What would you consider the major differences between European and American?

I feel like as Europeans, we're as good at importing American food as America is about importing European.

What you call European food is a direct result of importing American food. Just different Americans...

There's plenty of European food without potatoes and tomatoes. And even then, incorporating ingredients originally native to the Americas doesn't really mean "importing American food".

American food is things like beef jerky, pemmican, maize breads.

European food is things like hamburgers, French fries, hotdogs, and apple pie.

This is getting silly

Edit: added a missing comma

As European as American apple pie or as American as European apple pie?
