Quintessential American foods?

Question

Our Junior council is having a Turkey Bowl, with actual American football, and I was wondering what are some cost-efficient quintessential American (and Thanksgiving) foods we could sell. Desserts, beverages (sorry, can't have beer), appetizers - anything goes!

Note:
We live in Shanghai, so no stores or specific product names, as imported foods are too expensive for us to make a profit.

I was pushing for nachos, but there seems to be a problem with keeping foods not on a grill heated, as we'll be selling the foods on next to the field in v. cold weather.
Thanks for the suggestions, though =)

Answer 1

Cornbread/muffins, sweet potato pie, pumpkin pie, apple pie, baked beans, scalloped or mashed white potatoes, stuffing or dressing, green bean casserole, mashed sweet potatoes or squash (butternut is wonderful). Apple cider (nonalchoholic) is a good fall drink. Sparkling grape juice.

Decorative gourds(certain squash for decorating, not eating)

I hope this is helpful.
