This really bears repeating. Novelty food is a thing that people do for entertainment but it really ought not to be mistaken for the actual eating habits of most actual people.
I don't know a single person under the age of 80 that admits to having eaten lutfisk.
my friend with the masters' in Norwegian history and language has
and then she went there and everyone she met was like " :shock: you ate that?"

Basically anything containing meat + fat will benefit from sriracha. Burgers, hot dogs, etc. French fries, fried mozzarella sticks. Anything that is not good for you is amazing and still not good for you with sriracha.

Thousands of hot, local singles are waiting to play at bubbulon.com.
but when you're talking about the current state of food, music, television and other forms of media then it's pretty clear one isn't much better than the other.
Disagree
there is plenty of good American food
yes but I guess it is an issue of how we define "the current state"
surely the average American does not eat as well or as healthfully as the average Italian, Spaniard, Frenchman, or Greek (although probably no worse than the average Englishman).
Does the peak of American cuisine offer anything as creative and tasty as the best chefs of Europe (and do many of those European chefs open flagship restaurants in the US anyway)? Yes.
What about the quality of food? Access to fresh produce, organic and locally-grown food? Traditional butchering? Local bakeries? Do we consider price (at least that's one thing where we beat the Europeans)?
What about the dispersal across the population and landmass of the country? Obviously the distribution of restaurants and local food establishments of high quality in France is much denser than what we observe in the vast majority of America -- really even moreso than in our largest urban centers. I can't remember the last time I saw a local butcher, and local bakers are even a rare sight these days. If you're not on the West Coast you'll be lucky to even find a local coffee roaster worth a damn.
Overall, I think most of Continental Western Europe has a much more vibrant, healthful, and fulfilling culture around food.
It's like healthcare. Yes, at the very peak of luxury, America is as good as anywhere else. But very few people ever see that. Most of us deal with a much more mediocre reality than our peers on the Continent, and many of us have no access to anything worthwhile at all.

To be fair, I think that describes a fair chunk of Europe as well.

This isn't really true for the British Isles, Germany, Netherlands, Scandinavia, most of Eastern Europe and Central Europe. Regarding France and Italy I totally agree though.

I'm sure I can find someone who's ok with bein butt fucked at night
Will has admitted in the past to really liking it on the mcdonald's dollar double cheeseburgers
I tried that recently and you know it's actually a pretty good combo
Lutfisk is actually a long con practical joke.
Um.
It goes nice with starches, carbs, harder dairy products.
On anything you would put Soy or Tamari Sauce on the combo of Soy Sauce + sriracha is even better.
like I said nexus is looking for a roomy.
possibly mikeman too but I'm not certain
I'll have airplane bottles!
I think I literally forgot that right as you said it

That is adorable. Like the boogie man in your closet, except you are in your 20s and the closet is your butt.
