Business Description
American cuisine is the cooking style and traditional dishes prepared in the United States. It has been significantly influenced by European, indigenous Native Americans, African Americans, Asians, Pacific Islanders, and many other cultures and traditions. Principal influences on American cuisine are Native American, British, French, German, and Spanish cuisines.[2]Whilst some of American cuisine is fusion cuisine, many regions in America have a specific regional cuisine. Each are deeply rooted in ethnic heritages, for example Cajun, Louisiana Creole, Native American, New England Algonquian, New Mexican, Pennsylvania Dutch, Soul food, Texan/Tex-Mex, Southern, and Tlingit.
American cuisine saw significant expansion during the 19th and 20th centuries, primarily due to the influx of immigrants from different nations. Such has allowed for the current rich diversity in food dishes throughout the country
So “What is American food?” It might best be described as a collection of different kinds of food that originated from other parts of the world, but that has been adapted. As American culture is made up of a wide variety of individual, original cultures, American food is made up of a wide variety of dishes that come from those cultures. For example, restaurants featuring Mexican, Italian, and Chinese cuisine are very common in the U.S., even in small towns. It is important to understand that although these kinds of cuisines are called Mexican, Italian, Chinese, etc., the flavors, ingredients, and kinds of dishes may be quite different from what is found in Mexico, Italy, or China.
All in all, while there are a lot of fast-food restaurants in the U.S., and Americans eat a lot of fast-food, it is incorrect to think of American food as being only something that comes from McDonald’s or Pizza Hut. Just as the English language has borrowed words from many different languages and cultures, American food has borrowed from the great and wonderful flavors of the world, adapted them, and created unique dishes which can only be described as one thing: American food.
