    Hamburgers, meatloaf, gumbo, and all sorts of southern food is American.

    *Edit. Some of you think hamburgers weren’t an American creation. Y’all are incorrect. The humburg meat was never put between bread. The sandwich hamburger is a US creation.

      Dude, Hamburgers are literally named after the non-US city they originally came from…
      But I have to admit that the refinement to its delicious present day form is an American achievement!

          My point is that US people tend to claim ownership to a lot of things that were not invented there. I’m all for sharing culture and food and transforming them to something new, but don’t claim they are your invention.

          Like as american as apple pie is an expression for a dish from Germany and the Netherlands.

          • Nah, I as an naturalized American citizen I do not want stuff I create to be called “Chinese”, its xenophobic. I mean, you can say “Chinese-American” to refer to me but not “Chinese”. Cuz why is a white US Citizen creating stuff labeled as “American” while stuff I make is not “American”? Double standards.

            If I come up with a new food receipe, its American food. If I make a painting, that’s made by an American artist. If I publish a book, that’s written by an American writer. Don’t fucking try to “other” me.
