苏打饼干上的辣椒芝士酱,生胡萝卜配牧场沙拉酱,炉子上爆的爆米花。美式小吃就是在大家承认饿了之前就吃掉的东西。
精选美式小吃食谱
- Pimento cheese, the right grate — Della Simmons · Oxford, MS · Della: pre-shredded cheese is a confession.
- Ranch dip from scratch — Iris · Hidden Valley, CA · Buttermilk, dill, garlic. The packet was always covering for these.
- Stovetop popcorn, browned butter — Iris · Iowa · Three-quarter cup of kernels. Lid on. Listen for the gap.
- Deviled eggs, classic — Iris · Memphis, TN · Mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, paprika. The sweet pickle is up to you.
- Soft-pretzel bites with mustard — Iris · Philadelphia, PA · Lye-bath if you have the gloves. Baking soda if you don’t.
- Beef jerky, oven-style — Iris · Wyoming · Lean cut, eight hours of low heat, the patience of a road trip.
- Cheese straws, sharp cheddar — Iris · Charleston, SC · A cocktail-hour Southern thing. Crisp, peppery, dangerous in quantity.
- Caramel corn, old-fashioned — Iris · Chicago, IL · Stovetop caramel poured over fresh popcorn. Bake to set.
