The US's Contribution to Cuisine?
I'd like to pose a question-
what do you think has been the US/an American's greatest contribution to cuisine? I'm referring to a dish or original ingredient that is American. I can't think of anything myself but there's got to be something... NC Penguin |

Originally posted by Patrick Pizza You're joking, aren't you! Buffalo wings Philli cheese steak Not an original dish. Haven't eaten this but isn't this cheese and minute steak in a roll? Donuts Quite possibly American. Are you a Krispy Kreme man? Hamburger in a bun Again, I think this isn't an original dish/meal. Patrick NC Penguin |

Originally posted by NC Penguin If I read your post quickly, it looks like you're suggesting you're an American dish. Heheh :) NC Penguin Hamburgers are originally from Hamburg in Germany but it was the americans who put them in a bun and made them the fast food they are today! What about Clam Chowder |
Hamburgers- hotdogs-pizza, check this one out.

The ultimate in American cuisine must be the dodger dog from what I am told.

Actually most American dishes seem to be designed around watching tv or sports, pure convinience foods. Seems that originally McDonalds would hire spotty oik male students to staff their resteraunts, as beautiful young girls would attract males and that was not the deired image for a family resteraunt.

Lots of original Mexican food. Not US (although many parts of the US were once part of Mexico) but still North America....
I have suspicion that doughnuts were invented by Austrian bakers in Holland. Apparently popcorn was invented by the Native American Indians? My husband also claims that blueberries were imported from the New World as was maize. |
Oh - and peanuts were fed to swine and deemed unfit for human consumption until the Civil War.
I think Booker T. Washington invented peanut butter? |
What about pumpkins? Aren't they produce introduced from the New World?
Yams? Turkeys? |
I have been coerced in a feminine tone ( nagged ) into mentioning mid west cuisine, green bean stew from IN.

Tex Mex. But thats a bastardised version of Mexican food. Very nice though.
