American Food

The U.S. is famous with the development of fast food restaurant. People can realize that KFC, Burger King, Mac Donal's or Pizza Hut are appreared in everywhere they go. Therefore, people can definitely state that fast food is American food. Although the Americans were not the father of hamburgers or pizza, the U.S is the only one place that makes them flourish and be famous around the world.
Otherwise, fast food could not be determined as the only traditional American food. The settler of the U.S came from around the world, they brought with them their own cultures and their own traditional food. Therefore the tradition of American food is the diversity. After a longtime, these foods are changed to fit the taste of the big part of American population who came from different countries. The American cuisine is really typical. For example, American seafood is totally different in how it is prepared. We cannot find exactly the same dishes in any other restaurant in the rest part of the world unless it was an American restaurant.
As the U.S is the big country, American traditional food can be varied by regions. For example, when people talk about crawfish, it can remind them Louisana eventhough there are crawfish restaurants everywhere. In addition, when we look at the menu of pizza, there is often one kind on which they put some pineapple piece and they call Hawaiian style.
All in all, it is really hard to say what is the American food not because they don't have any but because there are a lot of different dishes. Otherwise, turkey and potatoes can be also considered American food since they cannot be missed in the American dinner at the Thanksgiving.
