Had some amazing food when we were there in 2014, especially on the Inca Trail. I'll give the guinea pigs a miss next time tho.

Not a fan of eating guinea pigs personally since I have them as pets and vegetable recyclers. Then again I don't eat pork, beef, lamb, etc. Farmed animals in the west are pumped full of drugs.

I see US as such a non entity when it comes to making food that their opinion is barely irrelevant.

Oh yeah Americans claim they made Chinese food better, Lmfao yeah food gets better if you increase the portion size, fry it in gutter oil, add some pink meat paste, let the MSG rain from the heavens and slap on a ton of batter right?

Like someone else named above, the ultra sized meatballs that are supposedly Italian are such a cursed concept as well.

Obviously US is a big place and there will be many normal restaurants serving authentic food, but I think in terms of broadly speaking cuisine philosophy, they have one of the absolute worst globally, most of their practices are aimed at turning the food into its lowest common denominator while making it more carbs filled. Imho British cuisine is far superior to American cuisine, its bland but at least its authentic.

Also I'm gonna shit on the food of European poor people. Chinese poverty cuisine made a 1000+ different chicken, cheap seafood recipes, congee flavored with rich tasting but cheap ingredients etc. What did euro peasants accomplish? They were eating flour mixed with water alongside disgusting pickled fish before they discovered the potato. And what do they do with the potato? They boil it whole and eat it with nothing or the same disgusting pickled fish.

German sausages are good though.

Hamburger is arguably American food.

US have their own variant of food in the Louisiana region and is pretty good.

I wouldn't say US is completely irrelevant in terms of authentic food.

The newest British aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales has spent more time at the docks to repair breakdowns since it was commissioned in December 2019 than at sea. This was reported on Monday by the British newspaper The Times.

The stories of HMS Prince of Wales and Ajax AFV are laughable. I always mention them whenever I see a British person mocking the Su-57 or T-14.

Yeah, there are non borrowed American cuisine, mostly in the US Southern style.

It mostly depends on the quality of the ingredients, the freshness, how much is homemade etc. If you find restaurants of any cuisine that don't do shortcuts then they will in general be very good, regardless of what type of ethnic food one is talking.

My point was more that the type of American that make statements such as "Americans improved Chinese cuisine" are for sure the perfect target audience for lowest common denominator cuisine like taco bell and McDonalds.

Shots were fired near a NATO patrol in the northern part of Kosovo where local Serbs have set up roadblocks to bar police from Pristina from patrolling the area marred by ethnic tensions in recent months, NATO said on Sunday.

NATO screamed bloody murder when Serbia sent armed police into their own region of Kosovo to stamp out the foreign sponsored insurgency there, claiming it was genocide, but now the separatist Albanian Kosovar government going into Serb majority cities with armed police is supposed to be perfectly fine.

Why do you think morality and fairness matter in geopolitics?

To tell you the truth, I am bit shocked that NATO hasn't mopped up Serbia yet while its' patron is stuck in Ukraine. In my view, its inevitable that either Serbia will bend the knee, or NATO will break its spine.

That's the answer to your question.:
With your boss in trouble, we are coming to beat you

Serbia has little options here. They are basically surrounded on all sides. Back in the late 1990s, at least you could use sea lift via Montenegro, but right now even that would be impossible. They are effectively surrounded by NATO on all sides.
