What do you consider to be American Food?

If someone was to ask me what food is from the good, old USA, I’d probably have to think for a while before coming up with any decent answers. I’d probably then say burgers, hot dogs, fast food and have to think about it some more!

When  Buzzfeed came up with a list to check off “How Many Of These American Foods Have You Eaten“, I was definitely curious to see what kind of dishes made the list. I was also curious to find out how many I’ve tried.

Here are some foods that Buzzfeed would consider “American”:

• Grits
• Bologna Sandwich
• Biscuits & gravy
• Chicken & waffles
• Grilled Cheese
• Deep-Fried Oreos
• Twinkies
• Bacon cheeseburger
• Hot Dogs
• Buffalo Wings
• Mac & cheese
• many more!

What I noticed was that lots of foods on the list were Southern (or BBQ) as well as plenty of junk/ snacks.

I’d consider myself a Junk Foodie so American food is definitely right up my alley! Let’s see how I did.

I wasn’t surprised to see that I’ve tried a majority of Buzzfeed’s American food list. I’ve tried 80 of 118 items which makes me “a true American foodie“!
