Non-Americans: in America, we preface food names with countries like “French toast “ or “English muffins” — besides cheese, what foods do you preface with “American” in your country?

Canadian here. We don't refer to "American cheese" as such. We call it processed cheese or cheese slices. I don't think we refer to any food as American

Does anyone outside of America even call it American Cheese? I would be really surprised if they did tbh

They don't. American cheese isn't really sold outside of the states. Unless you mean the slices those are toast cheese usually.

I think ribs are the only thing i have seen marketed as American (more specifically "Southern").

Aussies mostly associate American food with ridiculous portion sizes coupled with lots of deep frying.

A lot of the junk food in the stores is labeled as American.

American pancakes are kind of a thing here in the UK as our pancakes are traditionally very thin, pretty much like crêpes.
