The US at large? Too diverse to have a specific cuisine but corn is a native food here, I recommend corn on the cob, either just with butter or the fancy Mexican style, and also try cornbread.
Local food, we have Cuban sandwiches and deviled crab, I didn't know until recently that those are only served around here, despite the name these are Florida foods. Cuban sandwich is a three meat affair on Cuban bread, deviled egg is a sort of fried dough with seasoned crabmeat in the middle.
Going more state than country to narrow it down a bit: coney dog, hani, microbrews, walnut and cherry salad, pasties, Vernors float, native trout, apple pie/cider, cherry wine
Moose steak.
And lutefisk (lye fish) is not as scary as it sounds.

Canadian cuisine isn't really distinctive, but you should really try French fries with salt and malt vinegar before you perish.
Is malt vinegar on fries a Canadian thing? It's my go to for otherwise plain fries but I don't think its very common in my area.
I have nothing to contribute myself, I've only been briefly to anywhere in Canada other than home and I can't think of anything that isn't gimmick fast food, doesn't originate from other countries, or have a near identical equivalent elsewhere in the world. Like I had friends that lived on the rez and sometimes their parents would prep bannock dough that we would cook over a firepit and fill with honey and it was excellent, but its literally just honey on bread that was cooked on a stick.
Bannock is definitely Canadian.
It's not that we don't have good food here, we absolutely do, but there's very little that I'd Identity as Canadian specific cuisine, other than bannock, poutine, etc. It's just all sort of nondescript to me.
And I think the British also do malt vinegar. It's the best way to eat your fries.
I'm not usually much interested in "food experiences" but nonetheless I have an answer and it is the sugar shack pancake breakfast.
Taiwan: Come visit us!! The majority of the foods on my list youq can get at most night markets.
Beef Noodle Soup - You've gotta try the beef noodle soup; it's practically the national dish! Imagine slurping down spicy broth with tender braised beef and hearty noodles. Total comfort food.
Bubble Tea - No trip to Taiwan is complete without bubble tea. It's the perfect combo of tea, milk, and those addictive tapioca pearls. Totally worth the hype!
Gua Bao - Think of Gua Bao as the Taiwanese burger. It's a fluffy steamed bun stuffed with juicy pork belly, sprinkled with peanuts and cilantro. So good.
Stinky Tofu - It might smell funky, but stinky tofu is a must-try street food. Dare yourself to try it fried up crispy with some pickled cabbage on the side.
Lu Rou Fan - This is a go-to comfort dish: simple braised pork over rice. It's unassuming but unbelievably tasty.
Oyster Omelette - This is a unique mix of eggs and oysters with a sweet potato starch that gives it a chewy texture, topped with a sweet and spicy sauce.
Pineapple Cake - For a sweet treat, grab a pineapple cake. It's a crumbly, buttery pastry with pineapple jam inside—a perfect souvenir too.
Dumplings - You can't go wrong with dumplings, steamed or fried. Dip them in soy sauce and chili and you're set.
Shaved Ice - To cool down, shaved ice is perfect, especially piled high with toppings like red beans and fruit.
Mango Shaved Ice - Upgrade to mango shaved ice if you’re there in mango season. Fresh mango with shaved ice and condensed milk? Yes, please!
We are super friendly too and the majority of the population speaks English.
In Texas, Tex-Mex.
In the US, it's really hard to say. We're too diverse.
