List of Foods That Start With W

Wasabi
A Japanese root with sharp punch that fills the sinuses — one of the most expensive vegetables to grow, with most "wasabi" served outside Japan being colored horseradish in disguise.
3
Welsh Rarebit
A glorified cheese on toast that is entirely its own thing — a rich, savoury sauce of mature cheddar melted with ale, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and egg yolk, spread thickly on toast and grilled until bubbling and browned; one of the great British dishes, far more than the sum of its parts.

Wonton
A Chinese dumpling of minced pork and shrimp wrapped in thin egg dough — boiled in broth, deep-fried, or steamed, and the foundation of wonton soup and Cantonese noodle dishes.
