Here in Texas we have a juxtaposition of several sorts of food that are commonly eaten (pretty much by everyone, regardless of ethnicity):
1. Tex Mex - YUM. Lots of beans, rice, cheese, corn tortillas, avocado, beef, chicken, cabbage, cilantro, pork, red and green sauces, hot sauce...WOW. Tons of flavor...and tons of calories. Beer to wash it down, or a margarita (or three). Dessert - hot sopapillas with honey drizzled over them.
2. BBQ - the smoky, sweet, wet sort. Ribs are especially popular, often served with potato salad, cole slaw, red beans, sliced onions, pickles, a couple of pieces of "light bread"...and plenty of beer. Dessert -apple or blackberry cobbler with ice cream.
3. Southern/soul food - collard or turnip greens, cornbread, chicken, corn on the cob, cabbage, black eyed peas, chicken and dumplings, chitlins, mashed potatoes and gravy, chicken-fried chicken or steak, green beans cooked with a big ham hock or fatback, with pitchers full of sweet iced tea with fresh lemon. Dessert - bread pudding with rum sauce - or maybe a lemon icebox pie...or maybe a buttermilk pie...
That being said, Texas has a lot of very large metro areas that are full of immigrants from literally all over the world. Even in the small town that I live in, we have several Pho restaurants, a couple of fabulous Thai restaurants, French Mediterranean, South American (Brazilian), as well as several Asian markets. Houston and Dallas have much greater variety.
Tonight...I had a baked sweet potato, a side of Greek yogurt, and iced tea...with a chai latte for dessert. Yesterday I had pho for dinner. So...go figger.
Do people in Western Europe and America eat buckwheat groats? Here, in Eastern Europe, it's a common food.
I love (roasted) buckwheat and buy it in Jewish section in our supermarket. I am eating other grains as well, but some are hard to get, except in ethnic stores. Not sure why people in my area don't eat much of whole grain, they seem to enjoy refined grains more...

Top one is close to what I eat. I eat fajitas, burritos and quesidillas regularly. I am obsessed.
