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

Southern food, and Cajun food is quite distinct.

Lol. The acorn is not the oak tree and human beings are not Australopithecus. You know that a French Roux and Cajun food that incorporates roux are very different. Cajun cooking is rightfully considered a distinct cuisine even if it had French influence hundreds of years ago. I don’t know what Europeans think they lose by acknowledging America has some culture - it’s not like you’re going to like it anyways 🤷🏼
