List of American foods

This is a list of American foods and dishes where few actually originated from America but have become a national favorite.

This variety continued expanding well into the 19th and 20th proportional to the influx migrants from additional foreign nations.

There is a rich diversity in food preparation throughout the United States.

This list is not exhaustive, nor does it cover every item consumed in the U.S., but it does include foods and dishes that are common in the U.S. (highly available and regularly consumed), or which originated there.

This includes general areas of food interest relating to the United States.
