What is american food anyway? Serious question. It seems most american food is just “americanized” foreign food anyway….I cant think of original american recipes.
McDonald’s in most of the world has a larger menu than the ones in America, usually because they have more local versions and special options.
Aussies often put beetroot on their burgers for some fucking reason
Koreans will often put corn on their pizza, that’s a weird one
*palates
Pallet, palette, and palate are all different words that mean different things. Use each of them carefully.
Never tried it but i heard spaghetti sauce in Italy isnt sweet like it is in America. Guessing sugar is our way of Americanizing things
The post with the pizza from Italy that had hot dogs and French fries on it.
Literally a 🍔
We just add rice
Honestly…Japan’s Burger King had this Extreme Burger… I’ll just link it on what it looks like with someone’s actual review…[Extreme Burger](https://youtu.be/YLyo2NpkJrU)
Apple pies, Buffalo wings, and bbq ribs
They will just make thing into monstrously large portions, kill all the flavour with bell peppers or unusually sweet greasy sauce.
In Hong Kong they had a burger at McDonald’s with rice cakes instead of buns. It was the “Fan-tastic burger” because “fan” means rice.
I also ordered a shake but couldn’t fathom why seaweed or garlic were the only flavors. Ended up with a bag of fries with seaweed seasoning. The “shake shake fries” were pretty addictive.
Changing traditional British fish and chips into french fries and a couple of little battered chunks of fish.
Donuts in China are made of white bread doe. Bland. Pizza in China is sweet. Steak is often served covered in molten cheese. Basically, Western food in China tastes exactly like what Chinese people think Western food should taste like.
They also put corn and cucumbers on a pizza.
Pizza Hut and McDonald’s in India. The Pizza has a curry sauce and McDonald’s has a substitute of the McChicken called the McVeggie.
I had “pizza” in China once.. it was bread Werth ketchup abs cheese… I did not finish my ” slice”

North Korea makes dogloafs instead of meatloafs I here…
