it occurs to me that we don't actually know much about european cuisine outside of italian, british, and greek
all we know about german food is bratwurst and sauerkraut, all we know about french food is that it's famous for being really pretentious, and we don't know anything about like, spanish or finnish or dutch or i dunno belarusian food
i guess the US is famous for its food too, even if that food seems kind of plain to us who live here
i feel like the only real uniquely USian cuisine is probably barbecue and cajun, and maybe southwestern/tex-mex too (it's pretty distinct from mexican food but many people would lump the two together)
hamburgers and hot dogs just feel... plain? and afawk they were both originally german. and pizza is originally italian, though it's been pretty thoroughly reinvented in chicago
