      Same when I hear fries are from Europe. Bro, really? Potatoes at from Chile and Peru, how people can believe fries are form Europe hahahaha.

      I hate how he says barbecue, but then uses burgers as an example. My guy, you could’ve said ribs, pulled pork, cornbread, c’mon!!!!

      Tbh the first French fries probably are (south) American. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone in what is now Chile or something fried up some sliced potatoes before Europeans even arrived.

      Not American in the USA sense of course though

    4. This made me think, which foods are actual American Food? I can’t think of any from the top of my head šŸ¤”

      English people need to stop lying to themselves. I’ll give them the roast dinner, but hoops on toast… that alone disqualifies you.

      French fries are actually not from France, rather they are from Belgium. US soldiers when fighting in WWII thought they were still in France while fighting in Belgium and were served ā€œfriesā€ and gave it the name of ā€œFrench Friesā€ as they brought them back to the US.

      This interview is so frustrating on both sides. American food is a) regional cuisine, particularly from the South (yes bbq, no not hamburgers that’s a terrible example) and New England and b) vibrant mixes of food brought by immigrants, especially in American cities. And btw, the reason it’s that way is that English people came here and obliterated indigenous cultures.

      This is so annoying because he’s wrong and the reporter didn’t correct him. 🤪
