What are the two seasonings used by most Americans?

People from other countries often find American food dull and tasteless. In their countries, they use a variety of seasonings such as garlic, chili powder, oregano, and ginger to flavor their foods. Americans, however, use few spices besides salt, pepper, and ketchup to liven up their lunches and dinners.
     There are also differences in the kinds of food served at these meals. An American dinner often consists of large portion of meat with a few smaller portions of vegetables. Many foreigners prefer a well-seasoned portion of grains of vegetables and a little meat.
     Now, however, the American diet is being attracted by nutritionists. They say that we eat more meat, especially fatty beef, than is good for us. They also say that we should eat more grains and vegetables.
     As a result, Americans are trying foods of other nations. In more and more American cities, people find not only Chinese and Italian restaurants, but also Lebanese, Mexican, Korean, and Japanese restaurants. In the future, such foods as bean-curd, stuffed grape leaves, and tacos will become as American as apple pie.
