Why do Americans have all the good stuff?

Because Europe doesn't know what the hell it's doing, with the notable exception of Germanic countries. Incidentally, that's why American food is good, we've had a lot of German immigrants.

Americans stop giving a shit and started making the first things that come to mind. Turns out it makes good food.

Literally the most popular cuisine in the world.

>>8764335
Because America doesn't give a fuck what people cooked in the past, they care about what tastes good right fucking now.

>>8764836
I don't care, it's still mediocre-tier at best. I've been to Italy too and the whole place is dirty.

>>8764888
>the whole place is dirty.
Blame the mob.

>>8764335
A huge glut of food generated by the virtues of a huge geography and industrial capitalism was suddenly made available to various historically starving peoples who couldn't necessarily get the ingredients they needed to make the old recipes anymore anyways. I think that's the story behind American Italian cuisine and it sounds like it'd generally hold

>Why do Americans have all the good stuff?

American capitalism.

Euro-trash nations tax the ever loving shit out of everything in order to maintain their nanny states, so it's harder to start a food business, and people are less inclined to do so. Outside of the socialist liberal urban shitholes in the U.S., it's easier to start your own small business, which means that people are willing, and able, to make and sell their favorite regional cuisines.

Now it's getting harder, though, as the Juden established a firm grip here in the states after WW II, which lead to large scale corporate monopolies that buy out smaller competitors, and make it more difficult to succeed with a small business.

Yeah and good old American capitalism brought us microwave meals, fast food, HFCS/corn products in everything, processed everything.

While this thread makes valid points lets not forget about all of the luxury crops we produce on the west coast of the USA
The San Joaquin Valley produces so much inexpensive luxury items. California alone has the climates to grow nearly anything on earth
This gives us the ability to get a wide variety of cash crops very cheap.
I can literally buy a back of avocados a big as a sack of potatoes for $10 bucks

What? "Urban shitholes" oftentimes have a huge variety of cuisines represented at various price points. Here in Southern California you can get pretty much any kind of food imaginable on the cheap and have enough selection to ensure that you can find a great place with good service. I realize you're speaking in general though and that does seem to be the case for most kinds of business.

>large scale corporate monopolies that buy out smaller competitors, and make it more difficult to succeed with a small business
This isn't as true as it once was. Mid-priced dine in chains are becoming less popular every year while their prices keep going up. Fast casual and smaller businesses are doing somewhat better in comparison.

>>8766232
That's true, but the good outweighs the bad, IMO.

>>8766217
What arrogance? The board is shit. Denying that is just baiting.

>>8766260
>oftentimes have a huge variety of cuisines represented at various price points.

Those urban shitholes don't give a fuck about the economy, and when people stop going out to eat as often, instead of lowering the tax rate to help the food service joints, they'll raise them to make up for the losses, and put them right out of business.

>>8766282
Not really, if anything I think capitalism or corporatism is at fault for most of the food related problems the USA gets shit for. The biggest one being the reliance on the big supermarket. Not to say that this is exclusive to the USA, but it's a lot more normal for a person outside to have a butchers, fruit and vegetable grocer, a bakery, in which they can get their respective ingredients/products from knowledgeable people who have dedicated their lives to their goods. The supermarket is like an afterthought for all the things you can't get from those.

>>8766358
It's probably old bay, bro.

>>8766310
People are still buying food from restaurants. What's changed is that now consumers are shifting towards fast casual and smaller businesses. The big noticeable decline is happening at the mid tier dine in level like I said. This is your Ruby Tuesdays and places like that. I don't see a significant change in net tax revenue from this and that's really going away from the point of this thread.

>>8764335
For me it's the döner kebab.

Northern europe has horribly bland food, it's depressing.

>superiority through diversity

/pol will never admit it, but this is true

>>8767057
/pol/ here, and I agree. American exceptionalism has always involved white people from diverse white backgrounds. Whether those white people were German, English, or Scottish, they contributed great things to this great white nation.

The culinary arts in Europe are directed to aristocratic clientelle, as opposed to the US, where culinary expertise is focused more on the middle class, which is accessible to a lot more people.

>>8767076
This is the only diversity that works, but shitskins can't tell the difference between English, German, French, Italian, or whatever, and just lump us all together as "whites", and then bitch about it when we do the same to their shitskin asses.

>>8766200

This. A lobster roll might not be the best way to show off lobster, but it's a great way to show off that you HAVE lobster. Same thing a hamburger is for beef. It's not that a burger is such a wonderful thing. The wonderful thing is that you have such cheap beef that grinding it up grilling/frying it and putting it in a sandwich seems like a good idea - that's the wonderful thing.
