America’s Most Famous Foods

From Twinkies to fried chicken to peanut butter and jelly, Americans really love their sweet, fatty, breaded, gooey treats.

We also love BARBEQUE.  According to Time, “merely throwing meat on a grill is not barbecue — at least not in the traditional sense.”  Ribs, steaks, chicken, even turkey ends up on the grill, but to be true BBQ, it has to be smoked and tended over the indirect heat of a wood fire for at least 18 hours!  Since most of us don’t have time for that, we call it BBQ if we use charcoal and cook over an open flame in our backyard or college football tailgate.  Either way, the results are pretty tasty.
