5. Poutine-  Poutine is a wonderful dish of french fries and cheese curds topped with a brown gravy. Although this savory concoction is available in the U.S., it is one of the most quintessential Canadian dishes.

6. Spanakopita- This savory spinach and feta pie is a Greek staple originating almost 400 years ago. It is a baked dish consisting of spinach, feta cheese, eggs, and scallions enclosed in layers of phyllo.
7. Goulash- Goulash, a stew made with meat, assorted vegetables and paprika. It literally translates to "Herdsman" in Hungarian because they made the dish during cattle drives in harsh conditions. Although, the meaty stew didn't get its rich red color until Turks invaded and introduced paprika to the country during the 16th century.
8. Deep-Fried Olives- Pasta and pizza are the first foods that come to mind when you think iconic Italian food. While Deep-Fried Olives are traditionally made using these fine local green olives, which are then stuffed with a meat filling, breaded and deep fried. The dish originated in the southern region in a town called Ascoli-Piceno and has since spread north.
9. Bulgogi- Bulgogi, Korean-style grilled or roasted dish which  literally translates to "fire meat" and gets its slightly sweet flavor from a sugar-and-soy sauce marinade.
