Greek cuisine refers to the traditional foods and cooking styles of Greece and Greek communities around the world. Like many Mediterranean cuisines, it is centered around olive oil, grains, vegetables, herbs, fish, and meat.

Common ingredients include olives, feta and other cheeses, yogurt, lemon, herbs, bread, lamb, seafood, nuts, and honey. Greek cuisine has roots in ancient Greek and Byzantine traditions while also reflecting influences from the Middle East, the Balkans, and Italy.

Churros are a common snack originating in Spain and because sugar cane was brought to the Americas through Spanish colonization, all of Mexico's sweets have a Hispanic origin, often with a Muslim heritage such as Alfeñiques.

Beans In addition to corn, common beans (

Phaseolus vulgaris ) are a historical component of the Mexican diet. Genetic evidence indicates domestication occurred in Mesoamerica as well as South America. Common bean varieties and cultivars used in Mexican cuisine include the pinto bean and the black turtle bean. Beans and corn are deficient in different essential amino acids but complement each other. When eaten in combination, they provide a complete protein source.

The best known of Mexico's street foods is the taco, whose origin is based on the pre-Hispanic custom of picking up other foods with tortillas as utensils were not used. The origin of the word is in dispute, with some saying it is derived from Nahuatl
and others from various Spanish phrases.
It possible the term taco comes from the term tlaco or tlacatl, which means middle or half in nahuatl. Tacos are not eaten as the main meal; they are generally eaten before midday or late in the evening. Just about any other foodstuff can be wrapped in a tortilla, and in Mexico, it varies from rice, to meat (plain or in sauce), to cream, to vegetables, to cheese, or simply to plain chile peppers or fresh salsa. Preferred fillings vary from region to region with pork generally found more often in the center and south, beef in the north, seafood along the coasts, and chicken and lamb in most of the country.

Italian cuisine refers to the traditional foods and cooking styles of Italy, with origins extending back to ancient Roman times. It is a Mediterranean cuisine known for its regional diversity and emphasis on simple, high-quality ingredients.

Common ingredients include pasta, tomatoes, olive oil, cheese, vegetables, herbs, seafood, and meats. Popular dishes include pizza, pasta, risotto, and lasagna. Italian cuisine has spread throughout the world and has influenced many international food traditions.
