Although many people see American food as the stereotypical "fast-food", unhealthy, greasy food that we all see in movies or literature, the truth is that there is a wide gastronomic tradition deeply rooted on the contact between natives and colonizers. This blending of ingredients, recipes, tastes...creates a diverse and rich cuisine that is much more profound than it is usually believed.
