“Many of the dishes that are commonly recognized as “Chinese food” were actually developed in America and bear little resemblance to traditional Chinese cuisine. Examples include fortune cookies, crab rangoon, and General Tso’s chicken, none of which originated in China. Instead, these dishes were crafted to suit American palates, often characterized by sweetness, bold sauces, and deep-fried dishes.”

The other commenter specified ‘European’,as to remind that Europe is included in the term ‘western’, and I haven’t seen any of these here.
Also I think that calling a style developed by Chinese people, that had learned to cook from other Chinese people (and so on for many generations) ‘100% American’ is debatable at least.
European chinese food is def a creation of rhe people that immigrated here. There is no american connection in between. What the fuck are you smoking
