Other important influences came from other parts of Europe, especially countries from which large numbers immigrated such as Ireland, Germany, Poland, and Italy. Due to the extent of American culture there are many unique subcultures within the United States. The types of food served at home vary greatly and depend upon the region of the country and the family's own cultural heritage.
