Spaghetti and meatballs

About “Spaghetti and meatballs”

• In Italy, meatballs are an appetizer, or even a main course. Adding them to spaghetti wouldn't make much sense to an Italian cook: Main dishes and pasta are never served together in Italy. The combination was almost certainly developed by Italian immigrants to New York City in the early 20th century. The National Pasta Association, founded in the U.S. in 1904, published what is apparently the earliest recipe for spaghetti and meatballs in the 1920s.

Tacos

You've Got to Try Before You Die: “Tacos”

• When we say tacos, we don't mean the deep-fried jobbies dressed up in lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese. We're talking traditional Mexican tacos, the kind you buy from street sellers in Mexico City and elsewhere in Mexico, those simple arrangements of homemade corn tortillas, meat, onions, cilantro, and squirts of lime. With such a short ingredients list and modest size, it's easy to underestimate the incredible marriage of flavors they deliver. That is, until you try them.

Hamburger

One of the best world food is “Hamburger”

• When something tastes so good that people spend $20 billion each year in a single restaurant chain devoted to it, you know it has to fit into this list. McDonald's may not offer the best burgers, but that's the point -- it doesn't have to. The bread-meat-salad combination is so good that entire countries have ravaged their eco-systems just to produce more cows.

Fajitas

The history of “Fajitas”

• "Faja" is Spanish for strip or sash, and fajitas are a dish of little strips of meat (originally skirt steak), fried with bell peppers and onions and served with flour tortillas. Fajitas were originally trail food cooked up by Texas chuckwagon chefs on cattle drives. Modern versions, which gained popularity only in the latter part of the 20th century, are made not only with beef but with chicken, pork, shrimp and other proteins, and are usually served sizzling on a hot metal platter.
