List of 9-letter Foods that start with S

1

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.

2

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.

3

Sesame Oil

An aromatic oil pressed from sesame seeds — fundamental to East Asian cuisine, with roasted (toasted) and unroasted versions serving very different culinary purposes.

4

Shakshuka

Eggs poached in a spiced tomato and pepper sauce — a Middle Eastern and North African staple that has become one of the world's most popular brunch dishes; cooked and served in the pan it was made in, eaten with bread for scooping, and ready in 30 minutes.

5

Sourdough

Bread leavened by wild yeast and lactic acid bacteria captured from flour and air — a 6,000-year-old technique with a 2020 pandemic-era revival, producing complex flavor unobtainable from packaged yeast.

6

Spaghetti

The world's most recognizable pasta — long thin round strands made from durum wheat semolina, the canvas for thousands of sauces.
