Top 5 Favourite American Foods of All Time
As I get older I get more and more fascinated with food statistics. I like finding out how popular foods are in the United States and in the rest of thenull world. Many times on my YouTube channel I have done long live streams where I chatted with my followers about my favorite worldwide foods. In this article, I focus on the Top 5 most popular foods in America.
This is not an exhaustive list and is somewhat subjective, the term “popular” in and of it self is slightly subjective but has objective data to back it up. I pulled the data from many different sources (cited) and other lists, but looking at the list I tend to agree. Also, I will include links to recipes that I have for each of those items on this list.
That way you can make your own if you want. Especially if you live outside of the US and want to try making one of the most popular foods in America at home. And for the most part, all of these foods are pretty easy to make. Let’s get started!

Top 10 Most Popular Foods in America – Number 10 Potato Chips
It is not surprising to see that potato chips made the list. Everywhere I go, parties, etc. I see potato chips. At the supermarket, there are rows and rows of chips and several different flavors of potato chips.
According to Statista in 2020, 284.37 million Americans ate potato chips. That is an insane amount of potato chips. Do you want to know another country that eats a lot of potato chips? France! Who knew? Potato chips originated in the United States, but happy to see the people of France love them almost as much as we do here in the US.

Whether you spell them donuts or doughnuts, it doesn’t matter, these tasty pastries are number 9 on this the most popular foods in America list.
Ever since I was a little kid, I enjoyed eating donuts. Walking to the local donut shop and picking up a few, or a dozen, haha. Such an amazing thing to eat for breakfast or a treat throughout the day. Here in the United States, it is easy to find a donut shop, Krispy Kreme, Winchell’s, Dunkin’, etc.
According to this article, over 10 billion donuts are consumed in the US every year! That is an insane amount of donuts.

Coming in at number 8 is ice cream. Another childhood favorite of mine. I have fond memories of going to the Thrifty store and getting a scoop of Thrifty brand ice cream with my family. My favorite flavor back then was Chocolate Malted Crunch.
The average American consumes a whopping 23 pounds of ice cream and other related frozen desserts in a year. The most popular flavors being Vanilla first, then Chocolate. I do love some ice cream!
