Is that the usual American response when they see food that isn’t ultra-processed?
Edit: apparently I meant ultra-processed.
This herring has been processed though. It has been cured in salt and put in a brine
Yeah, most food has been processed. That's why we have the term ultra-processed for most American food.
No, it quite literally looks like what cartoon alley cats eat in old cartoons.
It's definitely processed and also it was a funny joke because for Americans eating a fish mostly intact isn't all that common. I don't even like seafood and shockingly that doesn't mean I eat ultra processed food every meal. I know, hard to fathom something different from your own diet.
Most Americans eating fish isn't all that common. Ftfy. Most Americans eat beef, chicken, and pork. On average very very few eat fish regularly
Eww it's not even from a big brand and doesn't have 76 mystery ingredients
I think they referencing the traditional way to eat maatjes, lifting the whole thing by the tail and lowering it into your mouth
I'm constantly amazed by what Americans call food.
I'm continually amazed by the weird ways people have found to be bigoted
Kind of an ignorant take. You can get literally any nationality's food in America. This country is fucked, but at least for now, we still have some really fucking good food here.
You should probably understand what processed means if you want to toss shade.
Back to seriousness, it always amazes me the euros still toss shade about American food. It's some of the best of the planet. Certainly better than anything out of the Netherlands 🤣. As if you people have even earned a right to be in the same room as the rest of Europe much less the international stage.
You have flattened ice cream cones and crepes you have confused for pancakes.
I was with you until you shit on Dutch food. What a bizarre point of view.
Garbage compared to most of Western Europe. DE might be the only saving grace.
I'll still eat the crepes and waffle cones though. I guess the Indian is on par though.
Even to the last you have to demonstrate your ignorance.
The UK has by far the best Indian (of all varieties) in Europe, not NL. I mean, it's ok here, but nothing like in the UK. This is like culinary 101 man.
Do you know what on par means? Average.
No it doesn’t. It means to be on the same level as something else.
Yes, and how to say it in several languages. But thank's for the concern.
Aw, did the American get its feefees hurt?
I eat better than you.
