America’s greatest strength was always how immigrants came here and adapted their traditional cuisines with resources they had at their disposal when they got here. You complain about American beer, but i am sure you have no issues with German curry wurst.
But curry wurst is an original German dish, so not sure that was the best example. Döner Kebab would be a better one, since that is very much a German variation on the original Turkish dish. And yes, German Döner is better. I never said I wasn’t a hypocrite.
No one in the US confuses pizza pockets for pizza. Pizza pockets are pizza flavored snacks. They took off because we had an entire generation if not generation and a half of latchkey kids who were coming home from school to an empty house.
We did however create Chicago style, New York style, California style and my favorite, Connecticut style pizzas that seem to be enjoyed the world over to my knowledge.
I love the staunch tradition that goes into German and Belgian beers. As well, the tradition in French wines and champagne. The makers and growers should be damned proud of their heritage because they nailed some shit. I think laws protecting or defining them are goofy and have kept tradition at the cost of experimenting. I love to see people in the UK buying backyard smokers and doing Texas style BBQ. I love that Guinness has remained true to itself and popular and don’t care for the Gonster myself but I love that they’re putting it out there. It’s just food. It’s okay to be playful in my opinion.
What gave it away?
Very much in the same way you kicked traditional pizza’s ass by turning it into pizza pockets, sure.

Yes, the very German foods of curry powder Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup.

The lack of humor, mostly
Perfect, that’s what I was going for.
