List of 7-letter Foods that start with C

1

Calzone

A folded Neapolitan pizza — the same leavened dough as pizza, sealed around a filling of ricotta, mozzarella, cured meats, and sometimes tomato sauce, then baked until puffed and charred.

2

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.

3

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.

4

Challah

Enriched Jewish braided bread — a Shabbat and holiday loaf made with eggs, oil, and a touch of honey, with a characteristic plaited shape and glossy egg-wash crust.

5

Churros

Spanish deep-fried choux-dough pastry sticks — extruded through a star-shaped nozzle to create ridged cylinders, rolled in cinnamon sugar, and dipped in thick hot chocolate.

6

Crumpet

A uniquely British yeasted bread product — a thick, spongy disc riddled with hundreds of small holes that form during cooking on a griddle; the holes make crumpets perfect for absorbing butter, which melts through the holes from the top surface; a winter breakfast comfort food inseparable from British tea culture.

7

Custard

The great British pouring sauce and dessert base — custard ranges from thin, pourable sauce through thick pastry cream to firm set dessert; in Britain, "custard" usually means the warm, pourable vanilla sauce poured generously over pies, crumbles, and puddings; made either from eggs and cream (real custard) or from custard powder and milk (the British standby invented by Alfred Bird in 1837 for his egg-allergic wife).
