Living as I do in California, I could make a good argument that tacos are actually American food, whereas apple pie and hot dogs are foreign. Corn, beans, chiles, tomatoes - all New World foods.
Good points. We definitely do Americanize foreign food in any case. I remember eating Chinese food at a family of a coworker of my dad’s once and it was totally different than at the restaurants. No jelly fish on the menu at your local takeout restaurant, that’s for sure.
