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...

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.

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

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?

I have been coerced in a feminine tone ( nagged ) into mentioning mid west cuisine, green bean stew from IN.
