Have you had any experience with "American" food outside of America?
This is American Fried Rice in Thailand. It's made with fried chicken, ham, hot dogs, raisins, ketchup, and croutons.
I had clam chowder here in Mexico. It was nice and delicious 2bh.
I love American food.
>>7623257
Mexico here too, it is hit and miss. One winner is a burger place here that actually puts fried ham along with bacon and cheese on a burger.
Tex-mex food in Germany
>magaritas on point
>order food, ordered enchiladas
>food comes out, basically paella (wut)
>lima beans (wut) and corn everywhere
>whole pickled jalapenos decking the entire side of dish
>some chicken mixed in with paella
But in the end I just ate it and since I was with my german friends I thanked them for taking me some place that felt like home (the thought was what mattered most).
It wasn't tex-mex, but I'm glad someone thought enough to take me to it.
Patrick star pizza in taiwan
Some sort of weird ricotta/cream cheese, taco meat, broccoli.
>>7623331
The rest of the menu, some pretty shitty stuff on there and the dessert menu isn't even desserts.
shitty burger in peru
check out this pizza
>>7623257
That's fucked up
Had a really disgusting pepper pizza in Viet Nam.
It was a pepper sauce instead of a tomato sauce based pizza. Except there was almost no sauce and it was basically 2 pounds of dumped black pepper.
>>7623257
>hot dogs, raisins, ketchup, and croutons.
What the fuck
>>7623335
They aren't desserts because it's the desert menu.
>>7623341
da fug is this
>>7623297
One thing Mexicans cannot do is make hamburgers. I'm sorry, but I can't trust my own kind with making a hamburger.
>>7623554
it's shit
>>7623548
No deserts either, aren't even dry foods.
>>7623548
>>7623563
Oh and there were multiple signs that said risotto but b none on the menu.
>>7623292
looks pretty american tbhh
>>7623563
A desert isn't a primary climate for civilized people, more of a side climate. Thus side dishes go on the desert menu.
>>7623341
I can't tell if the burger is huge or the fries are tiny
>>7623302
Oh my holy fuck.......
>>7623331

>>7623341

>>7623292
This is actually pretty accurate, everything outside of the US that they call "American Style" is just basically any food, plus ketchup and white bread
I warn everyone, this is not for the faint of heart:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngmX0LwuLo0
This is how America is represented as both food and people to the world. It is painful to see.
>>7624409
It didn't look too bad
I'd probably buy it unless it had like hot dogs or shit on it
>>7623257
I went to Popeye's Chicken in Dongduchon, South Korea. I ate yakimandu, bulgogi and noodles. Why? Because that was the most American thing on the menu.
>>7623302
In Europe, everything American has corn on it.
>>7623355
>Le pizza is American maymay
>>7623555
I can't make burgers either 2bh, the meat is just like crumbs and falls apart when I try to form one. I would use a binder like an egg but apparently that is a major no no.
>>7624266
Maze is an American food and your media shows you eating corn on the cob constantly. It is a very strong symbol of America so it being pu ton faux burger food makes sense.
>>7624399
Indeed, take any food and pleb it up a bit, bam, you have American food.
>>7624266
well at least japan has the reason that americans were the ones to introduce corn to the country during the war
>>7624424
Can confirm
>>7624436
What the fuck are you doing to the meat to make it fall apart?!
>>7624459
>that crust
>>7624441
>your media shows you eating corn on the cob constantly
What?
>>7624466
I'm literally opening the package and shaping the meat into a burger. I have tried making them bigger, smaller, thicker, thinner and compressing them between two pans. They fall apart every single time.
They never smell right either.
>>7624430
Pizza is American you fucking faggot
>>7623302
I wonder if real tex-mex or maybe new mexican food would be a big hit in a european country.
>>7624472
You heard me. It's all family barbecues with flags and corn eating on a wooden table.
>>7624477
I would guess that you're not cooking them at a high enough heat. The sear should help it hold together. Also, if too much water comes out and stays in the pan, it will not only smell funny but the meat will begin to stew which will cause it to fall apart.
>>7624479
Kill yourself my man.
>>7624409
Now I'm very interested in how americans are portrayed in media in the rest of the world.
>>7624479
You are so fucking stupid.
>>7624494
As a non-Germany this does seem pretty similar. All nuclear family and people being overly emotional and lovey while mentioning America as much as possible.
It just needed some more flags, and chanting "USA!USA!" or pledge of allegiance and it would be basically what we have.
>>7624498
Modern pizza is just about the most American food you can get outside of hamburgers. Let's not get nerdy romantic about ancient Rome and a couple of leaves and cheese on bread.
>>7624477
I want to help you, but I can't even guess what you're doing wrong.
The only thing I can guess is the quality of meat you're buying is awful.
>>7624487
First off, I don't know about that.
Second, in BBQ pictures they're eating corn because it's BBQ food. Shouldn't all these pizzas be covered with pulled pork or hamburgers instead.
>>7624521
>Shouldn't all these pizzas be covered with pulled pork or hamburgers instead.
They are, but those are two different varieties of American pizzas. The corn is a base ingredient like the tomato sauce and cheese. In fact the tomato sauce is sometimes a barbecue sauce so corn is more of a baseline of American pizza than the sauce.
>>7624521
No because that would make sense on an "American style" food
Course I mean it's nice to know that the rest of the world is just ignorant about other cultures they claim us to be.
>>7624521
It's not just at a BBQ, every time you are shown eating as a family there is always a tray of corn with the meal.
>>7624521
Americans seem to exclusively eat like that though. Take King of the Hill, they don't even use their oven and exclusively eat using their barbecue.
>>7624521
I have never seen nor ever heard of corn on a pizza (in the U.S.). I've lived in 13 states and have traveled to all 50. I heard the Japs do it.
>>7624541
To cook food, you apply heat. The method of heat is insignificant. Assigning significance to it broadcasts your immaturity.
>>7624505

Since when? I have never heard that. Everyone I've ever seen make hamburgers has added an egg.

>>7624606
You shuffle your thoughts like you shuffle cards, too many of them fall on the floor.

I once asked on here and all of the Americans jumped down my throat saying using a binder like an egg or breadcrumbs is disgusting and a real burger should be beef and salt, nothing more.

>>7624640
That's not modern, you insufferable dope. Modern is what you find in the United States. Also - it is 100x fucking superior than anything "original."

Gripping onto nostalgia like it was a life raft in a hurricane is just as useless. Come aboard the modern times. You know, the modern times that started back in the 1950s. We (Americans) adopted the pizza and made it our own. Pizza just isn't pizza unless you get it in the States.
You're only kidding yourself if you argue.

Yes anon, a satirical cartoon in TX is completely accurate of the whole country.
>>7624809
That's hilarious. It's called 'Ranch" because the dressing was invented by some couple who owned a dude Ranch or something. The actual combination of Ranch dressing is buttermilk, salt, garlic, onion, herbs, and spices, and typically mayo or some other oily base.
>>7624802
Hmm... That's rather bothersome. Texas is quite a fine example of the United States. The only thing it fails to amplify is the homosexuality the media craves from the big cities.
>>7624809
the basic ranch dressing is garlic, dill, chives, black pepper, salt, and buttermilk

>>7624840
i like it on a salad most, also its good to dip pizza in. i know, i know, it sounds like the most barbaric thing in the world to dip pizza into dressing, but the taste combination is very popular. at least behind closed doors.
>>7624840
Usually on salads like cobb salad or as a dip with crudites but it's offered as a condiment with chicken nuggets at lots of major fast food restaurants, and people do dip their fries in it. Fried pickles are a must with it in the south. It's also not unheard of to pour it over pizza. Basically anything greasy and fried goes good with it. Or if you're feeling extra American just chug that shit.
>>7624535
>Course I mean it's nice to know that the rest of the world is just ignorant about other cultures they claim us to be.
Good point.
>>7624540
I think this only offends me because I hate corn.
>>7624541
BBQ is absolutely a strong part of American culture. If our culture is going to be appropriated, seems like the right way to do it.
If you are actually ignorant and not just kidding, though, no, it's not exclusive. It's actually (for most) a minority of meals. Just the best meals.
When I was in high school I cooked almost everything I ate on the grill, though.
It was never corn.

>>7624841
Do Americans legitimately have a collective mental disorder?
>>7624846
Pizza Hut in the states serves barbecue pork pizza. But the corn thing...That's not real here. No place has that and no one would ever think to ask for it. I'm sure it's tasty though. I made a vegetable pizza once with corn and squash on it and that was surprisingly good.
>>7624637
They're right, and I don't know what the anon you're responding to is tripping on.
The point of the hamburger is the beef, and what you put on top of the beef. Egg takes away from the beef, and is also completely unnecessary to the creation of a patty.
I mean, if you for some reason like the flavor of egg in your ground beef, by all means, you do you. It will make your hamburgers weird to most people, though.
>>7624846
What part of that is so absurd?
>>7623257

>>7624840
You can have it with basically everything. It is that good!
Seriously, it is mainly a salad dressing or a dip for chicken wings, but nobody would look at you funny for dipping your fries in it.
>>7624657
>Now why would you imply I was using cheap meat like that?
Not him, but if you're the one whose patties are falling apart and whose meat smells weird, low-grade or old beef is about the only thing I can think of.
Though >>7624488 might be right. I've never cooked a burger on low heat, so I can't be sure.
>When I see Americans make burgers it seems much more paste like, mushy.
At a fast food place, sure. At any actual restaurant -- even chains -- definitely not.
Anyone with any ability whatsoever to make a hamburger is going to handle the meat very minimally, so it ends up being a loosely-packed collection of ground texture. Nothing mushy at all.
You could definitely mash and handle the meat long enough it turned in to mushy goop, though, and a lot of processed places essentially do that. That's someone who is a total idiot, though. Even awful cooks don't do it, and it doesn't happen accidentally. It's literally failing on purpose.
>>7624809
That is so much more accurate to stereotyping us than putting corn on pizza.
Good job, Holland. I'm adding this to the things I love about you.
Also, I just realized I don't actually know what goes in ranch dressing. However, if you put it on everything, you can call it American and we can't actually argue with you.
guys shut the fuck up and talk about american food outside of america
It's novel
I found a picture! It's real! This is the best!

I went to a Mcdonalds in Germany and that shit was like a legit restaurant. I asked for a glass of water and they brought it to me in a real glass. Seriously, food aside, it made me realize how wasteful everything in America is. Takeout containers, plastic cups, plastic dinner ware, napkins in bathrooms, the amount of disposable items we have for every task is crazy.
>>7624840
Fries is actually a good guess, because it's a really, really common choice of dipping sauce for fries. Same for chicken tenders.
Mainly, it's for salad. Almost every American restaurant you go to has a salad with ranch dressing as an option, often the only option.
Chicken/turkey with bacon and ranch (and usually cheddar) is a common combo for stuff like sandwiches.
Then there are a lot of people who like the anon above says just plain put it on everything. EVERYTHING. Hot dogs, hamburgers (which is actually really good and common, to be fair), pizza, chips, tuna, carrots, ham, steak. . .
>>7624912
I slob around with many groups of people in the metro Detroit area, particularly Wyandotte. We eat, drink and make merry. Out of all the foods over all the years, I have never encountered "ranch" dressing as a condiment. It must be a local thing.
Now they begin to understand that their derision for other cuisines might have more to do with their country's weird interpretation of and attempts at them.

>It must be a local thing.
It must be, and by that I mean that you DON'T do ranch as a condiment.
Everywhere I've ever been -- to varying degrees, to be fair -- has ranch as a condiment. That's about 30 states, having lived in eight different cities, and traveling constantly. Ranch is pretty close to as generic American food as you can get.
That said, I would believe there are pockets of the country that somehow don't have them. Sort of like Utah, Idaho, and eastern Washington and Oregon have packaged fry sauce just about everywhere and the rest of the country doesn't.
>>7625012
Eggs ON hamburgers are unheard of. What is unlikely to be seen is people mixing the actual egg IN the ground beef.

Deep dish pizza in Tokyo at DevilCraft. Not as good as in Chicago obviously but still very good and a welcome break from the millions of Italian pizza places in the city.
Small is insanely small (the diameter of an iPhone) but the large with the amazing craft beer is plenty for two people. The place was always packed even after they opened a second location so I expect deep dish pizza to start catching on more in Tokyo in the next few years
>>7625012
I've almost never seen it on the east coast, but pretty much every single burger place in Japan offers it. I tried it a few times and just felt it was an unnecessary expense. The taste changed, but it didn't add much to the burger so was never worth the extra money.

It's actually pretty good, just obviously has nothing to do with Texas. Here's another bit of "Texan" fast food (McDonalds).
Beef patty, 2 slices cheddar, pepperoni, batavia lettuce, tomato, red onion, mayo, spicy tomato sauce, topped with chili flakes and dill
>>7625145
The crust is easily 1.5 times as thick as pizza hut, and if you know how thick PH crust is you'd know that's way too fucking thick.
Try again.
>>7625155
try what again?
>>7625155
I delivered for pizza hut. That crust looks the same as the frozen dough discs we use in the states. They just didn't cover the pizza with toppings properly which makes the dough look thicker.
>>7625136
It just looks like a shitty chain pizza with a little less cheese than usual. Not a monstrosity by any means

The first place I ever saw an egg on a burger in the US was Red Robin with the Royal Red Robin burger. It's been there at least since the mid-90s. Used to be my go-to.
I know I've seen it elsewhere in recent years, though I can't give you spots off the top of my head. I remember somewhere advertising, "breakfast on a burger?" but can't remember where. There are a couple, "gourmet," burger places down here (Orlando) that do it on at least one burger.
>>7625117
This is just my favorite thing. Because I know we do this to other country's food, so it's wonderful to see them do the same.
Texas is not an awful description for this, but it's still pretty funny. It's just that Texas bbq is more beef, oriented than chicken, and I want to know what the sauce is like before I call it Texan.
Still, though, the corn is just the most hilarious fucking thing.

It's not really trying to be a "Texan" pizza. As in, it's not trying to be a pizza you'd have in Texas. It's just a pizza with some fairly generic barbecue sauce instead of a tomato sauce and usually a few different meats on top.
Nobody think it's a taste of Texas.
>>7625654

I have more like these. Here's "Chicago Chicken" from the same line as the Texas pepperoni thing.

>>7625154
Without the pepperoni, this kind of makes sense.
If you told me to make a Texas burger, I'd probably just use a fuck huge patty, top it with pepper jack cheese, some jalapeños, a couple onion rings, and cover it in BBQ sauce.
For non-Americans, Texas's big "things" are: shit is huge, BBQ, beef, and spicy. That's literally it.

It is most likely 2 thing. Meat/fat ratio should be close to 80% lean to 20% fat. The fat acts as a binder. Coarseness of grind maybe too fine or too chunky. I don't grind my own meat because I'm American and can get delicious ground chuck anytime. But if I was in a non burger country I'd look into it. A burger should never need binder. Also don't over handle the meat. Doesn't need to be a perfect shaped patty don't squeeze hard.

Haven't been back in years though, unfortunately. From what I remember it stacks up well to places like Dinosaur BBQ here in the States, if not better.
Any Britbongs been there? What'd you think?

No, Chicago is the place to risk being raped/murdered/ set on fire - in no particular order -so you can fill up on delicious Harold's fried chicken. Don't forget to grab an order of fried chicken livers while there as well.
just like mama use to make
>>7626140
Pretty sure that's mayo +bbq sauce.
When I was in yuropoorland for a while, everything normal sized was called "Big American". "Big American ice cream scoop" was a normal sized ice cream scoop, while the normal yuropoor size was like the size of a kumquat.

>Americans are a joke.
>for liking micro brewed beer compared to their shit macro's
Some of the stuff their craft beer places make are pretty damn good mate. can't blame them for hating nasty shit like bud light and whatnot
>>7625877
Ohhhhhhh okay.
>>7626054
One of the best things I learned -- and it took me 30 years of life before I trusted someone to try and -- is start with a loosely packed ball, and only make it a patty by pressing down when it hits the heat.
And do it immediately. If you press a burger in the first few seconds, you'll get even crust without losing juice.
Never looked back since I started forming them that way.
>>7626152
Ok I'm game to try but I grill over a lump charcoal grill with a grate won't I push the burger through the grating? Or is this technique strictly for pans and flat top griddles?
>>7625724
at least it doesn't have corn
>>7623257
Had Mexican food in Germany. The salsa was just pureed tomatoes. Fucking weird.
>>7626208
Oh, if you're grilling then no, press it before cooking. Lightly.
>>7625692
>MCENNEDY
So good
>>7626028
I don't see where that reaction comes from. You don't like pulled pork or burgers? Commie.
>>7626063
Texas is more well known than those and has the barbecue sauce association.
>>7626072
Why is corn suddenly so disgusting depending on if it is a pizza or not? It's exactly like the beans for breakfast suddenly being the most horrific act imaginable.
Do Americans have autism which gets triggered if something isn't used for what you are used to?
>>7626089
That doesn't look like Cheddar, it looks like that shitty American cheese.
>>7626099
I haven't been there but it makes sense, we have a large American population in London. A large French one to the point London would be the fourth largest French city by population.
>>7625692
the thing in your picture looks disgusting but New York pizza is top tier m8, not as good as super-thin italian pizza but it's not doughy and just the right amount of unhealthy fat
>>7626147
It's actually more Big Mac sauce than Marie Rose sauce.
>>7626149
Except that wasn't the reason for the comment and you know it. Muh microbruhs is what normal people drink everywhere. It's only recently that they have started to make drinkable beer and they act like they invented it and it's only in America.
That is why they are a joke.
Yet another America bashing thread
Fuck off back to /int/
>>7627465
Read the thread, fuck face. God clappyfats have such a persecution complex.

Your meat is too lean. You want at least 20% fat.
>>7624540
Even if that's the case, the corn is by itself, it's it's own thing, We don't take the corn OFF the cob and put it on other shit as a topping, it's it's own food.
>>7624484
Probably not. Mexican food here in Europe is tailored to local tastes. Real Mexican spice doesn't go over here very well. I haven't had real Mexican food since I left el Paso.
>>7627396
Because when you're eating a pizza, you want it to feel like eating a pizza. Having a corn kernel suddenly burst in your mouth is going to ruin that.
It's like if you were eating steak and you found out that someone had for some ungodly reason punched your steak full of holes and filled them with green peas. You might like green peas; you might even eat them with your steak, but mother of god why would you put them IN the steak!?
>>7627573
>here in Europe
I can feel your weight through the screen, burger.
>>7627583
>burger
Project harder fag.
>>7627689
Calm down fatty, it's not good for your blood pressure.
>>7627778
You sure told me, pal.
>>7625647
A lot of it is crap to mediocre since cheese is very expensive, but the guy who won best pizza in the world (Italian competition) was Japanese and he won it for like 5 years straight in the early 2010s. It was definitely the best Italian pizza I'd ever had but it was still Italian pizza.
>>7625139
For years Eurofags argued about how awesome they were at beer. Now there are tons of American microbreweries absolutely dominating all the beer competitions so of course now having a lot of different types of quality beers is lame in Europe
>>7627861
Do you people all read from the same script? It's the same damage control every time you are called out, but that particular repeating a lie while ignoring the criticism form of damage control that the Disney shills on /tv/ do.
>>7627867
>Green texting a single thing is a real criticism
Thats not criticism thats butthurt.
>>7627573
Yeah, Eastern Washington is like this, too.
There are a TON of Mexican restaurants, because there's a rich history of migrant workers. There is a massive population of people who immigrated fairly recently in their family history from Mexico, to the point where in much of the east side of the state, latino is the majority, and you wouldn't be able to tell it from New Mexico or Texas.
They frequently make these authentic(ish) restaurants based on their family tradition, and very quickly learn they have to mild everything down for the tastes of local Whites and Asians, who can't handle anything past old black pepper. That's not an exaggeration, of all the places in this country I've spent time, no region is more averse to spice and flavor than the pacific northwest. Ruins the potential of a lot of restaurants.
>>7627861
You win nothing and have terrible beer.
This is why the world hates you, your self delusion and awful attitude.
>>7627394
And that's my point: it's hilarious. It's exactly what we do to other countries, where you make something that sounds like it makes sense to someone who's not actually from the country of origin, but isn't actually accurate. And it's funny as hell, and I genuinely enjoy that it happens to us, too.
>>7627396
Well, corn isn't actually good, and definitely doesn't go with pizza.
Just like beans aren't actually good, and definitely don't go well with eggs and bacon.
Corn is for making stuff with, not for just throwing kernels on stuff as a topping.
>>7627874
I'm nothing to do with your conversation but why do non-whites have this weird idea that if food doesn't taste of chilis then it tastes bland?
That's Roman garum tier broken tastebuds.
>>7627879
>Just like beans aren't actually good, and definitely don't go well with eggs and bacon.
Isn't that a common British thing?
>>7627874
>no region is more averse to spice and flavor than the pacific northwest
Eastern Washington and Western Washington are very different places. Spice and flavour are well common and accepted on a lot of the western side, particularly around the Puget Sound area.
>>7627879
Oh you're the one at the top right now, it really shouldn't surprise you that there is a market for using your branding.
a lot of these things are always labelled "Americas favourite" or "the number one choice of America". You should go on expat forums for yanks to see a lot of reactions to these claims from new arrivals.
>>7627879
Wrong and wrong, you're two for two.
>>7627857
When you say, "Italian pizza," how exactly are you defining that? You mean pizza like this?
>>7627883
Yes, garbage food is a common British thing.
Fish and chips had to have been some kind of accident, even as simple as they are.
>>7627884
>Spice and flavour are well common and accepted on a lot of the western side, particularly around the Puget Sound area.
Don't lie to me. I've spent almost as much time on the west side as the east side, and local food is even more bland than the east side, and WAY more bland than most of the rest of the country. You're just trying to make your home region sound good.
The exception is the sea food. The sea food is great. People absolutely know how to prepare fish out here, and fish is something that benefits from minimal seasoning. They don't get credit for how good the local stuff swimming around is, though.
>>7627887
It surprises me a little, because other countries complain about it happening to their own culture so much, I would kind of expect them to be above doing it themselves.
The thing is, I see absolutely nothing wrong with hilarious cultural re appropriation -- at least with something harmless like food -- and love seeing it.
That right there is really close to accurate, though. Only difference is that Chicago deep dish -- which is awful, by the way -- uses crust traditionally that is more like flaky pie crust, and the ingredients are layered more like a mixture, rather than the 1-2-3 formula of most pizza where sauce is always strictly on the bottom and cheese is always strictly after that.
>>7627899
god your attitude stinks.
>>7627907
>local food
Well, obviously that's going to be bland as fuck.
There's plenty of ethnic places that don't "mild down" their food, though. Unless it's seafood, I don't much bother with local fare. I'm a gook anyway, and there are a fuckton of other Asians here so ethnic is my usual.
>>7627879
Your arrogance is disgusting.
>>7627907
Maybe your tongue is just fucked. If you can't appreciate anything not covered in spices then the problem lies with you.
>>7627923
>Well, obviously that's going to be bland as fuck.
But that's not obviously, because it's not true for much of the rest of the country.
In the other states I've spent the bulk of my time (Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, California, Florida, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina), a Mexican family can start a restaurant and still have salsa that isn't just tomatoes and onions.
>>7627918
The difference is that Americans take real traditional foods, make a complete travesty of them and then try to pass them off as the real thing instead of just a generic thing form the country.
If they were just generic "taste of France" type products then nobody would care. Instead you label local ripoffs as the PDO originals.
>>7627924
No, corn kernels are disgusting.
>>7627926
Did you miss the whole part about seafood? About how good it is when it's NOT spiced out?
Mexican food is SUPPOSED to be full of spices. It's part of the whole deal. If you CAN'T appreciate that, the problem lies with you.
Same thing with the northwest's attempt at barbecue, btw.
