When it comes to American food, I want to say it's all-kinds-of food, because it combines everything together. If it has to be specific, then the first thing that pops into my mind is fast food, especially burger. I think the fast food is in fact a production of the Ametican society. With such a high speed of development, the citizens in the states don't even have time for meals sometimes, so they need fast food badly to catch up with the fast footpace of living. Also, because of the short history and the fact that the US is a multi-culture nation, all kinds of traditional food from other countries flooded here, which slows down the inprovement of the American food.
Just like i said, because there are too many choices for food in the states, and American food itself is not perfect,most of the time, people won't recommend burgers and fries for meals. Lately there is even a group of people who resist fast food because it's unhealthy. But actually in some way, we have to admit that it's convenient, tasty, and nowadays it's popular all over the world. The fast food has gradually become an icon of the American food, and part of American culture.
Actually I enjoy American food, and everytime I see the long line in IN-N-OUT I believe that most of the youth enjoy it as I do. Yes, we do have like endless choices here to eat, just like when the first time I had delicious Chinese dishes here I'm so happy that I nearly wanted to cry. But in the meantime, fast food has becoming a choice, too. It's unique. It's special. It has the quality to be proud of. I think it shows the style of Americans, which is straight, free, simple, and efficient. Maybe there will be more other kinds of traditional American food that i don't know, but I believe that they all show those positive attitude towards life.
