I am currently visiting the USA, and before I leave I want to try some food that is “uniquely” american - IE, you can’t really find it outside of the country.

UK stores do tend to have a “USA section” which has a small amount of sweets and other products. But I am wondering what americans specifically missed / couldn’t find in other countries.

As an example - Wendy’s as far as I’ve seen, isn’t local to the UK or at least where I live. So trying that was a “unique american food”, to me.

I’m also in Chicago at the moment, so I made sure to try a proper (real?) Chicago deep dish pizza (loved it, by the way).

Alternatively, any other suggestions of food to try?

Immediate edit - turns out Wendy’s is in some locations in the UK. I just assumed incorrectly!

    They should go to a Waffle House just for the cultural experience, ideally after midnight to see the real wild shit

      They’re in Chicago currently so they’d either have to drive to Missouri or Indiana for Waffle House which would be a crazy move

      Scattered, smothered and covered with fried eggs over medium or sunny side up is worth it.
