I'd downvote you but... to be honest nothing is more American then what we eat. Think about the food we eat more often then not.

Italian, Mexican, English, Asian... Pizza is most certainly not what they make in Italy. Unless it is a restaurant that wants to not make sales.

The US takes everything from around the globe and turns it into... something anyone can eat. We are the great American Melting Pot when it comes to food.

And you know what? I'm having home made tacos tonight.

Or turns events in history from other countries that have nothing to do with us into drinking holidays.

St. Patrick's Day - St. Patrick was from England, captured as a slave, then taken to Ireland before escaping years later. He returned to Ireland and lived a poor life as a bishop until he died on March 17th.

Cinco de Mayo - A victory for Mexico over France at the battle of Puebla. It was not even a major strategic win, it just merely boosted morale (as all victories do). The French later defeated Mexico and installed their own Emperor. Napoleon only withdrew because he had several other potential global skirmishes. It's not even Mexican Independence day, that's 9/16.

Not complaining, I gladly get blasted all of these "holidays". America. frick yea.
