Why is European food bland?

its not bland. only the English, Irish and Scottish are know for their bland food.

The rest of Europe has what you call "cuisine". Brits just have cooked meat.

British food can be great though, if cooked properly with proper ingredients.

The best pizzas are the thin ones imo. I don't want a big thick base to my pizza. The original pizza was simply a thin stone baked bread base with cheese & tomato on top. All the other crap with pepperroni, anchovies, pineapple etc etc is american and tastes like sh8t

I am from
California, I get to travel to Europe for work once a year. I've visited Spain, France, Germany, Switzerland , UK, and Italy. I've mostlly spent most of my time in Italy the times that I have been there. So I'll focus on that region...

In California we have a lot of Mexican food restraunts. Some are great some are not. If you cross the border in to Mexico the food is amazing, better than what you find in California.

I love italian food so I figured I would have the same experience the first time I visited Italy. I figured if Italian food in America is good, in Italy it's going to be amazing!

I was wrong. The food in Italy isn't bad but it's not something that you say to yourself " I can't wait to come back to visit this restraunt"
The pastas are bland, bread has no salt and feels like it was left out to dry for a month. ( if you're a boxer eat some of that hard ass bread.... You'll have an iron chin in no time.)
Pizzas are plain and thin. And almost everything is the same. Pasta with tomatoe sauce, pasta with olive oil, PASTA with :__________( insert what ever ingredient here)

Before some one posts that I probably didn't go to the right places. I visited Rome, Firence, Venice, Napoles, and south italy. I visited restraunts that were recomended to me, some I found online, some I just walked in, and I've ate at a friends house many times that is from italy. So I had home made Italian food.

I told my friend from Italy how come they don't add some ****e or something extra to give the food more flavor so it's not too bland. He said because that's the way their ancestors cooked it and that it's the original recipe and that good food doesn't require many ingredients.

I understand what he was saying; however, I'm pretty sure if his ancestor was able to travel threw time to today. He would see him cooking and see all the different ****es and possibilities that are available today, he would slap his great great grand kid cause he's still eating like Julius Caesar was eating in his days.

The food isn't terrible. The chesese and salamees are good, so is the wine. Italian food is great. In my opinion Italian food was brought to America and perfected here. I just prefer American Italian instead of the authentic stuff.


Im wondering what others here that have been to europe think of the food?

Typing with my phone so please excuse any mistakes)

American food is loaded with fat and salt because they eat garbage day in and day out. As soon as you feed them something that humans can eat they get pissy and demand one of their watery beers.
