North American cuisine is a giant, delicious melting pot built on Indigenous foodways and generations of migration. Corn, beans, squash, salmon, potatoes, wheat, dairy, seafood, barbecue, fried foods, sandwiches, and regional comfort dishes all have a place at the table.

From Mexican and Indigenous traditions to Southern soul food, Cajun and Creole cooking, New England seafood, Canadian specialties, and huge immigrant food scenes, the continent is wonderfully varied. Its best food stories are often about cultures meeting, mixing, and making something completely new.
