You can tell a lot about a country just by tasting its famous dish.
A lot of countries have one iconic dish that is more than just a spectacular meal – it’s a pillar of their culture.
For example, what would South Africa be without the famous BBQ also known as ‘braai’?
To understand the way people eat is to understand the way they live.
Here, we have collected some of the most famous foods from different countries that you simply must try at least once in your life.
1. Samoosa
A samoosa is a savoury snack that is popular and common street food in India. It’s probably because samoosas are delectable and deep-fried with savoury fillings. Spiced potatoes, onions, peas, and lentils are stuffed in traditional samosas.
Hot sizzling samoosa is often accompanied by sweet mint sauce or chutney. These puffy treats are easily available at cafes, grocery shops and restaurants.
2. Mopane worms
You may cringe and flinch at the thought of having to eat mopane worms, but they are not just any worms.
They can be deliciously crunchy when fried, or cooked in stews. They are also highly nutritious and have more protein content than beef.
You can eat them as snacks as part of the food. These are very popular in many parts of Africa.
3. Dosa
Dosa is undoubtedly also one of the kings of Indian cuisine. Made from fermented rice and lentil batter, the simple dosa is cooked on a hot pan with oil, most often sesame oil, until it cooks into a delicate and tasty crepe.
