Always makes me laugh when the country that sells "cheese" in spray cans or as plastic slices calls other countries' food bad.

Barely anyone outside of Philly eats spray cheese regularly

Do you think everyone in the UK eats spotted dick/spotted dog regularly?

I thought this was an interesting topic of one of the episodes of chef's table (netflix docuseries). The chef focused on what real "american" cuisine looks like, and since cuisine typically comes out of hardship, American food doesn't have as distinct of an identity since the USA has typically been a country of "plenty." Was really a fascinating point, and it made me look at food culture in a very different way

I think it's more that the US is a very recent country and was a melding of many cultures, plus the sheer size of the country and diversity of the ingredients found around the country.
