Hrm. Okay, I can understand the whole milkshake thing had it predated the invention of ice cream, but it's stuff like this that incites Americans to mock British cuisine. And let's face it, American cuisine isn't the world's finest. Except for deep fried Twinkies, which are better than anything else on Earth.
{Disclaimer: I've never really had a deep fried Twinkie. I've never wanted to have a deep fried Twinkie. The person who invented deep fried Twinkies clearly hated humanity even more than I do--which is, frankly, quite terrifying.}
Depends on what you're referring to as "American" cuisine. There're plenty of foods that are distinctly American in origin that are varied and flavorful and really quite a treat to experience. There's also a lot of weird regional stuff that makes most folks from out of region go 'You eat what?' much in the way that Europe looks at France.
And then there's corporate "American" food: fast food chains, or the TGIFriday's type joint. Which can be hit or miss depending on the chain and your tastes, but is certainly not what I consider quintessential American food.
How cruel of you to undercut my attempt at comedy by applying facts and reason! Bah! I speak with the purity of thought that can only come from sloppy generalizations. :P
Of course, that does beg the question of why I'm spending my efforts on LJ instead of becoming a major political figure....
