Why does every, or almost every, country have a quizeen but not Canada or the U.S?

Name pretty much says it all, but yeah, why? Does anyone have any theories?
Canada is a vast nation, full of maple serup and farming.

United States: hamburgers, barbecue, Southern soul food, Cajun and Creole dishes, apple pie.
Canada: poutine, tourtière, butter tarts, Nanaimo bars, Québécois cuisine.
Vox tech, trust us.

I don't think that's really considered quizeen though. We are known for those things but I do not think it is considered *quizeen*. Could be wrong though.

Well, the US is more of a melting pot. You're more likely to enjoy Mexican, Indian, Korean, Polish and God knows whatever else, whilst eating typically American food, which I assume does still exist.

Before this discussion continues, I want to know what you think cuisine means. Based on the last 3 posts in here I think it's important to answer that question before I move on. I could just give you a dictionary definition, but you're young and growing. Exercising that brain of yours is important. Also, I want to know where the hell this question came from.

I had to think about that for a second. How I would describe quizeens is food, for example, maybe its rice and chicken but they have a specific spice or something like that. Like I have had food from Indian resterants, Korian resterants, and many others but you never see a canadian or american resterant, apart from fastfood, which is not really considered a *american resterant* in the sence. But yeah. Idk about that definition, I am only in grade 8 so I am at the stage where I will know the word but just not know how to describe it. But yeah.

And also I apologize for my taribal spelling. Still working on that too.

I was just in Europe and they had American themed restaurants there. Obviously you live in Canada so they won't have American or Canadian food there. It's just called food.
I don't think any country on these continents have anything that can be truly unique as it relates to food. America only really started being mass-settled 200 years ago, and Canada less so. Most of the foods we have here is some thing taken from one country in the old world, then modified by adding a local spice, then combining that concept with another thing from another old world country, then cooking it in the style of another old world country. Every country in this part of the world is a melting pot mainly built from a couple cultures really. In the case of the US, that's mainly British and German, with a few regional variations , and in Canada, that's mainly British and French. The food would reflect that.
Like, pizza was originally Italian, but it was adapted and modified based on things Italian-Americans now had access to in the US.
For example, in my own country, a lot of our food is pretty basic in concept, but distinct enough to where the versiosn you can find in, IDK, India or Africa is something fundimentally different.
Your logic is seriously lacking though. You need to exercise your brain more instead of focusing on stupidness

@9 agreed. I don't reckon people who live in India sit there going, "gosh, I'd really like some Indian food for dinner." That'd be outright silly.
over and out. I stand with the people of Palestine

In general there's this attitude that America doesn't have any kind of culture and everything I wrote in @9 applies equally

I do have to agree there. Still got a long way to go. Anyways, yeah, you never here something called Canadian food or American food. No spices or nothing. We are known for some things but I am not sure if they could be considered a quizeen or something we just invented.

@12 you never hear of canadian/american food because you're from here. People who come from abroad do though.

#14

We here in germany aktually have Ammerican restaurants, usually with burgers and stuff like that.

#15

Yeah tbh all that I can think of when it comes to American food is indeed fastfood, it is probably a very narrow and hurtful stereotype, but maybe that's because of how popular and America associated the fastfood chains like MCDonald's or KFC are.

@1 you live in Canada, so US/Canadian food to you is just... food. In other places in the world there indeed exist the terms American/Canadian food.

#17 Edited

Hot dogs, apple pie, pizza, burgers, barbecue, casarole, bagels, poutein, pancakes, etc.
EDIT:
Pretty sure what Americans call Chinese food is also distinct from the food you'd find in Asia and radically adapted for an American pallet.
