Try pizza or a hamburger and some hotdogs and chips. Try some coca cola too! French fries too. anything that is greasy will do for american food. lol. Pizza Well i am sure you know but get some dough roll it flat and put some tomato sauce on it with motzarella cheese and peperoni and what ever else you like for toppings. for the hamburger get some beef make a patty fry it and put it on a bun with ketchup tomato lettuce onion. Hotdogs are pretty easy. Chips you can buy in a bag i am sure and the coke too. for French fries get a potato skin it and then slize it in to long thin rectangles then throw them in to hot cooking oil until they are done. You can also do a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or a Bacon lettuce sandwich too.

Hmm, interesting. How about southern US cooking. Like jambalaya, grits, collard greens, creole anything? Or California uses avocado in about any sandwich or meal. Texas and Kansas it's BBQ ribs and there are many kinds of dry rubs and mops. For the midwest it's all steak and baked potatoes and corn on the cob with tons of butter. Kentucky has a special regional dish called Hot Browns. I can't describe that one without looking it up again. Hope this helps!

Our "American cuisine" consists of a variety of things, because we are a country with many people from many countries! Living here my whole life, it is unfortunate to say most eat a lot of unhealthy foods. Fatty, fast food, etc. Thanksgiving is a holiday we have remembering our founders. They cooked turkey and bread stuffing, mashed potatoes, a vegetable, pies...things of that nature. It varies from each family and each part of the USA.

Southern Fried Chicken Recipe courtesy Paula Deen Show: Food Network Specials Episode: Paula's Cooking Class House Seasoning: 1 cup salt 1/4 cup black pepper 1/4 cup garlic powder Southern Fried Chicken: 4 eggs 1/3 cup water 1 cup hot red pepper sauce 2 cups self-rising flour 1 teaspoon pepper House Seasoning 2 1/2-pound chicken, cut into pieces Oil, for frying, preferably peanut oil To make the House Seasoning, mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months. In a medium size bowl, beat the eggs with the water. Add enough hot sauce so the egg mixture is bright orange. In another bowl, combine the flour and pepper. Season the chicken with the House Seasoning. Dip the seasoned chicken in the egg, and then coat well in the flour mixture. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a deep pot. Do not fill the pot more than 1/2 full with oil. Fry the chicken in the oil until brown and crisp. Dark meat takes longer than white meat. It should take dark meat about 13 to 14 minutes, white meat around 8 to 10 minutes serve with mashed potatoes and country gravy, green beans and for dessert apple pie. http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_31775,00.html?rsrc=search or choose any of these recipes from country kitchen http://www.acplace.com/#recipebox

Well, I can recommend one dish for you that is local to my area. I grew up in Beaufort County, South Carolina where there is a popular dish among locals known as Frogmore Stew. It isn't very widely known in the US, in fact if you go as far north as North Carolina, people haven't heard of it. And NO, there isn't any frog in it as most American tourists from other states ask when they hear it mentioned. Frogmore refers to a place in the area. It mostly contains sausage, corn and potatoes. It's pretty tasty, if you like stew. You would serve it with a side of cornbread, a popular menu item across the US South. Here's a link to the recipe as well as some other Lowcountry recipes: http://www.co.beaufort.sc.us/bftlib/frogmore.htm#Stew Hope this helps! I just thought of something else. If the stew doesn't sound good, you could make any number of Cajun dishes from New Orleans. I love food from there because it's usually spicy. Jambalaya is a good one: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/easy-cajun-jambalaya/detail.aspx

Here a two recipes for you to make: Chicken Fried Steak I "Breaded and deep fried beef cutlets are known as chicken fried steak because of the similarity in cooking method to fried chicken. This is a family recipe that we have used for years. Vegetable oil may be used in place of shortening for frying." Original recipe yield: 4 servings PREP TIME 15 Min COOK TIME 30 Min READY IN 45 Min INGREDIENTS 1 pound boneless beef top loin 2 cups shortening 1 egg, beaten 1 cup buttermilk salt and pepper to taste 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 quart milk salt and pepper to taste DIRECTIONS Cut top loin crosswise into 4 (4 ounce) cutlets. Using a glancing motion, pound each cutlet thinly with a moistened mallet or the side of a cleaver. In a large, heavy skillet, heat 1/2 inch shortening to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). While the shortening is heating, prepare cutlets. In a shallow bowl, beat together egg, buttermilk, salt and pepper. In another shallow dish, mix together garlic powder and 1cup flour. Dip cutlets in flour, turning to evenly coat both sides. Dip in egg mixture, coating both sides, then in flour mixture once again. Place cutlets in heated shortening. Cook until golden brown, turning once. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining cutlets. Drain grease, reserving 1/2 cup. Using the reserved drippings in the pan, prepare gravy over medium heat. Blend in 1/4 cup flour to form a paste. Gradually add milk to desired consistency, stirring constantly. For a thicker gravy add less milk; for a thinner gravy stir in more. Heat through, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve over chicken fried steak. -----DESSERT----- "Apple Pie" 1st Prize Winner .
