You can say that about lots of foods around the world though. Pizza for example is called Italian, but it usually has tomatoes which are from the Americas. Indian dishes use chilis which came from Portugal which came from the Americas but often uses a lot of influence from England (Indian vindaloo is a really common dish in restaurants but vindaloo is based on a Portugese dish pronounced almost the same way).I don't get the hamburger for the US. I think steal so much food from other countries i don't think of anything is American.
Trade has been around for so long that it is nearly impossible to assign a food to JUST a single country. Instead, you have to assign a food to what a country latched on to and perfected.
