I was just thinking, what is American food? All around me I see chinese food, italian food, indian food, thai, japanese, and so on......even hamburgers and hotdogs originated elsewhere.......
the best I can come up wiht is the chicken sandwich......but who knows who may have made that first.....
I mean you people across the big lake dont' go "eat American" do you?

I'm not sure. We have "outback steakhouse" and they have funny commercials with aussies on it. I've been there to eat, and they got the bloom'n onions and abunch of other foods that are crazy sound'n......so I'm going to say YES, YES we do eat austrailian too! we also have jamaican, I've seen "african delicacies." they have a "taste of south america" too. Even the stuff we make at home is always something else. I think its those dishes that we have to frankenstein together that could be considered american.....
