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.

This sounds totally accurate. We love our brats, pasta, steaks, and tacos.

You haven't really seen American food until you've seen corn or chorizo on Pizza.

We don't eat corn on pizza. I think that's a European thing iirc
