I consider myself a foodie. Apart from beautiful scenery, food is what excites me the most when I travel. After I visited the 48 contiguous United States, one of the most frequent questions my friends and family asked me was how the food was. America's large portion sizes are well-known in the UK, but I was happy to tell them that every state has its own unique food culture and dishes.
A few food items were extremely memorable to me, while a few stood out for the wrong reasons. For background, I like to try anything once, and I'm not a snob when it comes to food (I've eaten McDonald's in every country I've visited just so I could compare the menu selection and taste). I'm also not a picky eater — I'll eat just about anything once.
Here are my top 10 favorite American food items along with my three least favorite foods I tried.
