Schlitz, Natty Lite, Icehouse. All beers that are really vomit in a can. At least you didn't mention steel reserve.
Cheapest beer I can stand is pabst. My grandpa helped their accountancy department restructure when they switched from soda to beer, so I've always had a soft spot for it, and it helps that it's dirt cheap most of the time.
But the worst, worst beer I have ever had, is Beer 30. You can taste the cancer causing plastic lining. You could chill it with nitrogen, and it wouldn't help.
Sammy's is a pretty good beer. Plus they richard around with different formulas, so if you don't like one, you can pick another!
I'd say a bbq burger is a bit more quintessentially American than pan frying or foreman grilling, so long as you don't buy the nasty frozen pucks.
One thing I thought was American, but learned otherwise, are 40 ouncers. Not only do they seem to not exist much outside of California, even in California, the man wants to get rid of em, so you mostly have to settle for a hidden tall boy when you go to the beach (20 ounces)
This has golly nothing to do with a dinner though. whoops!
Last night I had weird mac and cheese. It was still kraft, but they sold out of the regular, so it was twisty noodles. INGENIOUSLY, their swirl pattern meant the stuff stirred itself! Not so inspiring, it's been shrink rayed. a box of kraft used to be four servings, now it's two. If I was a parent, I'd be pissed. As a fat man, two servings was enough for my dinner.
