A bit random, but I’ve also been wondering about the culinary traditions the Universal Empire will develop? Given all of that cultural, ethnic, and ecological diversity, I assume there’d be an plethora of foods to try that’d vary from place to place, many of which the Americans will enthusiastically bring back to the homeland (alongside a hodgepodge of other “foreign” trinkets and luxuries they encounter in their conquests). Personally, I’d be open to having Eastern European and Middle Eastern foods become more mainstream in American culture, and considering how those regions are probably within America’s line of sight, that could very well happen.
Presumably, it'd be more okay with a male user?
(Anyway, I called that user 'he' in the same post, and didn't even know his/her/its gender.)
