England

Correct. Also for every English dish that is even remotely appetizing there's something they've given a truly horrid name like "mushy peas"

[Mickey]

Ate really well the one time I was in Chile but on a global scale Chilean food is unremarkable (especially since pisco and ceviche are Peruvian).

Same goes for Uruguay. Amazing meals, had a pound-for-pound better dining experience in Montevideo than in BsAs, but very little that would make you say "that's Uruguayan for sure!"

There's chivito Uruguayo which I love but generally yes

One more in defense of remarkable American cuisine, but one that isn't intensely regional like others we mentioned:
American Diner Culture

Describe american diner culture.

"do you want gravy that?..yes"

"do you want gravy that?..yes"

And gravy’s sweet counterpoint, copious amounts of maple syrup.

[The Argonaut]

Maple syrup and gravy are essential elements. When one thinks of diners, one thinks of lunch counters, booths, a casual atmosphere, inexpensive food, long hours, breakfast all day, a relatively standard menu of classic American fare like burgers and fries and milkshakes and pies. There are variations, like the Greek diner, that exist because the form of the diner is unpretentious and allows variation. Some diners lean hard into the fifties aesthetic that is present in all diners. Stainless steel siding for some reason.
