Here we go:
Steak and baked potato
berry pies
Maryland blue crabs
Crab cakes
Pork ribs ( I mean, come on, that is so good; other countries with great BBQs are making it; it is not just any BBQ; it has to be specified, BCS hotdogs can be BBQ but are nasty)
Cor on the cob (not uniquely American, but what is uniquely just any country?)
Lobster
Devil's food cake
Angel food cake
All variations of choc chip cookies (including my fav, macadamia cookies)
Banana cake with walnuts
Pecan pie
Chinese broccoli and meat ( I think we can agree this is an American dish and not Chinese)
Pancakes
Fried chicken
Salads, so many salads!

Salad dressing is not a dish, but while I do love olive oil, salt on me, tomatoes, and plain salads, I love so many American salads. American salads are above and beyond other salads.


I am European, me dears. You will find no snobbish statements from me about American food. Most American dishes are great, including baked pasta dishes. I will not eat slush, though! I have no idea how DH's grandma came up with it or what the original recipe was like, but dang, the way she made it was not tasty.

lol. No you aren’t.

No, every modern cuisine in the world , came from somewhere and someone else. French, Italian, Mexican, Indian, Chinese, Korean etc were all influenced over time by conquest, occupation, immigration and trade. It is just as hard to identify French dishes under strict criteria that components or techniques didn’t originate elsewhere as it is for American food.

Just as there are variations between regions within nations, there can be modern variations between nations. American Apple Pie is different from a British Mincemeat Pie. An iconic American hot dog is different from an iconic German sausage in a bun or a Polish sausage in a bun in
Poland.
