Canadians also like to cover things in melted cheese.

I donāt know why this takes such a hit (although too much is obviously too much). I mean, pizza. Is bread and tomato, covered with melted cheese.

Actually my favorite pizza has no tomato or cheese. Clam pizza at Zuppardiās. Just freshly shucked clams and garlic and spices. I think I will get some this weekend.
A Clam Pizza Worth Waiting For

Okay, stop nitpicking pizza. I know pizza exists that has no cheese and/or no tomato sauce. Iām waiting for someone to chime in with pizza that has no crust.
If you read up to beginning of this conversation, youāll - hopefully! - see the point I was trying to make.

Then you missed the (my?) original point entirely in that Americans love to cover stuff with cheese. Not just pizza.
I didnāt. I was just commenting that 1) there are plenty of foods from other countries that involve cheese on top of something else, and also suggesting that 2) painting āAmericansā (all 330 million of them) with the same broad brush is pretty silly.

Aw. What fun would a discussion about food authenticity be without making sweeping generalizations about entire populations?
Almost like yer new here or sumtin.

Well, there is that.
I find the bashing of American food very tiresome, ESPECIALLY when itās done by Americans who would like everyone to know that they are of course much too sophisticated to eat the way they claim their countrypeople eat. Itās a close cousin to bragging about how you never see American movies, because āforeignā films are superior.

so many people like to define themselves through their highfalutin tastes.

Pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon?
People were bashing American food? If the mere observation of the ever-present melted cheese (sauce) in almost every single food commercial on TV or >gasp< actual restaurant menus is tiresome to you or you find it personally insulting for some reason, then you might want to focus on all the other great eats this country has to offer. I made a lengthier post here.
We both know this wasnāt a āmere observation.ā

Surely, you two will get along wonderfully 
No, I get it, I know itās hyperbole. But itās done SO OFTEN that (I hope) you can see why it seems awfully lazy.

I hope you wonāt tell me now that Germans do not subsist entirely on brats and kraut, cuz that would positively ruin my weekendā¦
I think itās actually beer and pretzels, but Iāve only been to Germany twice, so Iām not an expert.
