American cooking uses (nearly) every ingredient you can think of. The only things you won't find here are some very, very regional foods that we may not accept as things we would eat but really, those are rare and hardly worth a mention. I've lived outside of the country and found some things elsewhere that I crave here and cannot find but they're related more to a brand of food not necessarily a "type" of food. In general, though, if I can read between the lines of your question: a typical American meal would contain a salad or soup, a meat of some kind (or fish), a starch like potatoes, rice or pasta, a cooked vegetable (the most common are corn, green beans, squash, peas, carrots, and a few others like brussel sprouts, etc). Dessert is fairly common and is usually ice cream, cake, pie, fruit with topping, or a prepared dessert like pudding or a gelled dish. I believe most nutritionists would say that we use too much salt, too much white sugar, and aren't balanced in our eating. We're coming around, though, and more restaurants are offering food that isn't so heavily salted, is made with fresh ingredients, and has more focus on excellent quality. We eat a lot of melted cheese which isn't necessarily a good idea but it sure tastes good. And we drink too little red wine which I'm trying to remedy all by myself...
