Map of Dishes is a world food map. Each country shows only its signature local dishes: food that started there and that locals treat as their own. Today the map has 824 dishes from 92 countries, and more countries are being added.

We keep three to five dishes per country that began in that country or region and are closely tied to it. Dishes that are eaten everywhere, such as the hamburger, are left out, and dishes claimed by several countries say so in their history.

Every dish shows its name in the local script, the pronunciation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and a simple English spelling such as RAH-men. 66 dishes also have a recording by a native speaker from Wikimedia Commons. We do not use computer voices.

Yes. The bar above the map filters every dish by when it is eaten (breakfast, lunch and dinner, teatime, snack, late night, festive), by taste, by main ingredient and by type. Countries without a match fade, and the address keeps your filters so you can share them.

We write each history ourselves after reading at least two public sources, usually the English and the local-language encyclopedia articles, and we list the sources and the date we read them under every dish. Legends are marked as legends.

Yes. On any dish, press Want to try or I've eaten this. An eaten dish gets a stamp on its photo and on the map, and you can give it one to five stars and, once signed in, a short public review. Each dish shows its average once at least five people have rated it. Marks work without an account in this browser; a free account (Google or an email code) keeps them on every device. Your list stays private.
