I am currently visiting the USA, and before I leave I want to try some food that is “uniquely” american - IE, you can’t really find it outside of the country.
UK stores do tend to have a “USA section” which has a small amount of sweets and other products. But I am wondering what americans specifically missed / couldn’t find in other countries.
As an example - Wendy’s as far as I’ve seen, isn’t local to the UK or at least where I live. So trying that was a “unique american food”, to me.
I’m also in Chicago at the moment, so I made sure to try a proper (real?) Chicago deep dish pizza (loved it, by the way).
Alternatively, any other suggestions of food to try?
Immediate edit - turns out Wendy’s is in some locations in the UK. I just assumed incorrectly!
Thanks for all the suggestions!!
Does Chicago do Midwest style cheese curds?
Shame you’re not here during the summer, the state fair is where we hide the truly incredible culinary abominations like deep fried twinkies, deep fried oreos, deep fried ranch dressing… (no, we don’t usually eat that kind of thing but you’d get to go home and confirm that we are actually doing this stuff).
Try some sweet tea as well if Waffle House has it, Cracker Barrel (another chain) also does most of the southern style breakfast stuff (grits, biscuits and gravy) and it’s an interesting trip but local places and Waffle House should take higher priority.
