102 Examples Of Delicious And Mouthwatering American Food

"I'm Italian.

I still dream of the meat I've eaten in the USA.

Also, Mexican food. By that, I mean whatever it is you guys eat in California.

Also, junk food.

Also, I might have had the two best cakes of my life in the US. One was a carrot cake at a wedding, another one was a burnt-almond cake.

Also, everything that comes with Thanksgiving: the turkey, the mashed potatoes, the deviled eggs.

Also, apple pie.

Also, I forgot the most important thing!! IN N' OUT BURGERS.

Also, the breakfast. I loved having that giant ass food plated and infinite coffee refills.

Also, donuts from the local Chinese mom-and-pop store down the road.

Also, bagels.

I edited this post and will continue if more stuff comes to mind. The US doesn't get enough credit for food, especially by Italians."

"I hate to sound like an ignorant foreigner but a made from scratch Mac & Cheese with at least 3 different cheeses plus a crispy breadcrumb crust on top is one of my favorite American dishes."

"I saw this post and have been waiting for my non-American husband to come home. I asked him this question and fully expected him to say brisket or BBQ ribs. He straight up said, Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I'm embarrassed."

"Oh, this is easy!

My friend came to the UK and said she would make us Thanksgiving dinner. As they were cooking it, it sounded like the most vile thing in the world.

A pound of butter in the gravy? Marshmallow on sweet potatoe? Stuffing made with more butter, toasted cheap bread and cashews? And then this wierd 'casorole' made with tinned mushroom soup and green beans?!? Absolute madness, the kind of stuff a drunk or a child would concoct.

I think if the creamed potatoes were replaced with roast potatoes, it could easily rival a British roast dinner.

Anyway, needless to say, it was the most beautiful thing in the world. The turkey was juicy and slipped off the bone, the buttery gravy I could drink a pint of, and all the sides just had the best texture and flavor.

I've traveled a lot and been to a lot of fancy restaurants, but not much tops that meal."

"I took my German uncle to Waffle House when he visited, I swear that man ordered every item on the menu. Out of all the restaurants we went to, WH is the only one he still talks about."

"Pecan Pie."

"Peanut butter and jelly sandwich, at first I thought it was a disgusting combo, but when I tried I loved it."

"So I’m a European dating an American.

I’ve tried many things so far but SMORES MAN it’s perfection."

"I went on holiday to New York and had some amazing food - I had Mac and cheese, collard greens with pork, cornbread and I think mashed potato one time and I had some kind of religious, transcendent experience. This was at pies n thighs in Williamsburg FYI. My partner had chicken and waffles, the chicken tasted like it was fried in the ass fat of angels. Other great stuff is pizza from this place called sal's or something in Brooklyn, although I liked those 99-cent slices that are everywhere too. Cornbread is amazing and I make it myself sometimes, I also had biscuits which are dope too."

"I'm from Mexico and we get spoiled with our traditional cuisine but I found the thanksgiving dinner experience in the US incredible. Love everything, the turkey (dark meat :) ), cranberry sauce, the stuffing (oh the stuffing), mashed potatoes, salads and the delicious pays that follow for dessert. That whole combination plus the red wine and good company is an incredible experience hard to match."

"Grilled cheese sandwich with American cheese. Moved here as a kid and thought the cheeses and the butter were pretty meh/lacking compared to my home country. Especially American cheese because it has a weird plasticky texture. But an American grilled cheese sandwich?? With some regular ass basic butter? Chefs kiss. I don’t get it. But I couldn’t get enough of it. Still can’t some 30 years later. It’s simple, greasy, buttery, just perfection."

"I wanna thank ya'll for bbq and fried chicken."

"Those potatoes with cheese in it you make for Thanksgiving. I mean the double-baked one, but the funeral potatoes I have to try them now."

"As a Ukrainian in USA brisket and peach pie are my favorite!"

"For me it's cinnamon rolls. The closest we get here without making them at home is the ones at ikea and they're nothing like american cinnamon rolls."

"Clam Chowder (New England style, not the New York abomination)."

"From a Scottish friend of mine: chicken-fried steak with biscuits and gravy."

"Oddly enough, no one seems to have mentioned it… but cornbread. Yeah, as a guy who moved here, Americans have got cornbread down to a T. Combined with some soul food? Makes me smile on the inside. Gives me high blood pressure, but smile on the inside too."

"Waiting for someone to say some real Vermont maple syrup because I live here."

"Are you telling me it's not a general procedure in other countries to take a rack of ribs, grill that with a nice rub, cover it in sugar sauce, then face the entire thing until you get so dehydrated from the salt content that it gives you weird meat dreams?"
