List of 7-letter Foods that contain I

1

Aniseed

A small grayish seed from a Mediterranean herb in the parsley family, with a sweet licorice flavor — the foundational spice of pastis, ouzo, sambuca, and Christmas baking.

2

Beignet

A New Orleans deep-fried choux-dough fritter, served hot and smothered under a snowfall of powdered sugar — the signature breakfast of Café Du Monde since 1862.

3

Biryani

A layered rice dish of long-grain basmati cooked with spiced meat or vegetables, born from Persian–Mughal kitchens and refined across the Indian subcontinent.

4

Brioche

A buttery, eggy French enriched bread — soft, golden, and so rich it sits at the boundary between bread and pastry.

5

Bulgogi

Korean "fire meat" — thinly sliced beef marinated in soy sauce, pear or apple juice, sesame oil, and garlic, then grilled over charcoal or cooked on a tabletop grill.

6

Burrito

A large soft flour tortilla wrapped tightly around savory fillings, born in northern Mexico and reinvented in California into the food it's now globally known as.

7

Cannoli

Sicily's defining pastry — crisp fried pastry tubes filled with sweetened sheep's-milk ricotta, studded with candied orange peel or chocolate chips, served at every Sicilian celebration.

8

Ceviche

Raw fish "cooked" by citrus acid — a South American technique of marinating fresh fish in lime juice with chilli, onion, and coriander; the national dish of Peru.

9

Fajitas

A Tex-Mex dish of grilled marinated meat and peppers served on a hot cast-iron skillet with flour tortillas — originally a cattle-country dish using skirt steak, now a globally recognised sizzling restaurant experience.

10

Gnocchi

Soft Italian dumplings made of potato, semolina, or ricotta — pillowy, lightly chewy, served with butter, brown butter, sauce, or in broth.

11

Pad Thai

Thailand's national noodle dish — rice noodles stir-fried with egg, bean sprouts, and choice of protein in a tangy-sweet tamarind sauce, finished with crushed peanuts, chilli flakes, and a squeeze of lime.

12

Paprika

A red powder made from dried ground sweet or hot peppers — a defining Hungarian, Spanish, and Eastern European spice, with sweet, smoked, and hot varieties that fundamentally differ in flavor and use.

13

Pierogi

Poland's beloved stuffed dumplings — unleavened dough folded around potato-cheese, sauerkraut-mushroom, or fruit fillings, boiled then pan-fried in butter with onions; Poland's most recognisable culinary export.

14

Poutine

Quebec's cult comfort food — thick-cut fries covered in fresh cheese curds and hot brown gravy; the curds must squeak against the teeth, the gravy must be hot enough to soften them slightly without melting them completely.

15

Risotto

A creamy Northern Italian rice dish where short-grain rice is slowly stirred with broth until it releases starch and becomes silky — a technique disguised as a recipe.

16

Tapioca

A starch extracted from cassava roots — sold as flour, beads (boba pearls), or sticks, and used in puddings, gluten-free baking, and the bubble teas of East Asia.

17

Vanilla

The cured seed pods of an orchid — an extraordinarily labor-intensive natural flavoring whose complex aromatic compound profile makes it essentially impossible to fully replicate synthetically, yet most "vanilla" globally is actually synthetic vanillin.

18

Vinegar

A sour liquid produced by fermenting alcoholic beverages with acetic acid bacteria — found in every cuisine, from balsamic of Modena to apple cider vinegar to Chinese black vinegar.
