American cuisine is primarily Western in origin, but has been significantly influenced by native American Indians, African Americans, Asians, Pacific Islanders, and many other cultures and traditions, reflecting the diverse history of the United States.
Many regional cuisines have their own deeply rooted ethnic heritages, including Cajun, Louisiana Creole, Native American, New England Algonquian, New Mexican, Pennsylvania Dutch, Soul food, Texan/Tex-Mex, and Tlingit.
In comparison to the northern colonies, the southern colonies were quite diverse in their agricultural diet, as the growing season was longer.
