EVERY country has their share of nasty foods

Yes, but there are better versions of all of those readily available.

Dissenter

I like all kinds of mustard including Frenchs

ManicBlue

No, they aren't high class, but they are the standard

I don't think you'd find many people that would agree that your list is the

Probably a lot has to do with marketing.

You must not really go to foreign countries and see what they actually eat there

You mean in northern Europe? Sure, but they have the worst food in the world.

Eh, whatever. It was more for dramatic effect than anything else

Wonder Bread is the industry leader in sales, 'good food' doesn't seem to matter

Dissenter

Because it's what poor people can afford

Children tolerate it best. It doesn't blunt the flavor of their PB & jelly.

Traveling to Europe makes me sad for American food; traveling to South America makes me miss American food.

some parts of Europe...not all

maybe I don't understand the question. There is a ton of great American food

YIsForBrigham

Just questioning what is really American. Most of our food is

Lip Gallagher

Your idea that we ruin native foods is just not based in reality

Nothing like a sensitive defensive Texan.

Ketchup came from China to England and then to the US...
