Food Fight
Which food deserves the top spot — for all the wrong reasons?
Most poopular · Street Food
Public votes set the order. #1 is the most pooped.
The vertical rotisserie was a 19th-century Ottoman idea, and it is the ancestor of shawarma, gyros and al pastor too.
The name may come from Mexican silver miners, who called the paper-wrapped charges they used tacos.
Descends from the Austrian kipferl, sold in a Viennese bakery in Paris in 1839. The flaky layering that makes it a croissant came later, and that part is French.
A sausage in a bun, and New York's tax office lists it as a sandwich. A Massachusetts court asked the same question about a burrito and said no.
Quebec, 1950s, and the name is local slang for a mess. The cheese has to be fresh curds: if they do not squeak against your teeth, it is not poutine.
A large flour tortilla wrapped around everything at once, sealed so it can be eaten with one hand.
A hamburger with cheese melted on the patty, which is enough of a difference to get its own name and its own defenders.
Ground chickpeas or fava beans, fried. The mix is made from soaked raw beans, not cooked ones, or it falls apart.
Tortilla chips under melted cheese and toppings, built so that the bottom layer always ends up soggy.
