Food in the USA

Chicago-style hot dogs and pizzas

Chicago is famous for deep-dish pizza (thick pizza with generous amounts of toppings), and also the Chicago-style hot dog. These hot dogs are different because they have onions, tomatoes, lettuce, peppers, pepperoni, pickles and sweet relish – but they never have ketchup!

Bagels in New York City

Bagels were invented in Europe, but they were perfected in New York. No visit to the city is complete without trying one. Bagels are small bread rolls made of flour, water and salt. People first boil the bagel dough and then they bake it. You can order bagels with just about anything inside. The most popular choice is schmear (a thick layer of cream cheese).

BBQ in Kansas City

Kansas City has more than 100 barbecue restaurants. If you like meat, a barbecue is the best choice in Kansas, where pork ribs and chicken are two favourites. What makes Kansas City's barbecues original is the style of cooking – people use a special vinegar-based sauce and cook the meat very slowly, partly smoking it.

Green chiles in Albuquerque, New Mexico

Green chiles (chillies in British English) are an essential ingredient for most New Mexicans. They use a green chile-based sauce in a wide range of dishes: green chile stew, enchiladas, burritos ... they even use it with bagels! Green chiles are very hot – so be prepared!
