Foods Named After Places

Travel the globe from your kitchen

If you have the means and the time, traveling can offer a great opportunity to try new cuisines. But, if you're like us and have real life obligations that prevent you from picking up and traveling the world in search of foods, you might have to settle for foods named after various geographical locations.

Many foods take their names from locations they originated in, popularized around, or are inspired by, and these are some of our favorites. Let us know if we missed any in the comments section below:
