Yes, the US is large (and not just the people!) and culturally diverse. So are a great many other places.

There is no one "cuisine of the US"... heck we have as much, or more regionalisms as any place. There's the far from boring and bland Tex-Mex. There's the "I never met an ingredient that couldn't be fried" deep south, there's... stuff. :::hovers clicky finger over box to block Orwar::: I don’t think he tasted American barbecue either.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My father had a summer when he couldn't put enough of Sweet Baby Ray's Hickory & Brown Sugar Sauce on everything. It's not bad, but .. By day 14 you kind of start missing a good old mustard-pickled herring, you know. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to return because I have a real life, honest to god food peeve happening AS WE SPEAK. Realizing you bought a 10-pack of hot dogs. And an effing 8-pack of buns. Efffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. AND and and, why are hotdog buns in New England all split vertically through the top instead of sideways through the middle AS GOD INTENDED? And YES! This is my classy brunch! Don't judge. You're just now noticing that packs of hot dogs and packages of hot dog buns don't match? It's been that way since forever, and why it is so is one of the great Unanswered Questions. You have to buy eight packs of 5 dogs and five packages of eight buns to come out even, and then you have to invite the whole Little League team over for a cookout. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think the war of chili was bad, and mama's biscuits... try defining American bbq! Kansas City? North Carolina? Texas? FWIW, I haz travelled these great United States (lower 48) and probably have had ALL the bbqs, and frankly have never met one I didn't like. Sooooooo... it looks like the Great Forum Food Peeve Kerfuffle of 2020™ continues! /me grabs catcher's mitt to nab any particularly good eats that fly by (and that won't be any fish balls in their own juices, tyvm) 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow that looks like a whole heap of peeves right there. I notice that the far right might have a weird New England bun. I'm a purist: beef hotdog that fits the good bun and a minimum of toppings, like just ketchup/catsup and mustard. Unless I was getting really high in Cincinnati and then it was as a chili (Cincinnati faux chili) cheese coney. The mountain of grated cheese is a requisite, not sure why. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, That's an oldie, for sure BUT some bun & hotdog purchases do align. Some manufacturers did listen. I, unfortunately forgot and ordered based on type and brand and didn't consider numbers as well. Life is sooooooo complicated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
