THE BEST AMERICAN FOOD

CNN has come up- with a list of food that best represents America. To be included, Americans didn’t have to have come up with the actual dish, but did have to put their own spin on it. The list is pretty arbitrary; there are a lot of obvious American things missing – hot dogs, fried chicken, cole slaw… but here are The 20 Greatest American Foods, according to CNN:
– Barbecue
– Fried okra
– Cobb salad
– Peanut butter and jelly sandwich
– Fry bread
– Red beans and rice
– Hamburger
– Apple pie
– Poke
– Chili
– Clam chowder
– General Tso’s chicken
– Reuben sandwich
– Grits
– Chocolate chip cookies
– Gumbo
– Mission burrito
– Banana pudding
– Spaghetti and meatballs
– Eggs Benedict
* This is one of those Russian propaganda things to sow dissent in America, right?
* Spaghetti and meatballs? They might as well have included French toast, Canadian bacon and Hungarian goulash.
* General Tso’s chicken. I believe General Tso distinguished himself fighting with Washington in the Revolutionary War.
* Here’s what’s really happening: You hate the list, you spend time on the CNN website posting angry comments, and while you’re doing that more ads are running beside the article, the more ads that run, the more money CNN makes. Yay, America!!
* Any list of great American foods starts with Snickers Bars and ends with Girl Scout Thin Mints.
