You're absolutely right. *insert 'sick' smilie here*...

I find that hard to swallow from someone coming from the land of burgers, hot dogs and extra extra large fries.

What's the American gift to the culinary world - donuts?

Ahhh, donuts are a light which shines brightly in the darkness of dessert... :liplick:

I don't have sweet tooth actually, but donuts hold a great fascination for me.

Mmmmmmm...
Jam donuts much more satisfying, but not so... useful.
(See, I have new resolve to make a contribution to cultural threads... XD)

Tommy burgers.
 
Depends where in the states your talking about. In my neck of the woods we have Cajun and Creole cookin', which I'm quite fond of.
 
I'm not gaijin, but after living in the US for some years, I miss this the most:
Especially the peeler at the bottom (the cheap one). I buy a couple of them every time I visit the US.
When I brought the peeler to my kids' elementary school to peel carrots, etc., to cook curry for a school festival, everyone stared at me...
(I guess the Japanese are too skillful with knives they never think of developing a good peeler... Japanese peelers suck... )
