People in Ohio put chocolate and nutmeg in chili, put it on spaghetti, and then cut it up with a knife and fork. They have no business talking about what other people eat.

Hey, don't put that Cincinnati shit on the rest of Ohio, we don't associate with those weirdos!
I'd rather eat some cat...
It's so stupid. I once tried putting instant coffee in a pasta sauce. I don't belong anywhere.
How did it turn out?
It tasted as bitter and unsatisfying as racism
It’s a practice that’s about as American as apple pie
"Noted first in the 14th century, apple pie recipes are a standard part of cuisines in many countries where apples grow."

What kinds of food can 100% be attributed to the US? Fast food? Spray cheese?
It's so silly when people act like the US has zero culture.

I can't tell if you're joking or not.

None, but the notion of any "pure" and "original" cuisine existing is a myth that normalizes nativism.
the notion of any “pure” and “original” cuisine existing is a myth that normalizes nativism.
So all the dishes that definitively originate from a certain place ... actually don't?
Every cuisine except for those of uncontacted tribes is shaped by migration, trade, economics, etc. The ingredients Italian cuisine is most known for are pasta (derived from early Arabic forms of noodles) and tomatoes (South America.) You can say Lasagna was invented in Italy, but you can't say it's the product of cultural purity that Europeans tend to think of their cuisines as.
Only to the degree that the hamburger actually is an original American dish does "pure" cuisine exist. People looking to discredit American food call it German, and while it evolved from Hamburg steak, by most accounts the first people to turn that into a sandwich, and then top it with cheese, lettuce, and tomato instead of gravy were in the United States. Burgers are German only to the degree that Bahn Mi is French.
Bahn Mis are the best sandwiches on earth.
We French might have invented the baguette but the vietmamese truly put it to good use.

Individual dishes can often be traced to a certain place and time though. You're being overly general in your thinking.
I forget that the US exists outside time and space. As long as 90% of Europe has some prized tomato-based dish, I will laugh at the ideas of foods having a "place".
Food is a cornerstone of culture and one thing that will always be true is that culture is an ever changing landscape rather than some strict index thats easily sorted.

I've no idea what this means.

Weird. Just because largely generic dishes exist that doesn't negate that some others have a definitive origin.

OK. That doesn't contradict what I was saying though.
The US is a third world shithole with a $20T military.
