Spam me with american food
 

Ok Im bored. I need some new stuff tv dinners are getting boring :winkwink:

So gimme some great US food recipes I can try

hamburgers

Nathans hotdogs

youre the best

any idea why hamburgers are called hamburgers? Lemme give you a hint - theres a city with the same name :)

that the one in NY? Saw a doc bout that

Our hotdogs are weird basically all eurostyle hotdogs are weird cooked sausages no taste

we got that too on every corner yes, I even flipped their long ago. They look like shit irl I agree.

nothing more american than...spam.

ribs mmmm...

One of my favorite American Food is Fried Chicken:



SIMPLE SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN

1 frying chicken, skin removed if you
want lower fat. I leave the skin on.
3 teaspoons Lawry's Seasoned Salt
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup vegetable oil

1. Season chicken with all seasonings.
2. Roll chicken in flour until covered. Shake off
excess flour. Sprinkle additional seasoning.
3. Simply fry chicken in frying pan until golden
brown. I like it crispy so I cook it a little longer
than most.

You can start out with the oil very hot and then
reduce it later. This seals in the moisture and
flavor, then cooks it.

Philly Cheese Steak
http://philadelphia.about.com/cs/che...heesesteak.htm

A Philly cheesteak you should only try in Philly - for the first time anyway.

meatloaf, ham steak and potatoes... I just had breakfast and this is not helping!

Anyway, go to www.recipezaar.com and find there exactly what you want. They have an awesome database.

following that line of thought, you should try a Cuban sandwish only in Cuba, right? nope! The ones in Miami are delicious! the ones in Cuba aren't half as good...

Naw, I am just from Philly :) Seriously though if the meat isn't cut the proper way it isn't the same. Subway over here in the UK tried to do something they called a Philly steak sandwich and it had nothing in common other than beef and bread. Talking about bread..a true Philly Cheese Steak has to have Amoroso roll.

As far as the Cuban sandwich goes I don't even know what that is - educate me!

Aren't grits typically american?

Tacos!

damn wtf is that? the weird thing is the worse it looks the better it is lol

lol funny sounds horrible but Im sure it tastes amazing

Tasty, toasted Cuban sandwiches are Miami's favorite snack. These treats can be found in most Miami restaurants, but the best places to buy them are from the street corner-snack bars, called loncherias.

The sandwiches have a submarine-style layering of ham, roast pork, cheese, and pickle between a sliced length of Cuban bread. The key to a great, versus a good, Cuban Sandwich lies in the grilling. A great Cuban sandwich is grilled in a sandwich press (called a plancha) until the ham, pork, and pickles have warmed in their own steam. Cuban restaurants use a sandwich press, but you can substitute a waffle iron. These sandwiches use no mayonnaise, lettuce, onions, bell peppers, or tomatoes; however, butter and mustard are optional. Cuban sandwiches are sold hot (pressed) or cold (room temperature).

It's just burgers or hotdogs, macaroni salad and homefries/frenchfries all topped with hot sauce, mustard and onions (no onions for me). Sounds and looks a lot worse than it tastes. I eat them any time of the day. Morning, noon or night.

nice, we dont have subs like they do in the US and like Sarah said the subway ones are lame. Only thing we got are tostis, sliced bread ham n cheese melted.

Subs rock :) They do sell these pressed ones, different names for them some call them tostinis

actually I come up with this cause I was eating a krentenbol, its old dutch food, sweet bread with raisins, butter and sugar, some put cheese in between. Kids eat them a lot, pretty sure no other country has them.

That has to be the one American food I get asked about the most over here. I try to explain that I am from the Northern USA it is just as strange to me as it is to them.

Sounds good ..especially the no onions bit (hate raw onions). I love 'street' food and how things are local to various citites.

Quiznos and as couple other chains have them too. I think even McDonjalds have a Philly Cheeze sandwidtch.

That's how the "Garbage Plates" are here in my city. Everyone has their copy. From Trash Plates, to Dumpster Plates they're all try...but there's only one real Garbage Plate.

That's from Quebec (in america...) ;)

Those new McD's sammiches are only available in Canada I think. Haven't seem them in my neck of the woods yet.

We have cheeze bread, and raisin bread, but not both mixed.

Yeah they can call them a Philly steak sandwich but trust me they aren't the same.

You have no idea how much I would love somebody that sent me a case of it. Every now and then I really crave it and even though I used to beable to find it every now and then here it has stopped being available.

I made shrimp scampi last night with cucumber salad...

I saw someone from Great Britain in another forum saying the exact same thing a while ago.

We always have a few boxes of it around these days since the kids like it so much for a quick lunch. I still don't mind the occasional plateful myself.

"The origin of the hamburger is not very clear, but the prevailing version is that at the end of 1800' s, European emigrants reached America on the ships of the Hamburg Lines and were served meat patties quickly cooked on the grill and placed between two pieces of bread. "

Sloppy Joes and meatloaf are two of my favorites, pot pies are also fantastic. From what I have been able to determine, burritos are also American or they are only available in some parts of Mexico, so add that to the list.
