Difference between American and U.K. food?

I’ve got some friends from England coming to stay with me in the United States. I’d like to cook them some typically American meals, and since they’ll be at my house I’ll be cooking. The problem is, so much of American dishes are variations from existing European meals. I’ve been looking the differences up, but they seem to run together; except for obvious differences like Welsh rabbit, Irish stew ect.

Any suggestions on what I should cook? I’m a Northerner so I don’t cook much Cajun food or Southwest/Mexican dishes. The only spicy Cajun dish I cook is Cajun fettuccine alfredo.

I’ve came up with some potential dishes that tend to be more American or at least have a different take of the meal than in Europe. How do any of these sound?:

Barbecued ribs and mashed potatoes
Parmesan baked chicken
Chicken cordon bleu casserole (ham, chicken, cheddar and noodles)
Pot roast w/ potatoes and carrots
That Cajun fettuccine alfredo
Hamburgers and fries or baked potatoes
Not really cooking, but have the ingredients to make their own tacos
Peach or apple cobbler
Grasshopper pie! (mint ice cream pie)

Any of these sound American enough for you? Thanks for your help!

What Is The Relation Between Cajun Foods And African Americans?

There was a time I asked my friend what type of food most African-Americans enjoyed to eat and he told Cajun foods. Not surprisingly, I hear this answer from the majority of people whom I ask. Why is this so?
