American living abroad, food is one of the things I miss the most, and not just classic American foods. But, outside of extremely large metropolises, international options are often lacking in European cities in general.

That’s true in America too no? Like from my experience even fairly large towns just have the major fast food brands and not much else, unless they’re on the southern border.
Not at all, this is just relevant because its one of the types of food I miss the most, but in my city in the US of like 500,000, there were like 5 Ethiopian restaurants. I now live in a European capital city, with millions of people. If I wanted Ethiopian food I’d have to go to another country.
Can I ask what city because there only 10 cities in Europe with a population in the multi millions and pretty sure all would have Ethiopian food even if its quite niche.
And I’m sure I could pick some big cities in the US that are missing certain cuisines that are common in Europe. Like does Charlotte NC or Jacksonville have any Polish restaurants? Or Morocco restaurants? As in my limited experience you’ll be lucky to get a “”“European”“” or “”“Mediterranean”“” resturaunt at best outside of the most major cities with large inmigrsnt populations like LA and New York.
I think that’s kind of true. There’s no “traditional” restaurants from other countries, but in every small town in America you can have a choice between “Italian” food(both “fancy” restaurants like olive garden and pizza) “Chinese” food, “Mexican” food and the occasional gyro shop, German place or Indian place.
