Re: Typical food and stereotypes
I guess people think Americans practically live off french fries and hamburgers or more to the point fast food in general. America is really big and the food culture is extremely diverse:
-Southern Food -Texmex -Californian -Chinese -Italian -Every type of food from every continent.

Re: Typical food and stereotypes
Fast food... not everyone where I'm at eats this stuff all the time!
We do eat other foods such as spaghetti, fish and cooked vegetables. ![]()

Re: Typical food and stereotypes
I was raised eating only fast food. I have never seen "Supersize Me" and don't plan on seeing it. I don't eat fast food all the time now, and I know that it is extremely unhealthy. I like Chinese food, Italian food (especially pizza), and a lot of fast foods. I despise anything spicy in the least and seafood. Pizza is my favorite, and lasagna is my second favorite.

It's as cruel as they do with the crab (when you buy it, it's generally alive, and then, you'll have to let it somewhere, but not in water, until you want to eat it, and then , you'll put it in boiling water) or with snails (they put it in cool water so as to make their head going out of their shell because they like it, and at that moment in hot water to kill them...) How cruel humans can be?! By the way, I've eaten frogs and I don't think that's like chicken, but I've also heard that... So, I'm sorry, but if you wanna know how it's like, you should probably taste it yourself... Thank you for answering to that thread, hope I'll get more answers about other countries!

Re: Your country's traditional foods
Where I'm from, foods that are considered traditional are: fried chicken, cornbread, fried okra, mashed potatoes, creamed corn, biscuits (very different from the English kind), turnip greens, milk gravy, fried green tomatoes, and collard greens.
On my mom's side, we have Cajuns (from Louisiana) in the family, so we also eat things like jambalaya, gumbo, crawfish pie, etc. Deserts that are popular in the South (though, they didn't all orriginate here) are: Shoo Fly Pie, Chess Pie, Lemon Ice Box Pie, Key Lime Pie, Lane Cake, Strawberry Shortcake, cheesecake, and bread pudding (which I love). |

Re: Your country's traditional foods
Pepperoni Pizza and fattening alfredo. I think of every American it's different though.

Oh, I love fettucini Alfredo!! It may not be traditional of Alabama, but it's certainly traditional for me -- I have to have it whenever we get Italian.

Re: Your country's traditional foods
Where I live, we have a little bit of everything, but mostly seafood. You know, lobster, clam chowder, haddack, shrimp, pretty much anything from the ocean. I live wicked close to the coast, so that is why.

Re: Your country's traditional foods
I think our traditional food would be a meat pie with sauce or Vegemite toast.

Re: Your country's traditional foods
Living in the midwest of America, our "traditional" or stereotypical foods are stuff like:
Casseroles (a kind of dish where alot of ingerdients are mixed together and baked) Pasta dishes Pizza Meatloaf Mashed potatoes, Green beans, Corn French Fries Grilled Cheese Sub Sandwiches (also known as "hoagies" or "heroes") Hamburgers Poor Boy sandwiches Italian Beef Sandwiches Scrambled eggs Fish Fry's (similar to British fish and chips, I think) Stews/Chilis/Hearty Soups/Goulash and of course, the dreaded "Fast Food" Oh and we call all colas/soft drinks "Pop". ![]() The American midwest is a very "meat and potatoes" kind of place. (Culinarily speaking, lol).

Re: Your country's traditional foods
i think some countries are just unlucky and dont have an instantly recognisable national food. the french get frogs legs and snails and baguettes, italians get pasta, the swiss get cheese and chocolate, scots get haggis, japanese get sushi, indians get curry (although the brits seem to have adopted this with a passion) and the rest of us just have to make do with what weve got.
i reckon here in australia, meat pies and vegemite are the most obvious...but i think beer is a pretty big one too. all those pictures you see of aussies from overseas are fat men in wife-beater-singlets standing around a barbeque with fords and holdens and toyotas in the background and ALL of them have a stubby of VB or Cascade. beer is just a completely australian thing. do you reckon different countries have a stereo typical junk food? like england would be fish and chips, australia would be pies or probably fish and chips too because we all supposedly live within walking distance of a beach. in america can you really get those huge pieces of pizza that are really just tomato, dough and an entire dairy farm's worth of cheese, and the grease is oozing off them? (sorry, im making it sound gross, on tv it looks nice even though theres nothing on it but cheese) i dunno, what does everyone else think about national take away?

Re: Your country's traditional foods
Calling fish and chips 'junk food' is ridiculous. The reason a McDonald's is unhealthy is because it's highly processed food, absolutely full of sugar and salt and other preservatives/unwarranted stuff. Fish and chips, especially traditionally, is made from fresh haddock or cod and from unprocessed potatoes. I've never been in a proper fish and chip shop where everything wasn't made on the premises. Furthermore, I don't know a single fish and chip shop nowadays that doesn't fry in vegetable oil, which isn't unhealthy for you compared with animal fat based products. And as we all know, fish is good for you.
