Basically a vehicle for maple syrup and a host of other yummy ingredients, this is one food that can't be found everywhere you go.

Mac n' cheese

[{"selector":"#anim-d9d159da-bab0-46ba-b16c-558f4ebbd233","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-42ef5b78-5644-4d14-8846-a435bf01162f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5e1a6189-92c5-401c-bedd-d679c66732bd","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -1130.05068%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Not just macaroni and cheese in general, but KRAFT mac n' cheese. A package of cheese-flavored orange preservatives and noodles just screams America.

Spaghetti and meatballs

[{"selector":"#anim-9d3bd4b4-5e75-458d-ae39-4e86b99cc127","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c56ad077-5f4b-4321-a3a2-e91e7c5ef0c1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dca5f52e-2c7b-4d9e-8cb0-e6f98193d985","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -666.52795%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Although we tend to associate spaghetti and meatballs with Italian food, you will not find this dish in Italy. This classic comfort food is all-American.

Hot dog

[{"selector":"#anim-2f2be696-7315-4900-baf5-e10ed2d7956a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b5fcca41-40d8-4036-ae6d-2f2a36d7733f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7f1591bf-eeae-4d7e-8e4f-de096421dcce","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -1130.05068%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] If you ever leave the US, be prepared to have many conversations with people who assume that all Americans eat are hot dogs and hamburgers.
