# Map of Dishes

> Map of Dishes is a world food map of signature local dishes: 338 dishes from 92 countries, each with its local-script name, IPA pronunciation, a plain English spelling and a short sourced history.

Each country keeps three to five dishes that began there and that locals treat as their own; globally generic dishes are left out, and dishes claimed by several countries say so.

Pronunciation: IPA and an English respelling for every dish; 27 dishes also have a native-speaker recording from Wikimedia Commons. No computer-generated voices are used.

Histories are written by the site after reading at least two public sources (usually the English and local-language encyclopedia articles), listed with read dates on each dish page. Legends are marked as legends.

Photos come from Wikimedia Commons under free licences, credited under each photo. The site is non-commercial: no ads and no purchases. An optional free account (Google or email code) keeps a want-to-try list and eaten stamps; eaten dishes can get a 1–5 star rating and a short public review, and each dish shows its average once at least five people have rated it. Corrections: contact@mapofdishes.com.

Every country (/japan/) and dish (/japan/ramen/) has its own URL that opens the same interactive map with the side panel on that country or dish.
