klemkin Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 is usually terrible, from experience. Hamburgers, hotdogs, pizza. But... for the first time... I've tried potato salad made by an American friend. I think I am in love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malchaeius Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I am also fairly positive that hot dogs are a German creation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindflayer Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Pizza was first invented by the chinese.. but it didn't involve tomato sauce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klemkin Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Whether and where they are created, I think the country where most people gain sustenance from them on a consistent basic is where that food might call home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of those are simply delectable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imoutgoodbye Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 fried dough? Those are usually on the main buffet line. I'm talking about those creamy topped, sometimes maplish flavored, sometimes regular yellow cake, sometime spice cake (I hate spice cake)....bleh...I have no idea what these things are. I just call them little cakes. Kinda remind me of petite fours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imoutgoodbye Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 A moon cake? I like that. We'll call them moon cakes, for they taste as light as moon beams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mali Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Pizza is Italian, but if you are in New York or Florida, there is some great pizza to be had. Hamburgers and Hot Dogs are German, with the first term describing someone from hamburg who is then cooked on a patty. And hot dogs come from Weiner-ville, Germany (the capital, if I'm not mistaken). Since America is so diverse and includes two major world regions (both south and north America) anything could be considered "american food" based on your location at the time. I had some great Greek food the other day down at the sponge docks, but really all of the ingredients and cooking happened here in the USA. Most of us do not eat hamburgers and pizza all day, despite what you may have heard on TV. Now if you want something really American, go get some barbecue chicken. You won't be disappointed. Or if you are really lucky, you can eat Celerity's moon pie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The-Nameless Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Gator Tail is good. Where America shines is slow smoked Barbeque. I loves me some divine ribs, and a slab of slow smoked brisket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croyvern Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Doughnuts, Ice Cream, Corn Whiskey! Oh Wait, never mind. BTW Potato salad is German/Austrian in origin. Though they do not add mustard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRins Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Hotdogs and hamburgers are both from German...Pizza is chinese or Italian depending when you want to identify it as pizza. An incredibly small amount of food is actually "American". I am fairly certain potato salad isn't even originally from america. And if we are going to go with where the most of X is consumed...almost everything is Chinese or Indian then. Massive populations + the commercial interests that such populations create = greatest intake. And don't say...but its China...there is a Starbucks touching the Great Wall.

ladyoki Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Bbq hmmm.... I count that as more Uruguayan/Argentinian then again we call that Asado. and it's completely different.

Croyvern Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Corned beef and cabbage? WAIT! Indian Tacos, Waffle Cones, nearly every frozen Ice cream treat you can name, who says there is no "real" American food? The french invented Ice Cream, we just perfected it. And do not get me started on the hundreds of unique Bar B Q techniques. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imoutgoodbye Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Corned beef and cabbage? CORNED BEEF! That's the junk that made me sick while it was boiling! I've probably never had brisket, especially after googling it and checking the price per lb. However, stuffed cabbages and boiled dinner (real beef, not corned beef) are positively delicious. Boil up some potatoes, carrots, a few onions, and some meat...mmmmmmm...delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
