Why is European food bland?

[Hitman Hodgson]

In America even in smaller towns you can find mostly any cuisine like Chinese,Mexican,Japanese, italian, etc.... So we are used to tasting various foods. Europeans don't usually have an expanded taste pallet cause they eat the same thing every day. So anything new is weird to them. You find them drinking their tinny coffee and smoking their 10 packs of cigarettes a day.

I can get pretty much any food I want here and this is the case for most European countries in my experience.

Sure you can but the question is, is it good? Also, you really cant clown on the coffee in Europe. You can get a much better cup of coffee anywhere in Italy then you can in the US.

Slightly off topic, but the best coffee I had was in Vietnam, I was shocked by how strong it was!

I agree been to Europe several times france England Switzerland and the food does taste bland with exception of those Indian food in the UK. Probably cuz they use less preservative flavoring and stick to organic food. I was in South france last summer one piece of apple costs the same as 8 packs of water. That tells me food isn't wide produced as it is in the US or it woulda been cheaper

Yeah and many places in Latin America as well. My point being, the coffee in the US for the most part sucks.

That is true. Food in Europe can be a lot more expensive then North America, and especially the US.

US>>>>>Canada food prices, as In better prices in US.

I agree with Italian food being awesome. I went to north Italy and the pasta was just delicious that I can't even compare it to any pasta I've had here in Cali. Oh and they make one great chicken wings

Americans don't really eat food per se.

They eat bags of sugar disguised as food, which is highly addictive and why they are so fat.
