Travel The Globe Through Your Taste Buds With These 55 Iconic Dishes

Love this.

I miss Lygon Street, Melbourne. You can smell the pizza before you get there. What passes for pizza in China is an abomination.

Make sure to balance it on top of your coffee for a minute ... warm and gooey indulgence

This is massive. It looks like I've been ripped off all of my life.

Ah, the IKEA special.

Yes! I've eaten this in Bangkok a few times, love it!

Highly, highly recommended. I have Peking duck restaurant next to my apartment that is awesome

What about daal? Or garlic naan? Or aloo gobi? Or kibbeh?

My favorite winter food

Yummm.

... or New Zealand. Disputed.

Each to their own, but I prefer my food not so slimy and raw in appearance. Not that I'll ever eat it, but I'm sure it's delicious!

Delicious for sure, but I would’ve done something less obvious. Then again, I would k**l for authentic chicken tamales right now.

I love pierogi. Yummy, especially fried.

Difficult to make perfectly.

A local burger chain (Burger Fuel NZ) tried this but, apparently it didn't prove popular. I wish I'd tried it when I was able.

An Arab neighbour made rice and some chicken dish. I was sorely disappointed it wasn't spicy nor well seasoned.

I love borscht. Especially with a little bit of parsley and sour cream… so good.

heavy on the malt vinegar

Kibbeh is the best.

Kenapa sik masakan satu ini dianggap ikonik. Di rumah2 biasa kalo bikin nasgor buat ngabisin nasi sisa. Nggak sespesial itu. Lebih enakan nasi tutug oncom. Atau nasi gurih jombang yang bumbunya nendang.

Nothing like a good bowl of pho on a chilly day...or any day, for that matter.

The food of slaves that nowadays became trendy. Black beans and pieces of pig feet, tails, ears, anything that was not consumed by the slave owners.

Love these. I thought they were Greek though?

I always want to demolish the entire jar in one go when I get it at the market. So tasty.

Looks delicious

Buñuelos in every Hispanic country

Actually, this is an «italiano»: avocado, mayo and tomato. But all of our «completos» are amazing :-)

with pickled mustard greens ... yum

To complete the journey into my ethnic heritage, I should try these. The rest of me is Scots and English, so I've grown up with those... cuisines.

Love ceviche!

Ouch. I mean like, sure but there’s so much good stuff in America. Grits, cornbread, BBQ, hush puppies, gumbo, fried chicken, Mac n cheese, sloppy joes…

Yum,

I really wish I had some good jollof rice right now.

What is that?

Caviar is overrated.

Rye bread with butter is so wholesome. I don't even need more topping.

Every flatbread is called lefse in Norge.

hamburger with custard on top? How about the many types of biltong
