Default AMERICAN FOOD vs EUROPEAN FOOD

> Americans didn't invent fish and chips or pizza, the British and the
> Italians did. We may have put the hot dog in the bun and turned it


The pizza as we know it was invented in New York city in the 1950's. It's
not an Italian dish. It's 100% American. Now, having said that, pizza-like
dishes have been around for centuries, even the Vikings made something that
was vaguely similar. So did the ancient Greeks. Flat-bread with stuff on
top is pretty much a no-brainer.

But the dish that's called "pizza" in this day and age is completely,
absolutely and definitely American. Invented by an Italian immigrant, but
American.
