6-letter Foods that contain U

List of 6-letter Foods that contain U

1

Bisque

A rich, velvety French cream soup classically made from shellfish — lobster, crab, or shrimp — with the shells roasted and simmered to extract maximum flavour before straining smooth.

2

Butter

Solid dairy fat made by churning cream — a foundational ingredient across global cooking, with regional variations from cultured European butter to Indian ghee to fermented African shea butter.

3

Dim Sum

A Cantonese tradition of small steamed and fried bites served from rolling carts at brunch — dumplings, buns, rolls, and savory plates picked piece by piece with tea.

4

Fondue

Swiss melted cheese in a communal pot — Gruyère and Emmental melted with white wine and Kirsch, kept warm over a flame; bread cubes dipped on long forks, with the legend that dropping your bread means a round of drinks.

5

Hummus

A creamy Middle Eastern dip of mashed chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil — eaten with bread, vegetables, or as a base for fuller plates.

6

Lumpia

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.

7

Mousse

A light, airy dessert or savoury preparation made by folding whipped cream or beaten egg whites into a flavoured base — chocolate mousse is the most celebrated version, with its intense dark chocolate flavour suspended in a barely-set, cloud-like texture; salmon mousse is the classic savoury counterpart.

8

Muffin

Two completely different foods share this name — the American muffin is a quick-bread cake baked in a cup mould, sweet and domed, sold in coffee shops worldwide; the English muffin is a flat, yeast-leavened bread cooked on a griddle, split and toasted, and used for Eggs Benedict; they are unrelated.

9

Nougat

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.

10

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.

11

Quiche

A French savoury custard tart in a shortcrust pastry shell — the classic Quiche Lorraine with bacon and cheese is the defining variant, but the format accommodates almost any filling.

12

Tom Yum

Thailand's most internationally recognised soup — a hot and sour broth fragrant with lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaf, and chilli, typically made with prawns (tom yum goong) and balanced to be simultaneously spicy, sour, and aromatic.

13

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.

14

Yogurt

Milk fermented by live bacterial cultures, producing a thick, tangy food eaten plain, sweetened, or strained — a foundational dairy across the world.
