American food

[F1Princess29]

I am having some friends round for the USA GP next Sunday, what sort of party food, that is typically American can I serve?

Americans love to eat; they are not fussy eaters and will eat just about anything unless they might be vegetarians. I think it would be nice to serve them British cuisine instead since the eat American foods all the time.

Why not do a barbie? Baby Back ribs, Slaw and Cornbread and baked sweet potato. Some Steaks and then a New York cheesecake to finish!

I think Princess is having a themed meal rather than having Americans over. I could be wrong though, it has been known........

Mini hamburgers, hot dogs, french fries (skinny chips) would all go down well!

American here:) Princess, if you can give us some idea of what part of the USA your guests come from, I might be able to come up with some ideas that will work for you.

How about some tex-mex stuff? Plenty of it in the supermarkets.

Few suggestions, in no order - succotash, rice and beans, ribs, grits, pumpkin pie, apple pie, jambalaya, file gumbo, tortillas, Italian subs, chili con queso, key lime pie, waldorf salad, coleslaw, corn bread, chowder, cornbread, shrimp kabobs, meatloaf, onion rings, muffins, any pizza....suppose it depends on what part of the US your chums think is 'typical' - quick trip to the Taco Bell and Krispy Kreme might be in order........

Mix of tex-mex and other stuff might do. Don't forget the beers and sodas, loads of chips and dips....

Get some pigs trotters to gnaw on. Trust me they are great.
