The American "Cuisine"

In the article "Eating American" the author reflects on the typical American cuisine and determines that it actually does not exist. Although it isnt exactly that it doesn't exist but rather that it is not its own cuisine. it is actually a conconction of many many cultural foods, which results in a variety of regional cuisines. This variety of foods is then combined with the American way of life, which of course is fast paced living. So the foods have become fast foods, so that Americans can eat and be as efficient as possible with their time management in their busy bee lives. So then this also leads to Americans not really caring about what they eat, or even enjoying it as much as other cultures do. The author therefore concludes that an American cuisine does not exist.

I personally think that the article seriously underestimates the reality of an American cuisine. As they said, Americans eat 'fast foods' because of the culture that we have in this country. But although Americans are more into eating fast foods, and not cooking home cooked meals but rahter eating out, that doesn't mean that an American "cuisine" doesnt exist. The American cuisine is actually everywhere. You can find a McDonalds and a KFC and a Burger King pretty much all over the world, and you cannot find a cultural cuisine that has the same massive expasion as the American "cuisine"....the author of this article fails to realize that the American "cuisine" actually monopolizes the world...so it therefore must exist.
