American cuisine has both an exciting and dull side:
My American cuisine section focuses mainly on the better half, the regional and ethnic cuisines. They are the ones sophisticated palates seek.
Click blue links to learn about them:
American cuisine is the most innovative major cuisine on our planet. This is not because Americans cooks are naturally more creative than their counterparts abroad. They're not. A prime reason is the nation's cuisine is relatively new. It is not as encumbered by ironbound culinary rules as in, say, the French and Chinese cuisines. The Americans have more freedom to experiment.
This has been particularly true with the regional Southwestern, Californian and Hawaiian cuisines.
America has so much land suitable for farming that it could support twice its population.
The arable land that could be used for agriculture is not wasted. Much of it is used by the cattle industry (which requires extensive grazing land). This has allowed meat eating to become a significant factor in American cuisine.
America has been a key pioneer in the scientific production of foodstuffs that has increased availability and lowered costs. Some methods have been adopted by other nations.
