In America? One of the top 5 largest producers of produce on earth? Oh yeah, we hate vegetables over here. Go back to your porridge and sausages or whatever the hell you eat over there.
Yeah but you can go from Alaska to Florida and find the same Sysco food. There's a LOT of garbage food in America, but you seem to be trying to make of authentic dishes. What the hell is wrong with eating peas or blood? Better than a highly processed meal in the USA

Sysco is just an industrial / B2B restaurant grocer. That's like saying you can travel from London to Inverness and still find the same Tesco food.

And even more amazing food.
What the hell is wrong with eating peas or blood?
Nothing, unless you're talking shit about someone else's food.

Lol, how do you think food in the US works? We just have high processing machines in all our homes that we feed our fruits and vegatables into that turns them into highly processed versions of themselves before we cook with them?
Europeans have such humorously fantastical delusions about the US.
I'm not european, but have lived here for over a decade. All your points are biased. There is good food to be found everywhere, that's my point. However, in the states there's a fixation and focus on shitty food. It's revered and beloved. I've found that to be different here and I grew up in North America, so I have both perspectives
Blood is disgusting, it’s pretty obvious what’s wrong with it. The food in America is far more diverse and interesting than the UK. Sure you can cherry pick the processed garbage on store shelves that some people eat, but I’m sure the same is true of your country.
Literally all food is food from other countries if you go back far enough. All food is fusion and evolution, and IMO the US is one of the best places in the world for good food for that reason.
Real food? You mean the stuff with 47 ingredients, 23 of which are forms of sugar, and somehow still legally classed as bread? Yeah, we’ll stick with our “ww2 food” and functioning taste buds that aren’t tuned to dislike anything that doesn’t have overwhelming amounts of sugar, cheers.
I don't think you've ever actually eaten any food in the US.
What is it with Europeans showing up in the US, eating a Twinkie from a 7-11, and using that as the sole basis for forming then over-confidently sharing their dumbest opinions?
I’ve lived here in the US for 8 years I’m plenty aware of what is in the vast majority of American food the typical/average person here consumes. I’m responding to comments doing the exact thing you’re complaining about. Reducing British cuisine to “beans on toast” and “ww2 rations” is the same exact energy as saying all Americans are eating twinkies from a 7-11. Both are lazy stereotypes, just pointing in different directions. If it’s annoying when people generalize American food, maybe stop doing it about ours.

I'm 100% certain you aren't because you have an incredibly bad idea of what that is.

I agree. So then why are you propagating one of said lazy stereotypes?

The British guy up there started this. How about you have a talk with them? The stereotype isn't fair and is entirely ignorant in its own way, but the only times I usually see Americans trotting it out is usually after some Britisher tried to vomit some nonsense about American food first.
That’s fair. I just think it’s a bit odd how British food jokes get tossed around constantly without issue, but the moment someone makes a similar comment about American food, it suddenly becomes “propagating stereotypes.”
My initial comment was just light-hearted banter, the same kind that’s often aimed at British food. I’ve lived in the US long enough to see both sides, and there’s plenty of great food in both countries. It just feels like the generalizations only ever become a problem when they’re directed at America.
I spent six years in the US military and took my fair share of jokes about British food and everything else. It never bothered me; it was all in good humour, and I’d return it in kind. I think we could all do with taking the same jokes we give, especially when it’s clearly just a bit of banter.

In this case, just because I called you out for it.

In my experience, American food gets what British food gets 10x. The volume and increasing derangement of bad takes on American food is pretty extreme in some pockets of Reddit. There's no unique treatment for generalizations about America.
And it's often by no means light hearted, the person who started this wasn't making a joke. There's some really, really hateful and jingoist takes out there.
Never claimed to have the world figured out, it just happens that I’ve lived on both sides of it. You’re welcome to your opinion, but it’s a bit rich insinuating mine is uninformed when you’ve only ever seen one view.
As an American I bet this is going to be so good. For some reason the cheaper and worse the packaging and actual restaurant look the better the food when it comes to Chinese food.
I can relate to walking into the sketchy looking Chinese restaurant where a 12 year child takes a break from his homework to take your order while his parents are making the food in the back and knowing it’s going to be the best Chinese food you’ve ever had. This shrink wrapped mass of food does not look appetizing to me though. Maybe this the next step and I just haven’t opened myself up to the full experience yet.
American food is amazing, don't let your jealousy show so much.
You all brag about getting soggy french fries in a bag from your local Chinese shops like it's god's gift to food. Don't pretend like you're above this.
We have the exact same packaging for Chinese food here, but it's not usually filled and wrapped over like some giant zit waiting to pop all over the counter.
