Oh, it's not that.
I just was not expecting any one to weigh in with that. Primarily because this board barely has that problem.

careful, some might blame you saying things just to provoke a reaction!
In all useless seriousness though, obviously America is a "new country" and stating things are not as old here as they are in other continents is pretty obvious... Isn't it? Not talking to you in general Azal, at all, just postin'
I mean: I lived all my life in "old" ancient places, and it's lovely, but living in a 100 years old house in America doesn't take from it's beauty and "coolness oldness".......

You can NOT get real Italian food in America- that's a fact.
same as you can't get REAL Chinese food/ or REAL Mexican....
I laugh at people who think a 'burrito' is a true-mexican food...
ITS NOT.
It's American-Mexican, just like Chinese food in this country is AMERICAN-Chinese and same with Italian....
The food in Italy is really different. One can go to a restaurant in Milan and ask for chicken-alfredo pasta and get something completely different than what he knows from his local Italian joint in Nebraska....
There are so many Italian people in the US who established thir own "cooking" that expecting it to taste like the original dish is absurd.
Even when I go to "REAL DEAL" Israeli restaurants in NYC: they are not the same.... the food tastes different... everything is different.
Chinese food in America is greasy and nasty- in China it's healthy and lean...
so see: nothing here is the "same"
but that's not a bad thing!
culture is something that evolves and adpts to different location... it's quit normal for Italian food in this country to become what it is today, and same with what we call "mexican" .... I think it's great. I just hate it when people are not aware of that, and they think General Tsao is a real dish one can find in Hong Kong, for example...

That's kinda what I was saying in a nutshell. It's not necessarily a bad thing that it's not authentic...it's good that way too!

Burritos aren't mexican food because they were invented in California.
But saying you can't get "real" mexican food in the US? I must be living in Mexico! Don't tell the Mexicans!

You can get anything anywhere really.
I can make authentic Italian food. Food does vernacularise, but you can get authentic food outside of the native country.

Also, America would have a lot more ANCIENT RUINS if they hadn't all been destroyed by the savage Europeans.
Blame yourselves!

I made tortillas today with a tortilla press that was heche en Mexico and masa harina from a bag that was covered in predominantly Spanish.

They already did, really. Texas and California. I'm surrounded by beaners with terrible driving skills and no Ingles.

Davy Crockett will have to be resurrected. And then Ozzy will have to piss on the Alamo and be banned from it again.
