How to Cook dishes from United States
When many people outside of the country think of US cuisine, they tend to often think of
American fast-foods and fast food brands - hamburgers, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, and so forth.
The
United States however is a very
large nation, with many different diverse regions,
is home to people whose forebears came from all of the world, and thus
has developed a very and varied culinary traditions.
The various regions and cultural groups within the country are known for the differences in ingredients, and culinary
influences.
For example, New England cuisine is known for its seafood (especially
lobsters),
Cajun and Creole cuisine
(mostly eaten in the state of Louisiana)
is known for its adaptations of French cuisine's traditions,
Southwestern cuisine has adopted many ideas from
Mexican cuisine,
Hawaiian cuisine often combines Western and Polynesian traditions
with recipes adapted from
Asian cuisine,
and Puerto Rican cuisine often combines traditions from
Spanish cuisine with ideas from
Caribbean cuisine.
Some popular American recipes and dishes include:
- Chicago-style pizza -
This is very deep-dish
pizza that originates from the city of
Chicago.
- Chili con carne - A spicy stew made from meat (usually beef) and chile peppers.
Some recipes also add other ingredients such as beans, onions, and tomatoes, although

and usually salad, condiments, and often a slice of bacon or ham.

- This is a cream- or milk-based soup, also containing
clams, flour, onions, potato, and bacon or salt pork.
In
New York,
tomatoes are added to the dish ("Manhattan clam chowder"),
whereas in New England adding tomatoes to
New England clam chowder (known in some parts of the
US as
"Boston clam chowder") is considered a serious faux pas.
- Club Sandwich
- A triple bread-toasted sandwich made from three slices
of toast. Three are two layers of toast, one that contains
chicken or turkey breast, and a second containing bacon, lettuce and tomato.
Sometimes the fillings are varied, or other items may be added such as

popular in Hawaii.
