American cuisine was preferred by 17 percent, followed by seafood at 9 percent, Chinese at 6 percent, steak at 5 percent, Japanese at 3 percent, Indian at 3 percent, Mexican at 2 percent and French at 2 percent.
Re: Italian cuisine preferred by most Americans
duh...italian food...joisey...why is it a surprise.
Re: Italian cuisine preferred by most Americans
40% of new jersey's population is italian
Re: Italian cuisine preferred by most Americans
I agree, my favorite cuisine is italian..most of the time we got out to an italiam plac eor another...if not I look for italian items on the menu...
Luckily i found fried calamari at this vietnamese place..it is heavenly with butter garlic sauce.
But the question is who was part of thiss survey, what population?
Re: Italian cuisine preferred by most Americans
I think seafood should be higher. Seafood cooked in an Italian way is even better!
Re: Italian cuisine preferred by most Americans
Pizza and lasagne is quite nice but the rest of it is too tomatoey.
I like Iranian, Paki, Turkish and Arabic cuisine. It's nice, meaty, herby and flavoursome but not overtly spicy or veggy like Indian stuff.
Re: Italian cuisine preferred by most Americans
i like indian cuisine...full of green veggies and less of blood.

Meat is good for you in the right quantity, it is almost impossible to get all our protein from just veg, in addition to protein it has high levels of iron, vitamin B1 and niacin.
Islamically slaughtered meat does not contain much blood, with a very sharp knife we cut the throat, windpipe and the blood vessels in the neck leaving the spine intact (as not to cause cardiac arrest) so that the blood is well drained.
As well as being the most hygienic it is also the most humane method of slaughter because blood flow to the nerve of the brain responsible for pain is severed so the animal doesn't feel pain, scientific studies have shown it to be less painful than the stunning methods.
God made us omnivores not herbivores, meat eating is the way of nature, some species are meant to be other species food.

What is american cuisine? I always think but could not figure out anything. Maybe burger, hot dog, chilli.
Even burger is not unique as it is kind of a sandwich which is a universal food
Hotdog has sausage which is polish and german thing.
So guys help me, name some of the dishes of american cuisine for me

Cuisine (and culture in general) was acquired by all Ethnicities from some other, nobody grew recipy sheets in their back yard.
Greeks got Moussaka from Arabians.
Pakis got Pilow from Afghanis who got it from Turks.
Indians got Vindaloo curry from the Portugese.
Afghanis got Mantu from Uzbeks.
British 'Fish 'n' Chips' is a combination of Sephardi Jewish and Mediterranean cuisine.

Americans got the Pretzel, Hotdogs, Hamburgers, Steak and Mashed potatoes from German immigrants
Americans got Pizza, Calzone, Cheese Steak from Italian immigrants
Americans got French Fries from Belgian immigrants
Americans got Popcorn from Hispanic immigrants
etc.....

So if 10% of New Jersians eat Pizza, would it come under Italian food or American food.
And Pop Corn is American cuisine? Let me rephrase it. Popcorn is Cuisine? So people eat it for Dinner
Peper steak, I think that survey said American Cuisine is 17%, steak at 5%, so the survey is taking steak as seperate cateogary
I request not to jump into an argument, just try to make me look stupid. I am living here from 16 years so I know a bit or two about cuisines.
My question was simple and your answer is confusing. I am not asking about borrowed food, that much, I also know.
I am talking about genuine American food. Just like you go to Italian restaurant in USA, if you go to American Restaurant in Italy, what food would thery serve?
Re: Italian cuisine preferred by most Americans
^^ An American Restaurant in Italy would probably serve all non-Italian American staples such as Steak with Mashed potatoes, chilli, pretzels, onion rings, etc...
But since America is a nation of immigrants, there is nothing uniquely American. Its basically a mesh of different cultures which gives American food its uniqueness

Good, so that brings me to my original question, when 17% New Jersians said they liked American food, what food were they talking about. I am talking about real meal, not pretzel or onion rings (like steak and potatoe is more american then any other. Any other examples?)
Re: Italian cuisine preferred by most Americans
I think american food is just a combination of all foods from around the world but there's more european influence right now.

my guess would be all the non-italian food in USA would be considered American by Italian-Americans
Re: Italian cuisine preferred by most Americans
Ok, I did some search and put some dishes in front of each cateogary. I need you guys to help me and add some in front of American cuisine
American cuisine was preferred by 17 percent,
seafood at 9 percent, Lobster, Crab, Oyster
Chinese at 6 percent, Hu Nan Chicken, Fried Rice, Sweet and Sour Chicken
steak at 5 percent, Pepper steak, T-bone steak, Sirloin steak
Japanese at 3 percent, Sushi, Mochi, Sekihan (got them from wikipedia)
Indian at 3 percent, Biryani, Sambar, Chana Masala ….
Mexican at 2 percent, Burrito, Fajita, Taco
French at 2 percent Crêpe, Cordon Bleu, Bourguignon
Re: Italian cuisine preferred by most Americans
^^ Indian food is Pakistani food....
Indians only have veggie in their meals
Pakistani food is the one Americans go crazy for with chicken tikkas, sheesh kebabs, etc...
And Steak is German Food and so is stuffed Turkey
