I sure hope so, because here's one from my kitchen -

hints, tibetan, but usually made with chunks of beef rather than ground (although IMHO it tastes better with ground)

Hey rahma, the aloo is incorrect but I can see how it can look that way. It's matar paneer, so

Please guess again for A. It's eaten in the south of France, especially in the summer

What looks like calamari in F is not meat. The original color is snow white but changes to beige during cooking

Utopia, your guesses are pretty close so I'll just go ahead and tell you. It's a Chilean sandwich called Lomito - sliced pork, vegetables and condiments on a bread roll

Utopia


The 1st Chinese character means "dry"
2nd = "fried"
3rd = "beef" or "ox"
4th = "rivers" because the noodles look like river waves when plated. So the meaning is "dry-fried beef and rivers"

Did you try guessing any of the France foods? No one got them.

I've got a bunch of pics but I will post them one by one not to overwhelm anyone
I love this game!!

Here is something that will probably be familiar to most people- and the fries and fruits are just sides- the food you have to name is that breaded meat - I will say it is made of beef, and it isn't ground but rather finely chopped. It has a german name

I didn't realize no one got those but I have no idea what their names could be...Maybe we need some hints, like their ingredients?

Do what I did and post several at a time. As for your cutlet I think it's a type of schnitzel, so my fingers will be Googling in about a minute to find the answer;unless you'll accept plain "schnitzel" as an answer. ....... I fancy myself as having a "Google keenness"

For A, some ingredients are dijon mustard, red onion, and a chief ingredient is tuna. In the summertime, people in the south of France can eat it with one hand while walking/talking/doing leisurely French things.

For B, it's a poultry dish

Here are all the pics I came up with, they are mostly foods from my culture:
these are vine leaves stuffed with rice and spices, and sometimes ground meat. Several Mediterranean countries have this dish, but the one I'm looking for is the Turkish variety:


And this is made of ground meat, eggplant and has an egg custard on top:


This is another Mediterranean food, this is the Turkish variety and in this picture, it is made with spinach inside but it doesn't have to have anything green and in most cases it's filled with just cheese:



My faaaavorite food !!!!



And then something from across the globe, I made this for my Spanish class a while ago. These are from Ecuador- they are patties made of potatoes and are baked, used as an appetizer. This may be a bit more challenging:



Yummy yummy desssert..Everyone should get this:



PS: Can you tell how much I love FOOD!!!

this one's American - yeah it's beef but tell me the exact name and I'll provide the Wikipedia page (it has its own page)

hints:

1. a lot of non-butchers (which means 99.99% of us!) have never heard of this cut


2. starts with the letter H

yesssss Pan-bagnat you got it! (Did you Google? I'm mostly Googling here
) According to sources it means "wet bread" in a dialect of French or "bathed bread"

my guess for your favorite food =

Peperoni Ripieni al Riso e BaccalÃ:censor:
http://italianfood.about.com/od/bell.../r/blr1358.htm

Dolmadakia Yialantzi

yup!!! looked up French sandwiches but I wasn't sure because there were a lot of names depending on what kind of meat the sandwich has and when you said tuna I was sure

It looks very close, but the ones I had in mind are not Italian but Greek/Turkish/Mediterranean and it's called Gemista- I will accept yours though since the picture looks exactly the same ...I think the stuffing is probably a little different...

Yes the first pic is right, in short they can be called simply dolma or sarma dolma
It is good stuff although it may look gross

And yup the last one is flan or creme caramel!!!
