These 14 artery-clogging dishes are surely the most aggressively American foods you can eat
As freedom and democracy continue to get bulldozed into a pile of rubble, America needs a new source of patriotic pride. And thusly, we head to the kitchen (and probably pretty shortly afterwards, the bathroom.)
Reddit user RavenRead put forth a very simple query:
‘What’s a traditional American dish?’
So many answers, so many dishes, so many calories. You can practically smell the aromas from all of the home cooked classics that popped up. Quick note: nowhere did anyone say anything about nutritional value. So please don’t come here looking for a new diet plan. Besides, it’s not American if it’s good for you, right?
Now, try to get to the end of the answers without running to the pantry for a snack.

chocolate chip cookies!!! Idk how many America specific ingredients you can get in the country you are in but chocolate, sugar, flour and butter are at least somewhat universal from my understanding.

If you’re American, you must realize that food is going to differ by state/region. The traditional dishes around me are lobster rolls, fried whole belly clams, steamer clams, New England Clam Chowder, Yankee pot roast…. someone from NY, New Orleans, Dallas, or LA will probably have none of those and have a whole list of their traditional foods.
