What's american food? Pizza, hamburgers, hot dogs,chicken fingers, Macdonalds, burritos, peanut butter,donuts ?

KriSpy kREMES,tex mex food, hot dog buns!! We just got back from snowboarding in Austria and my 11 year old son ate alot of frankfurters no hot dog buns!!!!!

...iced tea, greens & cornbread, fried catfish, pecan pie......can you tell I live in the South?!

Buffalo wings. Clam chowder. Chili. Jumbalaya. Soft shell crabs. Beef stew. Mahi mahi. Apple pie. Key lime pie. Cherry pie. Pineapple upside down cake. Sourdough bread.

If you're really willing to discover the answer, you're in for a treat. May I first refer you to NYC, DC, SF and NO. Lte me know when you return ... I'll have a few questions for you. And peanut butter ... you bet, along with half asia and africa. You've been hanging out in those fast fooders too long. What a question. Ciao

And Jello. Yes, Jello is american food.<BR>

What about chicken fried steak? and Dr. Pepper

What about fruit loops and beer, plus velveeta cheese product? Look, Vince and pj need some break-out ideas, not reinforcement. The stuff they eat is fattening and unhealthy as a steady diet, not to mention totally unimaginative and uninformed. Just about akin to somebody recommending nothing but black clothing, and no plaids, except in NJ. Ciao

Barbeque sandwiches with coleslaw, served with hushuppies, new potatoes, and brunswick stew. <BR><BR>Ice cream in a cone. Thanks to the person who topped the ice cream thread.

What's hushuppies!?

Hush Puppies? They're a nice brand of shoes. Seriously its corn meal that is batter dipped and fried. They go great with catfish.

How about fortune cookies and chop suey

Maple Syrup

Lobstah<BR>Chowdah<BR>Steamahs

Chili.

I agree with hog dogs, hamburgers, peanut butter, and barbeque. Clam Chowder and maple syrup. Jello is a good one! Oh and spongey white bread. (like Wonder Bread)<BR>And any fish that no longer has the capability of staring back at you once fully prepared.<BR>The kind of American Leone must like is that California avacado and sprout stuff!

Potato chips and pretzels. Lebanon bologna. And a steamer around here is kind of a Sloppy Joe.

Yet, Leone, you admitted last week to eating **gasp** PIZZA and a COLA, which qualify in the fast food categories. Get thee off thy high horse. Vince is posting a legit question - what constitutes American food? I say it's both good AND bad food.

Pot roast, mashed potatoes. Hmm that gives me an idea for dinner tonight! Also, cobb salad, chef salad, meatloaf, boiled lobster, hush puppies, BARBECUE!, chicken noodle soup. I'd try to think of more but I'm starving, and this isn't helping!

Peanut butter and jelly. Cheesesteaks, and hoagies, and french fries.Good Burgers and don't forget grilled cheese sandwiches.

Tuna hotdish (casserole). Boston cream pie. Macaroni and cheese. Peanut brittle.

How about a good steak?

And of course, fried chicken! Black-eyed peas. Baked beans. Potato salad.

<BR>Looks like we all watch the History Channel this past weekend.....corned beef and cabbage is truly sn American dish. Hard to find in Ireland. Don't serve corned beef!

While you have regional BBQ, Creole, TexMex, Hawaiian, Floridian (cubian/florida style) and even yummy Amish meats. For the most part the best American Chefs are serving up food from some place else so Leone is not on a high horse just better fed horse.<BR> Since when is Pizza American?

Ferdi's Special Po Boy, Cent Grocery Muffaletta, Fish Tacos at Dukes, Saimin at Hamura's, Cheeseburger Pizza at Gino's East, Cerviche at Brenneke's....<BR>And meatloaf at Moxie's.

P.S MY PERSONAL FAVORITE MARYLAND CRAB CAKES. YUM YUM and YUM

Add to the list:<BR><BR>corn fritters; hash browns; popcorn; the BLT; turkey & dressing; did anyone mention cheesesteak sandwiches?<BR><BR>Later, I've got to go for lunch now!

If you're full yet, get your kids ready for the White House - tours for kids begin February 15. For adults, uncertain. And yes, sprouts and avocado are just the thing to put a spring in your step. All those cheese products, dogs, fried pies (unless peach, of course), and so forth, just clog the system. By the way, ncgirl, I do hope that Brunswick stew is made the correct way - needs to have some chicken and pulled pork in it. I find very few have the right recipe. At its finest, it can be fine indeed. Pizza is not USA - it's international, made differently in every country. I think I'll just stick with my standards on food and wine. Ciao

Oops,<BR><BR>I forgot the veggies--fried okra; black-eyed peas; steamed cabbage with vinegar; turnip greens with chow-chow; green beans seasoned with onion and fatback . . .

Blueberry pancakes, pecan pie, carrot cake, corndogs, crabcake sandwiches, and chicken wings with a Budweiser.

A *big* salad.

Well, I am going to start a diet...

Kool-Aid! My brother and family live in Norway and his kids always want me to send Kool-Aid because they can't get it there.

What's Kool-Aid ?

It's something one never drinks on a religious retreat. Ciao

I would go for mango spiced black tea to be found on the west coast or any sophisiticated coffee shop. This is put out by the republic of teas.

Vince, are you kidding me? You've never heard of Kool-Aid? It's not actually a food, but a drink. But I listed it since other people mentioned iced tea, Dr. Pepper, and beer.

Linda are you kidding the rest of us he is not from U.S. Give us a break on another post he said he would go to Europe for Asian food. Some patience linda

Has anyone mentioned chili? Definitely an American classic. Always best when washed down with an ice cold Bud (Yes, Bud does have its place in the world.)
