Hot take: a lot of British cuisine is fine if you take the perspective that it's food for people who live on a cold, rainy island. Sheppard's pie, totally solid comfort food for some potato farmer who spent all day out in a foggy field.

Amerikkkan food though... like even as poverty food Wtf?

I mean this is gross but peanut butter and jelly is a very good low effort snack or lunch food and I think is pretty rare outside of the US.

I continue to not understand how peanut butter has not become a world wide staple

it's handy for a lot of sauces too. peanut butter in curry sauce or salad dressing is great

I've meet African immigrants who say it's a thing in North West Africa.

Peanuts are a very common crop in West Africa, there's a lot of peanut based cuisine from various cultures there. Peanut/groundnut soup tasty

PB&J is fine.
