The only thing that comes in mind when we think of American food is the hamburgers and fries. Actually American food is a version of some food with foreign roots. This I am saying because I myself have experienced it in a restaurant.

Recently I went to a restaurant and I ordered American food there. When I asked, the restaurant owner said that it served American food and when the dish came I was just surprised that I was served a mix of Italian food, French and Mexican food with the addition of more cheese, fried chicken etc making it Americanized. This is just a false and totally fraud I have ever seen.

The most shocking was that I could get Chinese ethnic foods, Italian ethnic foods, Mexican and Thai ethnic foods in American foods but I never saw an American ethnic food in America. Of course food in America is neither very well known nor famous but still they should have some ethnic food which they can call their own. And this American food depends on all the other ethnic foods and just manipulated.

I don’t mean that the Americans do not have healthy food but my trip to America has made me feel that it has no food of its own culture and totally depends on other cultures and this I can say not based on one or two days, experience as I was there for about 2 months and not even one day did I get a totally Americanized food.

I would like to know if there is no ethnic cuisine for the Americans. If yes please let me know.
