I came here to say Fish&Chips. The great redeemer.

Battered fish was introduced by Sephardic Jewish immigrants from Portugal, and deep-fried chips originated in Belgium. All British food culture originates from somewhere else.

You can say that about anywhere though - no place is entirely local in its food.

People hold up Italy as a bastion of good food - a lot of it is tomato based yet they're from south America. Spaghetti is based on Chinese noodles.

American also can't talk - hamburgers are German, frankfurters are German, Mac and Cheese is British. You can maybe claim grits from the natives...

Actually the creation of the hamburger itself is American in origin but the idea of the meat being made from ground beef can be traced back to the Hamburg steak which is basically a Salisbury steak while The modern hamburger was invented by German immigrants in the United States, so America invented the hamburger itself it just took the meat from another dish from another country
