LOL... Many Americans, like me, have very simple food requirements. Personally, though I occasionally enjoy good tasting foods, I would usually be happier if I could simply gulp a pill and wash it down rather than go to the trouble of preparing and eating and cleaning up after a meal.
I eat to live, I don't live to eat.
This would explain the phenomeon that is American-style Chinese food?
I'm the same way about food. Too time-consuming to go through the trouble. I often have to stop something important to attend to this necessary function...:-)
