    What’s the difference between the US and a cup of yoghurt?

    Yoghurt will have developed a culture after being left alone for 250 years. /j

    Edit: Sorry, should have said "what’s the difference between white Americans.

      We have so many unique individual cultures it’s absolutely ridiculous. E fuckin G, south central LA black culture, WASP rich ass folk, southern bumpkin, Texan, midwestern, New York. Those are a handful of examples, but each is so thoroughly unique, with different accents and culinary offerings, and dress styles ALL OF WHICH in some way influence cultures across the globe. Each state honestly has its own cultural offerings, but as a whole, to say that the U.S. doesn’t have culture is moronic.

        Fair enough that the USA has culture but that’s a bit far, considering the size of the place.

      You have your yoghurt. I’ll take the bbq, whiskey, and our massive dining industry that produces the best food on the planet.

        Lol. You can keep your bland Whisky (I’ll take Irish, thanks) and your industrially processed junk food, filled to the brim with corn sirup.

          I’m not even American but lol at calling triple distilled Irish whiskey less bland than bourbon.

          Irish whiskey is like the lager of whiskeys, about as bland as it gets

              It depends on where the bourbon gets made. Very generally, the temperatures cycles vary a lot more more than in Great Britain. So the bourbon “ages” faster than Scotch or Irish whiskys. So bourbons have to be younger and that can make them somewhat sharper in flavor. Plus the requirement of using new oak barrels also cuts the time spent in the barrel.

                “Sharper” is one way to say “aged so little still smells of paint thinner” I guess. Find a bottle of say Alberta Premium or a good Canadian Rye whisky (or even Crown Royal, though that’s a lame barley whisky) and give a good sniff. There’s a huge difference to the bourbons unless you get spending

          Irish whiskey? Triple pot stilled to strip out all the flavors? Dang near vodka for depth of flavor. (I jest - I do enjoy a good Irish whiskey myself).

          Now bourbon is the drink of the gods. Rich deep complex flavors that fill your taste buds with joy. It’s so good the Scots and even the Irish use our used bourbon barrels to impart those complex flavors and taste to their whiskys.

          🙄👌🤣

          I bet your one of those people who shit on Louisiana while forgetting Hungary is a thing 🤣.

          It’s always so obvious when someone who hasn’t stepped foot in the country and gets their entire life view based on Reddit lemmy comments.

          Edit: oh we’re on .ML of fucking course, this makes more sense. This is pointless you had your mind made up joining the instance.

            Check my instance again, smartass.

            Ididn’t get the suffocating prevalence of corn sirup in the US from reddit/lemmy, but rather from health resources and people from the US.

            For real: all that cultural bashing is pointless to begin with. But claimingthat the US has “the best food” when Italy, the middle and far east exist: come on!

            Edit: oh no! The 'muricans found my comments. Better prepare for a state funded coup, enforcing neoliberalism through fascists in my country.
