    Every question (can't dodge) is for an American.

    I get nagged all the time for reviews by Google Maps.

    If the place is an eatery, they usually ask (amongst other things)
    "Does this place serve X" where X is an almost entirely American
    dish. For example (but not quite so extreme) Grits, or Fried Green
    Tomatoes or biscuits and gravy.

    [The latter is a breakfast dish comprising something a bit like a
    scone, covered in white sauce]

    The biscuit bears no resemblance to a biscuit as we know it, and the
    gravy bears no resemblance to gravy. Other than that, it's a fine
    description!
    On the other hand 'Grits' perfectly describes that dish.

    Does it ask about "Po' Boys" too?
