American foods began to affect the rest of the world. American emphasis on
convenient and rapid consumption is best represented in fast foods such as hamburgers,
French fries, and soft drinks. By the 1960s and 1970s fast foods became one of
America’s strongest exports as franchises for Me Donald’s and Burger King spread
through Europe and other parts of the world, including Russia and China. Traditional
meals cooked at home and consumed at a leisurely pace gave way to quick lunches and
dinners eaten on the run as other countries imitated American cultural patterns.

more poultry, fish and vegetables, and fewer eggs and less beef. Cooks began to
rediscover many world cuisines in forms closer to their original. In California, chefs
combined fresh fruits
and vegetables available with ingredients and spices borrowed from immigrant kitchens
to
create an innovative cooking style that was lighter than traditional French, but more
interesting and varied than typical American cuisine. Along with the state’s wines,
California cuisine took its place among the acknowledged forms of fine dining.
