When it comes to national cuisine in the United States, the first thing that comes to mind is fast food. But in fact, popular dishes among Americans are poultry and meat with vegetables, vegetable and fruit salads and fruit desserts. In almost every restaurant or cafe, the main course is obligatory served with vegetables included in its price.
Among meat dishes, preference is given to lean meats, which are most often cooked without spices - they are added to taste just before eating. Traditional Seattle dishes are steak and roast beef with blood. A variety of vegetables or potatoes are served as a side dish.
First courses are not very popular in America. If they are ordered, it's mostly broths or pureed soups. And all because Americans drink a lot of drinks. These are various juices, compotes, ginger beer and much more. Moreover, tea is drunk a little less than coffee. Especially in Seattle, where the culture of coffee consumption in the country actually came from. By the way, it's a typically American tradition to drink a glass of iced water before a meal.
Americans also know a lot about desserts. Puddings, pies, cakes, and cookies all come in a variety of variations with different fillings.
