In fairness the US is a pretty young country, and that's also how food generally works.
A while back ago for example some people tried to claim that Swedish meatballs are actually Turkish, but they mistook their history for Kåldolmar ( cabbage rolls ) which are a reinterpretation of Turkish Dolma.
But Kåldolmar are still different from Dolma and we consider it our own.

But even with meatballs pretty much all countries have/ had their own version of it, I mean good luck hunting down the original meatball xD.
So I don't really think that US cuisine is less valid because how it has developed is the same as it has around the world really.



Now you are a Neko.

Drink it and return to Lala~ :3

Warleader Na'Kal "Breen!! You imported Breen from homeworld"

G'Kar: (chuckling) "It isnt actually Breen..."

Na'Kal: "But the smell..the taste..."

G'Kar: "Its an Earth food, they call it Swedish meatballs. Its a strange thing, but every sentient race has their own version of Swedish meatballs. I suspect its one of the universe's great mysteries, which will either never be explained, or which would drive you mad if you ever learned the truth..."
