The world's most iconic dishes — street food, traditional plates, desserts and drinks — one obsessive scroll. How many have you tried?
Food FAQ
Rice feeds over 3.5 billion people daily. In terms of iconic prepared foods, pizza, sushi, tacos, and pad thai are the most universally recognised dishes globally.
Japan (most Michelin stars), Thailand and Vietnam (best street food culture), Italy and France (fine dining foundations), India and Mexico (most diverse regional cuisines).
Sichuan Chinese, Indian (especially Andhra Pradesh), Thai, Mexican (Oaxaca), and Ethiopian are the world's spiciest cuisines. Ghost pepper and Carolina Reaper are the hottest chillies.
The golden rule: eat where locals eat at meal times. Skip tourist restaurants near attractions. For authentic food, follow the lunchtime crowd to neighbourhood spots.
Hákarl (Iceland fermented shark), Balut (Philippines), Durian (Southeast Asia), Century egg (China), and Fugu (Japan) are among the most unusual — all delicacies locally.
