List of Foods That Contain Q

    1

    Bisque

    A rich, velvety French cream soup classically made from shellfish — lobster, crab, or shrimp — with the shells roasted and simmered to extract maximum flavour before straining smooth.

    2

    Croque-Monsieur

    France's definitive hot sandwich — a grilled ham and cheese toastie topped with béchamel sauce and more cheese, then gratinéed until golden; add a fried egg on top and it becomes a croque-madame; a staple of French café menus since the early 20th century.

    3

    Quesadilla

    A Mexican tortilla folded over melted cheese (and often other fillings), griddled until the cheese is molten and the tortilla is crisp.

    4

    Quiche

    A French savoury custard tart in a shortcrust pastry shell — the classic Quiche Lorraine with bacon and cheese is the defining variant, but the format accommodates almost any filling.

    5

    Quinoa Bowl

    A modern Western convenience meal of cooked quinoa topped with vegetables, proteins, and dressings — popularized in the 2010s as a "superfood" alternative to rice bowls and salads.
