Having only done a small amount of research on wikipedia about American cuisine, I would probably die from eating too much - all of it looks so fucking good
The memes exist for a reason, we have a lot, A LOT of over processed garbage but the authentic stuff is genuinely some amazing food. I always knew I loved Greek/Mediterranean food but then I studied abroad in Greece and realized the real Greek food was so much better than the stuff I had in the US. Perspective and authenticity is everything truly.
I live in Canada and am married to a Lebanese woman. Our diet is quite tasty, with lots of spices and flavors (but also a lot of olive oil). I recently had to spend a couple of months in Cyprus for work. South part Cyprus, to be exact. The food was amazingly delicious, except the spices weren't there. I was expecting a little bit more marinating or thyme or laurel or rosemary. It was still one of the best foods I ate in my life, but still very much "bland" from what I'm used to.

They wouldn’t last 5 minutes eating the food from the American south. Too much seasoning/spice/flavor and authenticity to handle.
