List of 4-syllable Foods that start with C

1

Calamari

Squid prepared as food, most often coated in batter and deep-fried into golden rings — a Mediterranean fishmonger's mainstay that has gone global as a bar appetizer.

2

Canola Oil

A neutral, high-smoke-point cooking oil pressed from a Canadian-bred variety of rapeseed — one of the most-used oils in North American kitchens and food processing.

3

Carambola

A glossy yellow tropical fruit that produces five-pointed star slices when cut crosswise — Southeast Asian in origin, sweet-tart, and the source of the alternate name "star fruit."

4

Carbonara

Rome's iconic pasta made with guanciale, eggs, Pecorino Romano, and black pepper — no cream, no onion, no garlic; the sauce is an emulsification of egg and fat achieved off the heat.

5

Christmas Pudding

The great British festive dessert — a dense, dark steamed pudding made months in advance with dried fruit, suet, black treacle, spices, and stout or brandy; served flaming with brandy on Christmas Day; traditionally made on Stir-up Sunday (the last Sunday before Advent) and steamed for hours until almost black; often contains hidden silver coins for good luck.

6

Ciabatta

A rustic Italian white bread with an open, holey crumb and crisp crust — invented in 1982 in Verona as an Italian answer to the baguette, now one of the most widely eaten breads in the world.
