Some might say that explains the lack of fine cookery Stateside, though I, of course, couldn't
possibly comment...

Of course you may comment, Focalist, and your comment is welcome.
Most Americans eat what I might, in a kind mood, describe as C**P.
I refer to 'fast food', which to my palate merits a translation of food
sic
that makes one want to fast.
That said, every major city and most small towns here offer a tantalizing variety of really good cooking [cookery if you prefer].
During my many visits to your side of the puddle, I discovered a rather similar pattern. Most people eat stuff that is overcooked, and overloaded with salt, grease, and sugar. Yet very interesting fine food is easily available.
Shall we agree that 'everyman' eats far better in Spain, Argentina, France and Italy, rather than debating the merits of
cooking vs. cookery ?
