List of Foods That Start With O

Omelette
A folded preparation of beaten eggs cooked in a pan, often with fillings — simple in form, technically exacting at the highest level, and a global breakfast staple.
3
Onion Soup
The most celebrated soup in French cuisine — an intensely flavoured broth built on slow-caramelised onions cooked until soft, sweet, and dark golden, then topped with a thick slice of toasted bread and a blanket of melted Gruyère cheese, gratinéed until bubbling; the classic bistro dish of Paris.
4
Osso Buco
A Milanese braise of cross-cut veal shanks slow-cooked in white wine, broth, and vegetables until the meat falls from the bone — finished with gremolata and served over saffron risotto.
5
Oyster
A bivalve mollusk eaten raw on the half-shell or cooked — the seafood with the most distinctive *terroir* of any farmed product, with each oyster bay producing measurably different flavors.
