This is a country where millions of people from all over the world, from Holland to China, moved in during the 18th and 19th centuries.
Each nation brought its own traditions, including recipes for dishes that are still cooked today. You shouldn’t expect American food to taste bland. You will always come across salty, spicy, sour, and peppery dishes, in which the spices will be in moderation, but they will complement the taste of the food.
When traveling around the States, you will definitely encounter something new and unusual. However, remember one phrase for all occasions: it’s not good, it’s not bad — it’s just different. Try unfamiliar dishes, go to restaurants, and cook yourself — this way you will get to know local life from different angles.
