Chicken Parm … “Classic American” dishes

Notjr - You may be interested in the Chicken/Pork Parmo which is a regional “delicacy” in northeast England and appears to have been culturally appropriated from America.

Parmo

We’re having a few days holiday in the northeast in a couple of months. I plan to look out for the parmo. The northeast doesnt have much going for it culinary-wise, so this may be my best bet.

Classic American Palate-Friendly?

I’d add bourbon chicken (the airport kind) and lo mein

Chicken Teriyaki are “Classic American” dishes? LOL

To be fair, he said “teriyaki chicken wraps” - an American abomination if ever I heard of one

@ChristinaM

I think you can probably make the case that chicken parm is a native Italian-American dish.

agreed - it is an “American” dish for sure in that you won’t find it in Italy (eggplant yes, chicken no). I wasn’t around when it came into the culture, but I think it was “invented” here.
