A traditional American breakfast is usually eggs prepared either sunny side up, scrambled, or as an omelet, with either bacon, ham, or sausage, toasted bread (spread with butter, jam, peanut butter, or honey), and hash browns. Pancakes or waffles sprinkled with maple syrup may also be served. Orange Juice and coffee are the most popular drinks.

The most traditional All-American lunch is a burger and fries with a Coke to drink. Other popular options are pizza, Hot Dogs, Sandwiches, salads, and soups.

The most common and traditional dinner is meat with potatoes and another veggie. The meat is almost always beef, poultry, or pork (steak, meatloaf, pork chops, roast, fried chicken, and roasted chicken being the most popular choices). Turkey and fish can be served as well. The potatoes are usually mashed, though they are also commonly baked or roasted. Peas, green beans, carrots, or corn are usually the second vegetable side. Cow's milk and bread with butter is usually served with this meal as well.

Desserts include pie, especially apple (which is an American classic), cookies (chocolate chip is the most common), ice cream, or frosted cake.

While there is no "national American food" there are a number of foods and food categories associated with American culture in contrast to other cultures. There are also a great many regional food specialties unique to the US while none is considered the "national food" on its own examples include BBQ with BBQ ribs specifically being uniquely identified as both unique to the US as a specialty food, but also with regional variations. You might also include roasted turkey as an example as a standard of the US Thanksgiving holiday. While these are two examples, many more could easily be added.

Examples:

  • barbecue
  • apple pie
  • hamburger
  • hot dogs
  • deep dish Pizza
  • blue crab
  • cheesecake
  • clam chowder
  • key lime pie
  • Cobb salad
  • banana splits
  • cornbread
  • Jambalaya
  • chicken fried steak
  • meatloaf
  • grits
  • mac and cheese
  • fortune cookies (not actually Chinese)
  • peanut butter
  • chicken waffles
  • buffalo wings
  • Philly cheese steaks
  • crab cakes
  • disco fries

Americans have come from every nation around the world, and we've adopted the native foods from everyplace. When you ask your friends where you'd like to go out to eat, you're as likely to pick a nationality, such as "Chinese" or "Italian" as to name a particular restaurant or food type.

But "traditional" American food? I think the only genuinely "American" food is pizza. It's difficult to find good pizza in Italy. Small fried patties of ground beef? Those are called by the name of the German seaport; sailors arriving in New York would ask for a ground-beef patty prepared "Hamburg-style" We've refined the "hamburger" and made it our own. Apple pie is, well, "as American as apple pie".
