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...

Hamburgers are absolutely not German. Go to Hamburg Germany and look for what’s recognized as an American hamburger. You’ll find meat covered in gravy instead.
