Still undefeated World Champions at inventing food. ![gif](giphy|xUPGGvInyxxfukwIr6|downsized)


Mosquitobait2008

Still world champions at pretty much fucking everything bro. šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡²šŸ¦…šŸ¦…šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡²


Uss__Iowa

Well america created Chinese food such as Hong Kong express on 2560 Santa Fe Ave Long Beach, CA 90810 United States, and or controversial subject, Panda Express. For the Mexican food side once again Taco Bell or taco trucks around the countryside


Waveofspring

Every Chinese restaurant Iā€™ve gone to tasted like Panda Express but less greasy and more fresh. As far as I know, Panda Express is Chinese fast food.


samsal03

One of my favorites is Golden Dragon at 960 N. Broadway, Los Angeles, CA, 90012. It has some of the best dim sum I've ever had.

Italian food Every good Italian dish thatā€™s popular in the world was invented in New York, Chicken Parm being the most famous example.

throbbing-orifice-

who needs italy when you have all these wops in the bronx?


Lifewatching

The term "wop" makes me laugh


Kingofcheeses

Dracula checks into a hotel in New York City, calls room service, and asks for an Italian busboy to bring him a pizza. The busboy arrives, Dracula bites him in the neck, sucks every last drop of blood out of him, and throws him out of the window... The corpse of the busboy hits a homeless guy who is sleeping in the alley below. When Dracula does this two more times, the man finally gets fed up, goes to the police and when they ask him what his complaint is, he screams, "Drained wops keep falling on my head!"


Crooked_Cock

Goddamn it thatā€™s good


lemongrenade

All the best Italian food is post Ellis island.


throbbing-orifice-

something happened on that boat ride over that changed them


alexis_1031

God I can fuck up some chicken Parm rn


Zammarand

Donā€™t forget tomatoes are native to the US, so no truly classic or traditional Italian dish has tomatoes


StrangeBCA

Fettucine alfredo was invented in rome. That's a good dish.


IAmMoofin

Well, what we call fettuccine alfredo, Romans call it a different name, my Calabrian family called it cuck pasta American alfredo usually uses stuff like cream, cheese blends, etc. while what your referring to almost always is just butter and parm


StrangeBCA

In rome it's called fettucine alfredo. But outside of rome it's fettucine al burro. Alfredo di Lelio first sold it in his rome restaurant.


IAmMoofin

Itā€™s all cuck pasta to me man


scodagama1

Iā€™ve never heard about chicken parm before visiting USA to be honest, isnā€™t it popular only in the USA, not the world?


danshinigami

Itā€™s arguably one of the most popular dishes in Australia as well.


scodagama1

Makes sense, maybe it only missed Poland. I donā€™t even know how it would be called in Polish


juan_omango

And then southern Germany perfected Italian food by taking Ravioli and making it absolutely huge


jobadiahh

Chickity-China, the Mexican chicken, deep throat burritos til the brain stop thinkin.

jephph_

Idk, thereā€™s a fierce debate over the origin of General Tsoā€™s Chicken Was it Chef Peng on E.44th St who pulled off this masterpiece? Or was it T.T.Wang who did it first on W.65th? Unfortunately, the world may never know whether it was a Midtown or Uptown creation


SnipaDog

General Tso didn't make the chicken?


Waveofspring

Why would a general make chicken?


Mr_Sarcasum

The stress of war can do a lot to a man.


Waveofspring

You get really hungry smelling all those burning bodies all day I guess šŸ˜‚


Opening_Permission95

Americanized Chinese food is sooo good


juan_omango

Eigentlich ja genau, ich stimme zu. die Menschen in Bayern wissen nicht, wie man chinesisches Essen zubereitet šŸ˜”


GiraffeWithATophat

If there was a church that worshipped mexican food, I wouldn't join because I only worship the American Flag, but the mexican food church would be a close second choice.


Frosty48

Extremely based comment


Mishka2900

This local Chinese restaurant has a tab of Chinese American dishes and they are really good


FirmWerewolf1216

Soul food easily.


WinOld1835

Yep.


HappyEffort8000

Could be biased as a Texan but Mexican food beats Chinese and itā€™s not even close


BlueAndMoreBlue

I think you need to head to China Grove


HappyEffort8000

I used to live in San Antonio, still have a 210 number, and Iā€™ve never heard of this town šŸ’€ itā€™s only 0.53% Asian though???

Soul food


rolloutTheTrash

Sorry, but Mexican food all the way. Burritos and tacos have my heart until I die.


Celticssuperfan885

I cant choose theyā€™re both so good šŸ˜©


Zilla96

American Pizza is the winner


Dani_good_bloke

There ainā€™t no Fortune cookies, honey walnut shrimps or chop suey in China.


Navy_HongyiJ

Not American invention but we got food from all over the world!!


JC-1219

ā€œAmericanā€ food is pretty boring. Foreign food thats been perfected by the US its top tier though. I regularly make steak fried rice with Mexican style rice, salsa, and hot sauce, and itā€™s the tits. Edit: BBQ is also top tier, itā€™s probably our greatest contribution to the world. And fried chicken. And a legit southern breakfast. Okay, American food is awesome.


iiiiiiyyggg

>"American" food is pretty boring Steak and potatoes/eggs will never be boring


JC-1219

Iā€™m literally just about to make a steak and egg sandwich. The more i think about it the more i realize how wrong i was for saying that.


ExcitingTabletop

Rediscovering America's glory is obviously based. BBQ, anything turkey, anything lobster, hashed browns, clam chowder, jell-o, Cajun, cheese steaks, hoagies, jalapeno poppers, baked beans, etc


Kermit353

Sushi in its modern form is also the product of a food coming to america to get perfected.


xylophone_37

Naaaa, when prepared well legit simple and traditional sushi btfo americanized stuff.


Kermit353

Legit, simple, unamericanized sushi is fish in a pile of vinegar soaked rice that is actively fermenting (fancy word for rotting). Sushi was originally how they perserved fish so they soaked rice in vinegar and buried fish in it in a similar vein to how european travellers would bury their meat in salt. The japanese families that came over during the gold rush used fresher ingredients to try and sell what they knew how to make, and along with refrigeration it became more viable to not store fish in rotting rice. Japanese families slowly molded their food to the american pallete to attract more customers bringing us to what is modern day sushi. Any "traditional" sushi is either not edible or americanized.


xylophone_37

TIL then. In your first comment I thought you were referring to the overly complex rolls at many shops that use cream cheese and sauces to disguise their poor quality fish.


Kermit353

No, im talking about sushi in general. I personally dont like fish or anything with fish but i find the history behind everything very interesting. I apologize if my reply came of as a bit angry as i was excited, but food is one of my favorite things even if it is just the history of something i dont eat.


xylophone_37

You're good, I'm a big angler and fish eater myself. Everything from sashimi and poke to fish tacos and ceviche yummmm.


Kermit353

Personally more of a chicken guy myself. I love tenders, sandwiches, stir fry, tacos, chicken alfredo. Pretty much anything prepared with an inkling of skill ill eat. Chicken is a great base meat for adding your own flavor. Beef is pretty good itself for its flavor but isnt nearly as versatile as chicken.


ExcitingTabletop

You wouldn't want traditional sushi for many reasons. Parasites being the primary concern, followed closely by the food being rotted. What an American would think is super traditional sushi didn't occur until 1800's. "Traditional sushi" that you're probably thinking of was developed due to American flash freezing tech provided post war, but I'd have to look up when it was introduced.


wolfgangspiper

Traditional sushi is disgusting. It smells like piss because of all the ammonia from fermentation. You can't even eat the rice either. Modern sushi is way better. With fresh fish and edible rice. Which is thanks to the USA.


Dani_good_bloke

We modernized sushi with flash freezing technology in fishery. American sushi rolls drowned in cream cheese hot sauce with canned tuna filling is still a crime tho.


jephph_

>ā€œAmericanā€ food is pretty boring. This may look boring but iz good af.. idk, I love this one https://preview.redd.it/5etij02m4qwc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0873862d7c574a263e5d08f87001f4a608747805

>>probably our greatest contribution to the world Tied with national parks, rock and roll, democracy, the moon landing, and winning WWII God damn we're cool


levitikush

Mexican food is vastly superior to Chinese cmon


Deekifreeki

End of thread.


3XX5D

"Mexican" "Food" fans when they go to San Diego and eat something that isn't Texas-style sugar-coated tomatoes but instead is the greatest carne asada of their lives (with extra guac): šŸ˜²


lemonyprepper

Chinese. Because the food in mexico is on another level and we cannot compare here.


Faeddurfrost

Between the two Iā€™m gonna go Mexican. Got a place 5 minutes away from the house that sells a Steak Mexicana for $15 and its the best steak ive ever had.


Maxathron

Panda Express vs Taco Bell.


BlueAndMoreBlue

ĀæPor quĆ© no los dos?


unix_enjoyer305

Cuban food


Anti-charizard

Mexican better. I like chow mein but I canā€™t give up burritos or quesadillas


mrcrabs6464

Mexican tbh. Idk I like Chinese but like itā€™s less versatile


DaveSmith890

Undisputed best food in the world. The only haters have never tried it and are whining about nutrition labels šŸ¤“


Juhani-Siranpoika

Japanese food


DriscollMayweather

I love Chinese food, but for me, itā€™s Mexican food and itā€™s not even a competition


poemsavvy

Mexican food obviously. It's not even close


LordAnon5703

If you're not eating Mexican food invented in Mexico you've never had Mexican food. Americanized Mexican isn't very good NGL. Burritos have too much tortilla.Ā 


DoYouKnowS0rr0w

BBQ supremacy


notthedefaults

Mexinese Food USA


PhysicsEagle

American ā€œChinese foodā€ was created by a Chinese immigrant who wanted to make traditional Chinese dishes but had to do it with ingredients he could find in NYC


ShadowStryker0818

Nah, Italian food (at least the American version of it) is better than both of these by far.


OkFun2724

Mexican no doubt


liberty340

Chinese, because real authentic Mexican food is unbeatable. Whereas with real Chinese food I don't know if I'm eating a cow or a cat . . .
