Is there anything like American national dish?

Answer 1

There is nothing more american than turkey...which is the native bird "par excellence", and is roasted for most of the festive or holiday meals...also corn, on the cob or not (including corn chowder)...and cranberries...These were staples in the indian diets before the white men ever set foot in America!
Also "American as Apple Pie" is a good saying, and true, but pumpkin pie, sweet potato pie, and pecan pie are also "national" desserts..So are brownies, angel food cake and devils food cake.and Georgia peach pie!
Then there are the regional dishes...such as Boston baked beans, New England clam chowder, southern fried chicken (nothing to do with the famous coronel S.), Southwestern BBQ and Texas chili, Creole Gumbo and Jambalaya, the Pennsylvania Dutch recipes like banana bread and pickled eggs, and many more that I don't have in mind right now..
American cooking is excellent and quite varied...and by the way...the hot dog (frankfurter) and hamburger were imported from Germany...and french fries are originally from Belgium and France, even tho' nowadays when people say "American" those are the first things that come to mind. And the presumably typical american sandwich...was invented by the chef of the Earl of Sandwich...in England! (Although the americans have turned sandwich making into an art!)
And what about: catsup or ketchup???...There is presumably nothing more american than this famous tomato sauce...which in reality was imported from China and Indonesia by the chinese immigrant workers who helped build the railroads in the wild west! (The original name was Ketjiap tho' I'm not quite sure of the spelling)..
Another thing typically american is the candy bar...most, if not all, candy bars were created in the USA during the depression years (such as snickers, baby ruth, mars bars, etc...).
And as far as beverages...Coca Cola and all the other soft drinks that followed. Some are not even known outside of North America (such as Dr. Pepper)!

Look up a good cooking website, there are many...here's one I like...

Answer 2

I pretty sure that the modern Hamburger would be considered the American national dish. Along with maybe french fries and like she said Apple Pie

Answer 3

Franks and bean casserole Southern fried chicken Tuna casserole Sliced London broil on toast Corn dogs Philly Steak Sandwich Corn bread Cajun food Cranberries (anything with) Potato chips Popcorn Marshmallow peeps Tex-Mex Velveeta slices (not cheese) Spam Ice Tea Mint Juleps Coke, Pepsi,7-up The only truly American foods were those served before the arrival of the European conquerors Ie Turkey, Corn, Sweet potatoes

Answer 4

Technically, the only popular national dish that is entirely U.S. in origin is Chili (believe it or not). It's not Mexican-it's Texan/New Mexico. Created by Americans for Americans. Uses new world ingredients too.

Apple pie-Dutch; Hamburger or Hot dogs- German; Doughnuts-Dutch; Chop Suey or Chicken Cashew (invented in the US, but by Chinese). Pizza-Italian etc....
Turkey (and potatoes) are new world, but they are not dishes involving a recipe. Just throw them in a fire....

Answer 5

Not sure about the Native American dish but for today's American
is definitely HOT DOG with lotsa mustard. Its everywhere on the streets of USA. Every American has had it (except the born vegetarians and vegans). Even visitors who come to the US,
they notice carts,vans and stalls selling HOT DOG (plus various sauces and fillings to go with).

Answer 6

Hot Dogs

Answer 7

Fried Quayle with garlic chewing gum sauce.
Fresh gum mixed by chicken egg white and garlic oil blend in mayonnaise upon the red roasted bird.
in fact Wrigley's chewing gum is also good , but dissolves at a longer time with egg white.

Answer 8

Given the saying that something is "as American as apple pie", I'd have to hazard a guess at apple pie.

Answer 9

Steak and Baked Potato

Answer 10

Hamburger is the trade mark of America worldwide.
