Japanese cuisine has its raw fish, sushi, and ramen. But just how would one authentically identify the most iconic American items? America has often been called a melting pot. Immigrant families from all over the world brought their hopes and dreams, and also culinary heritage to their brand new country. Even the all-American apple pie isn't actually native to the United States. It came, along with the apples themselves, from England.
Barbecue pulled pork, shrimp and grits, key lime pie, and lobster rolls are classic American dishes you can easily associate with a state or region, but other states that aren't culinary destinations are harder to pinpoint.
Writing a quiz like this inevitably means leaving out or accidentally overlooking some much-loved regional specialties. Nonetheless, here are 15 dishes that are undeniably American. Can you identify all of them?

Not even American.
The only one that got me was the Kentucky Browns…because I’ve never heard of that.
I’m an American and I didn’t know what it was either. lol
It must be a local cuisine just in Kentucky.
Quite possibly. But, still you did amazing.
Thanks 👍

For lunch I enjoyed a Swiss cheese sandwich with a tomato slice on the side and of course kettle cooked potato chips and a cup of milk!
