I am Pakistani american and grew up eating desi food at home until we were teens when my mom started experimenting and cooking foods from all over like most americans. look up recipes for hot dish and tuna noodle casserole, biscuits and gravy etc. id also add in Frito pie, enchiladas, hard shell tacos with ground beef (gringo tacos). Root beer float is also a good one.

Yes! Get the Old El Paso hardshell taco kit with the seasoning and salsa packets. Make sure you melt some cheese into the meat and serve with chopped iceberg lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and sour cream. Of all the meals on standard rotation in my 70s household, this was my favorite, and it’s a hit with my family still, as are the pigs in blankets with Pillsbury crescent rolls and lil’ smokies.

Did anyone else mention fluffernutter sandwiches?
Are baked potatoes with butter, bacon bits or actual pieces, sour cream, and chopped scallions popular in other countries?
We also may have different breakfast cereals.

Have some pride. He chose to come here so he shouldn't be mocking everything. It would be extremely rude in any country.

Yes, I suspect this, and I don't want to participate. It's like tiktok has taught the outside world everyday americans eat like they're at a county fair, that's why they're all so fat. But I figure it is my duty i signed up for to show him the "real" america, too. So while I am not really going to deviate from how I cook typically, I'm happy to include a few more squarely american dishes into rotation for a chance to be like hey what you see online is fake click bait so you can laugh at americans; this is real.

But honestly, besides BBQ/cornbread and the desserts (which he doesn't eat) most of this stuff listed here is not at all in my go-to list of foods because I, personally, don't find it to be as appealing as other stuff I make, which is why I am here asking others' insight.
