What are some must-try American dishes for foreigners?

[Ggier]

Visiting the US for the first time next month and want to experience real American meals beyond just burgers and fries. What regional specialties should be on my food bucket list? Looking for authentic home-style dishes, not just restaurant fare.

You're in for a treat! American meals vary wildly by region - try New England clam chowder, Southern shrimp & grits, or Midwest hotdish.

My personal favorite is the Louisiana gumbo recipe - takes all day to make but worth every minute. Don't skip the classic apple pie either!
