1

Banh Mi

A Vietnamese baguette sandwich filled with pickled vegetables, fresh herbs, and a protein — a direct product of French colonial influence on Vietnamese street food.

A French choux pastry finger filled with pastry cream and glazed with chocolate — one of the defining creations of classical French pâtisserie.

Scotland's national dish — sheep's offal (heart, liver, lungs) minced with oatmeal, onions, and spices, traditionally cooked in a sheep's stomach and served with neeps and tatties.

5

Ethiopia's giant spongy sourdough flatbread — made from teff grain, fermented for two to three days, then poured onto a hot clay griddle to produce a sour, spongy disc that serves as both plate and eating utensil.

Strained yoghurt cheese from the Levant — yoghurt hung in cloth until thick enough to roll into balls or spread; drizzled with olive oil and dusted with zaatar or dried herbs, a cornerstone of the mezze table.

Filipino spring rolls — thin rice-paper or wheat-flour wrappers filled with ground pork and vegetables, deep-fried until crispy; the definitive party food of Filipino gatherings worldwide.

Mahlab

An aromatic spice made from the cherry-pit-like seeds inside Saint Lucie cherry stones — a defining flavor of Greek, Turkish, Lebanese, and Egyptian Easter and holiday breads.

A chewy or brittle confection of whipped egg whites, honey or sugar syrup, and nuts — ancient in origin, found from Italy to Iran to Australia, with wildly different textures depending on the type.

Peanut

A South American legume that grows underground (despite being called a nut) — the world's most widely-consumed legume, source of George Washington Carver's hundreds of agricultural innovations and a defining American snack food.

14

Tagine

A North African slow-cooked stew of meat, fruit, and spices — named for the conical clay pot it cooks in.

A smooth paste of ground sesame seeds — the binding flavor of hummus, the base of Middle Eastern halva, and a foundational ingredient in Levantine and Israeli cooking.

16

Tamale

Mesoamerica's ancient wrapped food — masa dough (nixtamalised corn) spread on a corn husk or banana leaf, filled with seasoned meat, chilli, cheese, or beans, then wrapped and steamed; eaten at Christmas and celebrations throughout Mexico and Central America.

Waffle

A leavened batter cake cooked between two patterned plates that imprint deep grids on the surface — Belgian by reputation, but eaten everywhere.

21

Xacuti

A Goan curry of chicken or lamb in a complex spice paste of dried red chilies, poppy seeds, coconut, and over a dozen ground spices — rich, dark, and aromatic.
