    Hmmmmmmmmm; for Americans, would that be hamburgers, hot dogs, and potato salad? Yup, most certainly have. Baked beans, too.

    Wikipedia helped answer my question about Canada's...
    National food

    Common contenders as the Canadian national food include:
    Butter tarts[9][10]
    Kraft Dinner[11]
    Poutine[12][13][14][15]

    According to an informal survey by the Globe and Mail conducted through Facebook from collected comment, users considered the following to be the Canadian National dish, with Maple syrup likely above all the other foods if it was considered:[15]
    51% Poutine
    14% Montreal-style bagels
    11% Salmon Jerky (dried smoked salmon)
    10% Pierogi
    7% Ketchup chips
    4% Nova Scotian Donair
    1% California roll

    Kraft Dinner.. really?! But Poutine.. mmmmm :D

    i wasnt sure what our national dish is.. so i googled...
    "Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding, England

    Despite England’s increasingly cosmopolitan cuisine, this dish remains a much-loved Sunday lunch and national symbol. Named for England’s eponymous county, Yorkshire—or batter—puddings originally served as fillers before the main course for those who could afford little beef. Today, the two are usually eaten together alongside gravy-soaked roast potatoes, vegetables, and horseradish sauce. "

    then... ish... i mean i have yorkshire puddings sometimes... i have roasts for Sunday lunch.. only of the chicken variety though so i guess i kinda do..

    I do drink a lot of tea though and im sure thats got to count :D!

    Oh, and being born in Alabama - grits! Plenty of grits. I don't like the white kind anymore, though; I like whole corn grits, which is closely associated with polenta, which I think is Italian.

    I thought the national dish of us Americans was something you just get from the drive-thru??

    I'm of French, German and Polish descent, but I don't really consider them my nation, so I guess the answer is no.

    Forgot to add I love me some Southern food, American.

    There are some great foods I have eaten since I went to the south, see I grew up eating alot of home cooked spanish food, And I met my husband and was introduced to so many good dishes. Making chicken and dumplings right now. Dont know if thats American

    Irish-Corned Beef (no cabbage, bf doesn't like it) sometimes
    German-brats and beer...more often than Corned beef
    American-Hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken and waffles are my guilty pleasures and ones I indulge in when I'm running alot :-)

    Middle of nowhere America-Venison and Elk. Nom nom nom only when I'm at my parents :(
