90% of the food over there is amazing, even if plant based, and the way you dismiss good regular food is sad and telling.
good food belongs to everyone, it shouldn’t be a luxury, it’s the bare minimum. if you disagree you’ve been brainwashed by American corporations.

Again, 90% of the world doesn’t live in the culinary cradle that is the Mediterranean Sea and Fertile Crescent while also having the funds to support a diverse and interesting diet. About 30% of the world is food insecure. Rice, wheat and maize alone are about 2/3 of human caloric intake. 15 crops account for 90% of all human energy intake.
Food as hobby or art or cultural distinction is a rich country game. If you’re going to exclude special occasion (or “rich person”) food then you’re deluding yourself to think that food in the USA is worse than any but a handful of countries.
