I am a fan of all greens except collards lol - like you, not crazy about kale, but I love the rest,
especially escarole, pea shoot leaves, gai lan and bok choy.
I have been enjoying great Mexican food here because I know once I am back east, it will be slim pickings...thankfully I can cook Mexican food pretty easily.
Here's how I define American food - it's the standard fare everywhere you go in the US:
Appetizers: chicken wings, fried mozzarella sticks, onion rings, quesadillas (American style), potato skins, pizza rolls
Entrees: any kind of salad with meat thrown on top, hamburgers/cheeseburgers, French dip, club sandwiches,
chicken sandwiches, BLTs, steaks, chicken, fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, chicken fingers, chicken tenders, fish sandwiches, fried fish,
This is what I think of - yuck, when I think of American food, greasy stuff you can get at Applebees as one example.
Life was passing like a hand waving from a train I wanted to be on
