What? Americans have culinary culture? Well, of
course! It’s not only hamburgers and fries. United States, like I mentioned
before in this blog, is a land of multiculturalism. People from all around the
world settle down there and of course, they bring their cooking along.
For example, burritos and tacos are from Mexico,
pizza, pasta and subway sandwiches come from Italy. Other examples are the
England chowder, a vegetable or seafood, like clam, stew thicken with milk or
cream, chili soup, made out of beef, beans and tomato juice, or apple cobbler,
a fruit dessert.
There is also the popular “fast food”, such as KFC, MC
Donald’s, Wendy’s or Taco Bell.
So, after all, United States is not only the food they
eat in movies or what is popular in OUR countries. Each part of the US has its
different culinary customs depending on what they grow in each area, like corn,
maple syrup or potatoes. Like anywhere else, food begins to change when it
arrives to another place, ingredients start being replaced with something grown
in that region, and the taste changes as well. Pizza in New York cannot be
compares with Pizza in Italy, but this, by any reason means that one is better
than the other.
