Sure I do... but it's not a common knowledge...
You asked very particular question and now want a wild guess?
I want the respondents to define the terms according to their own interpretations of them. If you consider most of the food you eat to be of an imported culture, then answer accordingly. Most people don't seem to be having much trouble with this concept.
Since we are a young country, I feel like we don't have that kind of 'cuisine' tradition, the famous ones are usually snacks. Many of them are really, really good though so I have them quite often.
But they are really unhealthy, the calories are sky high, more often than not really greasy, sweet, or salty lol.
Our diet is also quite Westernised so I have typical Western food all the time as well. I also eat a lot of Japanese, Thai, and Cantonese food. They are so amazing.
Most of the food I eat at home is Portuguese (my home country) but sometimes I can have some foreign dishes. When I go out I mostly eat foreign foods (mainly Italian, Chinese, Japanese or have some French pastries).
I eat home cooked food every day. Often times it's a fusion of Portuguese and American regional(California, Southern Food especially), I also eat some home cooked Mexican/American food. I don't eat out a lot but usually it's either Japanese, Mexican or a Steak House.
Eating beans with rice with some kind of meat and vegetables almost every day is the typical brazilian meal. And I do it frequently too. It's also commom to trade it for some pasta ocasionally. One day of the week (this day varies from city to city, here in Petrópolis is on fridays) we eat Feijoada, that is bean baked with pieces of pork, with rice, cabbage, farofa and pieces of orange.

There are many others regional dishes. I like those from Bahia, that are versions of african dishes, like Bobó de Camarão.

American snacks like french fries, hamburger and hot dogs are also very commom in Brazil, but we usally adapt them. Our hot dogs are not only bread and sausage, but also have olives , quail egg ,farofa, peas, grated carrot , grated beets , potato chips, and so on...

There are many, many more brazilian food or snack that I like a lot.
I love feijoada and all of the fresh fruit in Brazil!
I went to a farm in southern Brazil and had fresh home made sausage, pork, grass fed steak, potato salad w/homemade mayo and mandioca(yucca). All food was from the farm- amazing food, so good.
I eat lots of stews, salads, and beans with Mexican and Asian adaptations. Vegetarian tacos, meat and potatoes in a chipotle sauce, stir fried veggies w/ginger & lime, Mexican soups and ramen soups.
I have totally embraced the California 'green' movement healthy lifestyle- I love going to the farmers market, picking my fresh fruits and veggies, and getting creative with them.

I live in Northern Ireland. The food I eat can only be described as Anglo/Western. I don't really eat any food that would be considered different to any of the other anglo countries.

Sometimes (mostly for holidays) I will cook traditional Polish, German, Russian or Jewish dishes.
What exactly is traditional American cooking?? Native Indian cuisine?
I love the way some people like to pretend that there is no such thing as American cusine.What planet are you on?
