American Foods
I'm an American from Maryland. I think of corn as being a very American food.

American from MD too.......... I'll go for more local: St. Mary's County Stuffed Ham defines food in southern MD.CommMayo wrote:Since this seems to be a very international group, I was wondering what people think qualifies as American food. For fun, include your country of origin.

I have to admit though, blue crabs with Old Bay and fresh raw oysters are pretty darn Maryland. Wash it all down with a Natty Boh, hon. Or a 10oz Bud for you southern Maryanders.

They might have pizza elsewhere but there is nothing like a NY pizza.
On another note: I think those mystery jello salad/dessert-things are pretty American. Anything in suspended jewel toned jello, I've seen fruit, veggies and meat. That dish has no boundaries.
Edit: Grilled Cheese! Especially if the bread has been buttered and then put on the griddle. With a milkshake (any flavor). Gotta love late night Diner staples.

I visited a friend in Utah for skiing and we stopped by to visit some of his extended family. They had all kinds of jello things, I mean, he warned me but to see it was something else. It was like a cook-off convention for jello abominations. Among all the variations of suspended foods, there was a Chicken Soup Jello...I have not been able to eat jello since.

I will say I will always love a New York Pretzel and NY Pizza I enjoy more then the pizza I ate in Italy. (I still don't understand the knife and fork concept of eating certain food.)
In North Carolina we have amazing sweet tea, Virginia Ham and some interesting moonshine.

In Japan, you can get corn dogs fresh from most convenience stores, and they're delicious. They call them American Dogs, though, so I think most of the world can agree that corn dogs are pretty AmericanCaitlinGonya wrote: ↑17 Nov 2017, 14:52 I'm an American from Ohio and currently live in Kentucky. I think fried chicken, hotdogs, and corndogs are the epitome of American foods.

After visiting and living there a few years, I would add biscuits and gravy. And grits. (Loved those biscuits mmm)
(Sri Lankan born Australian here).
Still laughing at CommMayo's dad's abomination of a salad.
