Best Cuisine from Each Continent
What is it about food as well as the people who love it that makes it so special? Food is more than just something that individuals consume when they are hungry. Food is amazing, tasty, creative, vibrant (or sometimes dull), and inspirational, among many other things. A shared love of food may bring people together and help even the saddest folks feel a bit better without them even realizing it. Everyone enjoys eating, and we believe you should as well.
Our planet is made up of over 215 official and unidentified countries, with countless of cultures and customs adding to the diversity. Consider India, which has 22 government-recognized languages and over 400 more, including diverse dialects that aren’t recognized in the least. This diversity can only imply one thing for foodies: there is so much more cuisine to explore than you could ever dream.
“Each continent has a Magical meal ready
to be savored, from the East to the wild West.“
It is totally up to our fellow foodies to decide what constitutes a good meal. Some people prefer saucy dishes with lots of bread or rice on the side, while others prefer their food plain. Some people prefer to dine in a crowd, or with friends and family, while others prefer to eat alone.
Delicious meals are inspired by our moms, childhood memories, the place we dine in, the dishes we eat on, and the friends and family we eat with. It’s both psychological and biological.
Nonetheless, the Top 10 list we’re sharing with you today is one that practically everyone on the planet (at least those who are aware of the presence of the food mentioned below) enjoys them frequently. While determining the best meals in the world, we took into account all of the aspects as well as additional criteria such as unique cuisines, food quality, and general accessibility (due to globalization).
Top 10 Foods in the World
1. Shawarma, Turkey
Aside from nationalizing the plate and naming it Döner, Shawarma, or Gyro. The concept is almost the same, with a difference in the type of bread used.
Shawarma is a Turkish term that meaning “it turns” or “it swivels.” Shawarma comes in a variety of forms and recipes and is extremely popular in Middle Eastern nations such as Lebanon, Turkey, Syria, Palestine, Egypt, and Jordan. Shawarma is made up of several types of marinated meat sliced into thin slices and placed onto a slowly moving vertical rotisserie (you even see them adopted in Mexico), resulting in juicy, flavorful meat. Originally, lamb was utilized, but many restaurants now serve chicken, beef, or veal instead.
Have you tried Shawarma?
2. Ramen, Japan
In Japan, ramen noodles are not served in a styrofoam cup. Chinese-style noodles are served in a beef broth seasoned with soy sauce or miso in Japanese ramen. Each area of Japan has its unique twist, with toppings ranging from boiled egg to corn. Ramen is a Japanese noodle soup that originated in 1910 when Chinese chefs blended noodles with a salty broth.
These curly noodles were brilliant yellow in color and more elastic than Japanese noodles at the time — the dough was kneaded with kansui, a sodium carbonate-infused mineral water. In 1958, its name was taken from the Chinese term lamian (pulled noodles), and that same year, Nissin Foods released Chicken Ramen, the first-ever quick form of noodles with a chicken-flavored broth.
The country where Ninjas originated must know how and what to eat. Have you ever had ramen? Let us know where you went and how wonderful it was in the comments.
3. Bulgogi, South Korea
There are various Korean BBQ establishments in many countries across the world, but make sure to try them during your trip to South Korea. Bulgogi roughly translates to “fire meat,” and it derives its somewhat sweet flavor from a marinade of sugar and soy sauce. You may taste this fresh meat — eaten within a day (Freshly Butchered) — at fancy restaurants or from pan-ready packages purchased at local stores. Note: we recommend trying it at a local restaurant.
This dish is often accompanied with white rice and Kimchi along other light side dishes.
4. Tom Yum Soup, Thailand
Tom Yum, which translates to “sour/spicy soup,” is the most popular soup in Thailand and has achieved worldwide acclaim. There are two options for ordering: with or without coconut milk (tom yum goong nam khon) (tom yum goong nam sy). However, without the coco milk, it is lighter and tastier.
The most noticed taste you will feel when having your first sip is how lemony it is thanks to lemongrass. Other ingredients like curry and mushrooms complement the taste and makes the floating shrimps in the bowl even tastier.
5. Sushi, Japan
There is a reason why Japan graced this list not once, but now twice. Sushi is a popular dish among many people all over the world. Prepared using vinegared rice and a variety of ingredients including fish, vegetables, and occasionally fruits. Sushi tastes best when eaten with wasabi, pickled ginger, and soy sauce. Daikon radish is a favorite garnish for this meal. The flavor of sushi is determined by the type of fish utilized. The vinegared rice, on the other hand, adds a tangy taste to the dish as a whole. While tuna, eel, and salmon have moderate tastes, octopus-flavored sushi has a strong flavor.
Sushi is Japan’s most renowned culinary representation, often created with rice and ingredients folded inside a sheet of dry seaweed. However, the name sushi is an umbrella phrase that covers a vast variety of subvarieties that may be created with plenty of different elements in a slew of different forms and presentations.
Although the meal has become incorrectly associated with raw fish, the fundamental component in all types of sushi is merely vinegared rice. Sushi began as a means of preserving fish in Southeast Asia, but it reached Japan in the 8th century.
6. Lasagna, Italy
Because of its resurgence, Italy’s lasagna has surpassed Pizza in the list of “world’s finest cuisine dishes.” It is one of the oldest pastas, although it has only recently gained popularity. The components themselves seem delectable: meats, pasta, veggies, tomato sauce, and plenty of cheese. Lasagne (plural version of Lasagna) is a meal that is enjoyed by people of all ages and is suitable for any occasion or celebration.
Because of its fame, Lasagna has become a favorite meal to cook for many people of different nationalities around the world.
7. Naan, India
The key reason they taste so delicious is that they are baked in a clay oven. The manner of preparation and the temperature of this great traditional oven transforms a standard dough into the greatest tasting bread ever. The fermentation is what makes them crisp, and the addition of kalaunji (black cumin), green coriander, and some butter (or a lot of it) makes the aroma and flavor so rich that almost everyone wants some to dip into their favorite Indian dish.
8. Tacos, Mexico
Tacos are Mexico’s national meal, dating back to the 18th century Mexican silver mines, when the name taco referred to explosives wrapped in a piece of paper and put into rocks. It was dubbed tacos de minero or miner’s tacos because it was used to extract precious minerals from mines. Today, the term is frequently used to refer to Mexico’s most popular street food and fast food item: thin, flat griddle-baked tortillas topped with a variety of toppings, folded, and consumed without utensils.
Tacos are simply anything that is eaten on a soft (or a hard shell) tortilla, and there are an unlimited number of them. Sonora, in northern Mexico, eats the traditional carne asada – thinly sliced beef roasted over coal, and topped with veggies, salsa, onions, guacamole, and a lime wedge.
9. Burger, USA
Burger originated from the German Deutsches beefsteak to become a classic American meal. It got its second name (hamburger) from the fact that numerous German immigranted from the port of Hamburg in Germany to the United states of America.
A burger is a delectable cuisine comprised of seared beef patties packed on fresh, gently toasted buns and topped with onion slices, ketchup, or Dijon mustard. Of course, there are other condiments and vegetables available, such as salad greens and tomatoes.
Around the globe, and in every restaurant you get a completely different taste of the mighty burger. The nature of how globalized this meal has become is perhaps why almost everyone on earth have had at least one, or two.
10. Pizza, Italy
Who hasn’t heard of this meal that provides us with the ultimate savoring experience? This Italian dish is made out of a circular, wheat foundation dough that is topped with tomatoes, cheese, and often additional ingredients before being cooked at a high temperature, often in a wood-fired oven. Pizza is becoming one of the world’s most popular fast food staples. If you’re already salivating, pick up the phone and place your pizza order right away.
Depending on how you interpret it, the origins of this common household name vary. If you think of pizza as an oven-baked flatbread, you’re correct. Its origins may be traced back to the ancient Middle East. If pizza must have toppings, its roots may be traced back to the ancient Romans and Greeks, who made flatbreads and topped them with locally available spices and olive oil.
However, the pizza we know today, cooked with tomato sauce, cheese, and a variety of toppings, originated in Italy. It gained popularity in Naples in the 18th century as an inexpensive, nutritious cuisine enjoyed mostly by peasants. Early Neapolitan flatbreads covered with fat, salt, and garlic developed into the contemporary pizza we know today.
We don’t mind being called peasants dear emperor, because guess what, Pizza to a lot of us is life.
