United States cuisine

The gastronomy of the United States corresponds to a very varied mix and some other
gastronomy, this is so because it is a country created mainly by immigrants from
different countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, and other countries. The cuisine of the
indigenous people of North America could be called indigenous and the rest is a fusion
of different food cultures taken to different extremes, on the one hand there is fast food
full of its marketing appeal, on the other hand there is traditional food based on
traditions livestock of yesteryear, both cattle, sheep, and goats. The most popular
foreign foods are Italy, followed by China and its neighbors Mexico. The definition of
"traditional American food" is difficult. It can come from the culinary experiences of the
natives, existing before the colonization of the lands. True, the United States uses
ingredients such as turkey (traditionally at Thanksgiving, at other times as well), corn,
lima beans, sunflowers, potatoes, bell peppers, and various forms of cucumbers were
typical in the diet. cuisine of the native Indians and are today much celebrated
ingredients in regional American culinary specialties. Also, they use cooking techniques
and culinary ingredients from immigrants to the country. Even so, it is not well-
established which type of food should be considered American and which should not.
Over time, other culinary customs, and ingredients from groups of immigrants who
arrived massively from Europe, Asia, Africa, etc., were added to these ingredients from
the native North American Indians. All of them carried their customs and ingredients that
over time were mixed, it is for this reason that many traditional American dishes have an
original root in the gastronomy of other countries. Some of these are apple pies, pizza,
runzas, chowder and hamburgers all of them with a common origin in dishes from
European kitchens. Another example could be Tex-Mex cuisine that blends with
Mexican cuisine, giving rise to chili con carne and variants such as hard tortilla tacos or
tostadas.
