American food

Unique Tag: [ DistinctivelyUnitedStatesCuisine ]

Aliases: [ American cooking, American cuisine ]
Not a good name -- a slippery concept. What some Americans (white? black? Anglo? Hispanic? Jewish?) think of as distinctively `American' food. Probably best thought of as a nationalist mass-media generalization, perhaps appropriate in the 1940s or 1950s, but hopelessly misleading now
