Prosciutto crudo, in English often shortened to prosciutto is Italian uncooked, unsmoked, and dry-cured ham. Prosciutto crudo is usually served thinly sliced. In Italian, prosciutto means any kind of ham, either dry-cured (prosciutto crudo or simply crudo) or cooked (prosciutto cotto), but in English-speaking countries, it usually means either Italian prosciutto crudo or similar hams made elsewhere. However, the word "prosciutto" itself is not protected; cooked ham may legally be, and in practice is, sold as prosciutto (usually as prosciutto cotto, and from Italy or made in the Italian style) in English-speaking regions.

Sushi is a Japanese dish featuring specially prepared rice and usually some type of fish or seafood, often raw, but sometimes cooked. And though you might automatically associate the word sushi with raw fish, it's actually the rice that is the most important ingredient. Indeed, the word "sushi" refers to the sour flavor of the vinegared rice. Regardless of the toppings or fillings, sushi always includes rice. As a matter of fact, sushi rice is so important that sushi chefs in Japan undergo years of training just to learn how to cook the rice properly, before they ever begin to handle any fish or seafood.

Spaghetti is a thin, straight, cylindrical type of pasta of Italian origin, the most popular of all pastas eaten today. Noodles made of wheat and eggs were known in the Mediterranean world in antiquity, but the pasta we know as spaghetti—which takes its name from the Italian spaghetto, “little cord”—was probably introduced to Sicily by the island’s Arab conquerors in the 8th century. The name was first recorded in 1874, however, suggesting that spaghetti may have remained a regional dish until shortly after the unification of Italy. Spaghetti was likely eaten with butter and cheese until about that time too; although the tomato was introduced to Italy as part of the Columbian Exchange, it was not widely eaten until the 19th century.

A Buffalo wing in American cuisine is an unbreaded chicken wing section (flap or drumette) that is generally deep-fried and then coated or dipped in a sauce consisting of a vinegar-based cayenne pepper hot sauce and melted butter before serving. They are traditionally served hot, along with celery sticks and carrot sticks with blue cheese dressing or, primarily outside of New York, ranch dressing for dipping. Buffalo wings are named for Buffalo, New York, where they were invented, and have no relation to the animal. They are often called simply wings, hot wings, or chicken wings.

Root vegetables like carrots, beets, and tubers — potatoes — grow underground. The root stores energy for the plant, which translates into energy for people when eaten. Food grown underground is typically rich in carbohydrates, the energy cells of the food chain, but it can also be a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals.

Closely tied to harvest festivals that date back centuries, Thanksgiving makes use of all the vegetables that are traditionally harvested at this time of year. That means lots of root vegetables. These are vegetables that grow in the ground, under the soil, rather than above ground, or on trees or plants. So that means potatoes of all kinds, parsnips, carrots, squash, yams, and the most popular Thanksgiving veg – pumpkins. As well as serving up pumpkin as a vegetable, people also like to sweeten their mashed pumpkin to use as a delicious filling for this traditional Thanksgiving pie.

Ramen is a type of Japanese noodle soup. Once a simple street food, it’s now become a gourmet phenomenon around the world. Every bowl of ramen has three main components: broth, noodles, and toppings. Although it’s unclear exactly when ramen first appeared in Japan, historians believe 19th-century Chinese immigrants brought an early version of it with them to Japan. Originally nicknamed “Chuka soba,” early ramen was a simple dish consisting of noodles in broth topped with roast pork. It became popular in port cities like Yokohama and Nagasaki, where workers would buy it from food carts, or “yatai,” and Chinese restaurants. Rairaiken, the first true ramen shop, opened in Asakusa, Tokyo, in 1910. With the invention of the industrial noodle machine later that decade, ramen quickly became a symbol of Japan’s urbanization.

Lasagna, also known as lasagne, is a type of pasta, possibly one of the oldest types, made of very wide, flat sheets. Either term can also refer to an Italian dish made of stacked layers of lasagna alternating with fillings such as ragù (ground meats and tomato sauce), béchamel sauce, vegetables, cheeses (which may include ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan), and seasonings and spices. The dish may be topped with grated cheese, which becomes melted during baking. Typically cooked pasta is assembled with the other ingredients and then baked in an oven. The resulting baked pasta is cut into single-serving square or rectangular portions.

Key lime pie is an American dessert pie made of lime juice, egg yolks, and sweetened condensed milk. It may be served with no topping, topped with a meringue topping made from egg whites, or with whipped cream; and it can be cooked in a pie crust, graham cracker crust, or no crust. The dish is named after the small Key limes, which are more aromatic than the common Persian limes, and have yellow juice. An "icebox lime pie", was mentioned as a specialty of the Florida Keys in 1935, and a recipe under the name "Key Lime Pie" was published in 1940. Florida statute 15.052, passed in July 2006, designates Key lime pie "the official Florida state pie".

A coq au vin is a classic French stew in which chicken is braised slowly in red wine and a little brandy to yield a supremely rich sauce filled with tender meat, crisp bits of bacon, mushrooms, and burnished pearl onions. Traditional recipes call for a whole cut-up chicken, but using all dark meat gives you a particularly succulent dish without the risk of overcooked white meat.

The Margherita pizza needs little introduction. The pizza is somewhat of a national dish of Italy, which is fitting considering it was patriotically invented in honor of Queen Margherita in 1889. Its three toppings even represent the Italian flag, with white mozzarella, green basil leaves, and red tomato. It goes without saying that the Margherita pizza is one of the most iconic dishes in all of the Mediterranean countries.
