what is american cuisine
For decades, chefs and other epicureans have argued and debated this topic. While countless American foods easily come to mind, and are well known world-wide, is it really possible to answer the question, "what is American cuisine?"
Due to the vast amount of different nations that populated the United States in the colonial times, their cuisine has many influences, especially from Mexico, Britain and the Mediterranean.
There is an impressive list of foods that are all indigenous to America. Brought back to Europe and Asia by the early explorers, many of these ingredients are now key components in cuisines all around the globe. See why, thanks to America, the world is a much more delicious place!
Over the last few decades, American food and American regional cuisine has gained much respect around the world for its diversity, creativity and trends towards healthy, and sustainable ingredients.
No tomatoes in Italy? No vanilla in France? No potatoes in Ireland? Yes, the entire culinary landscape of the planet would be completely different if it wasn't for these native foods. For instance avocados are a pear-shaped fruit of a tree native to Mexico and Central America. There is evidence it has been cultivated in Central America since 5,000 BC. The Mayans believed the avocado had magical powers and was an aphrodisiac.
And chilli peppers, both hot and sweet, are a common ingredient in almost every major cuisine worldwide. It's hard to image a time when there were no peppers in Asia, or Europe, but it all began over 10,000 years ago in the Americas. Peppers were clearly one of the first crops grown by the Native Americans. From Peru, up to New Mexico, these prehistoric people grew chili peppers for both their culinary, and medicinal benefits.
Christopher Columbus is credited with naming them "peppers" because he thought they tasted like Asian spice (the peppercorn variety).
