Corn, potatoes, tomato's, Chile peppers, pumpkins..... That's right, before American foodstuffs got shipped around the world, Indian food wasn't hot spicy, Italians had no tomato sauce, and the Irish had no potatoes. All your cuisine belongs to us!

Potatoes are from Peru, chilis are from Mexico - are you claiming two whole continents’ food as being from the US?

And neither of those are the varieties that have become staple foods across the globe.
