"American" food

Ok one of you UK folks need to post a recipe for Apple crumb

OOH, challenge.
I challenge someone not from the UK to tell me what this is:

a bridie. meat pastry type sandwhich baked or fried?

I'm in the UK, and I thought it looked like a bridie too!

Texas does it right. Take an American classic like S'mores and deep fry it. Would anyone (American or no) care to take a guess as to what the second picture from the State Fair of Texas is?

Deep fried ravioli?

I like to do that with ricotta, then smother with honey. You don't need a mixing bowl so it's good camping food

What you call a hotdog we would probably call an 'American hotdog', here a hotdog usually refers to a battered sausage on a stick.

I hate apple pie and hot dogs and I've been living in America all my life.

I'm from the US, but I have some friends overseas who didn't know what s'mores were. I think those are a good example of an American treat

America is a whole lot bigger than the United States. And it's a whole lot bigger than North America.

We have Mexican food. Then we have Tex-Mex, Cal-Mex, Flori-Mex, Cuban, Cajun, Southern-Soul food (which derives primarily from Ethiopian cuisine), the foods from the Mid-Atlantic, the New England foods, Carolina barbecue and low country boils, Memphis barbecue with sweet, tangy sauces, Kansas City barbecue with thick, sweet sauces, Texas barbecue with rubs and primarily using beef. We have unique pizzas from NY, Chicago, and California that don't even remotely resemble each other.

And then there's beef. Big, thick, juicy steaks cut on the bone or boneless, cooked on the hottest grills imaginable, and served simply with salt, pepper, maybe a little garlic, a side of green veggies and a baked sweet potato or baked white potato. Believe it or not, that steak comes from Italy, but Americans all over - from Texas to New York - have improved it and made it their own. And we have bison.

If there's one food that is uniquely American, though, it is corn. Roast corn, corn chowder, popcorn, cornbread, masa, corn cakes, corn tortillas, etc. Oh, and avocados. We have avocados. They're from the Caribbean and Central America and have been adopted in cuisines all over the world. In fact, the Americas grow a good bit of the world's produce.

I'm one of those "Americans" who has lived and been all over the world, (was born an expat, and spent a decent amount of my 30s as one). I appreciate what we have available in the United States more than anything. We get greater varieties of everything in the US than anywhere else in the world. Most people really have no idea how spectacular food is here.

It isn't all crappy fast food and boxes of pasta. Mac and cheese is Italian, by the way.

what about

It is a ravioli type pocket but it is Fried Beer. LOL Probably something nasty like Bud Light.

Tex Mex is American!

Dallas has one of the original Tex Mex restaurants, El Fenix. I have heard foreign attempts at Tex Mex (other than in Mexico) are pretty sad and/or gross. Heck, that's probably true north of the Mason Dixon line...
