Some recipes not mentioned in the article:
Impossible Pie by Bisquick
We are a lot of Coconut Impossible Pie in the 1970s and 1980s.
the Bisquick recipe
without Bisquick (which is what we made)

I really like Rum Chiffon Pie which was probably a Knox Gelatin Creation or a knock off of one.
Here are 2 Knox Pie recipes

Not really an American food tradition per se, since it’s not common.
I was amused by one recipe in the Molly O’Neill NY Cookbook, for white chocolate fondue, which was a recipe Toblerone promoted, when White Chocolate Toblerone was introduced.

I may be underthinking or missing something here, but is peanut butter with mayo an American food tradition? When I see one of those lists that ask “Which of these 50 foods will you not eat?” I usually have only one or two that I’d say no to. Now I guess I have one more.

Vodka martini: appearance in James Bond movies.
