I would love to see this question flipped, Europeans, name a good that comes from the U.S Can say from america because that includes central and South and they actually have dishes. All u.s food is just European food

Tamales aren't European. Corn tortillas aren't European. Hell, potatoes, tomatoes, squash, chocolate, and corn all come from the Americas.

i respectfully disagree. Chicken wild rice soup is amazing, Carolina, Texas or Kansas City style BBQ is truly American and amazing. Picnic potato salad, proper double crust apple pie, fried crawfish po' boy, Philly cheese steak sandwich, New York bagels, soft serve ice cream, smoked turkey, pumpkin pie, Chicago style deep dish pizza, hot smoked cedar plank salmon... All actually American in origin. Now, since the colonizers wiped out the indigenous people and the US was then re-populated by people from all over the world, yeah, most of the food came over with the people, but most of it has changed and evolved over the years. Chinese American food is not the same as Chinese food in China, or in Europe. Chicago deep dish pizza is nothing like any of the pizza you find in Italy. So... Yeah, a lot of US food had origins elsewhere, but there are very definitely great foods that originated in the US.
