America celebrates freedom and flavor, blending diverse tastes from coast to coast. Classic American favorites include oatmeal, grits, eggs, cereal, barbecue, potato salad, mashed potatoes, corn, gumbo, po-boys, and more. Each region has its specialties—Rhode Island favors Johnnycakes, while Iowa loves creamed corn.

Fun Facts:

• Apple pie isn’t originally American; early settlers used crabapples for their pies.

• Grits and eggs, a Southern staple, evolved from nutrient-rich ground corn introduced by colonists.
