Of the classic American dishes the one I dislike the most is the meatloaf. Waste of perfectly good ground beef.

Carnival food, like deep fried ALL THE THINGS on a stick, is pretty nasty. American cheese or cheese in a can is an abomination against God. Really, anything masquerading as food that is just an assembly of sugar, salt, fat and chemical preservatives in ready-to-eat packaging I can do without. Apart from that, I'll eat most things.

So what you are saying is that this is pretty much the Antichrist..

Gristle and fat, anything that tastes feels primarily like either or both.

Apple pie without some cheese is a like kiss without a squeeze, try it with cheese.

omg it's actually on the apple pie wiki

An apple pie is a fruit pie (or tart) in which the principal filling ingredient is apple. It is sometimes served with whipped cream or ice cream on top, or alongside cheddar cheese.

daaaaaaaaa fuck. I don't even...see avatar.

Having lived close to 37 years in 'Middle 'Murica I can't say I have *EVER* heard of putting cheese with apple pie.

ok so now I get it. I was expecting someone to pour melted velveeta on top of apple pie. This is just some cheese next to pie. Its commonly done in restaurants to serve a fruit and cheese dish after the main meal. Apple pie and cheese on the side I could understand

I still can't get past the fact there there are people (can't believe it is more than one person), that seem to think that eating mushrooms is an American thing.

where do these people come from, and what happened to them?

Another vote for murrican "cheese". Take a close look at any package of the stuff and you'll see it's actually labelled "cheese product", because they're not even legally allowed to call it cheese. American cheese is cheese in as much as a two dollar pack of hotdogs is meat. Rackum frackum. I avoid a lot of chicken products too for the same reasons, and specifically because of the FDA's recent poultry equivalence deal with China.

Mushrooms are a uniquely American food. So are most of my favorite dishes; fish and chips, enchiladas, duck a l'orange, jagerschnitzel, gravlox, crostone di carpaccio, otoro sashimi, pla tod rad prik... you know, American food.

Actually, I think part of the reason this question is hard to answer is because so much food that's consumed in America is not American in origin; we're a melting pot of cultures, and that includes co-opting delicious cuisine from all over the world. To our credit, we did give them McDonald's. Fair trade.

it depends. not all "American cheese" is created equal.

prepacked, individually wrapped slices of Kraft or Velveeta is going to be your "cheese product."

the big block of cheese behind the deli counter is just going to be labeled as American cheese.

not sure if srs

I know reading past the first sentence of a reply demands a lot of attention, but it can also help one to avoid looking foolish. Although I suppose I really should have put giant bold sarcasm tags around a response where I said that a whole bunch of foreign foods were American. That's my fault for assuming my audience had the necessary reading level to comprehend that referring to "jagerschnitzel" or "pla tod rad prik" as American foods was intended as humorous given that the fact that their very name is in a foreign language demonstrates that they likely didn't originate in America, a predominantly English-speaking country. I apologize for the confusion.

I wouldn't say there is anything "american" I won't eat. There's ingredients that I won't eat. Mushrooms, horrible. I'm definitely not a fan of heated bell peppers, especially idiots that think you can stuff them with shit, bake them, and pass them off is good.

careful. You are about to summon Quebert, who will tell you that the package says: "100% Cheeze" therefore, it is cheeze.

This sounds like the typical "Eat something savory when you eat something sweet." That's not an American thing.

What's American is super sizing that pie and drinking a watered down lager with it.
