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.
"If you want to make a comment supporting Mexicans food, I'll just delete your comment."
Sensitive flex, but okay.
Oddly enough, eels used to be such a staple in old England that you would pay your rent with them.
