Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
This goes back to my grits question. Grits are entirely American, made from a Western Hemisphere plant, and based on American Indian cooking. Most Americans, however, do not have a cultural history of grits for breakfast.
Mmmm, grits... Waffle House turned me on to grits. Love them.
"American culture" is in Texas is probably not what American culture is in Manhattan.
That's why I don't think there is *an* American culture. We're too big.

Kraft dinner, yo.

I think there are probably American cultural traits, if that's a thing. Like, wanting it new, wanting it fast, wanting it time-saving, wanting it *perfect*. But I think that gets translated into a lot of different traditions from region to region.

Also, you have in the US a particularly-mobile subset of the workforce, namely the professional working class, which is likely to move some distance at least once during their lifetime. As a result, I think some cultural traditions (like regional accents and turns of phrase) are losing their power...
Mmm, grits.
But I never heard of Kraft dinner until I met Canadians. So while Kraft mac and cheese may be part of my ethnic food, "Kraft dinner" isn't.
