Food guide;

British food is tasteless
French food is pretentious
italian food takes all afternoon
American food is poisonous
Indian food is special because it uses something called “spice” and no one else does apparently
asians eat rice
anyone east of Berlin eats either turnips or caviar

What did I miss ?

American food is poisonous

American food is grease and sugar. Pure grease and sugar. Sometimes combined. God, I want a funnel cake right now.

Dammit, I just realized I haven't had a funnel cake in literal years. How sad.

And funnel cakes are arguably Eastern European/Germanic. It's a similar batter as Dutch Baby (think Dutch as in "Deutsch"), aka German Pancake (and also popovers). There's a slight change for each one, but essentially an eggy batter with no leavening.

Though I'd guess every country has a version of it, and brought it with them to the US.
