Technically these foods are foreign, however I think most of us do not view them as such......?

Question

Like spaghetti for example, its a common dish here in America. Is this simply because we are Americans or is other countries like this also with some foreign food?

Answer 1

well, the British view curry as a common dish and it certainly isn't english. ;)

Answer 2

Spaghetti, like most pasta, was brought from the Orient by Marco Polo...

To answer your question, no. Pizza joints were few and far between in the UK during the 70s. Now you can't swing a dead cat by the tail without hitting one. Indian and Chinese restaurants have always been quite common in the UK (but make sure that they're not using malted vinegar *before* you order sweet & sour!)

Answer 3

Well my guess is no because America mostly adopted such foods from different countries when their people came here so I guess if you went to Mexico it wouldnt be that common
