No worries, out of curiosity what part of my comment made it obvious I was American. Is it just a reasonable assumption or are we just that easy to spot lol?
Honestly, it's the latter. Sorry. Without trying to be ironic, it's the over generalisations and lack of nuance in their views of other cultures. It's also like you guys are worried anything other than harsh put-downs might go to our heads and we'll start invading the world again or something.
Also, the only people who tend to be that negative towards our food tend to say it in French and be a lot more specific, almost constructive in their feedback (by French standards that is). Even then, I'm yet to meet a French person who isn't partial to a well made fish and chips or a shephard's pie and I've met a fair few. In fact, the French have their own version of shepherd's pie that isn't as good as the British, can you believe? Maybe it's the exception that proves the rule lol.
Most British people tend to make the poor French version and not slow cook the mince down in stock and stout beer until thick or use a proper buttery, cheesey mash to go with it.
