Comment on The US population only accounts for 4.2% of the world.

I’m not opposed to being called burgerland, but I’m wondering why burgers and not hot dogs or apple pie. I think we should start referring to all countries by their national food.

Only Americans thinks that apple pie is a specifically American food.

  Apple pie, hot dogs, and baseball… There is no American food. Maybe fry bread?

True, as burgers didn’t actually originate in the USA anyway. Are there any foods that are 100% USA creations?

  I’m not sure anyone has original food. Isn’t it all just the same stuff in regional flavors with available ingredients? We should just go by what’s popular, or perceived to be popular, which i guess does make us burgerland.

  Fried butter? (The fact that this is a real thing is worrisome)
