The problem with that link is that most of the dishes, while popular in America, weren't originally American. Being a nation of immigrants, most of the USA's food culture is imported. Or at least adapted from foreign cuisines - Europe, China, Africa, S. America. Apple pie existed in England long before America was colonised, for example. And items like "fried chicken" and "fried fish" are universal - not American.

Wikipedia fail again.

True American food is rare. General Tso's Chicken may qualify. It certainly isn't Chinese!
