The influence of American special cultural background on cooking dishes;

The situation in the United States is quite special, with a vast territory and abundant resources and a short history. People from 100 countries and different races immigrated to the United States, with a total population of over 300 million. Among them, there are about 43 million Spanish-speaking residents, about 36 million blacks, and more than10 million immigrants from Asia. Such a large number of foreign immigrants have settled in the United States, making the United States a melting pot of the world's races. Therefore, the formation of American gourmet dishes also comes from this "melting pot".

Influenced by early immigrants (English Puritans and American pioneers), American traditional cuisine, like the traditional Yankees, is characterized by being "rough", eating fresh raw materials, not relying on additives and seasonings, keeping the original flavor of the food, not procrastinating in the cooking process, not complicated work such as roasting, frying and frying, and not paying attention to slow stew (except for a few local dishes). The main structure of American food is 1234 system, just like a triangle. The most important thing is beef, followed by chicken and fish, followed by pigs, sheep and shrimp, followed by bread, potatoes, corn and vegetables.

The western United States is rich in Pacific seafood and all kinds of seafood, the freshest and most diverse fruits and vegetables in the United States, the famous California cuisine and the fusion cuisine with Asian cuisine characteristics. Texan cuisine with Mexican characteristics in the south, Louisiana cuisine with French, Spanish and African characteristics, Florida cuisine in tropical islands of Cuba and Brazil, Chicago cuisine and Pennsylvania cuisine with German, Dutch and Nordic characteristics in the central and western regions, New England cuisine and new york cuisine with British, French and Irish characteristics in the east, and Hawaiian cuisine in the eastern islands of Oceania, the Philippines, Portugal and Japan. ...

Senior chefs in the United States have injected new ideas into dozens of national cuisines around the world, combined the innate advantages of national food culture with the reality of daily life in the United States, and created many fusion cuisines that are adapted to local conditions and complement each other, so that the cuisines of all countries in the world can blend harmoniously, hand in hand and heart in heart, and push the culinary art to a new height.
