Okay, so I am posing two questions here and NEED feedback!
1- What is typical American food!?! I can't answer this. I dont' know what would be considered a typical American dish, because you think about majority of our food and it's from somewhere else!
2- Those from Utah, or I suppose that know Utah, what would be a typical dish from Utah?! And DON'T say jello please! Cause let's be honest, jello in all forms (except Mom's Christmas jello) is generally not the best thing in the world!
I am the only American in the Emergency Operations Center at work and they have asked me this second question a few times. I guess the unit has a party every spring where we bring cuisine from our hometown. I couldn't think of anything but casseroles and jello :(
As for the other question, traveling a lot, you get asked this question. I can never answer it. The only thing I think of is Hamburgers and Hot Dogs - your typical BBQ. However, I don't generally eat beef or pork so I would love to think of another American dish!

I think things that the Native American people ate would be considered American food. Like sweet potatoes, corn, etc.. I also think that's where we got hamburgers and hotdogs and stuff. They would hunt. Anyway, hope that helps :) (I miss you girl!)
Oh and for the Utah food.. I looked it up and our traditional state foods are honey, scones, and jello. Ha, ha
i don't have anything technical to back this up, but I've never known anyone from outside of utah that knew what hawaiian haystacks were. But they always like them!
First off, I love that you just left me a bazillion comments on my blog. I absolutely loved it.
Next, an American dish would be the Hamburger. That's about as American as you can get.
As far as Utah, I would say the cheesy potato casserole. It's a Utah staple.
apparently, fluffy pancakes are American. I didn't know that til I moved. Everywhere in Europe, "pancakes" are more like big crepes.
I also agree with Nic about the cheesy potato casserole for Utah. Haven't seen that around anywhere else. Also, root beer is a Utah staple you can't generally get elsewhere. And fry sauce!
