I am currently visiting the USA, and before I leave I want to try some food that is “uniquely” american - IE, you can’t really find it outside of the country.
UK stores do tend to have a “USA section” which has a small amount of sweets and other products. But I am wondering what americans specifically missed / couldn’t find in other countries.
As an example - Wendy’s as far as I’ve seen, isn’t local to the UK or at least where I live. So trying that was a “unique american food”, to me.
I’m also in Chicago at the moment, so I made sure to try a proper (real?) Chicago deep dish pizza (loved it, by the way).
Alternatively, any other suggestions of food to try?
Immediate edit - turns out Wendy’s is in some locations in the UK. I just assumed incorrectly!
Thanks for all the suggestions!!
Not exactly food, but root beer. I’ve been many places and it is definitely an uniquely America thing. Don’t do barqs or mug, maybe a&w if you can’t find IBC (my personal easier to get choice) or a Boylan’s or Stewart’s. If
You can also try the extra uniquely american soda sasparilla. Its a close relative to root beer.
I’m a fan of birch beer. Though that’s hard to find even in most places outside of Pennsylvania
Polar birch beer is common in NJ to New England. Boylans makes two kinds in NJ.
