I'll never get it, my mother loved them, and they are being sold on market shelves today.

With the exception of gumbo, everything on that list is bad for you and most of it, apart from sliced bread and root beer, disgusting.
No wonder why Wal-Mart keeps having to add more and more scooter carts.

My Italian grandfather used to make his own root beer. Sadly, I never got to try a homemade one.
The one good thing about American cheese is that it’s individually wrapped and never seems to expire, which is a bit frightening.

Most of these foods are made with corn, sweet potatoes or pumpkins. Things that are not often found in Europe who is who they must be talking about when they burble about "people" finding them "confusing". Because no, not really.
In places where European taste do not rule these foods are indeed found and enjoyed.

The drink also goes by the name sarsaparilla, largely because it was originally made using Sassafras roots.
No. Root Beer and Sarsaparilla are different drinks. They are no more the same drink than Root Beer and Birch Beer, or Root Beer and Moxie.

Chicken Fried Steak is totally German.
Pork rinds are as much Mexican (chicarones) as American.

Thumbs up for pumpkin pie, PB&J, and gumbo. That’s about it.

Bleh. There are way better things! How about key lime pie, buffalo wings, BLTs, gumbo, clam chowder, and many others? Some of the foods listed here I don’t even find edible. :D

I like Circus Peanuts, but never eat them. Terrible for you.
Biscuits and gravy here in the south looks nasty, with the white slime. (What even IS that?) Growing up, we ate a lot of bread and gravy, but the gravy was regular beef gravy.
I love cornbread, but without sweetener, which makes it cake.
Some of those things I had not heard of.

Sloppy Joe’s are uniquely American? Not that the supremacy of American cuisine was ever in doubt, but that should clinch it for the slow learners.

They mention cereal as being able to be found everywhere but it is of course, an American invention.

A lot of these are hardly unique.
Chicken fried steak, for example. It’s not even American.

Grits are pretty similar to polenta which is common in Northern Italy though the way Southerners make Grits and the things they’ll add in such as shrimp, bacon, cheese, garlic, are quite different.
Might I suggest some others like Turducken, barbecue....I mean real actual barbecue not just cooking things on a grill, Tex-Mex...you really don’t see that outside the states either, key lime pie, pulled pork, Red Beans & Rice, Hush Puppies, etc.
