carolina pulled pork bbq....mmmmmm tasty...

Apple Pie and Extremely Spicy Hot Wings... (the kind that make you sweat)

Chemically speaking, chocolate really is the world's perfect food.

breakfast - fried grits aka mush (Bob Evans) w/ maple syrup
lunch - hamburger w/ bacon, lettuce, tomato and avocado w/ BBQ sauce
snack - peanut butter and jelly sandwich on toast!
dinner - BBQ ribs or anything BBQ (briskett, pullet pork, cornbread, greens, baked beans, etc.)
desert - ben and jerry's ice cream....

I don't know what is actually ours... it seems like all the culture we have here as Americans is borrowed and adopted from other parts of the world... so, true innovation is pretty hard to come by since we are saturated with such great culture from around the world!!! I guess that the food here is different than in other parts of the world so I will say that this is what I have assumed as being close to american food... I think of BBQ and fusion food. I did work with some australians and they kept telling me that they couldn't understand our fascination with peanut butter... they thought it was gross. I couldn't imagine growing up w/o PB&J!!!

This thread always makes me very hungry. I forgot about fried mush, that's a great one, pure southern goodness.

I know this is months later but I thought I'd add to the list.

Favorite meal:
roast beef
cornbread
fried okra
collar greens (with pepper sause)
creamed corn
black-eyed peas

and for dessert: pound cake

now I don't know if any of these are 'american' but it's what I grew up on and my parents grew up on.

and yes, I'm from the south =)
I'm from georiga =)

oh! and don't forget the sweet tea! =)
