Meatloaf - Literally a wad of cooked, seasoned ground beef.
Clam Chowder - a clam soup. Boston or Now England Clam Chowder is creamy, and is usually white in color and has clams and potatoes.
Buffalo Wings - spicy or barbequed chicken wings
What would you serve meat loaf with? Vegetables and mash?
Yes, or other standard side dishes (like noodles). Some people serve it with a gravy. I grew up eating it with ketchup. We also eat it cold the next day - meatloaf sandwiches.
Frankie I will send you NYC pizza. You haven't lived until you have had a real slice of NYC pizza.
I'm trying to convince DH that we should in the future sell the house, put the kids in a boarding school, buy a camper van and tour the USA for a few years.
Just off the top of my head these are a few foods I have no clue what they are;
Key lime Pie ( I have some idea of what this is, just haven't come accross a good recipe)
Beef Jerky
Jambalaya
Meatloaf
Clam Chowder
Buffalo Wings
OMG Frankie! You make me want to start an "adopt a pregnant lady" program and send you all our good foods.
The pumpkins you typically use for pie special little pumpkins called sugar pumpkins but it's easier to just use the canned pumpkin.

Frankie, I need a list of all American foods you haven't tried. I'll type up some recipes and post a thread on here for you ...It might take a week for me to do so lol. Have you had chicken and dumplings?
You are just wonderful!
Anything pumpkin related.
A good chili recipe, like the ones you put on hot dogs!!
I've always wanted a good recipe for your version of pancakes/waffles.
I'm trying to remember now but it's quite hard when your on the spot.

Lmao!
Feed me!
We only have butternut squash available for about 3 months of the year.
I wouldn't know what to do with one, as my Mother never uses them so I have never been taught.

You can't make squash pie, but you can roast butternut squash with a chicken and it's delicious.

One other question, what is a pizza pie?
YOU ARE BREAKING MY HEART.
I thought because you use the word 'pie', it was more like a Calzone lol.
Depends where you get them -- lots of places use different "strength" sauces in terms of spice so you can ratchet it up as hot or as mild as you like. But yeah, they're generally super tangy and that's why they get served with celery and blue cheese, to cool your mouth down! They're traditionally cooked up crispy with a little butter and Frank's Red Hot, which is this:
Frank's has the best slogan in all of American advertising: "I put that sh*t on everything."

DH is on Amazon now looking for a few bottles, he loves hot sauce, and that slogan, that's the best one I've ever heard!
I've got enough recipes to start my own blog on tasting American food. I think i'm going to call it 'My American Adventure' and share my pictures with you!
@cash my DH was just asking me last night to find a recipe and make him chicken and dumplings. We don't really have it here in the northeast so neither of us have had it before.

That's butternut squash different then pumpkin. My mom makes them roasted under the oven but I don't really care for them, I bought one once to make for DS and it was a total bitch to cut up. Now I know why the grocery store sells it peeled and cut into chunks.

I just sent my sister a gallon of franks red hot sauce in Berlin!
I'm a weenie when it comes to pepper spicy.. I do however, love curry spicy
I'm just the same as you. I can not stand hot sauce but I can handle a curry :-/
Make sure you season up the flour for fried chicken . Also, if you soak the chicken overnight in hot sauce and buttermilk, it is AMAZING!! And instead of egg, you can use milk as the liquid you dip into. Also, double dip the chicken. Dip in flour. Dip in liquid. Dip in flour. Mmm'mmm'mm
Also...you must use lard to fry it in. If you use anything else, it just won't be the same. I can seriously tell the difference between chicken fried in lard and vegetable oil...or olive oil. If you want "traditional southern", lard must be involved. Somewhat gross but true.
And I think we just discovered why America has an obesity rate of 65%! Lol. I'm so hungry reading all these posts and I literally JUST ate dinner! Too bad we couldn't each bake or cook something and share amongst the group "George Jetson" style!
It seriously is delicious. I haven't ever made that actual recipe, but Hot Chicken is so good and famous in my part of the country. Google it and you'll find all sorts of info on it.
@KateMW I am desperate to get back to your (our) part of the country...especially after this discussion and the mention of hot chicken. Sigh. Also because there are only 3 more days until college football season.

Can't wait! Which side of our state rivalry do you fall on?
If you get back, go to Dram in MB Village and they have great hot chicken, served on top of a corn pone {corn bread variety for Frankie and non Southerners} with a side of ranch/blue cheese. So yummy!
