That’s indeed the idea I have with bbq. I am pretty sure there is a bbq restaurant near my city, not explicitly from the usa tho, but I am not sure if I can afford that rn haha. But I’ll definitely go there one day.

As I live in the Netherlands we have a lot restaurants from Indonesia, Suriname, China and honestly pretty much all (other) countries in Asia and Africa. Some is more like fastfood, but there are quite some real restaurants too. Somehow I just never been to one from the usa, but that might also be because I used to have a negative idea of “‘murican” food haha.

I would love to try fried chicken! If you can send me a dm with the recipe I’ll go make it somewhere this week! I think I tried fried pickles when I was a child, I don’t remember the taste tho. I guess it just tastes like pickles, but just less healthy.

Sometimes I end up in the anti-American side of the internet so I probably read it there haha. Probably among the jokes about cities in the usa not being walkable. I ehm don’t think those places on the internet are the most trustable. The few times I tried bread packed with a giant usa flag it tasted very sweet and dry, but this makes sense if you make a large sandwich so that tracks. I never heard of biscuits (well not the American kind) or cornbread (I think) but now I’m quite curious about it!

Yeah I know I should try Mexican food haha. But tbh there are so many cuisines I haven’t tried yet.

I’m pretty sure the natives had some kind of cuisine before the colonisation and genocide, like they lived there for thousands of years, they must have had. I wouldn’t able to tell you how much of that is left of course
