Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

This trendy American candy became big primarily because of World War II, and due to its influence on candy in America, it blew up big time. A Reese's cup is a peanut butter candy surrounded by a chocolate shell, and it's vastly different from a Butterfinger.

Reese's Cups

This candy is unavailable in most parts of Europe, or, if you're lucky enough to find some, it's definitely more expensive. So if you have a friend abroad, show them how much you appreciate them by sending them some Reese's cups.

However, there is no known food that supplies all the needs of human adults on a long-term basis.

The National Dishes of England

There is much dispute about which is truly the English national dish. Number one on the list for many years has been roast beef and Yorkshire puddings followed closely by fish and chips.

Sunday Roast

The Brits love their Sunday Roast dinners. This dish is made up of: roasted meat (beef, chicken, lamb or pork), roast potato, Yorkshire pudding, stuffing, vegetables (usually a selection of: roast parsnips, Brussels sprouts, peas, carrots, beans, broccoli and cauliflower, not necessarily all) and gravy.

So it makes sense that there is no single national dish, or 'traditional American food' but several state foods celebrating the diversity of the 50 states. American food culture is as rich and exciting as the country itself. Take California with its official state fruit; the humble avocado.
