American themed buffet food?

Question

At work on Wednesday we are having an American themed buffet (it's an Olympics thing) and we're struggling to come up with ideas for food - it needs to be food that can be eaten cold, ideally sort of a finger buffet. Any ideas? xx

Answer 1

Straight away I'd think of hot dogs, burgers and fries but they can't be served cold.

You could do Kentucky fried chicken served cold, along with apple pie, bagels with various toppings, then there's pumpkin pie. You could make something that includes maple syrup - that's American isn't it? Also there's muffins. There seems to be more sweet things I can think of rather than savoury. What about turkey meat? It was the Americans who started eating it before  the Brits at Christmas.

Hope that helps.
