25. Butter Crab, India
To give people taste and aesthetic pleasure, the crab will have to suffer and, like in the fairy tale "The Little Humpbacked Horse", bathe in a vat, only not with milk and water, but with boiling oil. Each piece of crab is soaked in garlic-oil sauce, the aroma of Indian herbs gives an unrivaled aroma. But the main trick is that the crab can be eaten whole, without cleaning. Its shell becomes very tender and creates a fantastic range of tastes.
24. Champ, Ireland
The Irish national dish champ is being eaten faster than the first pint of beer on a Friday. Oh! By the way, champ is mashed potatoes with green onions, butter, salt and pepper. The perfect complement to any meat or fish. Or maybe meat and fish are complements to champ? However, in order to figure this out, it is better to check for yourself, for example, in any Irish pub.
23. Lasagna, Italy
Lasagne is second only to pizza in the ranking of famous Italian dishes. Adults and children alike adore the famous layered pie.
22. Vanilla Ice Cream Cake, Worldwide
Well, you must admit, there are no people who are absolutely indifferent to sweets. Especially to cakes with vanilla ice cream!
21. Croissants, France
Classic French breakfast. This is the first thing that comes to mind. In fact, French buns come from Austria, however, the French themselves do not hide this, but simply enjoy crispy pastries in tandem with coffee or hot chocolate.
20. Arepas, Venezuela
Mexicans and Venezuelans are probably close friends. Both cannot live without corn tortillas. True, there are still differences: if Mexican tortillas are flat and thin, then in Venezuela they are fried, leaving a delicate texture inside.

19. Nam Tok Mu, Thailand
"Meat waterfall" is how the name of this dish is translated. It implies the presence of liquid in the meat, that is, blood. Fried pork is combined with green onions, chili peppers, mint and rice.
18. Kebab, Iran
"Meat cooked over an open fire." The most common type of kebab is shish kebab, essentially our shashlik. The main thing is the seasoning and marinade, and also imagination.

17. Lobster, all over the world
Lobster can be prepared in many ways: as ceviche, broth, or bisque soup.
But the best way to enjoy the delicious meat of the crayfish is to simply boil it in salted water and enjoy the dish in combination with butter and a slice of lemon.
16. Egg Tart, Hong Kong
A dessert of contrasts: puff pastry and custard. A delicious treat that must be enjoyed hot, straight from the oven.
15. Roasted Boar, USA
This dish will not be brought to you by chefs in starched aprons, it will be… dug up for you. No, don’t think that earth pigs appeared in Hawaii (and roasted boar is a traditional Hawaiian treat), this is just how this dish is prepared. A whole pig is placed deep underground, in an oven, on hot stones, covered with fragrant leaves and kept there for a day. The boar meat turns out to be unusually tender and fragrant. Have you long wanted to visit Hawaii? Go ahead! For new impressions.

What new can be said about corn? This grain crop was grown at the dawn of our civilization, and now it has not lost its position. No matter how you look at it, corn is a great cereal.
12. Shepherd's Pie, UK
An old English dish. Ground beef and mashed potatoes are “packed” in a layer of crispy puff pastry. For a taste of old England, try this dish on a rainy, gloomy day, with the logs crackling in the fireplace.

9. Ice cream, USA
Americans buy ice cream all year round. Some may even eat it as a main course (several times a day). It must be admitted that in the US this delicacy is really tasty. Nuts, marshmallows, chocolate sauce, caramel and many other additives are temptations that no diet can resist.

3. Chocolate, Mexico
It would hardly be an exaggeration to call chocolate one of the most brilliant inventions of the ancient Mesoamerican civilizations of the Mayans and Aztecs. This confectionery product made from cocoa beans was brought to Europe in the 16th century, and for two centuries since then it has remained an extremely expensive product, available only to aristocrats. How great that today anyone can indulge in chocolate. Except perhaps those on a diet.
