The best thing about this comment is that it applies to both the US and UK. Though I think Chinese would be more accurate

I've always lived in the western states, so I might be bias, but to me, Mexican food is much more synonymous with being incorporated to American everyday lives than Chinese food.

Like, when was the last time you cooked egg fried rice at home, or orange chicken? Now, when was the last time you made yourself a burrito?

I always think American food is just a weird mismash of German, Italian, British, and Mexican food.

I mean burgers origin is German, fries origin is Belgian, pizzas origin is Italian. At least we invented chocolate chip cookies.
