Not sure where you’re reading that into my comment, the USA is right up there with most developed countries. Using that as a proxy for “culinary development” it’s in the mix with most European countries (coincidentally slightly above Spain by 2/3 metrics).
So you either subjectively hate USA cuisine for some reason or are unfairly comparing the two (eg. Average meal in Madrid vs NYC Midwest McDonalds)

good food is the bare minimum standard, not a luxury
