America is famous for many things, one thing is the food. The top ten most popular foods in America are Apple pie, chocolate chip cookies, macaroni and cheese, buffalo wings, tater tots, meatloaf, s’ more, hot dog, grilled cheese sandwich, and ribs. But what about the top three? The top three dishes are apple pie, chocolate cookies, and macaroni and cheese. But why are they so popular, and where did they come from?

Apple Pie

The saying “American as apple pie” is a saying for a reason. Apple pie is America’s favorite dish. Anyone can argue that cherry pie or pumpkin pie is better. But America’s all-time favorite pie is apple. There’s nothing like the tart apple taste inside and the sweet crust around it.

This dish came around by Dutch, Swedish, and British immigrants. They ate this a lot because it was a simple, cheap, tasty treat. During World War II, apple pie became linked to American culture.

Chocolate Chip Cookies 

The history of the chocolate chip cookie is one nobody could ever forget. Ruth Graves Wakefield, the owner of the now-famous Toll House Inn in Massachusetts, whipped up the first batch of these in 1938. Her recipe has graced the back of every bag of Nestle chocolate chips since the 1940s. The original chocolate chip cookies are sold at Two Fat Cats Bakery in Portland, Maine.

Macaroni and Cheese

As popular as the desserts, apple pie and cookies are, macaroni and cheese is a delectable meal. The funny thing is, we have Thomas Jefferson to thank for this delicious dinner. After a trip through Italy, Thomas Jefferson brought a pasta maker and parmesan cheese back to Virginia and famously served as the dish macaroni and cheese.

These are some of the top best American foods that you should definitely try, and love.
