9-letter Foods that contain C

List of 9-letter Foods that contain C

1

Anchovies

Small saltwater fish cured in salt for months and packed in oil, prized for the deep umami punch a few fillets add to sauces, dressings, and Mediterranean cooking.

2

Bunny Chow

Durban's iconic street food — a hollowed-out half or quarter loaf of bread filled with spicy curry, the scooped-out bread served as the lid; eaten by hand from the loaf.

3

Camembert

A small, soft, bloomy-rind cow's-milk cheese from Normandy with a velvety white crust and an oozing pale-yellow interior — younger and earthier than Brie but the same cheese family.

4

Candle Nut

A large, waxy, oil-rich nut from a tropical tree, essential to Indonesian and Malaysian cooking as a creamy thickener for curries and spice pastes — toxic when raw, safe when cooked.

5

Canola Oil

A neutral, high-smoke-point cooking oil pressed from a Canadian-bred variety of rapeseed — one of the most-used oils in North American kitchens and food processing.

6

Carambola

A glossy yellow tropical fruit that produces five-pointed star slices when cut crosswise — Southeast Asian in origin, sweet-tart, and the source of the alternate name "star fruit."

7

Carbonara

Rome's iconic pasta made with guanciale, eggs, Pecorino Romano, and black pepper — no cream, no onion, no garlic; the sauce is an emulsification of egg and fat achieved off the heat.

8

Cassoulet

Languedoc's monumental slow-baked casserole of white beans with confit duck, Toulouse sausage, and pork — named after the earthenware *cassole* it cooks in; subject of fierce regional rivalry.

9

Chocolate

Roasted and ground cacao beans transformed into bars, candies, and beverages — originally a bitter Mesoamerican ceremonial drink, now a $130+ billion global industry.

10

Clafoutis

A rustic French baked dessert from the Limousin region — black cherries baked in a thick, eggy batter that puffs up in the oven to a soft, custardy, pancake-like consistency; simple and quick to make, it is the definitive home dessert of southwest France; purists insist the cherries must remain unpitted to preserve their flavour, the almond-like note from the kernel infusing the batter.

11

Croissant

A French laminated pastry of butter folded into yeasted dough, baked into a flaky, crescent-shaped icon of the patisserie.

12

Enchilada

A corn tortilla rolled around a filling and bathed in chili sauce, baked until tender — a staple of Mexican cuisine since pre-Columbian times.

13

Guacamole

Mexico's most famous condiment — a simple, fresh dip of mashed avocado with lime juice, coriander, onion, and chilli; invented by the Aztec people using the same basic technique still used today; the quality depends entirely on ripe avocados, and fresh guacamole must be made and eaten immediately before it discolours.

14

Lemon Curd

A smooth, intensely tangy preserve made from eggs, butter, sugar, and fresh lemon juice — thicker and richer than jam, with a vivid yellow colour and a clean, bright flavour; used as a spread on toast and scones, a filling for tarts and cakes, and a swirl in cheesecakes and ice cream; requires careful making — the eggs curdle if overheated — but keeps for weeks refrigerated.

15

Mince Pies

Small, enclosed pastry tarts filled with mincemeat — a sweet mixture of dried fruit, suet, spices, and brandy or spirits — eaten throughout the Christmas season in Britain; traditionally containing actual minced meat in medieval times, today the filling is entirely fruit-based; served warm or cold, dusted with icing sugar, and considered obligatory at Christmas parties and carol services.

16

Schnitzel

A thin, breaded cutlet fried in clarified butter — Austria's Wiener Schnitzel must be veal; Germany's Schnitzel uses pork; both are pounded paper-thin, coated in flour, egg wash, and fine breadcrumbs, and fried until golden.

17

Scotch Egg

A boiled egg encased in seasoned sausage meat, coated in breadcrumbs, and deep-fried until golden — a British picnic and pub staple invented in London in 1738 by Fortnum and Mason; the perfect Scotch egg has a soft, still-runny yolk inside the crispy shell, and achieving this requires precise timing.
