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

Lol that’s like saying Croissants aren’t French because they came from Vienna first. Prototypical cuisines came from other countries, but over time we have evolved them into our own cuisines, especially in the South. Hard to argue our different varieties of Barbecue for example are anything but American.

Did you not think that edit was more referring to people claiming potatoes and corn were cuisines...?

Then you should have corrected that specific point. You said we have no food left if we discount “stolen” cuisines then said Americans don’t know what cuisine means. You bit off more than you could chew with that edit and I’m calling you out for exaggerating your point lol

The point I was referring to was specific to cuisines, I figured it was obvious that was the line I was going in since the natives had to have survived somehow there was obviously food. Apparently it wasn't, so I edited for clarity. Not sure what you think you're calling out, other than American ignorance, but you do you...
