Yes, chowder is either with milk or cream as a base. Here is All American Corn Chowder:

A spicy Canjun stew usually with shrimp over rice (usually always has okra as well). Sometimes crayfish, sometimes sausage.

@Rockhead,

Once I was staying in France during the month of August and asked my hosts if they knew were I could get some sweet corn (a favorite food at the end of summer for us Americans). They looked at me with shock and said "do you need to feed some pigs?" Corn in Europe seems to be a crop for animal feed.

I think Americans bred what we now know as the Black Angus beef cow -thus all those hamburgers.

I'd say corn pudding, but I always ate it at a local french restaurant, chez helene's..

but puddings in general, before they were in jello packages, yes.

I happen to love flan, and thus, egg custard.

This podcast discusses the most American (variation) of desserts ... pie.

Not saying we discovered pie. But we did (as a country) perfect it.

@Green Witch,

my sis had an exchange student from France stay with them long ago after I was not in the nest.

She raised a real stink about the corn...

might do stuffed green peppers as a special once in a while.

(or liver and onions, on my day off)

@Rockhead,

I've been told it would be insulting to serve someone from France corn on the cob.

We do have to take the blame for inventing corn dogs:

Liver and onions, americans either love it or hate it (I like it, if the liver isn't shoeleather as it was in my childhood).

@tsarstepan,

Then we have the New England boiled dinner. Much tastier then the name would imply.

Corn beef, cabbage, carrots, and potatoes:

@Green Witch,

Why insulting?
I've memories of picking corn from a cornfield taller than I was..
Didn't corn come from the americas in the first place?

I personally love liver and onions. Occasionally cook it myself.
