Italians will cook your pasta inside a whole wheel of cheese. Spaniards deep fry pork belly and serve it as a snack. Last time I was in Eastern Europe I thought something was a sweet only to discover it was a lump of straight-up pork fat. Just raw. To munch on.
Americans may be more consistent at eating gross murderfood regularly and in large quantities, but they sure aren't the only ones to have it.
The big difference is in the details.
Italians dont cook your pasta in that wheel. They throw it in there and shove it around. Its no comparison to that center console by any stretch. The countries that munch on raw fat are usually freezing cold and very rough in terms of manual labor conditions. People burn through double the amount of calories or more if they have heavy manual labor and cold climate.
Maybe not the spaniards though. ;)
You've never been to the Po Valley. We fry mortadella here.
Oh god... I can feel it, I can feel the East Germans commenting "that's a Jägerschnitzel" and then the flame war with the Austrians kicks off.
Speaking of schnitzel, I was once in a very much European (but not German or Austrian) snitzel place and got served a schnitzel as the base of what seemed to be a pepperoni pizza topping.
You could also get it rolled up like a kebab with the cheese on the inside to eat on the go. I wish I had pictures, it's simultaneously the worst and best thing I've put in my mouth.
Oh wow!
