yes, that's why they eat bacon and burgers with fries and salads with extra ranch dressing... :)
cuisine depends on the climate, of course...
that's true but I believe that in America they also have winters (at least in some parts) ;)

you don't have to go to a German restaurant to eat those... it's served everywhere...
Sauerkraut is also considered a signature German dish but I dislike it and can't in good conscience recommend it, nor will I, for ethical reasons, recommend the most pricey thing on German restaurants' menus which is a breaded veal dish which has a name in German which I have forgotten.

it's not bad... American market just isn't a good place for it... because if you "Americanize" Polish food, it won't be Polish anymore...
So I guess Polish food is so bad that even when you Americanize it, it's still awful.

are you sure? Americans don't like fancy food, they stick to bbq, burgers and Tex-Mex...
all cuisines are "americanized" to fit an american taste and sell... so nothing original here...
German, French, Spanish, and Greek are definitely more popular.

News / Multi-culti (in Poland) -- roadmap to disaster? [344]
only 0.1 % of Polish population were foreigners in Poland in 2010...it's one of the lowest in EU (EU = 32.5mln foreigners)...
in 2010 there were 45.500 foreigners in PL, and that includes 14.800 of EU citizens...less foreigners than in Poland is in Malta or Iceland...
Switzerland beats the record - 43% of foreigners (who work in institutions of EU or international banks)...
Poland is still not a major attraction for economic immigrants or even refugees.
