barbeque.

Shaping spiced ground beef into a patty and grilling it came from Germany, but making it into a sandwich with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and bacon is distinctly American. Bonus points for codifying standard methods of assembly-line mass-producing millions of hamburgers to be sold daily.

BBQ is a form of slow cooking though. Perhaps you're thinking of grilling?

Grilling = direct high heat, fast cooking time. Examples: steaks, hamburgers, chicken legs, etc.

BBQ = indirect low heat (often involving smoke). Long cooking time. Examples: Brisket, whole hog, whole poultry.

Other kinds of cooking meat with fire would be different kinds of cooking, such as using a spit = roasting.

Dear lord, did you take that shit straight from wikipedia?

American barbeque depends on region, but involves slowly smoking and grilling/roasting a collagen-rich piece of meat until it is tender. The slathering of sauce depends on where you're from; a hot sugary mustard sauce, a sweet tomato sauce, or obliterated onions (way beyond caramelization) much like what the ancient people from the Mediterranean did; are the most common I've seen.
