The only reason you can get a hamburger anywhere LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 14/01/2010 01:45:18 PM
is because of the influence of American tourists :P

I know there are other "American" dishes, but you asked for MOST American. Most other dishes are regional in some manner, or something common world wide like "steak".
