A pocket of dough wrapped around a filling — boiled, steamed, fried, or baked — found in nearly every cuisine on Earth.

A cold Andalusian soup of raw blended tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, garlic, and olive oil — peasant food turned summer staple.

Ground meat seasoned and stuffed into casing — a near-universal preserved-meat tradition with hundreds of regional forms, from Italian salami to Polish kielbasa to British bangers.

11

Tarragon

A slender-leafed Mediterranean herb with anise-licorice notes — the defining flavor of French béarnaise sauce, classical roast chicken, and the central herb of *fines herbes* mixtures.
