Why do europeans insist on eating the worst american foods? Twinkies barely count as a food they're like 99% preservatives
Well, that's what your pop culture tells us Americans like to eat.
So the thought process is something like "I really dont care for instant foods available here, but the Americans reference it all the time sometimes even as a kitchen staple. So maybe they have that shit figured out" and then you try it and get results such as mine.
It also doesn't help that I can't go to an actual American restaurant, you know, being a continent away and all. Best I can do is maccas or Burger king, not even the chains you got over there that are supposedly good. If you're lucky there is a pizza hut in a major city
Pop culture also says french people eat snails all day and british people use no spices and only one of those is true ;)
But, yeah, don't take the international brands as an example of what Americans typically eat. I mean, some people do, but most people don't eat out most of the time anyways
I thought French people ate Baguettes all day?
Or do they use them for sword training? I can never remember...
