50. Buttered popcorn, United States 美国奶油爆米花

Corn -- the workhorse of the industrial world -- is best when its sweet variety is fried up with lashings of butter till it bursts and then snarfed in greasy fistfuls while watching Netflix late at night.

玉米是工业界的主要原料之一，在美食界同样功不可没。甜玉米加大量奶油炒到爆开花，然后在深夜一边看电视节目，一边将大把甜腻的爆米花塞进嘴里。

49. Masala dosa, India 印度咖喱土豆卷饼

A crispy, rice-batter crepe encases a spicy mix of mashed potato, which is then dipped in coconut chutney, pickles, tomato-and-lentil-based sauces and other condiments. It's a fantastic breakfast food that'll keep you going till lunch, when you'll probably come back for another.

用米糊摊成一张香脆的薄饼，包上辛香的土豆泥，然后蘸着椰子酸辣酱、泡菜、西红柿扁豆酱等佐料吃。这是一种极好的早餐食品，为你提供整个上午的能量，而午餐时你可能还想再来上一份。

48. Potato chips, United Kingdom 英国薯片

It's unclear when and where the potato chip was born -- US legend has it that they were invented in New York in 1853, but the earliest known recipe for "Potatoes Fried in Slices or Shavings" appears in a bestselling 1817 cookbook by Englishman William Kitchiner. Whatever the case, they're now one of the world's most child-friendly and best foods. But think of them this way -- if a single chip cost, say, $5, it'd be a far greater (and more popular) delicacy than caviar, a prize worth fighting wars over.

没人清楚薯片是何时何地诞生的，美国人传说薯片是1853年在纽约发明的，但是薯片最早的食谱出现在英国人威廉·基其纳1817年的畅销烹饪书中。无论薯片是怎么来的，如今薯片已经成了世界上最受孩子们喜欢的食品之一。不过，也可以换个角度来看待它们：如果一片薯片，比方说要5美元，那它就会是远比鱼子酱更诱人的美味。

47. Seafood paella, Spain 西班牙海鲜拌饭

The sea is lapping just by your feet, a warm breeze whips the tablecloth around your legs and a steamy pan of paella sits in front of you. Shrimp, lobster, mussels and cuttlefish combine with white rice and various herbs, oil and salt in this Valencian dish to send you immediately into holiday mode. Though if you have it in Spain, you're probably there already.

大海冲刷着你的脚，和煦的微风吹动桌布轻拂你的腿，一盘热气腾腾的海鲜拌饭摆在你的面前。小虾、龙虾、贻贝和墨鱼，配以白米饭和各种香草，加上油和盐新鲜烹制出这款瓦伦西亚美食，会立即带给你一种假日风情。

46. Som tam, Thailand 泰国青木瓜沙拉

To prepare Thailand's most famous salad, pound garlic and chilies with a mortar and pestle. Toss in tamarind juice, fish sauce, peanuts, dried shrimp, tomatoes, lime juice, sugar cane paste, string beans and a handful of grated green papaya. Grab a side of sticky rice.

制作这种泰国最有名的沙拉，要先将大蒜和辣椒用杵臼捣烂，然后加入罗望子汁、鱼酱、花生、干虾、西红柿、柠檬汁、甘蔗糊、四季豆和少量磨碎的青木瓜。配着糯米饭一起吃。

45. Chicken rice, Singapore 新加坡鸡肉饭

Often called the "national dish" of Singapore, this steamed or boiled chicken is served atop fragrant oily rice, with sliced cucumber as the token vegetable. Variants include roasted chicken or soy sauce chicken. However it's prepared, it's one of Singapore's best foods. The dipping sauces -- premium dark soy sauce, chili with garlic and pounded ginger -- give it that little extra oomph to ensure whenever you're not actually in Singapore eating chicken rice, you're thinking of it.

通常被称为新加坡的“国菜”，清蒸或水煮的鸡肉盖在芳香油亮的米饭上，再加几片黄瓜作为搭配的蔬菜。变化形式有烤鸡肉的或酱油鸡肉的。无论怎么烹饪，新加坡鸡肉饭都是新加坡最好的美食之一。用优质老抽、辣椒、大蒜和姜泥调成的蘸料给它增添了额外的魅力，保证让你不在新加坡吃鸡肉饭时，也会想起这里。

44. Poutine, Canada 加拿大普丁

French fries smothered in cheese curds and brown gravy. Sounds kind of disgusting, looks even worse, but engulfs the mouth in a saucy, cheesy, fried-potato mix that'll have you fighting over the last dollop. Our Canadian friends insist it's best enjoyed at 3 am after "several" beers.

浇上奶酪凝乳和棕褐色肉汁的炸薯条。听起来有点恶心，看起来甚至更糟，但吃上一口之后，汤汁、奶酪和炸薯条混合的香味会让你把它吃个精光。我们的加拿大朋友坚决主张在凌晨3点“几杯”啤酒下肚之后再享用它，效果最佳。

43. Tacos, Mexico 墨西哥卷饼

A fresh, handmade tortilla stuffed with small chunks of grilled beef rubbed in oil and sea salt then covered with guacamole, salsa, onions, cilantro or anything else you want -- perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner. This is the reason no visitor leaves Mexico weighing less than when they arrived.

手工制作的新鲜玉米饼，铺上些事先用油和海盐涂抹的小块烤牛肉，然后再盖上鳄梨酱、莎莎、洋葱、香菜或其他任何你想要的东西，卷起来吃无论早餐、午餐或晚餐，它都是完美选择。这就是为什么去墨西哥的游客都会变胖的原因。

42. Buttered toast with Marmite, UK 英国酸酵母奶油面包

OK, anything buttered is probably going to taste great, but there's something about this tangy, salty, sour, love-it-or-hate-it yeast extract that turns a piece of grilled bread into a reason to go on living. For extra yum (or yuck) factor, add a layer of marmalade.

的确，任何加了奶油的东西可能味道就会很好，但这种有点刺鼻、又咸又酸、让人或爱或恨的酵母提取物，将烤面包变成了生活下去的一个理由。想要添点其它美味因素，还可以再加一层果酱。

41. Stinky tofu, Southeast Asia 东南亚臭豆腐

Nothing really prepares you for the stench of one of the strangest dishes on earth. Like durian, smelly tofu is one of Southeast Asia's most iconic foods. The odor of fermenting tofu is so overpowering many aren't able to shake off the memory for months. So is the legendarily divine taste really worth the effort? Sure it is.

对于这种地球上最奇怪的菜肴之一的恶臭，你会感到防不胜防。和榴莲一样，臭豆腐是东南亚最具代表性的食品之一。豆腐发酵的气味是如此强烈，许多人好几个月都无法摆脱对它的记忆。那么这道传奇美食的味道能否抵消它的臭味呢？当然了。
