Does anyone else find it funny that what people see as "American" foods (hot dogs, hamburgers, etc.) never originated in the States? (Also: What are some real American foods? Foods that started in the US)

One American - originated food is Navajo tacos: fry bread with seasoned meat (mutton, pork, or beef), chile and cheese.

I don't find it funny, with all the different cultures in this country, it's no surprise that some things are called "American"

Chop Suey originated in the US.

Yeah, it is a bit odd. I think we invented corn dogs. :p

Pemmican ... started being made in what is now the U.S.A. America is now a blend of most of the world's cultures and their foods.

Oh , you got me good - LOL What about Chicken and Dumplings Fried Cornbread + 5

Well, I believe that corn originated in the Americas... Pumpkins are native to the western hemisphere, as are most varieties of wild rice. I think Maple Syrup is unique to N. America. and I'm guessing that many creole recipes originated in New Orleans - albeit they were fusions of foods brought from other countries. I think buffalo is unique to US.
