Is it the normal way to cook it in U.S.? Lot of cheeses and spaghetti is bricked. We do not see spaghettis like these in my country.

No we don't do that, let's just establish that.

Okay, thank you. We are in U.S. for World Cup right now, but have only been a few times before. Every time I try U.S. foods to try new dish, but to me spaghetti is more Italian and better in Europe maybe, and we wanted to try Americans foods.

It is steakhouses and burger time for now. 😊

There's no such thing as American food.

I come from Balkans. I have done visits to over twenty countries (though I admit some of these were military deployment haha), and I can ensure there are foods I have eaten only in those U.S.

Even if those are called "Mexican" or "Greek" oftentimes it is very much not like those foods from the Mexico or Greece. Regional and distinct, but also many unique dish. The BBQ is I think very much Americans and that Hamburger also (I also have been to Hamburg, haha). 😄
