What to make for an All-American meal in France?

I’m spending my semester with a host family in France and they all really want me to cook an American meal. I want to, but I have no idea what to make. I need a main course, side dishes, and a dessert.

So what do you all think would be a unique, typical, American meal? (fyi: I’m from New York State, I know the region frequently matters on this. For example, though awesome, I’m not going to make creole food, that’s not something I would have back in the states.)

Any suggestions are welcome!

All of the people who answered have very creative answers, but fail to realize that some if not all there suggestions are impossible in France, they do sell the crap that is normal in the US, I would go for the apple pie, but use a selection of french apples, fried chicken is another idea, even a spaghetti with meat sauce, Europeans are not familiar with the US style meat sauce or meatballs.

I am a former chef from Canada and cooked in Hotels and was in France for awhile in the mid 1990′s, and try something that is easy and you can handle, if you could get you hands on some smoked deli meat to make a reuben sandwich there is another idea, but US style corned beef and pastrami is hard to come buy but french cooked ham would be a good substitute.


okayy so im kindof on a diet and trying to eat anything under 300 calories but my family is going to a …?

sports bar for dinner. What would be under 300 calories? I was thinking a turkey burger w/ just ketchup on a bun. heres the rest of the menu and im not a big fan of salads or soups or things w/ alot of vegetables or seafood…

Betty’s Cajun Red Beans and Rice Recipe

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a zesty dish from the Deep South, Cajun Red Beans and Rice. This recipe makes a large amount, and it can be used as the main course of a meal. It is composed of a sauce made from red beans, vegetables, and spices, and it is served over a hot bed of white rice. Add a wedge of hot, tasty cornbread, and it tastes wonderful!

Ingredients:

(2) 15.5 oz. cans red beans, undrained (You may use pinto beans, kidney beans, chili beans—but no beans that have been already flavored with spices.)
½ stick butter or margarine, melted
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped onion
½ cup sliced green onion
½ cup chopped green bell pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
5 oz. diced cooked ham (I used Hormels canned smoked ham, but you may use leftover ham chunks.)
¼ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons Creole seasoning
¾ teaspoon hot sauce (Tabasco or any type of hot pepper sauce may be used.)
1 cup water
2 cups hot, cooked white long grain rice

Saute 1 cup chopped celery, 1 cup chopped onion, ½ cup sliced green onion, and ½ cup chopped green pepper in ½ stick melted butter or margarine until tender. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic, 2 cans of red beans, 5 oz. diced cooked ham, ¼ teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons Creole seasoning, ¾ teaspoon hot sauce, and 1 cup water. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. While the red bean sauce is cooking, prepare your white rice. When ready to serve, arrange 2 cups of hot white rice on a large serving dish. Spoon bean mixture over the top, and serve immediately. If you like red beans and rice, this is a very flavorful version that you are sure to enjoy!

American food preferences?

Which American cuisine do you like the best? Here are the options:
~ New England (clam chowder, boiled dinners, baked beans, lobster, maple syrup, etc.)
~ New York Deli style (mostly German/Jewish cuisine)
~ Pennsylvania Amish (doughnuts, egg noodles, etc.)
~ Southern (Chesapeake seafood, BBQ, Smithfield ham, Low Country, Cajun/Creole, Appalachian, cornbread, biscuits, grits, blackberry cobbler, etc.)
~ Southwestern (AKA Tex-Mex)
~ Midwestern (basic meat and potatoes type dishes, Chicago deep dish pizza, Pierogies, etc.)

This is done out of boredom, just curious.

Southern all the way! I love me some BBQ sauce! And potoatoes. And cornbread. And biscuits. And steak. And butter. And corn. And blackberry stuff. And cotton. And grits.
