Tomatoes are from America though
Potatoes too.
Homo sapiens also doesn't originate from Europe.
South America specifically.
They gave us all the good stuff besides tobacco
Beer is good too, and did not come from America
No but there is a LOT of good beer in America, not the big three Bud/Miller/Coors but the microbrew scene in the US is crazy. Belgium still holds the title but the US ain’t a beer slouch.
And on the subject of hooch, while it might not be uniquely American to distill whiskey, moonshine culture is pretty distinct
Actually, America does have several whiskeys that cannot be cultivated anywhere else. Bourbon HAS to come from America, just as Scotch is from Scotland.
