Question

16．What is"American"food？To many people，American food means hamburgers，hot dogs，and fried chicken．However，are those the only kinds of food in the U．S．？
Except for Thanksgiving turkey，it's hard to find a typical"American"food．The United States is a land of immigrants（移民）．When people move to America，they bring their cooking styles with them．So Americans eat food from many different countries．That's why you can find almost all kinds of ethnic （异国风味的） food in America，such as Italian pizza，Mexican tacos （墨西哥饼） and Chinese fried rolls．But they don't taste quite like the real taste of the food．
As a large country-style cooking，take a trip to New England and try seafood dishes，and travel through the Midwest for baked food．
Now Americans live at a fast speed and often have some fast food．One of the most common quick American meals is sandwiches．Some Americans also choose to eat unhealthy food，but others prefer"all natural"eating habits．They refuse to eat any food with additives（添加剂）．
American culture is a good example of the saying："You are what you eat．"The different kinds of food show the different kinds of personal taste．Anyway，it's all American．
