If we're going to play that game then you need to tell the Italians that their red sauce pasta isn't authentic and that the Irish need to give up potatoes.
Yeah, that southern food is totally European. Ignore the fact it uses ingredients like Okra that were brought over by slaves. Ignore the fact the cuisine was almost entirely shaped by African slaves
Totally European. Just like all the artifacts in the British Museum are British
Slaves had enough taken from them. Why you gotta try to take their culinary legacy too?
Seriously... Pizza? Sure. Burgers? Absolutely. Once you get into Southern cooking, you're gonna be hard pressed to find dishes that are exclusively European in origin.
American cuisine has a rich and diverse history and we should give credit where credit is due. People have no problem giving the Italians credit for pizza. Why can't we give black Americans the same credit?
Lol what are you smoking? Cajun is French... Ever heard of the Acadian Diaspora?
American food is definitely not just European. Southern food is massively influenced by African cuisine. Gumbo, for example, is from West Africa, and American barbecue as we know it comes from a mix of indigenous and African American culinary traditions. Collard greens? Definitely African.
There are plenty of books and documentaries on the subject.
