True Foodies Can Name All Of These Famous Dishes From Just Three Hints

There are many different breeds of foodies. Some of us go out once a week to a new restaurant to get our foodie fix. Some of us try to sample a new type of cuisine at least once per month. Then there are those of us who cook our own foodgasmic delights, spending hours reading up on the latest recipes online before putting our skills to the test and inviting our friends over as guinea pigs (friends we don't mind losing if things don't quite go as planned). As a rule, as long as a person loves food, they can call themselves a foodie. It doesn't really matter how that love of food manifests.
