Foodie Favourites: USA

United States

Food is more than just a meal. The reason for this is that dishes play a primary role in defining the culture of a country. In this list of Foodie Favourites, we share inspiration about the food in the United States.

The United States

This time, Foodie Favourites will focus on the United States. The United States has several popular dishes, so if you're looking for inspiration for your food in the US, read along here.

You may already know some of them, but we're sure there'll be a dish or two you're guaranteed to like.

Mac and Cheese

Macaroni and Cheese, aka. Mac and Cheese are perhaps best known for the large amount of cheese that the dish contains. You can even make the meal with different types of cheese. We recommend making a good mix of various cheeses so that the meal will taste A LOT like cheese.

If you want to take the dish to the next step, you can add ham or vegetables to the meal. Adding this, in particular, does not make the meal any worse - we promise!

Apple Pie

Apple pie may not be as American as "American as apple pie" makes it sound. The reason for this is because neither the pie nor the apple comes from the United States. However, this does not exclude the dish from this list.

 

It is possible to make the apple pie with all kinds of apples; this has sparked a neverending debate on which apple is the best for an apple pie. We won't enter that debate but will leave finding a favorite type up to you.

Hamburger

Hamburger is perhaps the best-known dish on this list. Hamburger is known worldwide - and for a good reason!

 

The hamburger comes in thousands of different variants, and it will be up to the individual which kind he likes best. Choosing a burger doesn't necessarily become a problem when you can pick and choose between the ingredients and build the burger just like you want it.

 

In combination with burgers available in many sizes, this dish can be the perfect choice for children.

S'mores

S'mores is perhaps one of the simplest desserts that you can make. It's a marshmallow with chocolate sandwiched between 2 pieces of graham crackers - and that's it! However, this has no bearing on how delicious S'mores taste, which is why we also think that everyone should try them.

So, if you would like a sweet, warm, and melty dessert, this is probably the right choice for you.

Hash Browns

Last but not least, we have Hash Browns on the list of Foodie Favourites.

 

Hash Browns are a popular dish for breakfast in America and have been so for more than 100 years now. Hash Browns originally consisted only of potatoes, but some states have started adding chili, garlic, and other vegetables in recent times. Adding this will make the Hash Browns spicier but does not spoil the taste of the sweet potatoes.

Worth mentioning

We would never finish if we were supposed to make a list of all dishes in the United States that taste good. That is why we have had to shorten the list. Quality must still be the same, so we are adding some dishes that are worth mentioning.

 

Below you will find some dishes that didn't make it to the list above but are too important to miss out on:

  • Breakfast Sausages
  • Hotdogs
  • Fried Chicken
  • Cheesecake
  • Pancakes
  • Chop Suey
  • Surf and Turf

We wish you good luck with the food experience and Bon appetite!
