What's your point!? America is a land that was settled by an number of different peoples, mostly Europeans, but many other Ethnicity's as well!.
Many of your claims about food origin are not true!.

Bread has been made in every culture, since before recorded history, it is not an Italian invention!.

Noddles (Pasta) originate in china, Marco Polo introduced it to the Italians!.

Potatoes are from America, so how can Mashed potatoes be British, or French Fries be Belgian!?

Meat pies are from Britain, not Australia!.

Pizza is American, it was invented in New York by an Italian immigrant!.

The traditional Thanksgiving Dinner is All American, Turkey, mashed potatoes, corn(maize), cranberries, and pumpkin pie!. All of these food stuffs are native to America!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Buffalo wings were created in Buffalo NY!. Cotton candy is not a real food, but I believe it originated in America!.

There may not be a lot of food that originated in America, but there sure has been a lot of food that has become a lot better since it became "Americanized"!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

I never thought about that but since America as known as a "melting pot" I think that all or most of our food comes from other countries and we make our own version of it!. I think it may be something out there that we can call American though!. Just can't think of it!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Grease!?, anything fattening!. Everything is i guess "BORROWED" For example "Tex Mex" is a fat greasy version of the more flavorful mexcican food!. The same would apply to the other rip-offs of food!. Why do you think it is the fattest nation in the world!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Seems to me you already know the answers to your own question!. One thing i will tell you, "Quaker Oates " comes from Chicago, they have a museum there with all it's history!. unless your gonna tell me different, i will wait and see!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

We have about as much food originated here as about as rich as our culture!. Not a whole lot!. I can only think of breakfast cereal and ketchup!. Maybe Cajun food!? When you have a country so deluted, it's hard to call a dish "American"!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

BBQ!. Ok, if you wanted to get technical, bbq comes from the caribbean!. But its a whole diffrent thing than what we got going on up here in the South!.
