Italy, France and China have wonderful cuisines that extended beyond America. They brought ideas to the American palatte, not the other way around. There always were plenty of animals in Europe. There were a variety of vegetables and herbs as well as spices that Americans were clueless about. But this is not to knock the ingenuity of the wonderful American Indian. They knew how to use nature with honor and used every part of the animal for something as well as the plants.
