I feel like a lot of people are taking the post too literally (or maybe I’m not). I once knew a girl who posted a photo of her dad watching football on a plane captioned “Persian dads really need their football lol” and it’s like. That’s just a universal dad thing. Lots of dads in every culture do that.
Some people just do not think about cultures outside their own. Like, at all.
But the importance of food can be very different still. As a German I would say food is not a huge part of social culture. Like yes we eat together when we celebrate, but the food is usually just a necessity instead of the main focus

Hey that IS my American culture!
Certain things are constant across cultures. Among them: food, sports, and music.
And when I say “food”, I mean beyond just biological sustenance. It’s part of culture and an important part of social gatherings.

which is a shame because schupfnudeln fried in blutwurst and sauerkraut should be sang to high heaven
Oktoberfest is not exactly not about food and drink though.
Fair enough
The only thing that varies is the type of football. Looking at you America, but I think that is going to change very soon.
Soon it will be FootWar, sponsored by Pete Hegseth and the War Hawks as well as sports betting.
