How do I become a master of American Cuisine?

[Anonymous No.11109453]

cheese and bacon on everything
done
deep fried as a bonus

[Anonymous No.11109458]

You need to master their culture before, this will not take you a long time. :)

Authentic American food comes from harvests. So you want to work with fresh herbs, root veg, tomato, corn, and wheat.

[Anonymous No.11109686]

Sourdough bread and old world style stews are a staple.

[Anonymous No.11109699]

grilled corn is good

[Anonymous No.11109705]

Blue corn is better. With blueberries or blackberries especially, these are all indigenous to North America.

[Anonymous No.11109708]

>>11109705

as is maple syrup

[Anonymous No.11109712]

steak is good, again with herbs and in this case butter

[Anonymous No.11109713]

(for this post i will be using commas in place of periods so europeans can understand)
>1,) cook what you would normally cook
>2,) put it in jello

[Anonymous No.11109715]

But Americans love to grill. It's like a national sport.

[Anonymous No.11109718]

>>11109715

[Anonymous No.11109722]

Another thing Americans love are what they call "sides". This is inevitably going to be harvest foods again. So lots of root veg or carbs from wheat.

[Anonymous No.11109730]

casseroles, like "macaroni and cheese"

[Anonymous No.11109739]

or pretty much anything with beans, also indigenous

[Anonymous No.11109758]

Americans have vast coastal resources. Seafood is plentiful. Cajun is a fusion of local resources with old world culture.

Get a smoker, charcoal, wood, and meat.

[Anonymous No.11109786]

"surf and turf" is their slang for seafood and beef typically gulf shrimp or coastal lobster

[Anonymous No.11109799]

Yes, they eat hot dogs too. Especially at sports events or friendly gatherings. But they didn't invent the sausage.

[Anonymous No.11109806]

If you are going to do them, at least do them right. That means a good dog, a good bun, a grill (or split then pan fried in butter), and a lot of "fixings". Go wild with toppings.

[Anonymous No.11109812]

But traditional American cuisine is centered around the harvest time, and the family.

That is full on food porn at it's finest...I don't know if that's a serving for one, but fuck I'd get all that...amazing...

I don't believe any of this food actually exists. Fake news

I know in some places you pick the meat then you tell them how many people you would like it to be for.

[Anonymous No.11109849]

...and you really haven't had American until you've had a slice of Grandma's apple pie.

It's fu/ck/ing delicious.

I'm american, and I think every piece of media listed there fucking sucks.

I can't stand seinfields stupid ass way of speaking, he sounds like a fucking rejected muppet.

I'm assuming this is a troll, but decades of people telling me they actually like seinfeld and how long it's been on the air leads me to think people have shit taste.

I always preferred things like that 70s show, or malcom in the middle.

Every time I tried barbecue at some fancy hipster place the barbecue sauce was grotesquely sweet. If that's the "authentic" way to do it then it's inherently abhorrent. Can't stand the stuff.

[Anonymous No.11109863]

[Anonymous No.11109875]

>>11109866
Can't remember now but I think the places I went to were Memphis and South Carolina. What your post tells me is that these sauces get even sweeter, which is just unconscionable.

People think Seinfeld isn't funny today because everything it did that was funny back then has since been done to death by everyone else, making them seem retroactively lame in comparison. You see the same phenomenon happen with younger people listening to the Beatles and not getting why they were so popular either.

No, it's an accurate image for a meme country.

Go to walmart. Open freezer doors and pile your cart full. Grab another cart, and walk down every aisle piling in dry boxed sides, sodas, chips, candy. Hit the authentic refrig cases where they have chemically injected and tumbled meats and "cheese style" products some of them even "cured" for 2 hours.

Wala!

Barbecue is very frequently served on a platter as a group order

[Anonymous No.11109937]

they put some sugar in tennessee style but I never found one that was too sweet, though memphis might be different because tourists and black people. South Carolina absolutely should not have been sweet unless you consider something made half with ketchup too sweet

Are there styles that don't use any sugar? At this point, I'm pretty sure I would only like such a style if it existed. Otherwise, bbq is just not for me.

the ny slice is disappointing as hell
when i went there the only other thing i ate was umami burger (not that great) and some ethiopian food, which was good as always but obvs nothing to do with ny

[Anonymous No.11110088]

not one fucking burger

or you were in a tourist place. the real good shit is actually not super easy to find because they're usually on the outskirts of small towns in the middle of nowhere because big cities can have regulations about fires indoors. I'm sure someone has written a guide to bbq in each of the various regions that could point you in the right direction because I wouldn't trust online reviews since mostly tourists write those and they don't always "get it" because they're used to KC Masterpiece andpic related which is half corn syrup

[Anonymous No.11110122]

>>11110071
>NY slice
Overrated
>cream cheese bagel
You can get those in flyover land, not that different in NYC.
>pastrami sandwich at Katz
Probably the best option of the three.

Really the best thing to do food-wise is eat the hip trend of the week, that's the most New Yawk thing you can do. Then come on here and shitpost about how good it is just because of the novelty.

[Anonymous No.11110154]

>>11110071
bruh if I were you I would try to find the stuff from immigrants that you don't normally encounter like doubles from trinidad out in queens or russian food in south brooklyn. The city I live in now doesn't have any proper immigrants besides mexicans and those are all from puebla and make tacos and burritos yawn. You could get a chopped cheese too but those are just cheap eats for people on the block who can't afford more than 7 dollars for a sandwich

Like if you ever go to minneapolis you gotta get Somalian food ya know?

Avoid something that appears to have a large amount of thick sauce. That's usually the sweet stuff.
