don't you eat the asses of a frog
Uh, regular white bread typically, traditionally, doesn't have american levels of sugar.
If you go eat bread from germany, italy, or france, you'll be surprised how sweet, sugary, and overdone american bread is.
but hey, you're an american exceptionalist, you can't admit anything about america isn't the best
Only if I haven't eaten snails the same week.
So do you, yours are just in hot dogs
silly westerners arguing over who has better food, everyone knows east asia has the best cuisine anyway
Look, they're just different. There's trade-offs associated with having the amount of production and economic output of America: we get low taxes, more choice, and the best high tech jobs that people come from all over the world (including from the EU) to have access to, but unfortunately many parts of our country are fat as fuck.
On the other hand, European's get paid less for high tech high skilled jobs, pay more taxes, and don't have NEARLY the amount of choice in different types of food as America does but you all seem to enjoy wearing thigh-high shorts and buying your t-shirts at Baby Gap, which is something I'd never be able to do!
YOU CAN'T EVEN EAT CHEESE WITHOUT HAVING TO POOOOP
In 28 years of living in Canada, I've never seen bagged milk.
Also, are you sure you know what you're talking about when it comes to food in Europe?
Maybe watch some more chef related shows, or educate yourself about food more. That's just absurdly fucking wrong.
simmer down lad now your bong-half is showing
Doesn't really matter whether your food is better, we stole it all when we used to own you anyway.
I actually feel pretty slim
I'm gonna be honest, the only bread I've ever had that's been shitty and sweet is the shitty wonderbread-type stuff that no sane person should be eating anyways. I've only eaten this kind of bread for years now.

but i guess that's mostly because Publix has a great bakery
"They're just different guys, one country has appalling obesity and heart disease, and most others don't, just different guys!"
Uh, not sure I follow you on food choice lol, I don't know where you got that idea. Most French expats I know have had to import some of their food from the EU because it's unavailable in the US or just shit quality. I don't know what exactly the US has that we can't find in Europe.
Also, your produce is costly and portions are systematically family-sized. That's not exactly what I call choice if you live alone and don't want to stuff yourself while retaining diversity and not throwing food away.
Hmm kinda fucked up for you to talk about the rape and genocide of people by the murderous British empire like it's just a funny thing
I thought this was just "bantz"
Well that could be explained by Europeans being picky and afraid to try new things. Do you have a Korean grocery store near where you live? Do you have 3 near where you live?
Can you, for one second, recognize that america isn't the best country in the world in every regard and that some of those issues aren't the europeans just being "picky" or whatever?
How much have you actually traveled?
So the US has MASSIVE choice compared to Europeans but lacks food from France and other big European countries? 🤔 Bit of a contradiction there mate. Europeans being picky eaters or not is irrelevant, you can't claim that you have a lot of choice but not have basic stuff used in European cuisine.
If it's any similar to "European" grocery stores it probably wouldn't satisfy a Korean either lol.
Still waiting on your actual sources for your claims that we don't have NEARLY as much choice as you do.
What do you mean lacks the food?? Make it yourself, buy the ingredients or look up a restaurant on Yelp. I guarantee you, you can find good food from every country imaginable in New York City or Los Angeles.
They're owned by multi-national Korean brands so somehow I doubt it
What the fuck is a "European grocery store"? Pretty sure we have all the same ingredients in our food. Name an ingredient you think I can't get at a grocery store in America
If the beef has the texture of a shoe sole then it is way overcooked. It should be mostly pink, moist and only slightly firmer than melting in your mouth. I would never get Sunday roast from a restaurant and I don't trust most people to make it properly, a lot of people just bung the meat in the oven, use frozen roast potatoes and put a load of veg on to boil so they can go watch TV in the meantime.
If the taste isn't for you then fine, but that means you don't like gravy, mashed potato, beef and roast potatoes at a minimum.. you've dishonored generations of British Grannies.
Certain italian, french, german, or other ingredients aren't found in those locations easily, or at all. You don't seem to be an expert on these cuisines, so for you to assert none of them lack
anything, is kind of absurd.
H-Mart is what we have here, and it's almost as good as it is in Korea. I have several Korean national friends, and several people who spent 4 or 5 years there as students who can attest to
that. And we're practically Korea North in some ways these days.
So you think because those stores exist in America, they offer the exact same variety of goods? Dude, you don't seem very well traveled.
I don't need to quote you saying that. Everything you've said since you entered the thread reeks of american exceptionalism, and you even chided everyone here(except your fellow american)
for calling other cuisines bland or what have you. You blame europeans on being "picky" and haven't accepted any criticism of american food, and have offered plenty to everyone else.
Yes, america has good food too. But to say they have the most, or the best, or all of the different varieties of the world is just wrong. If you don't know local specialties, and other people do,
how can you claim to have all the different ingredients they have?
Italy grows 48-60 different types of grapes every year. You're claiming America has all of those, and all the varieties that come from it?
The BBC are reporting plenty of "actual fucking news", ignhelper just keeps pulling shit out of their trending and more entertaining news segments.
You'd know this if you actually took the 3 seconds it takes to visit the page to read the article as there are links to news articles all down the side of the article itself.
I just posted it because its interesting? Hell most of the articles I post are because they are going to invoke some level of discussion.
They might not be the most reputable sources, but they aren't breitbart either.
That's like us judging all of America's food by Walmart, no wonder you have a poor opinion of it.
Does UK have In-N-Out though?
Only if you purchase a porn licence from the corner shop first
Saucisson? Foie gras? Basically any French cheese? (Some of those are even fucking banned in the US lmao) French wine? Cassoulet? Decent, actual bread? Butter that's not crap? You can't do any of these yourself using ingredients available in US stores.
My GF spent 6 months in San Fran. She once bought celeriac to prep some meal and the cashier looked at her wide-eyed as if she saw an alien and asked her what the fuck she planned to do with it. Americans don't seem to have much knowledge of foreign cuisine, and there really aren't much available in terms of ingredients. It seems to me you pulled that ~much GREATER choice~ out of your own ass.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Alright I give up. To reuse a term of yours, you have zero clue what you are talking about.
I cannot get frog legs in a Lidil or Aldi.
