    Is that the usual American response when they see food that isn’t ultra-processed?

    Edit: apparently I meant ultra-processed.

        Yeah, most food has been processed. That’s why we have the term ultra-processed for most American food.

      It’s definitely processed and also it was a funny joke because for Americans eating a fish mostly intact isn’t all that common. I don’t even like seafood and shockingly that doesn’t mean I eat ultra processed food every meal. I know, hard to fathom something different from your own diet.

      I think they referencing the traditional way to eat maatjes, lifting the whole thing by the tail and lowering it into your mouth

        Kind of an ignorant take. You can get literally any nationality’s food in America. This country is fucked, but at least for now, we still have some really fucking good food here.

      You should probably understand what processed means if you want to toss shade.

      Back to seriousness, it always amazes me the euros still toss shade about American food. It’s some of the best of the planet. Certainly better than anything out of the Netherlands 🤣. As if you people have even earned a right to be in the same room as the rest of Europe much less the international stage.

      You have flattened ice cream cones and crepes you have confused for pancakes.
