Ordinary American food I have never eaten

fettuccine Alfredo

peanut cups - now, this at least is easy - just to go and buy some. At least I hope one can get those in our store. Otherwise I have to make them...

biscuits and gravy - here's another recipe using ground pork. We don't get that sausage meat. And, of course make sausage patties, fried eggs, and Southern fried apples... and remember to break the biscuits in pieces and put the gravy over them, use the biscuits like potatoes or so, don't break the biscuit open and use it as a scone. It's only idiots or evil people who do that :-D

green bean casserole - now... I'm having second guesses here... it's green beans stewed in cream of mushroom soup and topped with french fried onions... and that doesn't sound good to me at all, not even edible.

I have eaten VERY LITTLE Mexican food - or "Mexican", I don't know how authentic any of this is
tamales
burritos
chimichangas
enchiladas
empanadas
fajitas
churros
tres leches cake

cornbread - Uh, I don't like corn.
polenta or grits - Uh, I don't like corn :-D

girl scout cookies

root beer float - I thought this is what we call ice cream soda, but that is apparently something different... you put in a tall glass some syrup, for example chocolate syrup, a ball of ice cream, some soda water, mix to smooth liquid, fill up with more soda water, put on a ball of vanilla ice cream and serve. Float is putting in a couple of balls of ice cream and filling it up with soda, pop, root beer, "carbonated beverage" of your choice :-D

banana pudding
banana cream pie
coconut cream pie
grasshopper pie
key lime pie - the problem is getting key limes... :-( Apparently one can replace key limes with regular limes and some lemon.

caramel corn

cheese fondue

baklava

eggs Benedict

fried green tomatoes - these have to wait to late summer when there is green tomatoes

plantain - I think Mangú works well for this. I want to try that one.

huevos rancheros or shakshuka

Sandwiches:
Rubens - corned beef, sauerkraut and Russian dressing on rye - I need to make Jewish deli style rye bread and corned beef.
pastrami on rye - rye, mustard, pastrami - so... I suppose I need to make pastrami as well... Hmm... Also, mustard. The USonian mustard seems very thin compared to ours.
Philly cheese steak - chopped steak (ribeye or entrecote in Swedish...) served with American cheese on french roll.
French dip - French roll dipped in beef drippings... so, it must be beef, slow cooked. I suppose my brisket works fine for this :-D

pineapple and cottage cheese
ambrosia

baked brie

chicken pot pie
chicken and waffles
chicken tikka masala
chicken cacciatore
chicken divan
chicken kiev
chicken a la King
chicken tettrazzini
cobb salad
General Tso's
King Pao's chicken

divinity

flatbread pizza

jello salad

Pasta primavera

peanut butter and jelly sandwich

poptarts

rice krispie treats

celery and peanut butter

fig newtons

samosas

poke

poutine - and for this I need to make cheese curds!



Now, it's mostly because I'm not American, but also because I have an aversion to onion, garlic, mushrooms, beans, fish, corn, etc. etc.
