I've heard that food in the US is generally bad, so maybe not the best comparison ๐ ๐
He's Canadian.
You cant trust those frozen tree suckers
How rude (although it was a clever insult and I literally laughed. I needed that. Thanks)!
Are the trees frozen or the suckers?
Depending on the time of year, yes.
They clearly never had soul food or Gullah/Geechee food.
I like the safety third crew but they've also ate dog food and didn't find much issue with it.
That's a really good point ๐
Lmao!
A lot of people everywhere don't know how to cook. They don't even bother to try and learn, so they rely on corporate packaged foods and restaurants. That's a separate thing from the cuisine of a given place, or the cooking of people that do know how to.
That may seem like sophistry, but it is an important point to remember when talking about cooking when not joking around for fun. You can't really use people that aren't actually doing a thing, or have never learned how to do it as an representative example of what a country's core is. It's like athletics, you can't say that Ethiopians are bad ice skaters if the average person can't access time and equipment to ice skate in the first place. (Not picking on Ethiopia, it was just the first country that came to mind as not being very present in the world ice skating stage).
It's legit to say that the US has a major food education problem, as does the UK from what I've heard, but that is a different issue than the national cuisine.
True, it's not American cuisine that's bad, apparently McDonald's hamburgers taste better in NZ than the USA too, probably because all the beef here is grass fed.
