To Americans

I think hamburgers are no longer the signature dish as more and more Americans become health conscience. Main dishes are more ethnic now as America is such a mixed bag.

I guess so but many of us are vegetarians and vegans. Fast food is not healthy, that's for sure. I try to stay away from such food. I am rather appalled by what is considered 'normal' to eat in the United States. My menu includes brown rice and sometimes tofu and for sure many kinds of beans, including lentils. What do you eat?

No, I mostly eat vegetables

Yes, there are healthier options.

I dont know if it's the main dish but its one of my favorites

Hot dogs are All American! Not healthy of course.

I wouldnt say they are a main dish but they certainly are popular. Up there with pizza. I dont eat meat, so I tend to eat veggie burgers often. Those are a lot healthier as well!

I think there was a time in our past where hamburgers were a main signature dish for Americans, but so much has changed over time. We are a country of such mixed races/ethnicities/cultures that it's hard to say if we even have a main signature dish anymore. But in the summertime, when barbecues, cookouts and picnics are popular with Americans, hot dogs and hamburgers seem to be the popular choice for cooking on the grill.

From all the fast food places we have in the U.S. you might think so, but Americans try all different foods. My favorite is seafood dishes, not signature but yummy I like my hamburgers also, but enjoy pizza even more. Sometimes you got to live a little, how much chicken, turkey, and fish can one consume without adding a little "spice" to one's tummy
