Shawarma From Israel, You Can Choose Lamb, Veal, Chicken Or Turkey Either On Plate Or Pita Bread
One of the great inventions of the Ottoman Empire that spread all over the region. In Israel the best way is in a Laffa (A folding flatbread that is from the Jews of Iraq, a Jewish bread from there), and you want Charif (A hot pepper sauce from the Jews in Yemen, something non-jews in Yemen dont eat), then add in herb Tomato Dip (brought by Jews from Poland), and marinated roasted eggplant (brought by jews from Romania), and add in fries. You get the real Israel feel of the whole Jewish diaspora's items united in one dish

Out Of So Many Malaysia National Delicacies, This Is Definitely The Best, Nasi Lemak
This is our national dish. It is rice cooked with coconut milk and pandan (so fragrant, mmm!), fried peanuts, fried anchovies, boiled egg and cucumber, and the most important thing - the sambal (chilli and onion paste which is sweet and hot with a hint of tamarind). Yummyyy... Additional side dishes of chicken, beef, fish or squid are optional. We usually eat this for breakfast, but it is available for lunch, dinner and supper too.
Bubur Ayam Is A Must Try If You Visit Indonesia! It Is Usually Eaten As Breakfast And Each Region Has Their Own Recipe!
Fascinating! What is the food on the right side of the dish, between the greens and what I assume are beans? And what spices are used?
That's fried peanuts at 1 o'clock. The round things are Chinese crullers, or "You Tiao" in Chinese. It's deep-fried dough like doughnuts but it's salty. "Bubur ayam" means chicken porridge. The rice is cooked with either water or chicken stock.

Erwtensoep Met Rookworst
Ackee And Saltfish From Jamaica

I Grew Up In Northern Michigan In The Us. Pasties (Based On Cornish Meat Pies) Are Very Popular. Must Be Served With Ketchup
Moroccan Chicken Bestilla. It's A Savoury-Sweet Pie Filled With Chicken And Almonds And Cinnamon
In The Netherlands That Must Be The Frikandel Broodje. Like All Students And School People Eat Those And They Are Delicious
You lost me when stating "Like All Students And School People Eat Those". Yes they are relatively cheap and they are savory. In our Uni we've got a couple of thousand students, this snack is only moderately popular. Maybe at high schools when a quick snack is in demand, then again there are quite a few tasty and cheap alternatives to this specific snack.
Not The Best Photo, But This Is Sarawak Laksa, From The East Of Malaysia
It's rice vermicelli in soup cooked with usually prawn-based stock, with a lot of spices and coconut milk. As you can see it's topped with shredded chicken, prawns, fried eggs, and coriander. Usually it comes with the side of belacan (shrimp paste) and kalamansi, which you can opt to squeeze into the soup to add some more tanginess.
Pork Tenderloin (Indiana)
Crawfish
Looks like a low country boil or just a Louisiana boil. Either way crawfish are very good prepared a variety of ways but many people love them this way and they have a festival in Louisiana for them like this every year.
Bacon Sandwiches With Tomato Ketchup Are Quite Popular Here In The UK
Nah - needs brown sauce instead. And still doesn't come close to a Full English Breakfast! Om nom nom!
What is the dish in the cover photo at the very top? I really want to make it
Load More Replies...In Italy we have too many popular best food on a region, province and little town level. So it's nearly impossible to say something without offending your neighbor! In my region (Emilia-Romagna) I could say: Tortellini in brodo first of all. Cotechino? All type of homemade pasta with ragù alla bolognese? I must stop because I don't want to hurt my co-citizens from 7 kms by me. 😘
Waakye from ghana 🇬🇭 should be up there. ( rice and beans cooked with sorghum leaves+ savoury meats sauce+ black 🌶 sauce, gari, spaghetti, fried sweet plantains, boiled eggs etc 😋
I’m surprised American BBQ wasn’t on here, I’ve never even heard of the other “American” dishes other than crawfish and I think they only eat that in one state.
Nope, any state that has crawfish will eat crawfish. It's not celebrated-popular but it's eaten in CA, especially near the rice paddies.you have Texas, Kansas City, North Carolina and other BBQ's. Lobster boils are popular in New England area, crawfish and barbecue in the south, pizza for NY the southwest used to be Mexico, so street tacos... In my area, fried chicken(not just KFC) is more common than Carolina barbecue. It depends of the area and the influence. We're not assimilated, so regions and demographics play a big part of what our hot-ticket food is.
Load More Replies...FYI: Because America is a smorgasbord of people we all have our favorite family food. We eat rice and beans, pigeon peas, bacon and eggs, roasted Turkey, corned beef and cabbage. I'm sure the crawfish was from Louisiana. Our food is like us a smorgasbord.
I wonder that nobody said Schnitzel for Germany or Austria. I could not decide for Poland…. Maybe gołobki or kluski z kaputą ….
I'm italian (so we have a very good milanese cotoletta) but I ate the best Schnitzel in Wien. (And thank you for your restaurant prices too).
Load More Replies...To be fair, a bacon (rasher) sandwich is absolutely delicious
