American cuisine is difficult to define. Much like the people living there, the foods of the
United States are made up of many different cultures, in all sorts of combinations. There are,
however, many dishes that could now be considered “American,” even if they didn’t
necessarily start out that way. A few other iconic American foods include cheeseburgers,
peanut butter, and jelly sandwiches, s’mores, BBQ ribs, and more.
1. Apple Pie. Apple pie may not have originated in the US – it is believed to have been
brought over by European immigrants – but it has since cemented its place in the
American culinary scene.
2. The cheeseburger started life as a “Hamburger Steak Sandwich,” popularized in the
1890s. When the cheese was first introduced is disputed, but the trademark for
cheeseburgers was awarded to Louis Ballast of Denver, Colorado in 1935. These days
you’ll find a cheeseburger on almost every American food menu.
3. I know what you’re thinking – pizza is Italian! But with Chicago-style, Detroit-style, and
New York-style to name a few. Pizza has become a varied regional American menu
item,
4. Fun to say and fun to eat, Jambalaya is a Cajun and Creole dish from Louisiana. Both
Creole (red) and Cajun (brown) jambalaya start with trinity, which is similar to
mirepoix but with green pepper instead of carrots. Creole turns red with the addition
of tomatoes. Rice is then added to the dish, and the spices can be adjusted to one’s
taste. It’s a great and filling one pot meal.
5. Macaroni and cheese. Pasta and cheese may be nothing new, but chefs have been
putting their own twist on macaroni and cheese since the 1800s, when it appeared in
“The Virginia Housewife.” Whether eaten as a side or as an entrée with meat or
vegetables added, mac and cheese is a favorite across the board, from toddlers to
culinarians.
6. Peanut Butter and Jelly. You could call the peanut butter and jelly sandwich the best
thing since sliced bread – if it wasn’t older than sliced bread itself. While sliced bread
was invented in the 1920s, the first recipe for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich
appeared in the Boston Cooking School Magazine in 1901.
7. We all know buffalo wings to have originated in Buffalo, New York. Although most
sources credit Teresa Belissmo of The Anchor Bar in Buffalo with their invention, what
is undisputed is their impact on the American culinary scene.
8. Hot dog. Originated in Frankfurt, Germany, hot dogs are now considered a distinctly
American food, with each region having their own version. Some of the most notable
are the Chicago dog, with relish, sport peppers, and tomatoes, the Coney dog with
chili, cheese, and onions, and the Southern dog slathered in coleslaw. One bite into a
hot dog conjures up images of Americana, from ball parks to the 4th of July.
9. Barbecue. From sweet, smokey Kansas City, to tangy Carolina and to the dry rubs of
Texas, few things say summer like good American barbecue. Colloquially, barbecue
generally refers to the flavor or the event, but barbecue is actually all about the
method of cooking (hence the variations in regional seasoning).
10. S’mores. A combination of the words “some” and “more,” s’mores are named as such
because after you have one, you always want some more. S’mores were originally a
popular treat with Girl Scouts and known simply as graham cracker sandwiches.
Generally cooked on a skewer over a campfire, s’mores can also be made over coals at
the end of a barbecue or even in the microwave. The s’more flavor has become so
popular you can now find it everywhere from cereals to candy bars.
11. New York-style cheesecake, with its dense, creamy texture, is a blank canvas for
toppings of all kinds and is now a symbol of indulgence and decadence in the dessert
world.
