I mean, fast-food is great, but to call it a cuisine would be a bit of a stretch IMHO... That and the fact that pizza is too Italian to be considered American . Hamburgers and French fries (the thin ones - not the thicker 'steak' fries which are found all throughout Europe as well as US) are pretty American though, in the sense that they are most popular and widespread in their American environment, as opposed to their original location.
Excuse me never heard of a fritkot/frituur have we? Fries are tyically belgium and it's full of food shops which sell it as their main product. Before the time of Mc donaldses which sadly put a lot fo them out of bussiness there was one or more in every little village and dozens on city markets and one in every city block.

Also fastfood isn't cuisine. Hamburgers are german btw. Ever heard of the city of Hamburg?

I'll say american, not just for our native (so to speak) foods but because of our improvements to foreign foods like pizza, beer, whiskey, chinese food, tacos, etc.
Better pizza? euh...no. And what about Italian pasta, antipasta, wine,...
Beer? Hounestly?
Whiskey? You never tried real whiskey in Scotland yourself have you?
Chinese? What american makes chinese? Noone except chinese. And I'd say they don't make it any different in Canada or Europe.
Tacos, hmm perhaps. Not a taco man myself. But cuisine is not the right word.

Give me the french and Belgian cuisine. That's much better. Though the british one is underrated. You just have to watch out where you go, but you can find great places everywhere in England. if you look. Nothing wrong with Italian either actually. German lacks refinery at times, but the quantity makes it up. But as Belgium is like Germany (beer + quantity) combined with French quality. I'd say though small and everything, it's not a bad place foodwise.
