For years, the United States has been called a melting pot, a place where different individuals or groups of people are mixed together. And the country’s food preferences show that. Many Americans learn about and enjoy different cultures through food. One study shows that Mexican food is the most popular ethnic food in the largest number of states. It is especially popular on the U.S. West Coast. But Chinese food is the top ethnic food nationwide.
