Mostly this. But also so much food that a typical American eats is appropriated from elsewhere (often Europe) – stuff like pizza, burgers, fries, etc. So I was interested in seeing how much of that sort of stuff was included. It sounds like they avoided it for the most part.
I think America has a decent claim on burgers. While it’s true that a hamburger-type sandwich may have originated elsewhere, the cheeseburger seems to be an American innovation. And the cheeseburger is so superior to almost every other type of sandwich that it has to be classified as not-a-sandwich when people try to rank the best sandwiches.

Most Soul food is American, even though it has African and Caribbean influences.

To me the ultimate American food is a bunch of those little flag pins covered in nacho cheese.

Feel like we’ve had a discussion of quintessential American foods many times before.
Scorching hot take
So Twitter created the ability to follow ‘topics’ and I impulsively signed up for the cosplay topic. Twitter then started send me notifications about tweets, but they were all the nearly softcore porn sign up for my only fans cosplays. OK my bad, I should have seen this coming. I could see how I’d get roped into these notifications. So I unfollowed the topic.
Now I get a notification, do you want to follow ‘food inspiration’? And here’s the tweet Twitter used as an example of food inspiration

I feel like a key role of GenX is to relate to future generation how absolutely mental this country got after 9/11. idk if history lessons will ever really capture the zeitgeist.

Basically every aggressive band and song was banned from the radio. Dixie chick’s public enemy number one.
Ah, the infamous Clear Channel memorandum that included “every song” by Rage Against The Machine.
I mean, how long after Ida should a classic rock station refrain from playing “Rock You Lila a Hurricane”?
Taliban song even worse
