Are you kidding me? Hasselhoff single handedly shouted The Wall to pieces after all others failed!

The only thing that comes into my mind is fast food and I'm not that much into it. Still a tad better than british cuisine which in my opinion is a crime against humanity (sorry brits, I stil like your country but will make sure to stick to foreign restaurants whenever I'm on visit).
On a further note: german cuisine isn't that great either but at least we make up for it with our baking skills ;)

I think Canadian food is a sort of best of both worlds situation.

How interesting. I'd definitely be curious as to other British English input on this question, because as far as I go, the vowel sound difference between the two is exactly the same; it is the s that is pronounced differently:

lose = looz
loose = loos

That's how learned it too, and also heard it from native speakers. Though it's true that the oo is actually pronounced longer in "lose" compared to "loose". Merriam Webster shows the same ü for both vocals though.

The title of this thread makes me wonder what defines a 'foreign GOGer'? A non-Polish GOGer, probably?

That's a good point. "America" (I guess "USA") is a big country size of Europe, so do Europeans ask other people "what do you think of European cuisine?", not specifying whether they are talking about French, Italian, Spanish, Swedish (surströmming) or Finnish cuisine (black blood sausage + mämmi)? I presume there are similar differences between different regions of US, e.g. where TinyE is from, they eat black blood sausage and mämmi every morning. And evening. And sometimes for the dinner and lunch too.

I have once participated into a Thanksgiving dinner in Finland (a family whose father was from US and the kids identified themselves both to Finland and US) and... I guess the filled turkey was ok, and I think there was corn bread which I very much liked. Is corn bread considered US food?

Also I like Kentucky Fried Chicken (the one time I have tried it), does that count too? Oh and that one imported Twinkie I got to eat in the 80s, that was quite delicious IIRC, but I was a small kid back then and could eat anything.

BTW I don't actually like drinking Coca Cola. The taste it ok... but it just tends to make me more thirsty and my mouth dry. If I'm going to get soda with my food (and not water, like usually), I prefer orange soda, like the Finnish Jaffa soda as it has a bit more "nippy" taste than orange Fanta and such.
Someone who is from a different country that the person asking. I am a foreigner to you, and you are a furriner to me.

The point of this thread, I think, is to ask questions about some specific country, and/or asking people who are not from your country, what they think about something related to your country. Or, how do different things work in different countries.

I remember near the start of the Knights of the Old Republic, you're on this apartment complex on some random planet, and you encounter some locals fighting among themselves, and your character (or one of the companions?) referred to them as "aliens", and I started laughing, thinking "You're the alien here, this is their home".

U.S.A is considered melting pot for a reason central to mountains we have a lot of Spanish foods even down south, the Californian and Chicago has china town while smaller cities also have Chinese foods, then we have Korean places

i think in term of american food would be actually the burger and not including fast food joints. but there are small places that make there own original food usually it's either ma or pa restraint or a small chain

as for drinks https://www.coca-colafreestyle.com/ a machine that has 100 built in drinks choices as well you can make your own mix and match flavors but i prefer pepsi.

also america is big from San Franciso California to New York it's about 2,573 milies / 4140.842 Kilometer it's not as big as Russia or Africa but Europe can fit into America
actually there is a wikipedia list :P https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_American_foods

also somethings that good is green river which was made during the Prohibition when alcoholic beverages was banned, it's a none alcoholic drink but it does have a slight kick to it.

Yeah, that list is so vast and varied that it kind of proves my point about the pointlessness of judging a whole big country's "cuisine", and there's also lot of stuff on it that's not originally or exclusively American, but it's still a good start, thanks! I guess Mac and Cheese could be seen as (stereo)typical American food as well, along with hamburgers and hotdogs?

That's not even possible in Germany. There's so many different kinds of regional food, and often even the same terms mean something completely different in different regions (i.e. "Pfannkuchen").

Speaking of which, the Chicago style pizza is awesome.

Pff, as if hotdogs and hamburgers are actually American. Just another example for "taken from somewhere else and passed off as your own".

We have a long proud history of ripping off other cultures and claiming it as our own. We even do it to ourselves; look at rock & roll. :D
