Top 10 Favorite Foods

Food is one of the best things in life. It makes us happy and healthy.

The foods in this list are not just delicious, they are also diverse. They come from different cultures and regions, and they have different tastes and textures. Whether you like it hot or cold, sweet or salty, meaty or veggie, these foods will satisfy your cravings. These are the foods that will make your mouth water and your stomach smile.

The Top Ten

Pizza

Pizza is a yeasted flatbread that is typically topped with tomato sauce and cheese, then baked in an oven. It is commonly served with a variety of toppings, including meats, vegetables, and condiments.
The word pizza was first recorded in the year 997 in a Latin manuscript found in Gaeta, a town... read more

Pizza is the GOAT. It's the perfect blend of cheesy, crispy, and saucy. It can be easily customized and has been many times.
Pizza has been around for centuries and has profoundly had an impact on the world. First starting in Italy, making its way to America and elsewhere, indoctrinating every single human it met with the delicious scent, taste, and touch of the Pizza. Pizza is the best food known to man!

If you could only have one food for the rest of your life, what would you choose?
Answer: PIZZA!
Why?
Because pizza is perhaps the only single food that is simple to make and can cover all of the food types: veggies, meats, dairy, and fruits (like pineapple). It not only looks appetizing but tastes even better with its exquisite, luscious, mouth-watering bursts and bundles of flavor. Jeez, I need some now!
Ice Cream

Ice cream is the best! Indulge yourself in smooth vanilla or chunky chocolate chip. Not only is ice cream delicious, but it's also full of carbohydrates, which are used to power yourself.
If you think ice cream has too much fat or sugar content, you can buy low-fat and low-sugar ice cream. Or you can create homemade ice cream! Just in a small resealable plastic bag, combine half-and-half, sugar, and vanilla. Push out excess air and seal. Into a large resealable plastic bag, combine ice and salt. Place the small bag inside the bigger bag and shake vigorously for 7 to 10 minutes, until the ice cream has hardened.
Then you're ready to eat it! Sprinkle some rainbow sprinkles or any toppings of your choice. Voila! Homemade ice cream with less fat, no artificial sweeteners, and less sugar. What a win-win treat for any occasion!
Fried Chicken

Where to begin? Fried chicken is honestly the best thing in the world, created by someone with great taste. They are like the founding fathers of fried chicken, ensuring you'll love it from the first bite. We all know the motto: Don't look, just taste.
It's so crunchy and tasty, especially with ranch. It's like stepping into delicious territory. Okay, bye - rant over.

Chicken can be made in so many ways: fried, roasted, grilled. There's chicken pizza, curry, sandwiches, tacos, fajitas. You can put a Chinese or Thai sauce on it and pair it with noodles, which tastes amazing.
Here in England, we have 'hunter's chicken'. It's chicken wrapped in bacon, with melted cheese, smothered in BBQ sauce. It is one of the best things ever!
Chocolate

Chocolate is a typically sweet, usually brown food preparation made from roasted and ground seeds of Theobroma cacao, often flavored with vanilla. It is commonly used in desserts, confectionery, and beverages. Chocolate is available in many forms, including dark, milk, and white varieties.

The best buy for me is See's. The dark chocolate raspberry creams are as good as it gets. For diabetics, try the dark chocolates with walnuts. You won't believe they are sugar-free.
They also make the best peanut brittle I have ever tasted. I don't even consider buying any other brittle. They are generous with samples as well, and they just know that once I start, I will be walking out with a box.
How can you beat a place that lets you pick the chocolates you want to fill a box? I have tried nearly all of their flavors and can't think of one that I didn't like. Thanks to all of them for their generosity in giving out samples. The cheap people at Godiva wouldn't even think of doing such a thing.
Hamburgers

Burgers can either be delicious or horrible. They can be nothing but grease, or have cheese in them that I don't like, or have mayonnaise, which is okay, hanging in sticky lumps in the lettuce, which is the worst combination of food ever.
But on the other hand, a good beef burger, turkey burger, or venison burger can be delicious, cooked as perfectly tender and thick meat, which goes excellently with fine mustard, grilled tomato or onion, or powerful chili sauce. Food heaven.

It should be the same as pizza because burgers have meat, cheese, vegetables, condiments, and fresh-baked buns, and pizza has dough, sauce, cheese, and a bunch of toppings. That's why I eat pizza-burgers all the time instead of one over the other.
French Fries

French fries are served hot, either soft or crispy, and are commonly eaten as part of lunch or dinner or as a snack on their own. They frequently appear on fast food menus around the world.
In the United States, fries are usually salted and served with ketchup. In other countries, they are often... read more

With our burger, we want French fries, not potato chips, shoestrings, wedges, or Tater Tots: simple, unadorned French fries. With ketchup. Heinz is fine. These fries should be long and thin, crispy yet soft, preferably hand-cut, skin-on, and blazing hot, like the ones at That's-A-Burger.
You can throw a little garlic in there, like Marc Burger does, or even toss in a whole bunch of spices and garlic chips, like at District Bar. Just don't go too far, like Cortland's Garage with that chili-lime nonsense. If you want to bowl us over with duck-fat fries, like at Sweets and Savories or The Bristol, we won't complain.
Truffle fries are fine if you can pull them off - Bull and Bear and Capital Grille both can - but they're a disaster when they're too thick (you know who you are). All of you, frankly, could take a hint from Five Guys, which currently serves the best fries in Chicago. They're hand-cut, fried in pure peanut oil, and amazing, stuffed for some reason into a Styrofoam cup, then into an overflowing brown bag whose grease stains taste better than most of the fries out there right now.
Bacon

I can't live without bacon. Without pigs, life would be nothing. Without pork, there is no point in life. Without bacon... This comment is too sad. Can I get a tissue, please?
You can never have too much bacon. If you were drowning in a vat of bacon, in a container made of bacon, on a planet made of bacon, in a facility made of bacon that produces bacon, you still wouldn't have enough bacon.
Bacon is a wonderful gift from heaven above. When He dropped pigs from the sky, we all bowed down to praise Him for the magnificent gift He gave. Pork, ribs, ham, bacon.
Only my deepest, darkest nightmares confront me with no bacon.
The best death would be death by bacon.
Steak

A steak, also sometimes called beef steak, is meat generally sliced across the muscle fibers, potentially including a bone. It is normally grilled, though it can also be pan-fried. Steak can also be cooked in sauce, such as in steak and kidney pie, or minced and formed into patties, like hamburgers.

The ultimate man-meal: a nice, juicy rump or porterhouse, grilled to perfection, with a side of thick-cut chips, a salad, and a big glass of ice-cold lager to wash it all down. Bliss!

Ah, steak. I don't even need to say much here. It's just really good and works with endless side dishes and vegetables. It can be cooked in a variety of ways to your liking.
Tacos

A taco is a traditional Mexican dish composed of a corn or wheat tortilla folded or rolled around a filling. Common fillings include beef, pork, chicken, seafood, beans, vegetables, and cheese. Tacos are often garnished with condiments such as salsa, guacamole, and cilantro.

Tacos are the best foods in the whole USA. I mean, pizza is good, but tacos are amazing. If people don't know the awesomeness of tacos, they aren't from the USA.
Tacos and burritos... Pizza and all that American food is solid, but tacos with that soft shell and delicious fillings? That takes the cake!
For being so good, tacos are amazing because they're also healthy. They have raw veggies, beans, and are gluten-free if having corn shells. Just perfect and so satisfying.

I think that tacos are the best food, not only in the USA but all over the world, because the soft shell feels nice. Not only that, but the juicy tomatoes, onions, peppers, lettuce, avocado or guacamole, and the nice cheese, along with the little spice of the warm meat, make it great.
Macaroni and Cheese

Macaroni and cheese has always been one of my favorite comfort foods. I used to love it when I was a kid, especially whenever I visited my grandma's house. The smell of that gooey, cheesy goodness filling the kitchen was enough to make me run straight to the table. Every bite was warm, creamy, and packed with flavor. Even now, mac and cheese still gives me that same cozy feeling. Whether it's homemade or from a box, nothing beats a big bowl of cheesy macaroni after a long day.

One of my best friends lives in a house previously occupied by James L. Kraft, the Canadian inventor of processed cheese who also co-founded Kraft Foods, back in the early 1900s. I call him "cheesehead" from time to time.

The Newcomers

Salmon

I like it. It is good. Good for all parts of your body.

Tsebhi Derho

I visited Eritrea, and the food is divine - made by hand, delicious. However, nothing compares to the Tsebhi Derho. It's heaven.

My favorite dish whenever I'm in Eritrea!

The Contenders

Cheeseburger

Cheeseburgers are far superior to hamburgers because they have cheese. Hamburgers just seem like unfinished versions of cheeseburgers.
Hot take: kebab shop cheeseburgers are the best. Sue me.

Well, cheeseburgers are better than hamburgers, in my opinion. That's why McDonald's, Burger King, and more have yellow in their logos. Whataburger is orange, which is still the color of cheese.

Mm, I absolutely love cheeseburgers. They are my all-time favorite food! Hamburgers are good, but cheeseburgers are the bomb! Go, cheeseburgers!
Sushi

Do I even need words to express this delicacy? Those who are disgusted by it are far too ignorant to understand it. Only those with a sophisticated palate could taste the greatness of this dish.
It's disappointing to see how underrated it is. It should at least be in fourth place. It's much better than the stuff they were displaying up there. Only low-lives would put chocolate in second place. Chocolate is literally the worst thing my taste buds have ever tasted. It is worthy of last place.
I hate chocolate with a passion. Moral of the story: sushi is great and it deserves more praise.

That killer thing was just a joke. Sorry Justin, I didn't mean to offend you. I really like sushi, and yes, I would rather just lock myself in a room for a day without food for this tasty meal.
Don't argue. Just because I'm Asian doesn't mean I know only English and a few Spanish words. That's all I know, honestly.
One of the sushi chefs, named Uncle (yes, that is his real name), is very good. I love this and it would take me a whole month to get sick of it.
I have a headache, so I'm going to go now.
Cake

Cake is the best. My personal favorite is this one cake that has mashed-up Oreos, chocolate chips, and whipped cream, all on a light vanilla sponge. It's heaven.
But for a certain red-haired anime character, strawberry is the best, if you catch my drift.

Cake is really good, only if it has thin layers of frosting. Thick layers of frosting covering the cake are just gross. I don't like frosting that much.

Cake and frosting are heaven on a plate. It's love and acceptance all in one, starting with your first birthday cake. Yum!
Spaghetti with Meat Sauce

To me, nothing beats spaghetti. Just look at it! I even want one now! It's delicious, especially when it has sauce. Even pizza wouldn't beat spaghetti for me! Come on, guys, it should be at least in the top ten!

Spaghetti seems like a great food to eat, especially with the Bolognese and other extra toppings. Pasta can always be eaten, even if you're a vegan. It is a really good starch to have if you can't find anything else to eat.

The best.
It's especially nice when all the toppings are served separately. Then you can try out different combinations, like plain with Parmesan, or sauce, meat, and cheese with Parmesan.
Brownies

Brownies have always been the dessert I can never say no to. When I was younger, my mom used to bake them late at night during the weekends, and the smell of chocolate would drift through the whole house. I remember sneaking into the kitchen before they fully cooled just to grab a warm corner piece with melted chocolate still gooey in the middle. The crispy top with the soft, fudgy center was honestly perfect. Even now, brownies remind me of those quiet nights at home, sitting in the kitchen with a glass of milk and waiting for another batch to come out of the oven.

Brownies are the best. Simple yet yummy and tasty. Once you've tasted it, you will look for it and search for it to buy it and eat it. It's good for your stomach.
Although one of my favorites is lasagna, I choose brownies because they have a very catchy taste and perfect sweetness. I sometimes imagine myself eating brownies all the time, from day till night, until I sleep and wake up again. They're way better than burgers and hot dogs.
Apple

An apple is a sweet, edible fruit produced by the apple tree, scientifically known as Malus domestica. Apple trees are cultivated worldwide and are the most widely grown species in the Malus genus. Apples are known for their crisp texture and come in a variety of flavors and colors, including red, green... read more

Oh, the crisp goodness. The amount of nostalgia I get from this word is immense. I grew up with these things and had them almost every day.
It just can't get any better than an apple. It's sweet, crisp, and flavorful. Granny Smith apples are great too, as the bitterness makes them very enjoyable.
All apples are great, like Fuji apples, Gala apples, Pink Lady apples, etc., but nothing beats a Honeycrisp apple. Apples are just classics, and I think they are the greatest snacks to exist. They definitely deserve to be within the top 10.

This is actually quite an underrated snack. While I do prefer to eat junk food overall, apples are great. Like pizza, there are different types of apples for everyone. I prefer sour and hard apples like Braeburn and Granny Smith, but you can really experiment with what you like.
Cheesecake

Best dessert ever! In general, I don't like cake, but cheesecake is where it's at. So creamy, amazing crust, and when you combine it with berries and caramel sauce, there's nothing better in the whole world.

I love stuff like pizza, chocolate, and fries, but damn, that is some good cheesecake! Nothing can replace the creaminess of a slice of cheesecake. Mmm!

Cheesecake is amazing, especially from the Cheesecake Factory - the Oreo cheesecake, especially.
Lasagna

Picky eaters will eat anything if it's in lasagna. It has an amazing texture and has layers upon layers of pasta and cheese. It sort of has to be good if it has pasta and cheese in it.

Lasagna is by far the best food ever. It has sauce, noodles, and cheese. I've been eating lasagna since I was a baby. Italian food is the best. Pizza is my second favorite food, which is also Italian.

My favorite since I could eat! I love the melted cheese and meat! It's the best ever and should be in the top ten. Italian food rocks!
Chicken Wings

I prefer fried chicken, but the sheer amount of sauces chicken wings can be eaten with, and the joy of ripping the meat off the bone with your teeth, is commendable.

If you hate your parents' cooking, then buy this. It's chicken, but the good kind, and it has more flavor. *Warning*: it could get messy.

Why isn't this one further up the list? There are so many varieties of chicken wings too. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
Bacon Cheeseburger

Food scientists, when creating the bacon cheeseburger, thought: How about we take a BBQ classic and add the best food in the world to it? Genius! If you're going out to a burger joint, don't hesitate to get the bacon cheeseburger.

The holy grail of all burgers: the perfect combination of bacon, cheese, and burger patty. Nothing beats a good bacon cheeseburger.

It's bacon, number seven, combined with a cheeseburger, number twelve. Just imagine what it would be like together.
Cookies

I don't like chocolate chip cookies that much. But sugar cookies, soft cookies with a thin layer of frosting, and shortbread cookies are all delicious.

Cookies are the best dessert ever. You can get them crispy and crunchy or soft and chewy. Adding a little heat gives you this ooey-gooey, chocolatey, sugary mess.

Cookies are food that makes me happy. You can't live without chocolate chip cookies!
Burrito

They are the best food ever because you can put anything in them, even fries. I like my burritos spicy and with guacamole and cheese. No matter what they have, they almost always taste amazing, especially if they have traditional Mexican ingredients in them.

Even though I'm Italian, I think burritos have to be my absolute favorite food, especially the grilled chicken queso burrito from Qdoba. We're talking absolute heaven. My second favorite, of course, would obviously be almost anything Italian.

Burritos have always been my favorite! Chipotle makes them the best, but all the flavors mixed together with the sour cream and guacamole are so good! Shout-out to tacos, sushi, and spaghetti.
Chicken Nuggets

Chicken nuggets are underrated. People hate them just because their name is "weird" and "funny." They have a nice taste of chicken that is grilled, simple, and small, making it safe for children to eat more than any other chicken. This is the chicken we need nowadays.

They're good if you get them from Wendy's or a good place. The ones at McDonald's or in school cafeterias are crap, though.

Yeah, these deserve to be first. I am a little old for chicken nuggets, but do I care? I don't think so!
Doughnuts

Doughnuts have always been one of my favorite treats, especially on early mornings before school. My dad used to stop at a little doughnut shop on Fridays, and I'd always get so excited seeing that pink bakery box sitting on the kitchen counter. The sweet smell of glazed doughnuts and chocolate frosting made the whole morning better. My favorite was always the warm glazed kind that practically melted in your mouth after the first bite. Even now, eating a doughnut reminds me of those simple mornings when life felt easy and all I cared about was picking my favorite flavor before my siblings did.

Donuts are the best thing ever given to humankind. You have a variety of flavors from chocolate to vanilla, and during holiday seasons you get special limited-time donuts! My favorite are the ones stuffed with Boston cream. I could eat those ALL DAY! I live for donuts!
Hot Dogs

A hot dog is a cooked sausage that is usually grilled or steamed and served in a sliced bun. It is commonly enjoyed as a casual food item in the United States and many other countries. Typical toppings include mustard, ketchup, onions, relish, and sauerkraut.

Hot dogs are mega delicious! They have always been my favorite food. I don't understand the popularity of noodles, and having them be more popular than hot dogs is a travesty.
Best meat ever. Best food ever. Should be number one. But I did think pizza was definitely going to be number one. I'm just saying I prefer hot dogs. But I still do love pizza.

Who does not like hot dogs? Most people who do not like hot dogs probably just tasted a low-quality one and decided hot dogs suck.
I do not even need to explain why this is good. You know why as well.
