Not that I can speak for him, but I think what SC meant was it was dumbed down to please the American masses, if not at least be edible to a wide range of people. I know I have gotten food like that on a cruise, as well as on tour group trips to Europe. The food served at group meals on the group tour was very Americanized and bore only a little resemblance to what you'd get if you ventured out on your own. Just like at EPCOT (Disney), those country-specific restaurants serve very Americanized dishes, at least all of the ones I've eaten in.
