Flavours of the World
Written byAustralia is one of the most multicultural countries in the world, with many flavours to choose from. Let UberEATS open up your culinary world through these five foreign favourites available in your city.
Mexico:
It’s no secret that the culinary world is loco for Mexican food, and there are few things better than the glorious taco. Starting as a poor man’s meal, this meaty pocket of goodness has transformed to become a worldwide phenomenon (they get a whole Tuesday dedicated to them!). They’re one of the most versatile foods around, with variations to suit the pickiest of eaters. Hard or soft? Fish, chicken or beef? Mild or spicy? With so much choice, it might be hard to choose just one. Por que no los dos?
Italy:
We can thank the Italians for many creamy confections, such as cannoli, panna cotta and affogato, although it’s tiramisu that really takes the cake. Literally meaning “pick-me-up”, the caffeinated dessert is the perfect finisher to a doughy pizza or saucy pasta. The town of Treviso adamantly claims that they are the birthplace of tiramisu. Four other Italian regions argue that the dessert is a product of their genius, which is where the debate becomes rather…layered. Whatever the truth, we’re just happy to sit on the sideline and enjoy the heavenly combination of the four C’s – chocolate, coffee, cake and cream.
Thailand:
Thai and find a cuisine more aromatic and flavoursome than Thai. With a balance of sweet, sour, salty and spicy flavours in every dish, this unique menu caters to every taste. While any item on the menu is sure to leave you satisfied, Pad Thai is a crowd favourite. If tacos belong to Mexico, this notorious noodle dish is the jewel of Thailand.
America:
America is known for its burgers, hot dogs and wings, but it’s not all bar food. Their desserts have taken the world by storm too. As American as Lady Liberty, the humble apple pie has to be the winter dessert of choice. Believe it or not, the crust of apple pies were previously unsweetened and called ‘coffins’. They weren’t even meant to be eaten, but were simply used to case the filling. Ridiculous, right? The sugary crust is the best part! At least there’s one thing we can all agree on – “my grandma makes the best apple pie in the world.”
Middle East:
We all know the most delicious foods are the ones that are unhealthy. Somehow, Middle Eastern cuisine is breaking this myth by being delicious and nutritious. Maybe that’s why so many health-conscious consumers are going crazy over the garlicky dip, hummus. Whether it’s slathered on crackers, carrot sticks, pita bread or koftas, this protein and fibre-packed snack is a winner any time of the day (just make sure you’ve got a piece of gum at the ready!).
