The second best was also an Indonesian dish - Nasi goreng, a mixture of rice, eggs, chicken.

Japanese sushi is in third position, as one respondent noted, “a delicacy can be simple.”

In fourth place is Tom yam goong, (Thailand), a dish consisting of many ingredients: shrimp, mushrooms, tomatoes, lemongrass, lime, a lot of spices, usually served with coconut milk.

The fifth was Pad thai, also a Thai dish, with a special sauce. A dish that the Thais themselves consider to be the main one in Thai cuisine. You can cook it not only with meat, but also with chicken or shrimp. The main criterion for the correctness of a dish is the transition of tastes, when first you feel a sweet taste, then sour, and finally spicy. To succeed, you need to prepare the sauce correctly.

The sixth place is also for Thai cuisine - Som tam or papaya salad, with spices, game meat.

Hong Kong Dim sum dumplings need no special introduction, they are loved by both locals and tourists of all ages - in seventh place.

Japanese dish Ramen in eighth position, noodle soup with meat and spices. Ramen consists of wheat noodles in a broth, on top of which various additives can be placed: specially prepared pork called chashu, kamaboko; Pickles (tsukemono): bamboo shoots, pickled shiitake mushrooms, mung bean sprouts and vegetables such as spinach, green onions or komatsuna (a type of Chinese cabbage). Sometimes nori and eggs (boiled or fried) are added to ramen.

Peking duck – “Peking duck” needs no introduction, but the best place to try it is in Beijing (while it is still prepared according to all the ancient traditions, which today, according to environmentalists, are harmful to the environment). The recipe for Peking duck has become widely known since the Yuan Dynasty, when in 1330 the physician and nutritionist in charge of the emperor's nutrition, Hu Sihui, published it in his fundamental work “The Essential Principles of Nutrition.”

And the Thai dish Massaman curry closes the top ten; after all, curry is one of the most popular and favorite dishes in the world.

25. Barbados: Cou-cou & Flying Fish

Barbados has many types of popular fish such as king mackerel, tuna, barracuda or Campechin snapper, but Barbados is known as the “land of the flying fish” and these fish have even made their way into the Barbadian national dish called “Coo coo and the flying fish”. Coo coo consists primarily of corn porridge (made from cornmeal) and okra (okra), and the flying fish is usually fried or steamed.

The dish can be served on a skewer for on-the-go finger food and in pita bread with sides and sauces or with fried potatoes.

20. Italy: pizza


Since pizza is well known all over the world, there is no need to introduce this popular dish. Instead, we'll tell you about the possible origins of the archetypal type of pizza - Pizza Margherita. Legend has it that the Margherita pizza was invented in 1889, when the Royal Palace of Capodimonte commissioned Neapolitan pizza maker Raffaele Esposito to create a pizza in honor of Queen Margherita's visit. Of the three different pizzas he created, she chose a pie in the colors of the Italian flag: red (tomato), green (basil) and white (mozzarella).

Hamburgers, similar to pizza or pasta, are known and loved all over the world, but the country most often associated with them is the United States. Everyone knows what a hamburger typically consists of, but not many people know that the term "hamburger" originally comes from Hamburg, a German city from which many people emigrated to the United States. This term, however, has nothing to do with the dish, because in German "Burg" means a fortified settlement.

17. Hungary: goulash


Goulash became Hungary's national dish in the late 1800s, as Hungarians sought symbols of national identity to distinguish themselves from their partners in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Later, this hearty dish spread to Central Europe, Scandinavia and Southern Europe. It is a soup or stew made from beef (sometimes also veal, pork, venison or lamb) and vegetables, richly seasoned with pepper and other spices.

16. Israel: Falafel


A common dish not only in Israel but throughout the Middle East, falafel are deep-fried balls or patties made from ground chickpeas, beans, or both.

15. Jamaica: Ackee & Saltfish


Although this savory dish originated and is most popular in Jamaica, it is also widely consumed in the UK, Canada and the USA. To prepare this dish, salt cod is fried with boiled ackee (a nutritious fruit with a buttery, nutty flavor), onions, tomatoes and spices. The dish is usually served for breakfast or dinner with breadfruit, thick bread, dumplings or boiled green bananas. It is often washed down with coconut milk.

Many South Korean restaurants have mini barbecues on every table, giving diners the opportunity to grill their own meat.

12. France: thin pancakes (Crepe)


The thin pancakes, whose French name "Crêpe" comes from the Latin word "crispa" (meaning "rolled"), are usually made with wheat flour. Thin pancakes are served with a range of fillings.

11. China: Peking Duck


Peking duck is the most famous dish from the capital of China and one of the most iconic Chinese dishes. The crispy duck meat is eaten with green onions, cucumber, sweet bean sauce and thin pancakes. Sometimes, a small bowl of hot sauce such as Hoisin sauce is added to the main platter.

Depending on the region, it may also contain fresh shrimp, crab, chicken or other meats.

7. Czech Republic: Svickova


In the Czech Republic, there is an ongoing debate about whether the Czech national dish is fried pork with dumplings and cabbage (Vepřo-knedlo-zelo) or svickova. We chose the second option. Svickova is beef tenderloin with creamy vegetable sauce and dumplings. This is a tasty but not very dietary dish, sometimes served with lemon slices and cranberries as a garnish.

6. Venezuela: Arepa


The arepa, made from a dough of pounded corn or fried flour, is considered the national dish of Venezuela and sometimes Colombia as well. Different parts of the country use different sizes and types of corn and the ingredients they add. In eastern Venezuela, for example, the most common species typically ranges from 8 to 20 centimeters in diameter and is approximately 2 centimeters thick. These days, the dish is often prepared in electric arepa machines, which reduce cooking time from 15 to 25 minutes per side to seven minutes or less.

Kebab originated in Turkey, where street vendors sold meat cut from vertically mounted skewers. Kebab has become one of the most popular fast food dishes in most European countries.

The meat is usually served in flatbread or pita bread.

1. Belgium: mussels with fries (Moules-Frites)


This dish first appeared in Belgium and is considered the country's national dish, however, it is also popular in France and other Western European countries. However, the most surprising thing about this traditional Belgian dish is its size. A serving of mussels in Belgian restaurants is usually one and a half kilograms per person. As a dish, mussels and fries are served in separate plates or containers to prevent the fries from becoming soggy.

The USA, Thailand, Mexico and even Poland are among the countries whose dishes are included in the TOP 50. But Ukraine was not even remembered. However, this is not discrimination. Simply, when compiling the rating, CNN was interested in the opinions of its employees and people associated with the publication.

Most of the dishes in the rating are national delicacies of Eastern countries - Thailand, Japan and Singapore. There was also room for everyone's favorite pizza, donuts and hamburgers. The first place was taken by the Thai dish - massaman curry, and the last place - the favorite of all America, popcorn.

There are as many national cuisines as there are in the world. For this reason, there is, in general, no point in organizing a competition for the most delicious dish in the world.

Open Championship

Firstly, it can sow enmity between culinary experts from different countries, but our main task is, on the contrary, to unite efforts. Secondly, as they say, what’s good for a Russian is not so good for a German. This means in terms of cooking that every nation has a favorite dish, which is sometimes not entirely suitable for consumption by representatives of other nationalities. Therefore, when talking about what is the most delicious dish in the world, you need to keep in mind a long menu of all sorts of dishes popular in different parts of the globe. This is what we will try to consider in this article.

The secret of popularity

CNN has compiled a kind of top of the most delicious dishes in the world. This list includes traditional dishes from various countries and peoples, especially popular and considered the best: Peking duck, Japanese sushi, Italian pizza, Turkish kebab, Spanish paella, Mexican taco, etc. The ranking of the most delicious dishes in the world suggests that the secret of popularity lies in its prevalence not only within the historical homeland, but also in many other countries. True, sometimes, in order to prepare a dish according to the original recipe, it is necessary to use local ingredients that are not entirely available in another region. These 50 most delicious dishes in the world include Swiss fondue, Ukrainian borscht, hamburger, and even potato chips - it’s impossible to list them all. Here are the recipes for just some of them.

The most delicious Japanese dish in the world

Of course, this is sushi (rolls, sashimi). They are rightfully part of Eastern culture and philosophy. Making sushi is both a science and a rather lengthy ceremony. Many Japanese recipes are based on rice and seafood with the addition of specific herbs and spices. So, for cooking we need the following ingredients:

Preparing sushi (rolls)

Cook the rice (two cups of cereal per two cups of water) until cooked, so that the liquid has completely boiled away. Season the cooled rice with Japanese vinegar without turning it into porridge. All this can be done with a wooden spatula.

Next, place a sheet of nori on a special bamboo mat with the pimples facing up. Place an even thin layer of rice on it. Apply a little wasabi on top (be careful as this product is very spicy). Cut the trout and avocado (or fresh cucumbers) into thin slices and place them in the middle of the structure so that the rolling process can be carried out. Using a bamboo mat, tightly roll the roll blank. Then, using a thin sharp knife, after wetting it in water, cut the resulting sausage into portions (several centimeters in height).

The most delicious Italian dish in the world

Lasagna is a famous Italian menu dish that has gained worldwide popularity. To prepare it, you need to buy special sheets of dough, which today are sold in any large supermarket in the department where flour and pasta are presented.

Ingredients: 250 grams of minced meat, half a kilo of tomatoes, 200 grams of onions, 150 grams of carrots, several cloves of garlic, one liter of milk, 100 grams of butter, 100 grams of flour, 300 grams of hard cheese, 50 grams of Parmesan cheese, lean oil, salt and pepper to taste.

Finely chop the onion and garlic. Grate the carrots coarsely. Peel the tomatoes and grate them coarsely (you can also process them in a blender). Fry the onion and garlic in vegetable oil (preferably olive oil) in a non-stick frying pan. There are also carrots. We also lightly fry it. Next, add minced meat to the resulting mixture in the pan. Fry for about twenty minutes. At the end, add the tomatoes, mix and simmer for another five minutes. The result was a fragrant filling.

Cooking bechamel

Taco

It must be said that in different countries, chefs have different ideas about the most delicious dish in the world. We will implement the recipe for one of them, Mexican, without delay.

Taco (taco - emphasis on the first syllable) is a traditional dish of Latin America (and Mexico in particular). It consists of tortillas and filling placed inside. Sauce is also served. Since there are no special restrictions, the filling is supposed to be varied. Baking flatbreads is basically the same everywhere. In order to prepare this most delicious dish in the world, the recipe for which is given below, you first need to bake the base - flat cakes.

Tortillas

Ingredients: two glasses of corn flour, a small spoon of salt, a pinch of soda, baking powder, a large spoon of cooking margarine. We prepare ordinary dough, which, for example, is suitable in consistency for dumplings. We form small balls from it. From them we make cakes with a diameter of about 20 centimeters and a thickness of two millimeters. Fry them in a non-stick frying pan without oil. After frying each one, sweep the flour from the pan, otherwise it will burn! We keep the finished semi-finished products on a paper towel. In principle, they can be frozen and used later.

Filling

It consists of several layers. The ingredients should be finely chopped or passed through a meat grinder. Take chicken fillet (500 grams). Fry it until half cooked (with a minimum amount of oil). Finely chop a few seedless chili peppers. Fry with chicken. The water from the filling should evaporate completely! Separately, chop several onions and mix with the juice of one lime. Separately - tomatoes (200 grams), finely chopped. And also grated cheese (200 grams). So, we ended up with four bowls with different ingredients. Now take the finished flatbreads and place them on plates (if frozen, heat them up). In the middle of each, spoon out different types of filling to suit your taste. We wrap it in a flatbread and eat it. You can dip it in spicy food. This makes tacos tastier!

Paella

Another dish that can rightfully be included in the most delicious dishes in the world (see recipes below) is paella. It comes from Spain, more precisely from Valencia. There are many options for preparing paella. Common ingredients for all: rice and saffron (to color each grain a piquant yellow color). A large frying pan called a paella is also needed. The rest varies depending on the area of ​​preparation: meat, seafood, snails, cheese, lobsters. In the classic version, the dish is cooked over an open fire. All ingredients must be ready at the same time, and the rice remains crumbly. Various types of paella, according to Spanish chefs, are the most delicious dishes in the world. Some recipes are given below.

Valencian

Ingredients: half a kilogram of chicken, half a kilogram of rabbit, 200 grams of green beans, 200 grams of beans, green pepper, three tomatoes, half a kilogram of rice, saffron, spices, olive oil.

Stew chicken and rabbit (cut into small pieces). We also simmer all the vegetables in a frying pan. Add chopped peeled tomatoes there and simmer for another five minutes. Then fill everything with boiling water (two liters). We continue to simmer until the meat is completely cooked (this process will take about forty minutes). Add rice, saffron and spices. Cook for about another twenty minutes on low heat.

With seafood

Paella with seafood is prepared in approximately the same way. We replace meat with shrimp, mussels, snails, and squid. Only the initial stage of preparation is shorter in time, since it is not recommended to process the seafood itself for a long time. Otherwise, as usual, you should get a crumbly mass, aromatic and fragrant.
