2. AMERICAN FOOD
So “What is American food?” It might best be described as a collection of different kinds of
food that originated from other parts of the world, but that has been adapted. As American
culture is made up of a wide variety of individual, original cultures, American food is made up
of a wide variety of dishes that come from those cultures. For example, restaurants featuring
Mexican, Italian, and Chinese cuisine are very common in the U.S., even in small towns. It is
important to understand that although these kinds of cuisines are called Mexican, Italian,
Chinese, etc., the flavors, ingredients, and kinds of dishes may be quite different from what is
found in Mexico, Italy, or China.

3. TURKEY
The turkey is one of the most
famous birds in North America, In
fact Benjamin Franklin wanted to
make wild Turkey , not the bald
eagle the national bird of the U.S.
The turkey popularity comes from
the American’s people love of eating
the bird for the special occasions
like Thanksgiving and Christmas.

4. STEAK
Steak, a delicious food, national
pastime, and very convenient excuse to
clear rainforest land to cultivate cow
grazing fields. The mere existence of
Steak is something we Americans take
for granted. Oh, They appreciate the
tender meat, the explosion of flavor, the
red releasing from around the knife’s
first incision of a perfectly medium rare
steak helping satiate both our hunger
and our relentless blood lust. They
marvel as steakhouses bring giant
hunks of meat from even larger animals
while charging a massive fee.

6. AMERICAN SPORTS
Sports are an important part of culture in the United States of America. American football is
the most popular spectator sport to watch in the United States, followed
by baseball, basketball, ice hockey, and soccer, which make up the "five major
sports". Indoor American football , rugby union, Cricket, tennis, golf, auto
racing, softball, lacrosse, field hockey, water polo, and mixed martial arts, among others, are
also somewhat popular sports played in the country.

7. BASEBALL
Baseball is a bat-and-ball game played between two
opposing teams, typically of nine players each, that
take turns batting and fielding. The game proceeds
when a player on the fielding team, called the pitcher,
throws a ball which a player on the batting team tries
to hit with a bat. The objective of the offensive team
(batting team) is to hit the ball into the field of play,
allowing its players to run the bases, having them
advance counter-clockwise around four bases to
score what are called "runs". The objective of the
defensive team (fielding team) is to prevent batters
from becoming runners, and to prevent
runners' advance around the bases. A run is scored
when a runner legally advances around the bases in
order and touches home plate (the place where the
player started as a batter). The team that scores the
most runs by the end of the game is the winner.

8. BASKETBALL
basketball, game played
between two teams of five
players each on a rectangular
court, usually indoors. Each
team tries to score by tossing
the ball through the opponent’s
goal, an elevated horizontal
hoop and net called a basket.

9. AMERICAN MUSIC
From folk songs to patriotic anthems, jazz to rock and roll, popular music has long expressed
what it means to be American. Its cultural role expanded dramatically in the 20th century, as
new technologies enabled music produced by local communities to be shared with and
adapted for broader audiences.
As a product of various traditions, talents, and techniques coming together in harmonious but
also contentious ways, popular music is truly the soundtrack of the American experience.

10. CLASSICAL MUSIC
American classical music is
music written in the United
States in the European classical
music tradition. In many cases,
beginning in the 18th century, it
has been influenced by American
folk music styles; and from the
20th century to the present day it
has often been influenced by
American folk music and
sometimes jazz.

11. HIP - HOP
Hip hop music or hip-hop music, also known as rap music, is a genre of popular
music developed in the United States by inner-city African Americans, Latino
Americans and Jamaicans in the Bronx borough of New York City in the 1970s. It consists of a
stylized rhythmic music that commonly accompanies rapping, a rhythmic and rhyming speech that
is chanted. It developed as part of hip hop culture, a subculture defined by four key stylistic
elements: MCing/rapping, DJing/scratching with turntables, break dancing, and graffiti
writing. Other elements include sampling beats or bass lines from records (or synthesized beats
and sounds), and rhythmic beatboxing. While often used to refer solely to rapping, "hip hop" more
properly denotes the practice of the entire subculture .The term hip hop music is sometimes used
synonymously with the term rap music,[though rapping is not a required component of hip hop
music; the genre may also incorporate other elements of hip hop culture, including
DJing, turntablism, scratching, beatboxing, and instrumental tracks.
