Umm, the USA invented what many know as Mexican food - TexMex. That's an entirely US invention, made by blending Native American cuisine with that of Spain and the native South Americans, along with some new elements. The result, the cuisine of the Southwest, is American. Many of America's contributions to cuisine are the USA blending and mixing styles to create something new. But that's really it, aside from California cuisine, Florida cuisine, barbecue, Southern cuisine, Cajun cuisine, Creole cuisine, pretty much all soul food, fast food, and Hawaiian cuisine . . . oh wait, that's, like, a lot.

Also, the USA is pretty much the forefront on molecular gastronomy and emerging fusion cuisine(though Australia shares a lot of the fusion cuisine pie), and is generally a place where the best chefs in the world go to house their outrageously expensive restaurants, so it's an important area for modern cuisine.

Really, if you think about it, the USA has contributed a lot to the cuisine of the world, simply because of all the different cultural regions here. While most of the cuisines of the USA aren't completely original, they mostly take other cuisines and radically change them into something completely different.

Also, my favorite soda is any sort of Italian soda, especially pomegranate soda.

Geez, people seriously think I'm from Afghanistan. It's not funny when people believe you. I just got it from here.

I for one love these dilicious sodas called IZZE's. They are amazing and fruity with flavors like grapefruit, blackberry, and pomegranate.

Other than those I am a huge fan of diet sprite.

Am I allowed to post sodas from different countries. 'Cause if so, my favourite is Guarana. It's a Brazilian soft drink that has a taste that's softer than Coca Cola, yet sweet enough to be tasteful. So good!

Exactly what I was going to say, though you beat me to it.

The USA took in the cuisines of various regions around the world and changed them into something unique and distinct. Sometimes there are amalgamations. So, you can't say that the United States has contributed very little to food.

Eh, too many people posting soda here. Saddens me.

I live in the United Kingdom - originally Scotland but now England. I would say a sort of iconic British dish would be fish and chips or, stereotypically, tea and crumpets. I personally dislike fish, tea and crumpets and normally go for pie, burgers or meat-feast pizzas.

If I were to say my favourite soft drink it would probably be Irn Bru. It's a Scottish drink and it tastes lovely. I think it was made to mix with whiskey though.

Ah. Out of luck here. Any more traditional non-stereotypical dishes you can think of?

Well, at least it's a Scottish soft drink.
