The Most Eaten Meal in Every Country

Here's the strange truth about national dishes: almost none of them are actually national. In this video we break down the most eaten meal in 15 of the world's most famous countries — and uncover the hidden foreign origins behind the food each one is proudest of. You'll find out why Thailand's most famous dish was invented by a government campaign, how the British Navy gave Japan its favorite comfort meal, why the hamburger is named after a German city, the reason Spaniards don't actually eat paella every day, and why India has no such thing as "curry." We travel through the United States, Mexico, Brazil, the UK, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Turkey, Egypt, India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Thailand — one plate at a time. 🍽️ What's the one meal YOUR country eats more than anything else?
