List of 6-letter Foods that start with T

1

Tagine

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

2

Tahini

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.

3

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.

4

Tamari

A Japanese soy sauce made with little or no wheat — richer, less salty, and naturally gluten-free, with a more concentrated soybean flavor than its more famous Chinese-influenced soy sauce cousin.

5

Tea Oil

An edible oil pressed from the seeds of camellia plants — particularly Camellia oleifera — long used in southern Chinese kitchens, with a profile similar to high-end olive oil.

6

Tempeh

An Indonesian fermented soybean cake bound together by white mycelium — meatier and more textured than tofu, with a nutty, mushroomy flavor that improves with cooking.

7

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.

8

Trifle

The great layered British dessert — sponge soaked in sherry or fruit juice, topped with fruit, vanilla custard, and whipped cream, often decorated with hundreds and thousands, flaked almonds, or glacé cherries; a dish with no single recipe but a strong structure, appearing at Sunday lunches, Christmas tables, and summer garden parties across Britain for centuries.
