      Why not? If that is the case then American cuisine is limited to corn syrup and growth hormones.

            Because they send a dude over to liberate the tomato from those silly Americans that were just wasting it’s potential!

          No, because if you deny everything British that is similar to something else you must do the same for everything American. Doesn’t leave you with many options.

        Because including any kind of Anglo infusion cuisine would go against the narrative that food in the UK is bad.

        There’s more than one American cuisine. Southern, Northern Mexican (Cal-Mex, Tex-Mex, etc), New York (basically fusion of Jewish and Irish in a few things), American Chinese, etc.

        American fast food is common, but not the whole thing.

          Nope, if Britain can’t have anything similar to another culture then America can’t have anything Irish, Jewish or Mexican either.

            or Mexican either.

            Uh ‘Mexican’ isn’t indigenous either . . . it results from the fusion of Native American, Spanish, and French cuisines, among others.

            And there isn’t a single Mexican cuisine either, there’s multiple.

              There are some indigenous mexican peoples still around, and with that their cuisines.

              A minority cause of all the invading and pillaging done by Europe and America, but they’re still around.

              Latest census data: 11,800,247 self-identified Indigenous Mexicans (9.36% of the total population of Mexico)
