While I lived in the Netherlands every year I’d have the same conversation with my parents and in-laws about why I was working on Thanksgiving. Every. Single. Year.

So, I totally understood calling ranch "American Flavor" since ranch dressing is one of the few properly American food items.

I always found it hilarious what food was labeled "American" in Dutch stores. Along with whatever weird random stuff they'd stock in the "American" section.
Out of curiosity I tried the pizza once... it wasn't half-bad for freezer pizza.

Fun fact: The PA Dutch are not Dutch. They're German. We're just really bad at foreign words and really mangled "Deutsche"
