              Are they that unnatural? Basically sliced and fried potatoes, right?

              I think pancakes & sausage on a stick is the quintessential American dish.

                Doritos don't have any potatoes in them.
                John Brown did nothing wrong.

                    Ok, I guess they may be a little unnatural.

                      Turkey however it's cooked should be unique american food.
                      With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

                          Pizza, as currently understood (bread, tomato sauce, cheese, from bottom to top, with other toppings on top or in the cheese layer), is clearly American. The Italian version is good, but is not the same thing; more like bread, with some tomatoes, basil, and fresh mozzarella cheese balls on it. No sauce.

                            I would note that there are quite a few things nowadays you could argue are American. Several varieties of salad, for example; lots of sandwiches. A lot of interesting 'modern' food. In general, though, I don't think there's an "American" genre of food, except in having lots of varieties of food mixed together - fusion. I'm okay with that.

                                Isn't that basically what he said?
