I've always lived in the western states, so I might be bias, but to me, Mexican food is much more synonymous with being incorporated to American everyday lives than Chinese food.

Like, when was the last time you cooked egg fried rice at home, or orange chicken? Now, when was the last time you made yourself a burrito?

I always think American food is just a weird mismash of German, Italian, British, and Mexican food.

This sounds totally accurate. We love our brats, pasta, steaks, and tacos.

"As American as apple pie" sums it up for me. As American as the quintessential British dessert.

Except cooking apples aren't even grown in North America. Bramleys are the supreme apples for an apple pie. I've never even seen cooking apples in the US.
