Not all British food is bad, but sometimes it feels like a lot of British cooking is just digging their heels in and refusing to accept that a lot of it is blander than it has to be.

I once told a Brit, jokingly, "you can't just boil everything and call it a day" and they got extremely offended.

American food is way more varied. The country is much larger, and has a variety of cultural influences. Is there some boring, unimpressive food? Yes. But there's so much variety that for any lackluster meal option, there's plenty of better ones to make up for it.

We are a nation of immigrants, true.
But native Americans were making popcorn and peanut butter long before the euros arrived.
They were also growing potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, and more, which Europe has adopted as staple ingredients.
In modern times, we've invented lots of foods: eggs benedict, egg foo young, fortune cookies, chocolate chip cookies, new england clam chowder, manhatten clam chowder, lobster rolls, hot dogs, spam, too many more to count.
We're the world capitol of BBQ, and have at least a half dozen regional sauces.

It's all the countries that Britain colonized. That "little, isolated island" had the largest empire in human history just over a century ago. Usually when a culture travels the oceans or lies on a trade route they trade and intermingle with other cultures, and that's where virtually every food you like came from. Somehow the bongs managed to take over a quarter of the planet, but when it came to food they were like, "nah, we're good with our mushy peas and faggots" or whatever. They're just incredibly boorish and obstinate. If you've ever seen a bong abroad the first thing they typically do is locate a bong expat bar where they can get a proper ale and talk with other bongs while watching soccer.

This is factual.
True American cuisine has it's roots deep in English,French and German foods--Then a while later, Spanish and Mexican foods. I think it can be safely said that this "National" claim to foods for the last 50 years is a farce. It's ALL become a mishmash of sloppa and toxic goyslop, especially in the last 30 years, and the main 6 food companies turning out this toxic, (But Engineered to be delicious and addictive,) crap have homogenized consumer foods across the board.
If you get away from that, and eat locally prepared, traditional foods, made from raw materials grown in the area by conscientious farmers and ranchers, you'll find that every region has both good,(to your taste,) and bad,(NOT to your taste,) dishes.
Any serious chef will tell you the same. While I personally wouldn't make something like Haggis or Menudo my first choice; prepared well, either of these can taste great.
Another thing English food has over us,(Amerilardland,) is the fact they are not nearly as mogged by AG subsidies and some of the "Food Additives" that we are.
The other main contributor of GARBAGE foods is the ridiculous amount of "Ad recipes" that the big food companies ran throughout the 60s all the way up to the early 90s.
That, however was fairly universal throughout the "developed" world.

That's just my interpretation of their weird, sticking argument. Most everywhere in the world was colonized by someone at some point. Except, I guess, wherever humanity first came up.

Though, there is at least some historical precedent for already existing countries being invaded by colonizers, so some distinction exists. It's just a weird think to want to argue about. Sometimes I'm ashamed at my fellow Americans for how much they puff out their chests.

Funny up until this post I thought you were talking about the US having colonial past as something we were victims of, not something we perpetrated on others. Fuck this nonsense that people should feel guilty for moving somewhere lol, by the same logic every indian and mexican that moves to the first world is a colonizer, or at least every african and arab that moves to europe if you are going to try and get technical on me.

every time i watch british reality TV, it just seems like the whole country is dark and gloomy and soulless. i think that is reflected in their food. if you look up "british food", then the only thing you will be shown is a full english breakfast because that is probably the only dish there that looks appetizing. otherwise, you will be met with mushy peas and beans with gravy dumped onto it. horrific.

It's a very straightforward, off-handed comment about how "the US" (not America) has never been colonized, but that's irrelevant to the map posted because that only shows the colonies when the British empire was at it's largest, which was long after the American revolution.
