We do have very good food here, most of which came from somewhere else. People of many nations have come to these shores and brought their cook books with them.

Do fried twinkies count as cuisine?

Haha, I hope you're not saying that the Swedish cuisine is any better. Thankfully you can eat food from all over the world here, too.

Since the USA is a mosaic country composed of refugees from many areas and the first commercial novelty they could offer was their food it is only natural the country developed early on as a place that produced a great variety of dishes derived from many places. When I first arrived in Finland in the early 1960's there were only two Chinese restaurants in Helsinki. Today there are many restaurants offering a great many varieties of ethnic food and I suspect it is the ease of modern transportation that has made
variety of food a generality throughout the developed world.

I do, mainly because we are lacking the cheap fast food. (No, we don't lack fast food, but we lack the cheap fast food.) It's a lot more expencive to eat prepared food than to cook it for youself. My daily lunch cost me about 5-6$/week (and I eat alot). Eating at a fast food resturant will cost you atleast 7$/day.

As you can see, I don't value good food as only things with nice taste.

This wanders quite a bit off topic but it seems to me very strange that kids are educated to do advanced algebra and all sort of stuff they never use and much of the basics of living are pretty much neglected. Raw foodstuffs such as potatoes and other fresh vegetables, rice, and pasta and fresh fruit and flour and eggs and so forth are not all that expensive and a decent meal can be put together in a matter of 15 to 25 minutes with very little skill. I do my own cooking and baking and with a small freezer can make enough for three days in one go at very small cost and eat one portion and freeze the other two and it's much better and tastier than the pre-prepared frozen stuff that is so expensive. There is a basic lack of educating for simple living.

The problem is that people don't know how to cook anymore. They have a fobia for all kind of kitchen equipment.
Hey, on my school they had both theoretic home economics and handicraft (thankfully not whilst I was there, at that point it was still practical). Due to budjet cuts they couldn't afford the basics to the classes, but anyway. Kids don't do it at home, and they don't do it at school, where are they supposed to learn?
