Is it true that Americans eat deep fried potatos every day? Do you consider ketchup a vegetable?(from Europe)?

Deep fried potatoes are called French fries here. All the hamburger joints serve them and every other restaurant. Ketchup/catsup is considered a condiment. We eat it with fries.

When I eat beans and cornbread, I pour ketchup over the beans and the cornbread.  But if I have them separately, I wouldn't think of using ketchup.

peanut butter is relativly unique to the usa, pb & j sandwiches. \n\ni am assuming you mean "what are 10 things americans eat that others do not!"

We bring our own ingredients and toss it in the sink. Romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes and coarsely grated parmesan. Served on wet paper towels.\n\nSadly, Americans tend to indulge in salad fights.

I don't know why.  You have a good point. I usually state that I am a New Yorker.  If I answer a question and they ask if I am an American I will answer yes but I always state that I am a New Yorker.  My g/f is from Holland.  My family has a tendency to state shes European.  No she's Dutch first. Europe is a big place.  Just as America is.  Need to be more specific in my opinion. People have been known to generalize.  And I for one dont like to be generalized so I help clarify where I am from.

It's the race. Who said we don't eat enough veggie and short of waters?\n\nMy opinion is the opposite. Asian eats lots veggies, got more varieties because of the climate. And rain..? Most of Asians live in tropical country. Got enough sunshine and never short of rain. \n\nAsians are shorter, part of the reasons might be the genetics, the food --europeans and americans rarely eat rice, eat lots of red meat eg. see how the japanese got hundreds variety of veggie, they even eat flowers!-- and also the climate.

I read that 1 out 8 Americans will work at Mcdonald's once in their lifetime.The average American will eat three hamburgers and four orders of fries this week. 90% of American children between ages three and nine will stop at a McDonald's this month. 12% of American workers have gotten a paycheck from McDonald's. \n\n10 percent of the American boy's calories come out of a soda can. If you can say "two all-beef patties special sauce lettuce cheese pickles onions on a sesame seed bun," and most of us can, you know how the selling of fast food has become part of the culture. \n\nBut did you know that the beef flavor comes from a chemical factory in New Jersey? Or that McDonalds, with more than 8000 private playlands, has transformed the art of marketing to children? Fast food has retooled our diets, but also the landscape of ranching and labor relations and real estate development.\n\nYou have to be especially careful when you eat in fast food restaurants. As the consumption of unhealthy This year Americans will spend over $110 billion on fast food more than they'll spend on movies, books, magazines, newspapers, videos, and recorded music combined.\n\n\n\n\nEvery day about one quarter of the U.S. population eats fast food.\n\n\n\n\nRoughly 12% of all American workers have worked at McDonald's.\n\n\n\n\nThe golden arches are now more widely recognized than the Christian cross.\n\n\n\n\nChildren often recognize the McDonald's logo before they recognize their own name.\n\n\n\n\nAmerican children now get about one quarter of their total vegetable servings in the form of potato chips and French fries.\n\n\n\n\nThe typical teenage boy in the United States now gets about 10% of his daily calories from soda.\n\n\n\n\nThe rate of obesity among American children has doubled since the late 1970s.\n\n\n\n\nA fast food soda that sells for $1.29 costs the restaurant about ten cents, a markup of more than 1200 percent.\n\n\n\n\nMcDonald's is now the nation's largest purchaser of beef, pork, and potatoes. It is the second-largest purchaser of chicken in the U.S.\n\n\n\n\nHundreds of local slaughterhouses used to supply the United States with beef; today thirteen large slaughterhouses supply most of the nation's beef.\n\n\n\n\nA typical fast food hamburger contains meat from dozens or even hundreds of cattle.\n\n\n\n\nBecause fast food is so highly processed, much of its flavor is destroyed, so the tastes of most fast food are manufactured at a series of special chemical plants in New Jersey.\n\n\n\n\nChicken McNuggets contain beef additives, while McDonalds French fries derive some of their flavor from "animal products."

Lots of countries have the image of America as being all about consumption.  The french especially are often amazed by how much Americans eat, they can't believe portion sizes in restaurants for example.  They also feel that Americans in general do not have a strong sense of culture/history/art and takes a narrow view of world issues and events, based on our national self interest and wish for instant gratification.\n\nPoorer or developing countries often look at the general prosperity of America and its power and wonder why this country doesn't do more to help the rest of the world with problems like poverty, disease, etc.  It is true America does some, but very little in fact in proportion to its wealth.  In many other cultures there is a strong expectation that those who have a lot must support those who are in need, so America is often perceived as a selfish country.\n\nHope this helps but make sure you use your own words to do your report.

I doubt it. Indian food is very different from American food. Indians eat a different kind of snack from Americans. Many Indians are vegetarian. Indians in European countries always complain that European food doesn't taste of anything. I don't think the standard Kentucky Lumps of Lard product would have much of a chance.

Not all Japanese food is healthy. Mo chi is not very healthy nor is tempura anything. The items you think of are prepared with less frying than fast food or country cooking. No cheese is another big factor in making a diet healthier. There is not the portion distortion found in most American cooking. Fish is fantastic, especially when fresh and left plain so it's natural flavors rule.

Bacon works well. As does a "full English fry up." You've not lived until you've had one of those. Bacon, sausages, beans, fried tomatoes, fried mushrooms, hashed browns and fried eggs all served up with a Cockney smile. i.e cigarette and tea stained.

If no-one wants to help you, I'll do it. Btw, I live in the Netherlands, so if your answers are wrong then the teacher hates you ;-) .\n\n1. Common Houses: Terraced houses (is that the good translation for a row of houses which are connected to each other?)\n2. Ethnic foods: Vegetables like cauliflower, asparagus, cabbage. We also eat quite a lot of fish (some even raw, which scares a lot of foreigners :-P) like herring, salmon, etc. We eat the vegetables mostly with potatoes and grease.\nWe have some very nice untranslatable sorts of cookies and pastries, like stroopwafel (syrup waffle if you like), duivenkater, bossche bollen, etc.\n3. As our pet we usually have cats and dogs, but if you drive through the country you will see a lot of cows, pigs, horses and sheep.\n4. Trees: The willow, beech, elm, ash tree, etc.\n5. I don't know what you count as a utensil, but that would be clogs/wooden shoes, i guess.\n6. clothes see http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?p=frau+antje&ei=UTF-8&fr=sfp&x=wrt\n\nThis is of course how it was in the past, nowadays we have international influences in our food, animals, plants and we wear different clothes :-D.\n\nI hope I helped you with this! (you're welcome ;-) )
