stuffed with spinach and feta cheese. Available in a variety
of different shapes and sizes. A Greek favourite.
8.Thailand 2.Som Tum (Spicy Green Papaya Salad)

1.Tom Yum Goong (Spicy Shrimp Soup)


The quintessential Thai aroma! A bold, refreshing blend of fragrant
lemongrass, chilli, galangal, lime leaves, shallots, lime juice and fish sauce
shapes this classic soup, giving it its legendary herbal kick. Succulent fresh
prawns and straw mushrooms lend it body. A versatile dish that can fit within
virtually any meal, the distinctive smell reminds you of exotic perfume, while
it's invigorating sour-spicy-hot taste just screams 'Thailand'!

Hailing from the Northeast state of Isaan, this outlandish dish is both
great divider - some can't get enough of its bite, some can't handle it -
and greatly distinctive. Garlic, chilies, green beans, cherry tomatoes
and shredded raw papaya get dramatically pulverized in a pestle and
mortar, so releasing a rounded sweet-sour-spicy flavour that's not
easily forgotten. Regional variations throw peanuts, dry shrimp or
salted crab into the mix, the latter having a gut-cleansing talent that
catches many newcomers by surprise!
3.Tom Kha Kai (Chicken in Coconut Soup)
A mild, tamer twist on Tom Yum, this iconic soup infuses fiery chilies, 4.Gaeng Daeng (Red Curry)
thinly sliced young galangal, crushed shallots, stalks of lemongrass and
tender strips of chicken. However unlike its more watery cousin,
lashings of coconut milk soften its spicy blow. Topped off with fresh
lime leaves, it's a sweet-smelling concoction, both creamy and
compelling.

Made with morsels of meat, red curry paste, smooth coconut milk and
topped off with a sprinkling of finely sliced kaffir lime leaves, this rich,
aromatic curry always gets those taste buds tingling. At its best when
the meat is stunningly tender, it could be likened to a beautiful
woman: it's mild, sweet and delicately fragrant. And like all true love
affairs, absence makes the heart grow fonder.
9.Mexico
1.Chilaquiles 2.Pozole
This popular traditional breakfast dish features lightly fried corn tortillas cut
into quarters and topped with green or red salsa (the red is slightly spicier).
Scrambled or fried eggs and pulled chicken are usually added on top, as well
as cheese and cream. Chilaquiles are often served with a healthy dose
of frijoles (refried beans).

According to anthropologists, this pre-Hispanic soup was


once once used as part of ritual sacrifices. These days
chicken, pork and vegetarian pozole versions are readily
available in more everyday surroundings. Made from
hominy corn with plenty of herbs and spices, the dish is
traditionally stewed for hours, often overnight. Once
ready to serve, lettuce, radish, onion, lime and chilli are
sprinkled on top.
3.Tacos al pastor 4.Tostadas
This historic dish is one of the most popular varieties of tacos, with origins
dating back to the 1920s and 30s and the arrival of Lebanese and Syrian
immigrants to Mexico. To create tacos al pastor (meaning ‘in the style of the
shepherd’), thin strips of pork are sliced off a spit, placed on a corn tortilla
and served with onions, coriander leaves and pineapple.

What should you do with stale tortillas? Why, fry them of course!
Literally meaning toasted, tostadas are a simple but delicious dish
involving corn tortillas fried in boiling oil until they become crunchy
and golden. These are then served alone or piled high with any
number of garnishes. Popular toppings include frijoles (refried beans),
cheese, cooked meat, seafood and ceviche.
10.S.U.A 2. Apple Pie

1.Cheeseburger
Lunch counter, traditional, gourmet, sliders, Kobe. White Castle,
Whataburger, Burger King, In-N-Out, McDonald's, Steak N' Shake, Five Guys,
The Heart Attack Grill. It's hard to believe, but it all began with a simple
mistake.
The classic cheeseburger was born there in the late 1920s when a young chef
at The Rite Spot accidentally burned a burger and slapped on some cheese to
cover his blunder.

The saying is "American as apple pie" for a reason: this


sweet treat is a national institution. Forget anybody who will
try to tell you pecan or key lime is better, because they are
lying. The simple combination of sugar, buttery pastry and
tart sliced apples produces a dessert so extraordinary
people have devoted their entire lives to perfecting it.
3. Clam Chowder
4.Drop Biscuits and Sausage Gravy

It is basically illegal to visit Boston without trying New England clam chowder.
The fragrant soup is sold everywhere, and it looks hideous, being white and
lumpy. But one taste is all it takes to fall in love. Whoever decided to mix the
quahog shellfish with tender potatoes, salted pork, heavy cream and herbs is
a total genius.
A biscuit in America means, essentially, a flaky scone often made with
lard and buttermilk. In places such as Montana, where people burn
energy working on horse ranches, biscuits are eaten at breakfast
smothered in a thick white gravy that is studded with bits of sausage.
