Do Americans eat Twinkees anymore????? I won't even buy that stuff for my children. Occasionally, I have a craving for a Little Debbie snack cake, and hubby likes the oatmeal cream pies, but we avoid that kind of garbage except maybe a couple of times a year. We've never eaten at the Cheesecake Factory because it sounds like a dessert place, and we just don't seek out expensive cheesecake when we can make our own or buy a cheap one at Sam's. We ate shepherd's pie for dinner last night because hubby likes the occasional bland food. (I am no fan of shepherd's pie even when hubby spices it up, and he apologetically asked if we could have it for dinner last night. I obliged.) There are a zillion varieties of bread at grocery stores because there are a zillion ethnicities of people in this country. Different folks like different kinds of bread. Figure out what you like and buy it. Or make it yourself.
I love the variety of foods available in the US. I grew up on Southern cookin', and I'm perfectly happy with it. I especially love Cajun foods, and New Mexican (yes, NEW Mexican and not Mexican) food ranks right at the top of my favorite list.
Time to go fix lunch.
Prepare an extra place setting. I sounds like you have good taste.
