the shores of America?

I was writting a reply to Gazpacho on another thread about how Americans celebrate many fun activities that our founding father's from various nations handed down to us.....
For instance my ancestors were Irish....St. Patrick's Day
and French......Mardi Gras

Now to turn that into a foodie fun fact I would like to share my favorite Irish Food that we all love in my family is...........Corned Beef, potatoes, cabbage and carrots, and Irish Whiskey m-m-m-m!

Our favorite French food would have to be French Toast!

Can you list your favorite food or meal that came to America via your ancestors?

Hmmm, French Toast seems to be more English rooted. The first written mention of the dish comes from the court of Henry V of England (1413–1422).

I was thinking perhaps the Hamburger, but goes back to at least the Egyptians and Genghis Khan (1167-1227) apparently was the first to create the "patty". No sense bringing up the Hot Dog, aka Frankfurter. Is nothing strictly American.

Ahh, I have one....Chop Suey. Totally and completely American and invented here in 1896. Ahh Ohh, China won't allow that. They have recently stated that it originated in their Toisan region of China. This may lead to war.

Honestly my ancestors have been in the country since the mid 1600's and I am considered a mongrel. A bit of everything. Bring it all to the party and I'll enjoy it. The St. Patrick part likes split pea or potato soup. They probably aren't all that Irish but they fit in really nice and since the whiskey is out I sure could use some in my coffee.

Dad's people come from Sweden... maybe that's where my draw to Alaska and the chilly north-country, and my love for salmon, caribou and fresh berries comes from!

Don't know where Mom's folks came from, before Arkansas and Mississippi that is...

My ancestry is eclectic.... to say the least...on my Dad's side of the family our ancesters were Vikings,,,my Grandfather was half French and his wife (my Grandmother )was a Full Blooded Cherokee.On my Mom's side we are German and Irish.
We have members of the family who have Black hair and dark complexions and Redheads and Blonds. Out of Seven kids I was the only redhead...two brothers are dark and black hair and two brothers blond and two sister blond...my oldest brother is very into Geneology and had DNA testing done.
