What is American cuisine anyway?
Can you live on American food alone? American food is so boring. Imagine if there was no Filipino or Japanese or Chinese or Korean or Mexican or Italian or whatever else kine food? Boring!

I suppose truly "American" food would depend on where in the country you live. In your case, being in Hawaii, the food native to your area would be Polynesian, right? In my case, being from New England, the food native to my area would be very different.

@sarabee1995 But foods like Poi or laulau isn’t considered American cuisine.

@SimplyTracie But what is considered American cuisine? Shouldn't it be the cuisine of the people who first occupied these lands?

@sarabee1995 That is my question. What food would you consider an American dish?
Me: Let’s go get Chinese tonight.
You: Nah, let’s eat an American dish instead.

@SimplyTracie Well here in New England it would involve seafood: clams & clam chowder, lobster, cod, etc.
I don't think there is any single food that is "American" because we are such a large country.

@sarabee1995 You may be right. It’s in the preparation I guess. Even sushi, seems like a California Roll would be considered American.

@SimplyTracie Interesting. Despite the name, I would never consider a California roll to be American cuisine, but I suppose if you're from California, then it is. 🤷♀️
I guess I don't think we have one cuisine that is local for all of us. What is local ("American") to a Californian is different from what is local for an Alabaman or a Texan or a Hawaiian.

@sarabee1995 True. Can we agree that hotdogs are as American as possible?

@SimplyTracie Lol, yes! I think we can!
