Never heard of the French, the culture that gave the world the word "cuisine"?
Not that that means anyone "stole" anything from the French, just that your statement was as dumb as it was racist.
Now if you had said a lot of north American cooking is boring and relies way too much on sugar and factories or smothering the food in pre-made sauces to hide its blandness, making other cultures' cooking really stand out here, I'd agree with that.
