You have to understand that America is a relatively new country compared to Europe. But now there are many excellent beer, cheese, wine etc. manufacturers there that produce an excellent product. So don't get an attitude that just because you come from a European country that only your country produces the best! Of course there are many excellent foods from European countries, but there excellent foods coming from America, Canada, Asia, Australia. NZ, etc. now. The problem here is refrigeration is relatively new. So they have markets daily, and cook daily. Dairy products have not been a part of their diet, so that is why here in Bali they have Margarine, and imitation cheese they use.
Americans are popular in the fast-food industry, particularly in franchises specializing in burgers and fried chicken, pizzas.
American franchised brands like McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's, KFC dominate the scene around the world. In Hamburgers for instance It is even overshadowing the origin of the term "hamburger" from Hamburg, Germany.
The same thing with sausages. Frankfurter which is originally known as German sausage came from Frankfurt in Germany, but after the American change the term to Hot Dog, it is now more popular than their Frankfurter origin. Likewise Pizza Hut, Domino Pizza they are now more popular than its origin Italian Pizza.
Similarly, when it comes to whiskey and bourbon, American varieties such as Jack Daniel's have gained widespread recognition, rivalling the popularity of Scotch whiskies like Johnnie Walker.
Do not underestimate Americans in term of foods. I think they still can not match their European Counterpart in Beers, Wines, Cheeses.
