2. It'sa little hard to name a single food
"typical", since there are so many different
cultures and so many regions within that
country. Their national cuisine is just the
agglomeration of everybody else's.
I hate to admit it but Americans eat a lot of
fatty foods. Food in the United States is as
diverse as the geography and the people that
live here. Each region has its particular style
of cooking or special dish, and each dish has a
history that intertwines with both the
geography and people.
When traveling throught the United States, it
is important to remember that just beneath
the surface is actually an enormous variety of
foods and traditions.
3. Dinner is considered the main meal of the
day, usually served after 5:00 p.m but before
10:30.
Breakfast and lunch are usually light and/or
rushed during weekdays, but during the
weekends or special occasions, breakfast can be
a much more elaborate meal consisting of
cereal, eggs, toast, pancakes, coffee, and/or
fruit juice.
Lunch is usually served around noon, and an
American lunch menu almost always includes
sandwiches, soups, french fries and more. Full
desserts (sometimes called "pudding" elsewhere)
are typically only served after dinner, and
become more elaborate for special occasions.
4. Buffalos are similar to
cows, but have less fat in
their meat. And comes
come from Europe but
buffalos are native to
America. Try buffalo
burgers and buffalo
steaks wherever you
can – they are delicious!
5. Barbecuing is an
American
hobby, usually done in
the backyard or in
parks. Charcoal
barbecues are the
best. We make
hamburgers, hotdogs,
chicken, kebabs, corn
, vegetables and more
on the grill – and its
so good!
6. There are many kinds
of pizza. Usually
pizza is made with
mozzarella cheese but
white pizza is
different. It used
ricotta cheese, a
whiter, thicker
cheese. You can
often find spinach on
these pizzas
too. They are really
delicious!
7. Chinese food in the US
is different than
Chinese food in Korea
or China – but it still
tastes great. There are
so many delicious
dishes, but my favorite
is beef and
broccoli. You can try
them all at the
thousands of Chinese
buffets across the
country. Almost every
city has one!
8. Greek food is
amazing, and the
most amazing Greek
food is the gyro. It is
a sandwich made with
pita
bread, lamb, tomatoe
s, onions, and
cucumber yogurt
sauce. Try it with a
big Greek salad and
you’ll be very
satisfied.
9. A pretzel is a bready
snack. You can get
little hard ones (sold
next to chips in the
snack aisle) or big
soft ones. The big
soft ones are the
best. Go to any
mall and look for
the pretzel store
Aunt Annie’s.
10. These are peanuts that
are boiled for at least 8
hours in different spices
like soy sauce or chili
sauce. They are
delicious and soft – you
can even eat the
shell. But, you can only
buy them in the South
(Florida, Georgia, etc.)
and usually only on the
side of the road.
11. There is a world of
soft drinks beyond
cider and cola. There
is Coke, Pepsi, Sprite,
Mountain Dew, Dr.
Pepper, Club Soda,
Ginger Ale, and Root
Beer. Root Beer is
one of my
favorites. A root beer
float is made with
root beer and ice
cream.!
12. Apple pie, peach
pie, cherry pie –
they are all
delicious, but the
best is blueberry
pie.
