"American Cuisine"!!! What on earth is that?? The Americans don"t have any cuisine they can call their own. That is the typical response of any gourmand and connoisseur of food, who considers himself knowledgeable and informed. But is such a sweeping dismissal true?? Granted the food that we know today as coming from the continent of America is not really indigenous to the people of America, nonetheless the fact remains that food brought by the immigrants from their home countries have been assimilated and Americanized, so much so that now, one can state with conviction that yes, there is an American cuisine that is typical to America alone.
