How come there is no name for American Food? Yes I mean US American for
you anal retentive types.
We have Mexican, Indian, German, Italian etc. that are considered
specific genres of cuisine. The Anglo Countries sort of get slighted...
I don't see to many headings in the restaurant pages for Canandian food,
American (US) food, or English food.
If I were in Asia and saw a sign for American food I would hope to find
traditional meat and potato dishes, cheese burgers, fried chicken etc.
There is Kentucky fried chicken, NY style Pizza, Texas BBQ, New England
Clam Chowder, etc. Would we consider regional American food un-American
because it was not created in the original 13 colonies? Why must we
argue over what is "real Mexican" food? The borders of Mexico extended
beyond both sides of the Tropic of Cancer way before any of us and our
parents were born, so drawing a line in the sand seems to me, childish.
