Foodnerd’s Pick of Dishes from Around the World!

There are no two opinions that Pakistanis love food. But, as our desi cuisine is one that is full of flavours and spices it’s very hard for most people to find something that appeals to their mature taste buds when they travel around the world. To save you from the misery of trying food that won’t probably be liked by you, foodnerd has compiled a list of items you should try around the world. 

There are a lot of restaurants that serve international food too. So, you might find some of the dishes mentioned below in your own country! Foodnerd lets you order food online, so if your chosen restaurant is on the portal, it’s a bonus! You can just order your selected food item from the comforts of your home! So, without further ado, let’s look at our picks from around the world: 

Poutine, Canada: 

Canadians qualify it as the king of comfort food. French fries smothered in cheese curd and brown gravy might sound disgusting and doesn’t look much better. But the assembly of these items together tastes heavenly! One mouthful of this flavourful dish and you will be digging your spoon again and again into the dish. Poutine is a Canadian street food that is loved by people of all ages. It’s served at the most renowned restaurants as well as local vendors. Overall, it’s a must-try dish! 

Apfelstrudel, Austria: 

Not only does this dish taste amazing, it looks gorgeous too! It’s a close cousin to the class American apple pie and is the best dessert you could ever ask for. Apfelstrudel is a combination of tart apple and sweet pastry dough. Austrians love having this dessert after their strong, black, afternoon coffee! 

Pizza, Italy: 

Given how popular pizza is, I really think it should be given the status of ‘the international dish’. You can find it all over the world but its origin is Italy. It’s a savoury dish that is made of a round, flattened base of wheat-based dough, topped with tomatoes, cheese, and other delicious ingredients. I am not going to say that you should try it, because I am sure you have! If you are craving pizza reading this, then order it right now from foodnerd! (Like I am about to!) 

Kabsah, Saudia Arabia: 

Kabsah is a very popular dish in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East. It’s a rich dish, rich in flavour, made up of a variety of spices, like cloves, saffron, cinnamon, pepper, etc. It’s eaten with a dish of vegetables or meat and is a very hearty meal. 

Masala Dosa, India: 

Dosa is a South Indian delicacy. The crispy, rice-batter crepe wraps up a spicy mixture of mashed potatoes and tastes amazing. It’s dipped in coconut chutney, pickles and different sauces to enhance the taste. It’s a brunch food that you won’t be able to keep your hands off from. Dosa is paper-thin and crunchy in texture and feels amazing when it touches your tongue. It’s a trademark of Indian cuisine. 

Tacos, Mexico: 

This was an easy pick. If you visit Mexico and don’t try the tacos there, you really will be missing out. Tacos are handmade tortillas stuffed with pieces of grilled beef, rubbed in oil and sea salt and then covered with salsa, guacamole, onions and other seasonings. You can have tacos for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Whatever you are in the mood for! Mexican food is really liked by the people from the subcontinent because of Mexican food has a good spice level! You can look up for Tacos on foodnerd, there are a lot of restaurants in Pakistan that serve them. 

Sushi, Japan:

Sushi is the obvious choice for a Japanese dish. It’s gained popularity around the globe despite being a very simple dish. It’s a combination of seasoned rice, fish, egg or vegetables. Sushi means “sour rice” in Japanese. There are a variety of ways for making sushi- cooked egg and rice, avocado and rice, cooked fish and rice or raw fish and rice. Though the last type is the most famous type of sushi around the world. Foodnerd has many Japanese dishes onboard, you can visit the website or app and order it right now!
