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!
North Carolina BBQ (it’s a vinegary-mustard BBQ sauce). When I’m in the mood, I can put that sauce on almost anything.
Man, you ain’t kidding. I have family all over the south, but NC pit cooked bbq with the vinegar sauce (the mustard or spiced version) is the best BBQ anywhere, and I’ll fight on that hill
