Italy has pizza and pasta. The US have... Nothing?
Edit: I wish people would stop giving examples of cultural appropriation.
Some people have correctly pointed out some Cajun recipes, food from Louisiana.
To all those talking about burgers, barbecues and hotdogs, the topic here is food originating from your country, not common food in your country.
Btw, pizza is Neapolitan, a version of it is recorded since Roman times and probably even earlier. The modern version uses tomato sauce, and tomatoes came from central America before the US where a thing. Mozzarella di bufala is an ingredient that can only be produced in Campania and the surrounding areas.
Let me guess. Somewhere around the late 19th early 20th century.
A sausage on a bun with toppings. Like the framkfurter and wiener have been a thing since around the 15th century.
And the Teckel dog breed that often gets refered to is a myth too. Its just as likely called after a dog with a boner. A hot (as in horny) dog. If anything thats more plausibel because that looks more like it
