Well my culture loves watching TV and vegging out!

I would say this holds true for the USA considering all this fast "food" they eat. A culture that loves food doesn't do this.

I once saw a post where the guy said he was from Minnesota and he thought ketchup was too spicy.

I wanted to burn the heretic.

Some cultures value food more than others. Pretty obvious there's a spectrum between "we eat for sustenance" and "holy shit taste this recipe I've been honing for decades". This is a shit post, not a shitpost.

i mean. have you encountered soylent culture? white people get marketed to like eating sucks and all your nutrients should come in a tube

IMO, English Canadians don't really have a food that they can call their own. Quebec has poutine, tourtieres, pea soup, and other things. English Canada eats many of those things, but also a lot of generic North American or European things: hamburgers, steaks, North-American style pizza, pasta, stew, etc.

Where I think Canada might be a bit different is that after decades of high levels of immigration, Canada has a lot of foods from other parts of the world. It's common to find South Indian, Pakistani, Punjabi, Turkish, Persian, Carribean, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, Korean, Mexican, etc. restaurants in a city. Many of them cater to immigrants from those countries, so they're authentic tasting.

A lot of that is made at home too. While a home-made stir fry probably wouldn't taste authentically Chinese to someone from China, there are many meals from around the world that have been adapted for Canadian tastes. Very white people in Canada often cook adapted versions of Indian curries, Chinese stir fries, Mexican tacos, Thai curries, etc.

I've moved to England 5 years ago. I can confirm a worrying amount of people don't care for food at all here.

Instead of a nice meal, when they want to enjoy a convivial moment, they burn shredded black leaves in boiling water, add milk to it to cover the terrible taste, and call that tea. And if you don't ruin it in the exact specific way that they designed, they get angry (but they don't understand why e.g. Italian and French people are so particular about their traditional recipes).
