There are excellent American-made butters done traditionally. I hate that they're making me defend the US but they have no monopoly on shitty food. It's kinda just another form of exceptionalism.

There's no secret to good butter. Grass fed cows, fermented milk, and high fat content. It's just expensive.

Yeah, when people discuss american food they automatically think of off-the-shelf walmart stuff, mcdonalds, etc. When there are tons of artisanal food producers here, like a lot of them.

"American cheese isn't even cheese". I mean 'american cheese' is very processed. But go to Wisconsin and tell me we don't have good cheese.

There's plenty of good quality stuff in America. We just can't fucking afford it.

In average American food is terrible.

That doesn't mean there isn't great American food, it just means that the stuff that's sold the most is horridly heavily processed, thoroughly artificial and/or intensively farmed/raised crap.

It's not a lack of knowledge or capable people in that domain, it's that the system pushes cheap crap that whilst it own't kill you outright it will shorten your Life Expectation by almost two decades compared to most Europeans.

i will skullfuck you, american food is literally the only thing we do well because our cuisine is so fucking diverse holy shit are you completely and totally wrong. You just generalized an entire country full of diverse palates and tastes.
