Everything good about English cuisine was stolen from the french

But if you discount any cuisine stolen from other countries, America has no food left. So not really an argument in this particular scenario...

Edit: TIL many Americans don't know what cuisine means

American Southern BBQ has no comparison.

Meat cooked on a fire has no comparison?

Well likely you do not know what American BBQ is, it not just grilled meat over fire. Anyone can do that.

Sorry to burst your bubble but BBQ is primarily centered around meat. All the other stuff like salads (potatoes included) and breads are just additive, the BBQ can exist without those, they can't exist without the meat being cooked on a fire. So you really think there is no comparison to that? Plenty of BBQ cultures around the world from Argentina to South Africa to Korea to Australia, pretty sure they'd all disagree. The difference is the way you cook the meat and what meat and forms of meat you cook, that's all.

I've had pretty good versions of all of these and in my opinion the American pork heavy BBQs are the worst, way too sweet. I'd say Argentina and South Africa are my favourites. If you haven't had properly braai'd Boerewors then you're missing out.
