My Top Ten Favourite American Foods

People often ask me what I miss most from home and my answer is always the same: the food.

It’s almost guaranteed that 30% of my luggage contains food from home (mostly because the other 70% is not allowed).

I’m very much a creature of habit when it comes to food so I’m not particularly keen when it comes to trying new kinds of food. Fortunately for me, I have friends who can be very persuasive when it comes to getting me to try new things (sometimes unfortunately for me e.g. Taco Bell – not a fan).

That being said, here are my ten favourite American foods in order:

Disclaimer: ALL THESE FOODS ARE CONSIDERABLY UNHEALTHY. #sorrynotsorry

1. Flaming hot Cheetos: Favourite. Favourite. Favourite.

2. Panera: I never knew bread bowls were a thing, and now I can’t get enough!

3. Thanksgiving dinner: I needed some extra persuading to try Turkey, but it instantly became a favourite of mine. 

4. Chicago-style pizza: It’s like a pie…but it’s a pizza!

5. Cheese fries: The one thing they served in the dining hall that I truly enjoyed.

6. Chipotle: I can’t put into words the wonderfulness I feel when eating it.

7. Chicago-style popcorn: Carmel popcorn + Cheese popcorn = Heaven in your mouth.

8. Pumpkin pie: Wow, just wow.

9. Cheez-it: My ultimate go-to study snack.

10. Bagels: Only to be eaten with jalapeño cream cheese!
