    I love Hawaiian Asian fusion foods. But if I had to choose something strictly "American" I would choose seasoned french fries, or something like funeral potatoes...

  15. Karla_sJuly 4, 2010 at 4:27 PM

    I recently read a book on the origin of food in different countries. There was a big shift after WWII in the US. Things that came from different countries all of a sudden became "american" food. Like hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salad (germany), fries (france or belgium), pizza (italy), pies (english) and a whole list of other things. So I guess not only is the US a "melting pot" of people but of food too. Corn is a NORTH american plant, so I guess natvie american recipies would be truly american. My british grandmother would never eat corn becuase she said it was cattle food.

    So.......... my favourite american food is....being able to get any kind of food that I might have a fancy for. Freedom. Thats american!

    I'm not even sure what is considered American food anymore since so much of our everyday food really has its origins in other countries. I think I will go with good old biscuits and sausage gravy. Homemade of course, none of that canned biscuit stuff or made from a packet gravy!

    Do mashed potatoes count? If so, definitely mashed potatoes. If not, then American-style pizza...cause pizza is not traditionally American as far as I'm aware, but we made it into what it is today (at least in this country - Domino's, Papa John's).

    I love the fact that there are so many cultures that are embraced by American cooking! Still, to me, American cooking means a thick, char-grilled hamburger with carmelized onions, a homemade buns, and bbq sauce---cooked at an barbeque with friends and family. Not much more American than that! :)

    Thanks for such a great giveaway,
