USA TYPICAL FOOD

It's a little hard to name a single food "typical", since there are so many different cultures and so many regions within that country.  Their national cuisine is just the agglomeration of everybody else's.

I hate to admit it but Americans eat a lot of fatty foods. Food in the United States is as diverse as the geography and the people that live here. Each region has its particular style of cooking or special dish, and each dish has a history that intertwines with both the geography and people. 

When traveling throught the United States, it is important to remember that just beneath the surface is actually an enormous variety of foods and traditions.

Dinner is considered the main meal of the day, usually served after 5:00 p.m but before 10:30. 

Breakfast and lunch are usually light and/or rushed during weekdays, but during the weekends or special occasions, breakfast can be a much more elaborate meal consisting of cereal, eggs, toast, pancakes, coffee, and/or fruit juice.

Lunch is usually served around noon, and an American lunch menu almost always includes sandwiches, soups, french fries and more.  Full desserts (sometimes called "pudding" elsewhere) are typically only served after dinner, and become more elaborate for special occasions.

BUFFALO BURGER 

Buffalos are similar to cows, but have less fat in their meat.  And comes come from Europe but buffalos are native to America.  Try buffalo burgers and buffalo steaks wherever you can  – they are delicious!

AMERICAN BARBECUEBarbecuing is an American hobby, usually done in the backyard or in parks.  Charcoal barbecues are the best.  We make hamburgers, hotdogs, chicken, kebabs, corn, vegetables and more on the grill – and its so good!

WHITE PIZZAThere are many kinds of pizza.  Usually pizza is made with mozzarella cheese but white pizza is different.  It used ricotta cheese, a whiter, thicker cheese.  You can often find spinach on these pizzas too.  They are really delicious!

CHINESE BEEF AND BROCCOLI

Chinese food in the US is different than Chinese food in Korea or China – but it still tastes great.  There are so many delicious dishes, but my favorite is beef and broccoli.  You can try them all at the thousands of Chinese buffets across the country.  Almost every city has one!

GYROGreek food is amazing, and the most amazing Greek food is the gyro.  It is a sandwich made with pita bread, lamb, tomatoes, onions, and cucumber yogurt sauce.  Try it with a big Greek salad and you’ll be very satisfied.

PRETZELA pretzel is a bready snack.  You can get little hard ones (sold next to chips in the snack aisle) or big soft ones.  The big soft ones are the best.  Go to any mall and look for the pretzel store Aunt Annie’s.

BOILED PEANUTSThese are peanuts that are boiled for at least 8 hours in different spices like soy sauce or chili sauce.  They are delicious and soft – you can even eat the shell.  But, you can only buy them in the South (Florida, Georgia, etc.) and usually only on the side of the road.

ROOT BEER FLOATSThere is a world of soft drinks beyond cider and cola.  There is Coke, Pepsi, Sprite, Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper, Club Soda, Ginger Ale, and Root Beer.  Root Beer is one of my favorites.  A root beer float is made with root beer and ice cream.!

BLUEBERRY PIEApple pie, peach pie, cherry pie – they are all delicious, but the best is blueberry pie.
