Edit - palate , god damnit
I can agree with many of AA & Carl's points regarding American corporate food being junk, and having our pallets ruined to a degree. I can also agree that Mexican food, can be just slop.
However, I can't agree that the British diet of Beef and Gravy for nearly all hours and occasions is anything but patently absurd. Sometimes I have to be reminded that Britain is an an Island Chain, and yet fish is not a staple of their diet compared to beef. And yes, the inside of your weird beef-pot-pie is slop, and when you won't stop adding gravy, it also becomes slop.
Don't worry Britbongs, your slop can be good to, I think. At least you don't eat marmite.
What is confused about AA's perception of Americans is that he forgets we aren't European. Evola is correct. We are Liberal revolutionary republic, and within that we actually did create a new nation of people called Americans. We really aren't our predecessors, and we don't actually want to be European. We don't owe them, and we don't see them as superior, because they aren't. This isn't a rejection of "tradition", it's a rejection of them. We went our own way centuries ago.

Sensitive flex, but okay.
I only recently had real English cheddar for the first time, and it was one of the best taste experiences ever. It feels like I've been lied to my entire life by people calling Wisconsin cheese "cheddar". Red Leicester is even better.
So cheddar, meat pies, and fish and chips are at least three delicious original English foods. You can skip the gravy.
Welsh rarebit is pretty good.
