Traditional American Food

I am not an American but base on my observation. Americans can survive with hotdogs and buns. I think Pizza is an influenced from Italians? I'm not sure though but that's what I usually from the Americans and Oh salad, yes salad :)

It would definitely be steak... but the ones you mentioned are also like the all time favorite american food... they are mostly eaten during snack time... the steak is like the favorite lunch or dinner... and i know some Americans who can eat this everyday... with mashed potatoes and salad... Steak here in my country is cooked differently... in restaurants... we are rarely asked if we want rare, medium or well done... it would always be well done... but when i was in the US... i love my steak medium well...

In such a big country (almost a continent) where so many cultures melt, it`s difficult to say what is traditional american food. I hope that posterity does not asociate traditional american food with Mc Donald`s or other fast food chains. If I were to think about the subject, I`d start with what is served in Thanksgiving and follow that through all the contributions that different ethnic groups have made. I have been checking lately on some southern food such as Gumbo, Jambalaya and the like.

Things like Burgers are American because they where invented here. They didn't travel. I think other foods would be Buffalo wings, mac and cheese, Maple syrup (Native Americans made this) Cheesecake!

I love American Cuisine for more practical and fast food. American cuisine is a culinary kind developed in the states of the United States, ranging from the mainland to the islands of Hawaii. These dishes are popular in the United States of various countries in the world economy and expansion of American restaurant outlets that sell hamburgers, fries, hot dogs, pizza (with its own peculiar) and barbecue. Reflecting the influence of various immigrant and native tribes, the United States cuisine is one of the world's richest culinary. I like pizza very much. In my town, I always eat pizza 3 times in a week. I have go to New England, U.S., 2 years ago. All New England cuisine in the United States are affected from the culinary traditions of European immigrants in the past and is still maintained today. And the most interesting for me was the southern United States, where it is the food of immigrant cuisines influenced by the French, Scottish, Irish, English, Spanish, Indian (Native) and black African descent. The main ingredients of which many are produced pork, corn and seafood. Grill-roast or barbecue that has been known around the world comes from this region and stems from the way the Indians roasting meat over a fire that was introduced to the settlers. Maybe if I have time, I will visit US again. I want to go to Hawaii island, and I will check their special food.
