List of United States dishes

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Normally, I am a big fan of lists but this is really better handled as a category Rmhermen (talk) 16:23, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as it duplicates category and has no chance of ever truly being completed. besides, couldnt it include any dishes commonly served in america that came from nonwestern cultures: chicken chow mein, goulash, spaghetti, etc. inclusion criteria would be too vague, while category inclusion is easier, as it would be a major quality of the food being american.

 * Delete per WP:SNOW and nom. I agree with Mercurywoodrose that (a) the list would never be completed and (b) too many adopted foods are "American." (How about a New Mexican flat enchilada topped with a fried egg? Or is that a fried pie or a Cornish pasty?) Geoff  TC 22:38, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
