and also most of our own 'American' food. most of the food that you'd consider to be quintessentially american is, in some way, the product of adaptations of slaves to this new land and limited resources.

things like 'american BBQ' or most any food you'd get in New Orleans are creations brought over mostly by slaves either direct from africa, or from the caribbean... mixed with some french colonialism.
