Notably, Americans are not the only culture that does this.

There’s a Thai dish called ‘American Fried Rice’ for instance.

American fried rice is a Thai fried rice dish with “American” side ingredients like fried chicken, ham, sausages, raisins, and ketchup.[1] Other ingredients like pineapples and croutons are optional.

At least in any part of America I’ve been to, this is certainly not something you can get here.

I’m pretty sure all cultures adapt and learn from other cultures. That’s just how human culture develops. Vietnamese takes on French favourites resulted in bahn mi and Vietnamese coffee, both of which are very good. Poor Hongkongers wanting to eat like Brits resulted in Hong Kong’s famously weird “Cha chaan teng” food and Hong Kong-style milk tea.

  You’re right, this is normal. Off the top of my head: - tempura originated because of the trade between the portuguese and japanese - portuguese monopoly on cinnamon trade with Sri Lanka and India, allowed Europe to get it for cheap and it became a main ingredient in a lot of desserts and confections - the UKs tea culture came from a portugese noblewoman, who learned it from China
  
  Cultures are constantly taking ideas from each orher

  I learned about it from a story I heard of someone who traveled from the US to Thailand, saw it on the menu at a restaurant and ordered it, expecting it to be the sort of fried rice you’d get in the US at an Asian restaurant. They were unpleasantly surprised.
