That orange cake that’s frosted with Cool Whip, canned pineapple, and pistachio pudding. So you get a yellow cake with fluorescent green frosting. I call it Kitty Forman Cake.
Grilled cheese sandwiches.
Roast beef and either potatoes or Yorkshire pudding.
Potatoes au gratin and kielbasa.
Green bean casserole (the kind with the dried onion ring things on top).
Jello

iceberg lettuce salad–includes tomato, and carrot shavings.
corn-creamed, on the cob, whatever.

I once read a hilarious book published by a Native American group, “Ten Little White People.” Each page had a stereotype of white people on it, such as,
So I vote for brie and wine.

I agree with Hamburger Helper ™ and Watermelon being a stereotyped Black food, but surely the stereotypical White food is grilled hamburgers and hotdogs. 
True story.
When I was living in Vancouver, I was shopping on commercial drive, at one of the natural healthy goodness kind of stores, and I overheard one womyn comment “I won’t eat perogies… thats white people food.”
This woman was whiter than I am, and I am a strawberry blonde who turns lobster red near a 100 watt bulb.
So, I guess, perogies.
Nah. A non-white person who could afford it would at least try brie and wine, if only to see what the fuss is about. That’s rich-people food; you don’t have to be white. White-people food is bland and boring, and, I think, often garish in presentation in the hopes of making it more palatable. Like casserole with crumbled potato chips on top. Ugh. Or green-bean casserole. Green beans, mushroom soup, and dried onion rings. Double ugh.
Funny, I’m from Texas and one of my favorite childhood memories was my Uncle JD coming to town every year around the 4th of July and the first thing he’d want to do would be hit the watermelon stands. At this point in my life I don’t know that I’d yet met a Black person. So watermelons for us certainly weren’t black food.
Uncle JD was my paternal grandmother’s brother. His BIL, my paternal grandfather, was a pretty strong racist. There’s no way he’d have ever condoned eating anything perceived as “black food”, or having anything to do with black culture. So maybe your part of Texas was different than my part of Texas, but that’s hardly surprising. People tend to paint anything Texas with a pretty broad brush.
Well, hell’s bells - I’ve nothing to contribute then as that’s pretty much all I ate this weekend (Publix chicken tenders and they had a sell on seedless watermelon…and beer 
).
You sure that’s not just Southern? :dubious:
I’d say anything with lots of dairy would be “white people food”. White folks can handle all that lactose. Most black people–and every other kind of people–get a bad case of the toots when we consume too much moo juice.
Lots of the foods that have been mentioned I wouldn’t call white. I’d call them “American”. Everyone eats grilled cheese, hamburger helper, and hot dogs. I think the black people-not-liking-mayonnaise thing is a myth, because every black person I know LOVES it. But one thing I don’t notice in my culture is green bean casserole. The only time I’ve ever had this dish was when I went over a white person’s house. So yeah, that classifies. I’d also dump egg salad into that pile.
I’m not sure, but I think non-wheat breads, like rye and pumperknickel, are “white”. White people love them some pumperknickel.
I can’t believe no one’s mentioned Swanson’s TV Dinners.
Define “all that long.” 
However, not at the same time. Unless it’s a special occasion like a wedding reception or havin’ the preacher over for supper.
Oh c’mon. This is about American white food. There are other white people out there. Who don’t eat PB&J for example. So I’ll mention…wait for it…marmite!
Who but white folks are dumb enough to eat this stuff?
Are you fussy about Cause of Death? 
Hey, Drive Crunchy Granola Chicky, that’s poor white farming people food! Total off-the-grid sourced food if you’re a prairie farmer- flour, eggs, dairy, sauerkraut, onions, cottage cheese…
I’m thinking about moving to the Drive area but I don’t like snobby neighbours 
Er, Brits?
My point. Brits and Aussies for two. A good % of are pretty damn white. But judging by your name your to busy stitting around motionless waiting for insects to fly into your mouth to notice .
I think of the term “White Guys” to refer to Americans who live in contact with the descendants of their ancestor’s slaves, rather than British citizens who live in contact with people of color who have emigrated from other areas of the Empire. Indeed, I feel I have more in common with Black folks from my own area than Britishers.
At least we can understand each other when we speak.
Around here, the stereotypical “white” - meaning Polish-Ashkenazic - menu includes such glorious items as gefilte fish, boiled chicken (with the water it was boiled in used as soup), and compote. Which is just one reason I married a Sephardic girl.
Bratwurst with sauerkraut and boiled potatoes.
My greatest cultural shock was not standing in a Synagogue all day on Yom Kippor, but watching my step daughter eat gefilte fish and chocolate milk.
