[Furball]

the greatest thing about America is the porn industry.

[DREDIOCK]

Though we may not have an actual national food
We have several foods that are uniquely american.
Or at least got their start here

The aforementioned hamburgers,
Hot Dogs
Corn
Turkey
Jerky
Potato Chips
French fries
Buffalo wings
BBQ'ed anything
Many of the Chineese foods we get in Chineese resturants like Chop Suey got their start when the railroad was first being built

Lets not forget Spam

I bet the GI's from WWII wont

So, instead of always having to eat Italian food, or French or Chinese, we can say, "Hey, honey! Whaddya feel like eating tonight? Mexican? Japanese? Lutefisk?"

What makes you think that the availability of international cuisine is solely an American privilege? I live in a tiny little town on a tiny little island, and within 5 miles of here we have a most marvellous Spanish restaurant, various Indian restaurants, also Chinese, Thai, Greek, an Italian Trattoria... Best of all is an Italian "ristorante" about 12 miles from here - one of the only places where I will order a dessert because they are so good. It really is Italian too - run by Italians who were born in Italy. These are just examples. There are others. No Olive Garden crap here, and none of this "Hi I'm Jade, and I'll be your server tonight". (In the US, I normally pre-empt that with "Hi, I'm Alan and I'll be your customer tonight")


I don't know what it is about some Americans who have something good, and then assume that they're the only country to have it. Oh wait - I do. They've never been out of the US.

Thats from the "steamed" onions that sit there for a week at a time in the grill.  What, you think they throw the old ones away?

You'd be surprised.  I wont touch it with a 10 foot pole, but here its considered a staple.  People eat it with everything.  I've even seen "gourmet" restaraunts that use SPAM in funky meals and charge you 20 bucks for it, just like it was some delicacy.  YUCK!!

[DREDIOCK]

Imagine that.

 An Italian resturant actually run by Italians.
What WILL they think of next LMAO

You can judge resturants by who eats there.

Example,
 We had for a while a great little mexican food joint by us (No not Taco Bell)

I knew it was going to be good as soon as I walked in there.
Fully half of the customers eating there were Mexican.
I was not dissapointed.
