However... There are some things that Americans like that few other people do, like peanut butter or maple syrup. You know, this is not a popular item in the rest of the world.

Not really. I have a friend actually from Barcelona and his ambition is to open an American restaurant in Barcelona. But it really would be the first apart from, you know, fast food that's identified with America. And if you ask most foreigners, they think American food is just fast food, or maybe American food is just variety of foods.

So yeah, that's the reason that I became interested in this subject, just to find out, you know, what is American food? And even is there such a thing? Is there such a thing? Well, I believe there is. I think there are three aspects to it. They're not like typical dishes in the sense that As you said, if you go into an Italian restaurant, you know there's going to be pasta.

But the three elements I would identify are regional foods, kind of like a vestige of what used to be a more vigorous sense that, you know, you've got certain kinds of dishes in New England, certain kinds of dishes in the South, certain kinds of dishes in the Northwest. The second element is kind of what killed regionalism, and that is Modern food.

Modern meaning processed, industrial, standardized. And then the third element is variety. And by variety, it means, you know, like the Tropicana orange juice comes in eight different kinds. Or, you know, the yogurt comes in 30 different kinds or the ice cream is in 28 flavors.

And another aspect of variety is that Americans have for much longer than the rest of the world liked so-called ethnic restaurants, liked the food of foreigners and of immigrants.
