IDK, my Memphis style ribs and blackened burger with caramelized onions and blue cheese begs to differ.
But I don’t really know much about British food aside for the jokes about depressing bean dishes and of course the “English breakfast.” Lol
Comment on Why does this even exist?

This is why Americans are the only country that doesn’t get to insult British food.

That’s because you haven’t had the perfect british dish ever created! Chicken tikka masala, the most british dish you could ever find. Beloved by all. Very British. Definitely not from, influenced, or inspired by any other country or its diaspora. Nope…
Whats wrong with the English breakfast? You definitely didn’t have one you’d be full until dinner time otherwise.

Sorry I forget Americans don’t get banter.

American living abroad, food is one of the things I miss the most, and not just classic American foods. But, outside of extremely large metropolises, international options are often lacking in European cities in general.
gmtom@lemmy.world 7 months ago
That’s true in America too no? Like from my experience even fairly large towns just have the major fast food brands and not much else, unless they’re on the southern border.
Donkter@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I think that’s kind of true. There’s no “traditional” restaurants from other countries, but in every small town in America you can have a choice between “Italian” food(both “fancy” restaurants like olive garden and pizza) “Chinese” food, “Mexican” food and the occasional gyro shop, German place or Indian place.

Yeah same in Europe for the most part. There are a few places I’ve been that are very rural and traditional, that don’t have that, especially out east or in countries like Italy, but most towns have your typical Chinese, Italian and indian/Greek/Turkish place sending on the specific area.

Not at all, this is just relevant because its one of the types of food I miss the most, but in my city in the US of like 500,000, there were like 5 Ethiopian restaurants. I now live in a European capital city, with millions of people. If I wanted Ethiopian food I’d have to go to another country.
gmtom@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Can I ask what city because there only 10 cities in Europe with a population in the multi millions and pretty sure all would have Ethiopian food even if its quite niche.
And I’m sure I could pick some big cities in the US that are missing certain cuisines that are common in Europe. Like does Charlotte NC or Jacksonville have any Polish restaurants? Or Morocco restaurants? As in my limited experience you’ll be lucky to get a “”“European”“” or “”“Mediterranean”“” resturaunt at best outside of the most major cities with large inmigrsnt populations like LA and New York.
