How does one nation manage to simultaneously flavormog so many other countries at their own cuisine?
>>
>>21947365
Can you provide examples to support your position?
>>
>>21947369
That's the secret sauce, huh? Why haven't other countries discovered this yet?
>>
>>21947367
it would take too long to write out all specific examples. it's literally everything. anything you can think of is done better in an american style.
>>21947369
all other countries have all of this, even processed cheese product. and if you think american cheese cant be real cheese then you're simply undereducated on the subject.
>>
>>21947385
congrats retard you proved my point about your ignorance.

Lmao keep eating your mass produced slop, pleb.
>>
>>21947383
so you have no examples, got it.
>>
>>21947383
you're a cooklet addicted to artificial flavourings made in a lab , hence why every American "recipe" tells you to add literal garbage to already perfected dishes

>>21947367

Is vegetable rennet common in other countries?

the only difference between the ingredients of cheddar and the ingredients of american cheese is sodium citrate and added milk to make it more meltable. that's it. you are very low IQ and for that i offer my condolences.

i just told you it's literally everything. i know you're esl but this is a very simple concept

lmao imagine not being able to read an ingredient label. it clearly says american cheese is milk, cheese culture, salt and enzymes, i.e. the ingredients of cheese. thanks for proving my point AGAIN you absolute buffoon
>>
>>21947589
The colors are paprika and annato (English cheddar has been using those for centuries). The preservative is sorbic acid which was first extracted from a berry.
>>
>>21947598
>The colors are paprika and annato(English cheddar has been using those for centuries)
Not in England we don't.
>>
>>21947718
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annatto
>England is another country that has used annatto to color its cheeses; colorants have been added to Gloucester cheese as early as the 16th century to allow inferior cheese to masquerade as the best Double Gloucester, with annatto later being used for that purpose. This usage was subsequently adopted in other parts of the UK, for cheeses such as Cheshire and Red Leicester, as well as colored Cheddar made in Scotland.[16][14] Many cheddars are produced in both white and red (orange) varieties, the only difference between the two being the presence of annatto as a coloring.[17]
>>
>>21947373
>Why haven't other countries discovered this yet?
They ban it so their citizens don't die of cancer at the age of 60. Europeans, for some reason, like keeping their elderly alive and will sacrifice their entire continent to keep grandma artificially alive until she reaches 100 years old.
>>
>>21947736
>uses wikipedia

REALLY ??????

You also failed to prove the point your are trying to make.

English Cheddars do not use Annatto. (except rare ones that are specified as coloured).

Please tell me more about my country.

>>21947365

Yes. I really use Wikipedia because it's accurate more often than not. If you take issue with that then feel free to check the sources they cite.
And forgive me for not caring about the distinction between Scotland and England given you share the same island and are part of the same empire.
>Cheeses that use annatto in at least some preparations include:
Cheddar (UK)[18]
Cheshire (UK)[19]
Colby (US)[20]
Gloucester (UK)[21]
Leyden (Netherlands)[22]
Livarot (France)[23]
Mimolette (France)[24]
Mont des Cats (France)[25]
Muenster (US)[26]
Red Leicester (UK)[27]
Saint Paulin (France)[28]

You are still wrong but waffling around that fact but I accept your concession.

And just a pro-tip . . .I wouldn't put too much faith in Wikipedia, it's seriously riddled with errors and falsities.
>>
>>21947774
>I wouldn't put too much faith in Wikipedia, it's seriously riddled with errors and falsities.
Spoken like a true redditor.
Again, you're free to check the sources listed in the article. In any case I put more stock in it than some lical who probably doesn't read food labels.

The core point is annato has been used for centuries in England and is still used today, whether specifically cheddar or other cheeses like red Leicester. Any denial you make of this easily verifiable fact is cope.

>>21947785
You are backsliding and you know it.

>>21947365
Yeah, your uhh thanksgiving *snigger* dinners are uhh *snigger* such an improv- ahahahahaha
>>
>>21947794
The point of that comment was that annatto is not in any way unique to American cheese. It is used in England as well. I'll happily concede on the cheddar thing because who gives a shit? The actionable point stands regardless.
>>21947794

This more accurately describes Asian food than anything else, lol. Asians will eat noodles with ketchup and cut up hotdogs. Or they'll put ketchup and american cheese in their ramen. But they won't get any hate for it because all of millennials/zoomers have some kind of yellow fever programming after watching pokemon on TV.

American sushi BTFOs Jap sushi that it became a culture export to Japan. Meanwhile nobody in America will be eating plain unseasoned fish with nothing on it because we have standards.
>>
>>21947946
>Meanwhile nobody in America will be eating plain unseasoned fish with nothing on it because we have standards.
Not the anons you replied to.
I take issue here, in that apart from a few places on the coast Americans don't have access to fresh fish anyway.
Secondly, I agree that ' Meanwhile nobody in America will be eating plain unseasoned fish' . . .reason being that you seem to cover your food with as much as possible to distract from the blandness, be it ketchup, chilli sauce, ranch, Lawrys, or all of the above.

I won't even mention your FDA 'standards'.
>>
>>21947965
Lol bro.... Look up literally any Asian country's interpretation of Italian food. What you're describing is something that Asians do more than anyone else, but you'll worship them when they do it.

No
I accurately described what Americans do.

Another thing Americans do is take a dish from another nation, rename it and claim they invented it, along with a nice little story explaining how it was 'invented' in the USA!

Salisbury steak is one example, they were called Rissoles in Britain and Frikadelle in Germany (can't be bothered to check other countries) but they existed long before America was founded.

Same applies to umpteen things such as potato chips, hot dogs, fried chicken, peanut butter, etc.
>>
>>21947946
No that's retarded, I love raw sushi better than any American sushi. I want fish, not a bunch of cream cheese and deep fried shit. If I want deep fried shit I'll go eat that at a fair or something. Don't fuck with my fish because you're some landlocked flyover who doesn't eat any seafood besides long John silvers and filet o fish.
Sincerely an east Coast American
>>
>>21948006
I'm really not pretentious about eating sushi at all but nothing beats a simple maki roll for me desu No one goes to an Italian restaurant and expects ketchup tagliatelle or a French restaurant and expects a medium well steak with mayonnaise but when it comes to sushi everyone seems to agree that cucumber cream cheese rolls are perfectly fine, it actually really bothers me.

Because it's an improvement on the dish it's inspired from, whereas ketchup on pasta and mayo on steak are downgrades. Asians aren't very culinary minded. They don't know what works well together because they've only known the same 5 ingredients their whole life. You introduce them to ketchup and they start adding that to every dish for the rest of their lives.

Freshness as a requirement/mark of quality in sushi is an old marketing meme largely meant to comfort westerners who were until very recently squeamish about the concept.

Corn (even then it was almost inedible until Euros developed it).

What else?

I'll wait.

>>21954490
Corn was already pretty much in modern form by the time of European contact.
Apart from that, and tomatos obviously, there's potatoes, chili peppers, avocados, cassava, cranberries, peanuts, syphilis, chocolate, and many more.
You're welcome.
