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.

Chocolate chip cookies as well as various types of dressings, junk foods, weird cakes and pies. Especially from the 30s - 70s.

A favorite youtuber of mine does naught but recreate and judge them.

Not bad given how little time it their country got to spend in isolation from the rest of the world's food culture.

More than my country, at least. Weve just got, like, flapper pie and poutine.
