    Why not? If that is the case then American cuisine is limited to corn syrup and growth hormones.

      Lol. You went to Florida and only ate fast food, didn’t you?

        No, because if you deny everything British that is similar to something else you must do the same for everything American. Doesn’t leave you with many options.

      There’s more than one American cuisine. Southern, Northern Mexican (Cal-Mex, Tex-Mex, etc), New York (basically fusion of Jewish and Irish in a few things), American Chinese, etc.

      American fast food is common, but not the whole thing.

        Nope, if Britain can’t have anything similar to another culture then America can’t have anything Irish, Jewish or Mexican either.

      So it is the case?

        Take it a step further then. Why does Italy get modern pizza? Tomatoes are not native to Europe.

    Then burgers don’t count for Americans either then. They’re a German invention

    So you’re saying the American’s Apple Pie (German) and Bagels (some debate, but Eastern European) count but Curry doesn’t?
