I mean, for context, I was like 8 years old when I first got here. I didn’t really know the difference between fastfood vs “real” restaurants so I just categorically grouped them all together.
Honestly, I still don’t really know what “real” western food is.
I remember going along with family to a cousin’s sweet 16 birthday party and I think its was western cuisine or something… like I heard they spend a lot of money on it (the cousin’s parents were kinda middle class rich) and I disliked most of the food they served, didn’t eat much, don’t even remember what they served. Ended up going home kinda hungry lol.
I think I just go so used to Chinese food, I didn’t feel confident exploring other types of “western” food… other than like burgers, pizzas, cheesesteaks, subway sandwiches / hoagies. Which I know, living here for like over a decade, I still don’t feel quite “American” because of my picky eating habits.

For real. It’s like when people think Kraft Singles are representative of American cheese

We did slip up a tiny bit by literally calling it “American cheese”. Slight strategic error on that one.

They can’t call it that anymore

Not sure I understand, I’m sorry.
