    Nah the US pretty much has equally bland and trashy food. It's mainly an issue with anglo food for some reason.

        I'm sure there's some good American stuff but I'm not sure what it is in particular... I mean burgers are actually nice I guess and there's some neat sauces, I'll give you that much but burgers are also somewhat bland I guess. I think the issue with American food is that the country was built on massive virginal plains where you could raise huge numbers of animals so settlers did just that which meant American food just became generic meat.

          American bbq is really fucking good. Texmex slaps. There is a part of me that will always want a burger, fries, and a milkshake.

          Listen, I'm from Finland so I'm definitely not trying to get on some cuisine superiority soapbox here (Would you like some macaroni casserole)

          Honestly I tried tikka masala in the UK and even that was kinda bland and surprisingly tasteless. I don't even know how they managed to make it tasteless. Maybe it was partly the ingredients at fault. But eventually I ended up eating just that or grabbing some falafel whenever I could because they were better than anything else.
