American food

As an American, I’m constantly surrounded by Americanized versions of foreign cuisines. We’re a country of immigrants, so the mingling of natives with immigrants creates brand new fusion cuisines. Tex-Mex food isn’t exactly Mexican food…but it isn’t exactly standard American food either. The same goes with Italian-American food, Chinese-American food, etc.

So here’s what I’ve always wondered. Do other countries, particularly ones with lots of American immigrants, have their own unique versions of American food? The USA has Italian-American food, but does Italy have American-Italian food? The USA has Tex-Mex food, but does Mexico have Mex-Tex food? 🤔

I haven’t traveled internationally a lot, so I’m genuinely curious to know from someone who has.

When I was in Japan, MOS Burger had some very funky Japanese-ified burgers. Like burgers with prawn or fish sauce or some such. Jolly Pasta had some funky pizzas and pastas that were similar. With fish bits and not right cheese and sauce. Adaptations to American adaptations to Italian food.

The Australian burger "with the lot" is a glorious version of the burger with beetroot, pineapple, bacon, and egg on a burger. A real contribution to the art of burger. Not sure if it's a play off the American burger, or off a UK version of the American burger.

@CopperCicada The radiation must have cooked their burgers funny.

@CopperCicada Burgers with fish sauce actually sounds quite good.
@RopinTexan Yeah. I liked both MOS Burger and Jolly Pasta.
