A potato chip (often just chip, or crisp in British and Irish English) is a thin slice of potato that has been either deep fried, baked, or air fried until crunchy. They are commonly served as a snack, side dish, or appetizer. The basic chips are cooked and salted; additional varieties are manufactured using various flavorings and ingredients including herbs, spices, cheeses, other natural flavors, artificial flavors, and additives.

Chicken is one of the most widely consumed foods on the planet, being eaten everywhere from Cambodia to Costa Rica. However, there’s something deliciously distinct about American fried chicken. It’s particularly eaten in the South, where African slaves introduced their spices to a deep-frying method popular in Scotland. This combination of Scottish and West African cuisine created a delectable treat that’s still loved to this day.

Like the cheeseburger, this didn’t originate in the United States but was imported from Germany. No one knows sausages quite as well as the Germans. In fact, they’ve been eating these frankfurters since the 13th Century. The hot dog first became popular in New York, where it was an easy and quick food to serve at baseball games. Since then, it’s become one of the most commonly-served street foods across the entire nation.

Juicy, oozing with melted cheese, and topped with the most mouthwatering ingredients, a cheeseburger is one of the most divine and satisfying meals.  It didn’t originate in America. It was brought to the country by immigrants in the form of a hamburger that was created in the German city of Hamburg.

The food was then popularized by fast-food restaurants. There’s even a National Cheeseburger Day, held on September 18.
