Massaman curry, Thailand

World most delicious food: Massaman Curry, a popular dish from the south of Thailand.
Emphatically the king of curries, and perhaps the king of all foods. Spicy, coconutty, sweet and savory, its combination of flavors has more personality than a Thai election.

 It is most often served as a beef dish but those who can eat pork can use this instead. It can also be served as a chicken, duck or tofu dish, depending on one’s preference and beliefs. The combination of spicy, sweet and savoury flavors makes it a unique curry. The dish is served with rice and usually includes coconut milk, cashews, cinnamon, bay leaves, cloves, cumin and various other spices and herbs.

Neapolitan pizza, Italy

The Neapolitan pizza, especially in its variant “margherita” is without doubt the most famous Italian dish in the world.

The best pizza was and still is the simple Neapolitan, an invention now protected by its own trade association that insists on sea salt, high-grade wheat flour, the use of only three types of fresh tomatoes, hand-rolled dough and the strict use of a wood-fired oven, among other quality stipulations.

With just a few ingredients -- dough, tomatoes, olive oil, salt and basil (the marinara pizza does not even contain cheese) -- the Neapolitans created a food that few make properly, but everyone enjoys thoroughly.

Chocolate, Mexico

Traditional Mexican chocolate, with its intensely tannic, spicy flavor, is an essential ingredient for complex moles and sauces.  The unique range--which, with all due respect, you just won't find in a bar of Valrhona--is thanks as much to the high quality of Mexican cacao as to the low-tech method used to turn beans into chocolate. Mexican chocolate is very minimally processed, made quickly and easily without recourse to expensive, computerized equipment.

Sushi, Japan

Sushi’s popularity has risen worldwide and is a healthy food of choice as a snack or for lunch. It has its origins in Japan, where fresh fish, vegetables and rice are the main dishes of choice. This unique cuisine is served with cooked rice and either raw vegetables or raw fish with unique presentations.

Now that sushi has become so popular worldwide many rolls feature ingredients that would not be found in traditional Japanese sushi rolls like cream cheese.

Peking duck, China

Peking Duck, or Peking Roast Duck is a famous duck dish from Beijing, China that has been prepared since the imperial era, and is now considered one of China’s national foods.

It originated in Beijing and is served in restaurants all over the city. It is normally served with hoisin sauce or sweet bean sauce alongside of spring onions and steamed pancakes.

Hamburger, Germany

When something tastes so good that people spend US$20 billion each year in a single restaurant chain devoted to it, you know it has to fit into this list.

It may seem as simple as a food that got its name from Hamburg, Germany. But the original ground beef patty on a bun may have been from the Mongols who brought it to Russia; seafarers that brought the patty idea back to the port city of Hamburg.

Poached, flaked mackerel, tamarind, chili, mint, lemongrass, onion, pineapple … one of Malaysia's most popular dishes is an addictive spicy-sour fish broth with noodles (especially great when fused with ginger), that'll have your nose running before the spoon even hits your lips.

The ingredients used in creating this tantalizing dish are simple and can be found almost anywhere. Garlic, lemongrass, fresh turmeric, shallots, chilli paste and belacan are all grounded into a paste before starting on the broth. Tamarind paste is then mixed with warm water, squeezed and sieved into a stock pot and brought to a boil. Vietnamese mint leaves, sugar, dried tamarind slices or locally known as asam keping, slices of torch ginger bud or bunga kantan and the ground paste of spices are added into the boiling broth. Cleaned whole mackerel fish is then added into the stock and boiled until cooked. The fish is then removed, set to cool before cleaning off the bones and flaking its meat. The broth is simmered to reduce and intensify the flavours. The mint leaves and dried tamarind slices are removed before putting in the flaked fish meat. It is usually served with thick rice noodles garnished with sliced cucumber, pineapples, onions, mint leaves and a spoonful of thick prawn paste. _{http://www.malaysia.com/penang-asam-laksa-food.html}

Shepherd's pie, Britain

Cottage pie, also known as shepherd's pie, is a British meat pie with a mashed potato top. It is traditionally made with leftover roast meat, but today it is often made with fresh minced or ground meat, most commonly beef or lamb.

Tastes best at the end of a gloomy, rainy day with an open fire licking at the chimney breast and Ricky Gervais insulting people on the telly. Which is lucky, as that's what most days are like in England.

It was revealed in a survey yesterday that Shepherd's Pie is Britain's favorite cook-at-home dish.  It is quick, easy, nutritious and above all, in these straitened times, it is also cheap to make. This traditional recipe for Shepherd’s Pie can be made with mince or a meat free alternative, meaning it’s perfect for everyone.

Corn on the cob, global

God probably created corn just to have an excuse to invent melted butter. There's something about biting down on a cob of corn -- it's a delicate enough operation to require concentration but primal enough to make you feel like the caveman you always wanted to be. Great food is caveman food.

Donuts, United States

These all-American fried wheels of dough need no introduction, but we will say one thing: the delicious guilt of snacking on these addictive calorie bombs makes them taste even better. If that's possible.

June 1 is National Doughnut Day in US.
