What kind of food do Americans eat?

1, American fast food \x0d\ Actually, the reason why fast food has become the representative of American food is because it was invented by Americans and spread around the world, does not mean that Americans are eating it. \x0d\ previously only know, McDonald's is poor people to eat, after coming over to find this side of the fast food brand is really a wide range of Burger King, SUBWAY, Wendy's, Friday. (The above is purely my cottage version of the translation, forgive me). McDonald's KFC is just two of the inconspicuous mainstream brands. It is worth mentioning that the rumors about McDonald's KFC in the United States being harder to eat than at home are true! Especially McDonald's, even the size of the burger has shrunk by one size, and my friend and I have tried to eat diarrhea. The reason should be the difference in brand positioning between the two places, in the country is positioned as the market medium price of American fast food in the U.S. mainland is not, the customer is mainly part of the young people and low-income middle-aged and elderly people. There is also driving a long distance, eat fast food is also inevitable. The world's first KFC in Salt Lake City, is also the only self-service KFC restaurant, self-service price is about 7 U.S. dollars, because I am not a fan of fast food, and an aversion to fried chicken, last year when I accompanied my classmates to go to the March probably only ate two drumsticks (think about it is not really cost-effective). \x0d\\\x0d\2, Mexican fast food, Mexican food \x0d\ before coming to the United States, did not expect Mexican food over here is so common, the above mentioned fast food, in addition to the sale of burgers and fried chicken pizza, another equally common is to sell Mexican food like taco bell, taco time. (I don't know how to translate, sorry). These two kinds of fast food, except for the food sold is not quite the same, there is no difference. There are certainly a lot of non-fast food Mexican restaurants, and they are more prevalent the further south you go and the closer you get to Mexico. In addition to the above, Vietnamese food is also very popular in Asian cuisine. Not to mention the non-Asian food, such as Italian, French, and so on. You can also find good restaurants of various cuisines in Chinatowns (Chinatowns) in big cities, and some American families have the habit of going to Chinatowns on weekends for a family meal, but only in big cities. There are also many Chinese food lovers in places other than the big cities, but they often eat "American Chinese fast food," which is represented by a national fast-food chain called Panda express, and the specialty of this type of fast-food is "American Chinese food. The representative restaurant is a national fast food chain called "Panda express", while the representative dishes of this kind of fast food are "pineapple chicken" and "Mongolian beef", which most Chinese people have never heard of. \x0d\\x0d\4, Vegetarianism\x0d\\ Nowadays, vegetarianism has become a large part of American food culture, and vegans seem to make up a large percentage of the population. Before friends who don't know each other very well have dinner together for the first time, it's common for someone to ask, "Are there any vegetarians? (among us)". Vegetarians include health-conscious middle-aged and elderly people, and a large proportion of them are young people who grew up with either an aversion to meat, or for medical reasons, or because they love animals too much (don't laugh, it's true, I have a classmate who is like this). My previous landlord's family, only the husband eats meat, the wife can accept fish at the maximum, I forget if the kids eat fish or not. Vegetarian restaurants or vegetarian menus in restaurants in general are also very common. \x0d\\\x0d\5, Traditional Foods \x0d\ Have you ever wondered what traditional American food looks like? Yes, it consists mainly of bread, beef and potatoes, plus of course the different products and specialties of each place as mentioned earlier. For example, Chicago is famous for its hot dogs and deep dish pizzas. Maryland is the largest crab producer in the country, and I went to Washington, D.C. last October with great anticipation for the seafood there, and the oysters were some of the freshest I've had in two years. I am located in Utah is not by the sea inland, can not eat fresh seafood, the Shenzhen grew up in my hard. The seafood you usually eat in places not by the sea is mainly frozen salmon, frozen cod, frozen shrimp and frozen crab. \x0d\\\x0d\6,American Snacks \x0d\\Americans love snacks, and there is no age limit, this is very different from the domestic. American snacks are represented by the very familiar potato chips, soda, ice cream and all kinds of sweets, its characteristics compared to Asian snacks is that the portion is large, the form of simple, sweet cream and sugar content is amazing, that is to say, it is the ideal food to gain weight. However, one thing is very similar to the domestic, is that the United States snacks are often used in all kinds of food additives, just generally within the use of standards. As for flavor, all I can say is that sweets are too sweet for most Asians.
