Relatively little Italian pizza is consumed in the United States.
American pizza, by contrast, is quite popular. Once they start
putting barbecue chicken and/or ranch dressing on it, I'm not sure
it's even pizza. Might as well put it on a bun. (Hmm. Pizza on
a bun. Somebody should invent that.)
Here in Berlin, we had the "German-American Volksfest," a
carnival where "typical American food" was served. I remember
eating spare ribs there

Why not? They serve up deep-fried butter at some midways.

What was limited to the US (and Canada) in the '70s, was sticky,
smoky American backyard barbecue and roasting marshmallows over
a campfire! Thanks to American restaurants, TV shows and movies,
these traditions, just like Halloween, became known and partly
adopted in other parts of the world starting in the '80s.
Pizzas vary from one place to another. Some have thick crusts and some
have thin crusts and some are deep dish. It's still pizza. FWIW second worst pizza I ever had was in Milan. Granted, I bought it in the train station. That would lead to low expectations in North America but
European train stations often have great food. The worse pizza I ever
had was in the snack bar at the teen night club where I worked when I
was 15. It was horrid. I can say that because I used to make it. Mine
was no worse than what the other guys were making there. I am surprised anyone bought the stuff.

Given the popularity of pizza I am surprised that it scored so low. I
am sure that most Americans eat more pizza than barbecue.
You might want to leave Canada out of that. American BBQ tends to be a limited number of specific dishes that are cooked in a smoker. Here in Canada were have charcoal or gas grills we call BBQs and anything cooked
in those things is considered to be BBQ. It can be hot dogs, hamburgers, steak. Most of us didn't know anything about pulled pork, smoked brisket
and the lack until fairly recently.

The vegetarian pizza in the dorm cafeteria at the University of
Michigan in 1975. It had mild cheddar cheese and was topped with
peas and carrots (previously frozen).

Not most popular, but what best represents America.

Not just Canada, much of the northern US also. We never had that stuff
but I learned a lot on the internet. Some years ago there was a BBQ
email list and I learned a lot from it.
I can make a brisket that complete with the guys from Texas and pulled
pork as good as any in North Carolina.
My adventure into BBQ started on a business trip to North Carolina. I
was spending a couple of day with a newly hired salesman to teach him
about our product. One day for lunch he took me to a place that had
pulled pork. It was fantastic! It set me on a quest to duplicate it
and I got rather good at it.
Seems in the 1980s, with the help of the internet, BBQ became well known even in the big cities of the northeast. Now you can get a brisket sandwich at Arby's.

Great. Then you realized why the Southerners would be disappointed to
come for BBQed burgers when they were expecting some cooked low and slow
in a smoker. My niece married a guy from North Carolina and he had a
talk with my brother about BBQ and what it is supposed to be.
Seems in the 1980s, with the help of the internet, BBQ became well
known even in the big cities of the northeast. Now you can get a

Arby's?? Is it any good? I once had a beef sandwich from Arby's and
made the mistake of looking at the meat. Eww. It looked like something
that came out of a laboratory.

And the hamburger has some relation to the German city of Hamburg.
According to some sources, German immigrants traveling to the
United States brought a recipe called "Hamburg-style chopped beef"
or "Hamburg steak" - a seasoned, cooked patty of minced beef. By
the 1880s, American restaurants nationwide were selling this dish.
As vendors began flattening these patties and slipping them
between slices of bread for fairgoers and workers, the phrase was
shortened from "Hamburg steak sandwich" to simply "hamburger".
Once the dish became a staple of American cuisine, English
speakers separated the word into: "ham" (assuming the meat)
and "burger" (assuming the sandwich format).

According to some sources, German immigrants
traveling to the United States brought a recipe called "Hamburg-style chopped beef" or "Hamburg steak" - a
seasoned, cooked patty of minced beef. By the 1880s,
American restaurants nationwide were selling this dish.
As vendors began flattening these patties and slipping
them between slices of bread for fairgoers and workers,
the phrase was shortened from "Hamburg steak sandwich"
to simply "hamburger".
Once the dish became a staple of American cuisine,
English speakers separated the word into: "ham"
(assuming the meat) and "burger" (assuming the sandwich format).
Here in Berlin, we had the "German-American
Volksfest," a carnival where "typical American food"
was served. I remember eating spare ribs there
I was eating a lot of burgers last month. Just hearing the
word gives me a pain in the guts.

Mars burger?!?
Actually, I don't know what that was. It's was my
granddaughter's. It sorta looks like a burger. Da kids like
candy that looks like food. Oh well. OTOH, I'll probably make
a burger with fried cheese and crispy jalapeno for lunch.
I'll fry the cheese under the burger. Hahahahaha.

I couldn't help it - the allure of burgers is strong and I was hungry
for some meat. I went to the doctor on Friday and she said that my cholesterol levels were too low and that could impact my brain
function. She used the word "alarming." I can certainly believe that!

It's tempting but I won't say it.
Good. You need to practice some restraint.

I'm not sure how Italian Pizza scored so high.
And the hamburger has some relation to the German
city of Hamburg.

Lunch today was smoked pork belly. My daughter had grilled unagi. At the real >risk of upsetting people with pictures of restaurant food, I cautiously present
this into evidence.
