The International Buffet

The International buffet. A hallmark of casinos, cruise ships and even some college campuses. Spaghetti and meatballs, nachos, General Tso’s chicken, and to finish it off some German chocolate cake.

Unfortunately the only foreign item might be the intestinal bug you get at the buffet. All the above and many other items that American’s think come from another country really were created here in the good ole USA. Distractify recently highlighted 14 of them:

1. Fortune Cookie
2. German Chocolate Cake
3. Nachos
4. English Muffins
5. Russian Dressing
6. Spaghetti with Meatballs
7. French Dip Sandwich
8. General Tso’s Chicken
9. Cuban Sandiwch
10. Garlic Bread
11. Chimichanga
12. Pasta Primavera
13. Cashew Chicken
14. Vichyssoise
