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".

If one can get a burger anywhere, how does it make it less American? Tom - 14/01/2010 02:59:12 PM 1017 Views
