There was an interesting thread on Making Light a while back, in which various people tried to work out what could legitimately be called typical American food – as opposed to a regional speciality that’s become popular elsewhere. I mean, sure, burgers, but beyond that?

Mac and cheese? Hot dogs? (The Brits put a sausage in an oblong roll and call it a hot dog, but that’s just wrong. Possibly tasty, but not a hot dog.)

Ah, yes. Hamburgers…

As American as frankfurters and Vienna sausages…
