Ua ʻike paha ʻoe i nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻAmelika ma mua o ka manawa hoʻokahi e ʻākoakoa ai ka ʻohana holoʻokoʻa ma kahi pākaukau nui a leʻaleʻa i ka ʻaina awakea me nā kīʻaha kulina.
Inā huikau mākou i ka ʻano o ia mau mea ʻono, a laila no ka hapanui o ko ʻAmelika he meaʻai a maʻa mau kēia. ʻO ka mea mua, pono ʻoe e hoʻomaopopo i ke kumu o ka makemake nui ʻia o ka kulina maʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia nā India, ka lāhui ʻōiwi o ʻAmelika, nāna i hoʻohuli i kēia huahana i mea nui o kēlā me kēia pā. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻo ke aniau o ka US Midwest ka mea i makemake nui ʻia no ka ulu ʻana o ka kulina, ʻo ia ke kumu e noho nei ka ʻāina i kahi kūlana alakaʻi i kāna hua.
ʻAe, ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi a maʻalahi hoʻi e ulu i kāu huahana ponoʻī ma mua o ka lawe ʻana mai mai nā ʻāina ʻē. ʻAʻohe mea kānalua, ua aʻa maikaʻi ke kulina i ka meaʻai kūloko pū kekahi. Eia kekahi, hiki iā ʻoe ke kuke i nā ipu he nui mai ia mea, mai nā pōpō pālahalaha a i nā popcorn punahele a punahele loa i waena o nā keiki. Ma ke ala, i nā hale kiʻi ʻoniʻoni e ninini mau ʻia ka popcorn me ka aila ma luna, kahi e lilo ai ka mea ʻono i mea kiʻekiʻe loa i nā calories. Eia hou, makemake ka poʻe ʻAmelika i ka palaoa i hoʻolapalapa ʻia, a mākaukau lākou e ʻai ia i kēlā me kēia manawa o ka makahiki. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ma kahi o ka paʻakai a mākou e maʻa ai, makemake hou lākou i ka waiūpaka.
Mai poina e pili ana i ka berena - ke ʻano nui o kēlā me kēia ʻaina ʻAmelika. Eia naʻe, ma kahi o ka palaoa maʻamau, hoʻohana ʻia ka palaoa kulina i kāna hoʻomākaukau ʻana. Kaulana nui nā ʻano pika kulina a me nā casserole i waena o nā ʻAmelika.
E like me kāu e ʻike ai, ʻo kahi mamao loa o ka meaʻai ʻAmelika mai kā mākou mau manaʻo monotonous. ʻAe, aloha ka lehulehu i nā hamburger a me nā meaʻai momona, akā ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo ka mea ʻai ʻAmelika he nui a waiwai. I kēlā me kēia ʻaha ʻaina he wahi mau no ka palaoa kuʻuna.
