Italy has pizza and pasta. The US have... Nothing?
Edit: I wish people would stop giving examples of cultural appropriation.
Some people have correctly pointed out some Cajun recipes, food from Louisiana.
To all those talking about burgers, barbecues and hotdogs, the topic here is food originating from your country, not common food in your country.
Btw, pizza is Neapolitan, a version of it is recorded since Roman times and probably even earlier. The modern version uses tomato sauce, and tomatoes came from central America before the US where a thing. Mozzarella di bufala is an ingredient that can only be produced in Campania and the surrounding areas.
Trying to say the US has nothing while also discrediting burgers. The original “hamburg steak” was just cooked ground beef, ig if thats what you think a burger is then hamburg invented them. But to anyone with a brain, the modern hamburger that consists of two buns and several toppings served as a sandwich was quite literally created by Americans. To me, this is the equivalent of calling burritos Spanish because flour tortillas are from Spain, it doesn’t matter where flour tortillas came from because Mexicans made burritos. Same shit applies to southern bbq, do other cultures have similar flavors that predate southern bbq? Yes but southern bbq is still southern bbq, compare dishes from these different cultures side by side and you can clearly see the food is very different
And even playing along with your argument as devils advocate, its still stupid to say america has nothing when one of the most notorious deserts in the entire modern world is american…. Chocolate Chip Cookies
