Wouldn't pasta have to make the list?

Well, Taco Bell is not a traditional Mexican food.

Sauerkraut, gyros, spaghetti, lasagna, pizza, tacos, enchiladas, empanadas, sopapillas, sushi. I can think of a zillion more but I'm just wondering...why?

Not trying to be smart, but unless you are eating foods prepared by Native Americans, I would have to say everything originated somewhere else.

It's for yearbook. My team is covering this week and our focus is immigration. I'm doing an inforgraph about popular foods that haven't been American-ized.


Thanks

Pozole, Cabrito, Chiles rellenos, tortas ahogadas, mojarra frita.

That haven't been American-ized? Hmmm. I'd be willing to bet that most "popular" foods HAVE been Americanized- usually what you get in the originating country is nothing like what we eat here.

Yup! Like the Mexican food in most of the restaurants, nothing like the the traditional.

I would agree that most things have been american-ized to suit our palates.

Unless someone is making a native traditional dish at home and following it closely to the letter for authenticity--I don't think you will have much to go on.

Ever had a pizza from Naples (birthplace of pizza)? Basically a plain dough crust with some stewed tomatoes and a few very small chunks of mozzarella made from a water buffalo. I'd say pizza in America has definitely been Americanized. There is no pepperoni here. You ask for it, you will get green peppers and even still,they will look at you funny.

OK,
then it's definitely Pretzels, the only thing you changed is the spelling: They are Brezel in Germany.
