Data Graham posted:"Chain restaurants" are the quintessential American cuisine Other countries, especially Europe, still have all of those one-off restaurants with the full spectrum of quality, but not so many chain restaurants. But since people eat repeatedly at a good restaurant and only once at a lovely restaurant, the tendency is to oversample the good stuff and thus overestimate the average quality of food. There is lovely food and great food everywhere. I've had terrible pizza in both Italy and the U.S., and amazing pizza in both as well.

CyberPingu posted:Counterpoint . Nazis don't need to be heard and shouldn't be. They also think the killer's wife and 3 children are enemy combatants and should be "pressed hard." Valuable voices that must be heard. Of course, that's just what Trump said should be done during the campaign. John Adams defended British soldiers in court.

I read "pressing hard" as code for "torture them to set an example for future would-be terrorists". It's loving disgusting.

That's why I put it in quotes. They believe the bullets soaked in pig blood (aka Muslim kryptonite) story. Didn't Trump tell that story at a rally?

Can confirm that Napoli pizza is amazing and good. Can also confirm that pizza in the US is amazing and good (except in Hawaii). Also, while travelling and sitting with a group of internationals over dinner I asked what everyone missed about their home countries cuisine. A French girl said duck but because of her accent it sounded like "dick" and we all had a good laugh. I said wings and bbq and everyone nodded sagely in agreement Boon fucked around with this message at 14:09 on Nov 2, 2017 |

Having lived in Italy for years I'm going to say the best American pizza is better then the best Italian pizza. Italian pizza gets old after a while. The quintessential American culinary experience is taking other place's traditional foods and improving on them by ditching tradition and incorporating ideas from other cuisines.

Proteus Jones posted:How does it feel being so loving wrong all the time? Pizza EVOLVED from the naples food. even if you go to italy the pizza you get is just american pizza taken back to italy. Italian pizza is just bread with some tomatoes and some cheese and some meat on it. The layered food of sauce then cheese then topping is american food.

The most important thing to know about pizza is that the specific type of pizza you happen to like is “real” pizza and everything else can be angrily declared worthless garbage eaten by worthless garbage people.

There is a reason 'new york style pizza" is a thing and "chicago deep dish" is a thing, but like "spanish pizza" or yorkshire pizza isn't. There is lots and lots of food america only has a bad copy version on but it's like claiming you need to go to europe to get real tex mex food.

Inferior Third Season posted:When people talk about lovely American food, they are usually talking about chain restaurant food, and they typically greatly exaggerate how bad it is. Most of it is passable, and right in the middle of the bell curve. But the U.S. also has a ton of one-off restaurants where you can get food that runs the full spectrum from terrible to amazing, but these are considered the exception and not the rule. I just moved to Finland from Australia and generally the one-off restaurants in the city I'm in are many times worse than Australian chain restaurant food.

That's honestly the thing I want to see the evangelicals try to justify if/when it outs. "Jesus and Mary Magdalene would have approved because whores get *much* better treatment nowadays than they did back then and pimps are really just 'Alpha males' when you get right down to it *wow* I love cognitive dissonance.

Owlofcreamcheese posted:I'm not gonna back down on this one. America invented pizza (the modern food called pizza) . America is the place you go to get pizza. It not infrequently happens that something about the earth, about the sky, about other elements of this world, about the motion and rotation or even the magnitude and distances of the stars, about definite eclipses of the sun and moon, about the passage of years and seasons, about the nature of animals, of fruits, of stones, and of other such things like what constitutes good pizza, may be known with the greatest certainty by reasoning or by experience, even by one who is not a terrible poster (like Owlofcreamcheese). It is too disgraceful and ruinous, though, and greatly to be avoided, that he [the Good Poster] should read Owlofcreamcheese posting so idiotically on these matters, and as if in accord with serious posts, that he might say that he could scarcely keep from laughing when he saw how totally in error they are.

I would have thought Bud was for the more timid American tourists, but most of the people drinking it were locals. It's relatively easy to make a hoppy IPA, but far more difficult to make a smooth lager. Budweiser is fine if you want something that tastes relatively good and goes down easy. Miller High Life is better though.
