44. Putin, Canada
Do not rush to associate this dish with the president of Russia, to him it has not the slightest relation, and the accent in this word falls on the last syllable. In fact, Canadian Putin is nothing but potatoes with curd cheese and sauce. In translation, this word means "mess", which is not surprising, because a dish can include a wide variety of additional ingredients. Canadians say that Putin delivers a special pleasure after a few bottles of beer.

41. "Smelly" tofu, Southeast Asia
Yes, the name is not from appetizing, but it does not prevent gourmets from reckoning it to the most exquisite products of Southeast Asia. The smell of fermentation tofu (and thanks to this process cheese is so "fragrant") is so unbearable that sometimes the memories of it are haunted by unusual people for such exotic people for several months. That's why this kind of tofu is forbidden to trade on the streets - you can try it only in the restaurant. But is it worth experiencing such a culinary shock? Yes, this legendary taste is worth it.
