American cuisine

Americans mainly eat western food. Under normal circumstances, they like to eat all kinds of fruit juice and sugar pancakes with ham, salt and pepper buns, ham omelet, milk, coffee, yogurt, jam and so on. At lunch and in the evening, they eat mixed vegetables, beef sauce, roast chicken, liver sauce, roasted cauliflower, tea sausage, braised chicken pieces, braised eggplant, fried pork chops, fried meat pies and so on.

American tastes are characterized by salty and sweet, generally light, slightly spicy, slightly sweet and slightly sour. And they don't like to eat fat, spicy or greasy dishes, steamed and braised food, and avoid eating all kinds of animal viscera and feet. But chicken, duck, fish, meat, eggs, seafood and game, especially turkey, beef and goose, are animal foods that Americans generally like to eat.

American food mostly evolved from English food. Fruit ingredients are often used in dishes, such as stewed ham with pineapple and roasted goose and duck with apple. Americans like to eat vegetables, such as green beans, bean sprouts, sword beans and mushrooms. Most cold dishes are seasoned with salad dressing. Americans' favorite dishes include crab Wendan pot, clam chowder, clove ham, American turkey and duck, apple salad, pumpkin pot, watermelon ice and snow, etc.

Americans attach great importance to the nutrition of food. They think that coarse bread of chicken, fish, apples, pears, bananas, sweet oranges, cauliflowers, potatoes and skimmed milk powder is the best food, while bacon, candy, chocolate, egg yolk, fat pork, pork and beef sausage, potato chips, bacon and full-fat dairy products are the worst food, because these foods contain more saturated fat and cholesterol, as well as smoked food.

Fast food is a typical diet in modern America, among which "hamburger", "pie" and "hot dog" are the most common and famous. "Hamburgers" are convenient foods and drinks such as beef, chicken and eggs sandwiched between round bread. "Pie" is also called Italian baked pie. Its stuffing is usually a mixture of chicken, beef, ham, sausage, mushrooms, onions and cream. "Hot dog" is bread and sausage. .

Americans don't like tea very much, but they like to drink ice water and mineral water, and usually like to use whiskey and brandy as drinks.

Americans don't pay much attention to taste when eating, but there are many taboos. They seldom eat garlic and hot and sour food. They don't eat fat, so they don't eat animal offal. Besides, Americans like to drink mineral water, Coca-Cola, beer and other drinks. Whiskey, brandy and other alcoholic beverages are usually used as tea. Americans pay great attention to time and efficiency, so the fast food industry came into being. The most popular foods in American fast food are "hot dogs", hamburgers and donuts.

Americans often eat sandwiches, hamburgers and hot dogs, and drink milk or soda. Adults like to drink coffee, tea or beer. People who go to work or students basically eat sandwiches brought at home. To save time, many people eat in the cafeteria. There is a vending machine. You can buy soup, sandwiches, drinks, fruits and sweets from the vending machine.

Dinner usually has several courses: (fresh fruit, juice or a fish soup and salad), main course (meat, fish, potatoes, rice, food and so on. ) and dessert. Americans like sweets: cakes, pies, biscuits and ice cream. They sometimes have a midnight snack.

Americans also eat three meals a day, but usually eat fast food at noon.

Breakfast may be juice, cereal, toast and coffee. A hearty breakfast can also include pancakes, cornflakes, sausages, ham and various eggs. Oatmeal porridge, which Americans often drink, is thick porridge made of oats, mixed with milk and white sugar, and soaked in white sugar milk to eat.

People who go to work or school seldom go home for lunch, but bring meals from home. American lunch is the simplest of the three meals. It is usually eaten with vegetables and sandwiches, hamburgers or Italian pizza, hot dogs and drinks.

Dinner starts around 6 pm and is usually very rich. Usually fruit juice or soup is served first, and then the main course is served.
