What is an original American food?!
Answers: Something that Americans came up with, and no junk food please. Real food or desserts only.
For some reason "grits" came to mind when I read your question. Grits has to be an original American food but I am not sure.
Fast food. Seriously. Everything else came from another culture.
pizza and chocolate. those are the most popular and most all american foods.
Buffalo meat burgers.
fried chicken, mashed potatoes and greenbeans!
pumpkin pie and hot dogs
Steaks !!!!
The ice cream cone - not the ice cream, just the waffle cone.
Corn on the cob.
Popcorn, chuckwagon (beans and hot dogs), American cheese, city chicken, tuna casserole, Philly steak sandwich.
Thats a good question. I have wondered that myself. I have heard cheeseburgers refered to being the "all american cheeseburger".
Pot roast, baked turkey, meatloaf, and deep-fried Snickers bars with ice cream on top.
I'm not sure if hot dogs came from here... probably not... but I'm pretty sure popcorn did!
How about a Cobb Salad? In 1937, Brown Derby owner Robert H. Cobb went into the restaurant's kitchen to fix a late night snack for Sid Grauman, operator of the Chinese Theater of the same name. He combed the refrigerator for what ingredients he could find and chopped them up finely because Grauman was suffering from a terrible toothache. Thus, the Cobb salad was born. From then on, Grauman would always request that a Cobb salad be prepared for him. The news about this wonderful creation spread quickly throughout Hollywood making it an instant hit, therefore it was added to the menu.
Hamburgers. Hot Dogs.
