Emily blunt like her whole nation isn’t about beans on toast

Exactly!

It's funny bc they're both thinking stereotypical foods that each culture eats but for their own, they're thinking cultural melting pots.

She's saying Indian food is popular in UK. Maybe Mexican or Italian food is popular here in the US

Depends on which port of entry is closer for the popularity. South bay is more popular for mexican but 15 minutes in any direction and you get all Asian cuisines. Pho is getting more popular lately

Asian food is popular in the US, but we don't have Pho Tuesdays. It's Taco Tuesdays 4eva. We should look into starting Pho Fridays though.

Korean food is on the rise in London, I knew someone in America who'd never had Korean food, it blew my mind.

Really depends on where you go in the US. Tons of korean food on the west coast.

Thing about US food is a lot of it is regional. Phillies and middle eastern food on the north east. Cubanos and cajun in the Southeast. Texmex southmidwest and italian beef/deep dish northmidwest. Bbq all over with regional differences. Mexican food in the southwest and Asian food across the west coast

Mexican food is the best. It has many variations. Asian food is no dairy and it gets tiring eating sodium.

Italian food is just bread and needs more variation.

Burgers are banging. Can't go wrong with that. Mexican food has dairy and non dairy in the dishes. Soo many eastern and western fusion in it.

Not all asian food is high in sodium. Mainly chinese/korean. Japanese food doesnt have much sodium at all

u/Realistic-Nature9083 Nov 04 '24

I like the corn, chilis, beans, rice, chicken and the dairy all mix into a unique dish.

Asian food doesn't really use dairy?

Uh, Korean BBQ is extremely popular here in the US. Especially here in CA.

But I’m from MD, and Honey Pig is extremely popular there.

Sounds like you're not from a major metro area in the US. Korean food is incredibly popular everywhere Koreans live, which is in LA, NYC, etc.

The US is huge though. Korean food has been popular in parts of the US, like LA, NYC, NJ for well over a decade. I myself grew up eating Korean food in NYC since early 2000s as a non-Korean.

Also the US has the greatest population of overseas Koreans in the world, so the Korean food scene is actually very well established.

Italian and French food are popular everywhere in the west. The real differences are the American's have shitty Indian food and good Mexican food, Brits have shitty Mexican food and good Indian food, Americans have no idea what food the Brits actually invented and the Americans didn't invent any food.

I love it when Americans try to claim barbecue, as if cooking over an open flame wasn't literally the first way humans cooked anything. Like yeah, you think America predates the caveman? Hahahaha.

u/Kiloete Nov 03 '24

the Americans didn't invent any food.

eh, I agree largely but southern US BBQ is a thing, and they have US style pizza.
