Here's a few more...
Fried Chicken
Ice cream cones (invented at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904)
Sweet Tea!
Pecan Pie

And my Word Verification is "patio." I don't know that Americans came up with patios, but we have developed a tradition of using them well!

Me, too. Whenever I have to fill out a quiz or something that asks for my favorite TV show, I write Charlie Brown Specials.

My sweetheart got me a set of Peanuts plates that I alternate displaying on the mantle each month, and a cute charm bracelet...

Can't get enough of them--especially Snoopy!
