Fried chicken with biscuits and gravy and some fried eggs. Hell make a sandwich with it.

Bean soup with a big hamhock and cornbread and plenty of diced onions
Chipped beef on toast
Deer nuggets. IDK how popular it was elsewhere but whenever my dad got a deer we kids would be fed on deer nuggets almost all winter. Just the tougher part of the deer breaded and fried like chicken. Our parents usually ate the better parts as steaks.
Slugburgers. Ground beef with flour or grits. Basically a meatloaf burger.

I’m not brave enough to eat a chocolate covered corn dog. I love corn dogs, but that just sounds gross.

Coleslaw is also a useful condiment (instead of lettuce and onion and tomato) on cheeseburgers too.
That's basically just Salisbury steak which is English food?
You're the first person I've seen anywhere mention slugburgers besides me. I eat them with coleslaw as a topping.

Out of every country America does fruit pies the best. I've tried apple pies in other countries, and they taste like dogshit cause they use barely cut up apples, no seasonings like cinnamon, and the wrong type of crust. Also Chili dogs are fucking great, especially if you know the best places to get them from. Americans are fatasses for a reason, and that's cause our food is the best, and we import good food from other countries.
I do have to admit I have been to China before, and their food is pretty good, but I think they might have served me cooked cat meat at some sketchy food stalls I went to so they get knocked down a peg.

You think all hamplanets get fat off the good homemade shit? I'm more inclined to think it's mcdonalds and cheap shitty pizza combined with the delusion that your weight is out of your control that many low IQ burgers seem to have, which is rather sad.

You have a point. I was thinking about the type of food I think is good, but the Nickado Avocado looking motherfuckers that ride around Walmart in Rascal scooters are probably eating McDonald's on a daily basis.

Hush puppies are good too.

I can opine on the merits of a lot of American staples, like biscuits and gravy, corn bread, chili - really the whole tex-mex thing is pretty uniquely American despite the Mexican influences.
But I'm not going to.
Instead, I'm going to autistically sperg about hamburgers and hotdogs.
Hamburgers and hotdogs are the most quintessentially, spiritually, philosophically American food.
Think about it.
First, you have almost universal cultural penetration. Burgers and dogs can be made from the cheapest of ingredients, or the nicest. They can be the most casual of convenience food, or fine dining - well, burgers more than dogs, but even dogs to some extent. The rich eat them, the middle class eat them, the poor eat them. Kids eat them at parties growing up, people eat them camping, people eat them at backyard barbecues, at sports games, at fairs and festivals. when vegetarian and vegan food started to grow in popularity, no-meat burgers and dogs were some of the first things to achieve market success - and still are very popular in those markets.
Second, they're the epitome of "have it your way"... If I may borrow the Burger King slogan. They're freedom in cuisine form. At their most basic, the archetype of having a burger or a dog is "what do you want on it?"
And they're infinitely malleable, and able to absorb almost any other cuisine and still be good. Every region of America has it's own regional variations of the dish, and there are burgers and dogs that have all sorts of other culture's elements - taco burgers, gyro burgers, kimchi dogs, you name it. You can't "break" a burger or a hotdog. They're so fundamentally simple and perfect at their core, that they'll carry whatever you throw at them like a champ.
And they're nothing unique to us when you get down to it. Ground meat or sausages in rolls. Hardly something exotic. But we made them into something special... And then proceded to refine it down to an easily replicable concept, market them, and spread them all over the world. Where can you go in the world that doesn't have hamburgers and hotdogs? I don't know of any place. Maybe some desert shithole in central Africa or the depths of the rainforests, the top of a mountain in Tibet, some places like that. Otherwise? Nope, can't escape 'em. We are America, you will be culturally assimilated.

Meatloaf. I think the food americans actually make at home doesn't get talked about enough. We have showboat foods like burgers, buffalo wings, etc restaurant stuff. while a lot of americans cook burgers at home it is very much associated with fast food and restaurants.
One popular dish in my home region is the Pittsburgh salad. Pretty much every kid growing up here has had their parents serve this for dinner at some point. It wasn't until I was like 20 that I realized the rest of America didn't also serve fries on salad. The combination of hot fries on iceberg lettuce with steak, cheese and cold RANCH dressing (my mom likes to mix ranch and italian) is god tier. You have all sorts of flavors, temperatures and textures at play. It's fantastic. It is the taste of home.

Further, the burger, hotdog, and their condiments are a nice illustration of American industry. Most things you put on a burger come in at different seasons and would not be available without American innovations like refrigeration and our absurd shipping system.

Chicken/country-fried steak, obviously with a good white pepper gravy, and a side of cornbread, your green of choice, and either home fries or good creamy buttery mashed potatoes.

I can't eat most of the pictured foods. But I do like fries sometimes.
My mom made a lot of cornbread when I was growing up because we were poor and it was cheap.

Mass-produced American cheese gets way too much hate from Eurofags for being marginally worse than mass-produced British cheese.
Cream cheese is a great invention made by the Americans, and New York style pizza, Tex-Mex (mmmm nachos), and other Americanized versions of foreign foods are often better than the 'authentic' thing.
Peanut butter and jelly/jam sandwiches are also nice.
American pumpkin pie, cheesecake and carrot cake are godly, and I wish chocolate chips, canned pumpkin were more common where I live for baking purposes.
Coleslaw didn't originate in the USA, but it's good imo, so it being popular there is a good sign, and helps spread coleslaw and other foods that become popular in America around the world, leading to other countries makings their own version, resulting in more yummy foods.
