Answer 2

Junk Food

Answer 3

cheeseburger definetly

Answer 4

I would have to say... the Hamburger.  You can find one of some capacity on just about every menu in the US.

Answer 5

I say America has no national dish. Most American foods have came from another country and have been modified to fit the taste buds of most Americans. Most ppol say the Hamburger is the national dish, but it originated in Hamburg, Germany. So America has no national food.

Answer 6

Burgers

Answer 7

the old saying is as American as apple pie, so I would guess that, but from the way we eat I would tend to think more people would say pizza or burgers and fries

Answer 8

Bar-b-Que, Burgers, hot dogs, with apple pie and iced tea. (or beer if you are of age)

Answer 9

nothin is more american than hot dogs mac n cheese, apple pie and ice cream....

maybe some french fries(i mean freedom fries)

Answer 10

Hmm, I'd have to agree with everyone else here. Burgers and fries. And ice cream, like milkshakes and malts.

But then again, all-american food could pretty much be any food with an American city's name in it, i.e. the Philly Cheesesteak,  Boston Cream Pie, New England Clam Chowder.

And even though nobody really thinks about this, and it's not really a "dish", Americans consume a LOT of chocolate.

Answer 11

Hey...if it weren't for America you'd be eating German food full time.

Answer 12

Cheeseburgers, Hot Dogs, & Bagels

Also: New England Clam Chowder, Mac & Cheese, Boston Cream Pie, New York Strip Steak, Philly Cheese Steak,

Answer 13

I live in the US and I'm totally obsessed with the UK. :)

Apple pie is very American... but I think of a national dish as being what immediately comes to mind when you're thinking of a country's cuisine. Like I would say Scotland's national dish was haggis, Russia reminds me of borscht, and Britain makes me think of shepard's pie or the "traditional English breakfast".  It's all rather a kind of stereotype, really.

I would have to say the hamburger/cheeseburger is definately the stereotype of America... at least it was where I lived overseas. And the all the new MacDonalds restaurants across the globe don't really do anything to change that image. :)

So if you're obsessed with the good ole' USA you'd jolly well better learn to enjoy a good cheeseburger. :)

Answer 14

i would say roast chicken and potatoes. esp on sunday

Answer 15

Cheeseburger and fries (chips to you).  So many restaurants sell this, and many specialize in it.

(BTW, love your fish and chips!  Many restaurants here sell fried fish with fries here, but it does not taste the same!)

Answer 16

Burgers, fries, apple pie!

Answer 17

If the Red Indians still exist, "Terminated by immigrants to America" Then, They would tell you.

The concept of "traditional dish" does not apply for This collection of ethnic groups (As the case of USA), Every group has it's own Traditional dish.

Answer 18

The burger I should think - it's a snack, a meal... served in a variety of ways from Hard Rock's humongous cover-the-plate proportion to the familiar Macs even trendy haute cuisine "Gucci burger" (downsized version with wagyu beef, truffles, brie cheese et al). Can't see all these happening to "hot-dogs" although they are hard-to-beat sometimes.

Answer 19

Well, hamburgers, chowders, Mac and cheese, that sort of stuff.

Any type of roast is 100% British.

And most pies including Apple pie is infact British.

Americans eat German food a lot, frankfreuters, (hot dog)... derived from Germany.
