Our food is also bland horrible. Theirs no reason to take a vacation here. Everyone is subject to arbitrary detention without reason or cause. Asia is still cheap, has better food and generally has significantly lower crime.

I truly did not get that complaint until I left the NY/NJ area. Wow, it is shocking how bad restaurants are here in the US outside of a few regions. It makes me realize why so many New Jerseyans end up coming back!

  Bad and expensive.

  The bad food is a plus. The most orderly civilizations generally have the blandest food. Almost all societies with good food are chaotic and disorderly. This is true even within the US—nobody raves about the food in Vermont or Utah—and nobody raves about how clean and orderly New Jersey is.

    What the fuck is the purpose of having a civilization if everyone lives like a puritan instead of enjoying their lives, also Japan exists to disprove this

      Japan is blessed with incredible natural ingredients, but it's famously mild and light on seasoning compared to other Asian cuisines. There's a whole historical tradition as to why Japanese food avoids strong flavors: https://www.sushiya.de/en/washoku/shojin-ryori/ https://www.sushiya.de/en/washoku/shojin-ryori/

  You don't enjoy the food in so called 'Real America'? Taco Bell and Wendys are all a MAGA needs so its good.

Our fruit sucks and we basically have no street food culture worth discussing. But we have the best pizza in the world. Detroit, Chicago and a decent NY are just better. The northern part of the east coast easily has the greatest concentration of amazing sandwiches in the world. It was shocking to me just how bad a sub sandwich can be even if you are in a different location in the US, I never found one I would recommend in Chicago. Most places I've traveled have a single style of sandwich maybe worth eating. Although sandwiches like the Banh Mi deserve to be discussed. But you can get those wherever there is any kind of Vietnamese population in the US and I haven't noticed much difference regionally personally. Brisket BBQ was also invented here and most countries do not even a bad option for it.

  > But we have the best pizza in the world There's italians all around the world. You can have a great pizza virtually everywhere. I had a great one, and I mean among the best I had in my life (mind you I've been to the highest rated pizzas in Italy) even in Sangenjaya, Tokyo, Pizzeria Da Peppe - NAPOLI STA CA.

    Japan regularly wins best Italian pizza competitions, but those chefs are usually Japanese. I've been to a few of the winners in Tokyo and they were great but I still prefer a Detroit style over them

  I really didn’t enjoy Chicago pizza when I visited, as with many things in the US it’s quantity over quantity and the cheese is not as good as you find in Europe
