USican food does not use spices. I say this because whenever I try any ethic foods, they are scaldingly intensely flavored.
Indian, Chinese, Mexican, Latin American, South American, European foods... And from what I've seen even Scandinavian foods are more lye than fish and then you get African foods which consist entirely of spices since calories are rarer than gold.
So as far as I can tell either the rest of the world has no taste buds or somehow the US simply doesn't use spices. The average american does eat enough salt to de-ice four miles of alaskan highway per day, though.
Surprise.
