Honestly, I think I could better describe almost any cuisine - Italian, Chinese, Spanish, Greek, Mexican, Japanese, Indian, Caribbean... you get the idea. I never really have a good response when asked about American. I refuse to say hamburgers and hot dogs or any of the other cliche stereotypes that other countries have of our eating habits. So this is a cry for help, does anyone have a good answer to this question?
What IS American food?!?
I think you could almost break it down by city. For example:
ReplyDeleteChicago - pizza, hot dog, roast beef sandwich, etc.
New Orleans, gumbo, etouffee, crawfish, etc.
right?
we probably invented bar b que ribs (and bar b que in general), so we win obviously.
