I'm not arguing about its origins, I'm saying you're playing Family Feud (aka Family Fortune overseas) and the host asks you to name a type of American cuisine.

Is "bbq/barbeque" on the board? I'd say it's probably #2 or #3 after Hamburgers (arguably bbq), hot dogs (arguably the same), fried chicken / wings (arguably the same), or pizza (arguably not "American" if bbq isnt either)

Others would be, TexMex, gumbo, cheesesteak, Thanksgiving dinner.

Anything else - deep-dish, pie a la mode, eggs benedict, candied yams, new England chowder, NY strip steak, Boston creme pie, a cheeseball... are way more niche than bbq

Fair enough, I would throw Mac and Cheese up there with BBQ. Thomas Jefferson apparently created the dish, based on other pasta and cheese sauce dishes, but he got hung up on elbow macaroni and served the stuff at every state dinner at Monticello.
