pad thai

5. Even better when it's messy.

6. Som tam (Papaya salad), Thailand 

After reading reader Kun Chotpakdeetrakul's comment, "Papaya salad and som tam [are] the same thing. You should combine vote for these two together," we did just that, pushing som tam to just 80 votes shy of the top five.
To prepare Thailand's iconic 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.

tom yum goong
4. Do you eat or drink soup? Either way just get it inside you.

5. Pad thai, Thailand 

Here's a food Thai people can't live without. 
Similar to Bulgogi (see #22), pad Thai is packed with nutrients stirred into one glorious fried-noodle dish.
The secret's in the sauce -- tamarind paste. If anyone ever creates a Hall of Food Fame, that should be first on the list.
sushi
3. Rice, salmon, wasabi -- world's greatest trio?

4. Tom yam goong, Thailand 

Reader Supot Sakulwongtana made it clear that "delicious includes a little bit hot." A little bit hot is right because you need room for a load more flavors too.
This Thai masterpiece teems with shrimp, mushrooms, tomatoes, lemongrass, galangal and kaffir lime leaves. Usually loaded with coconut milk and cream, the hearty soup unifies a host of favorite Thai tastes: sour, salty, spicy and sweet. Best of all is the price: cheap.
Nasi Goreng
2. More rice -- a common factor in many of these dishes.

3. Sushi, Japan 

When Japan wants to build something right, it builds it really right. Brand giants such as Toyota, Nintendo, Sony, Nikon and Yamaha may have been created by people fueled by nothing more complicated than raw fish and rice, but it’s how the fish and rice is put together that makes this a global first-date favorite.
This perfect marriage between raw fish and rice has easily kept sushi in the top five. And like one reader, Nymayor, wrote, "Now to be fair, DELICIOUS can be simple."
The Japanese don’t live practically forever for no reason -- they want to keep eating this stuff.

2. Nasi goreng, Indonesia 

"I like rendang and nasi goreng, two of most popular food in Indonesia!" Reader Rizky Ramadhika's got it. And thousands of other voters agreed. 
The wonder of combining rice with egg, chicken and prawns strikes again. The second fried rice to make the list, this Indonesian delight received more than 10 times the vote of its Thai counterpart (see #23), propelling the former from non-runner to runner-up.
rendang Indonesia
1. No. 1 as voted by you.

1. Rendang, Indonesia 

Reader Kamal F Chaniago showed great foresight when he wrote, "Rendang is the best." A clear winner with a loyal following, this beefy dish can now rightfully claim the title of "World's Most Delicious Food."
Beef is slowly simmered with coconut milk and a mixture of lemongrass, galangal, garlic, turmeric, ginger and chilies, then left to stew for a few hours to create this dish of tender, flavorful bovine goodness.
The Indonesian dish is often served at ceremonial occasions and to honored guests. It's not only delicious but also comes with a simple recipe. If you haven't already, go ahead and take reader Isabela Desita's advice: "Rendang should be the first! It's really nice, you should try!"
The world has voted and we now know the name and origin of the world's most delicious food. But have you eaten it?

A juicing machine extracts the juice from whole fruits or vegetables. The processing results in fewer vitamins and minerals, because the nutrient-rich skin is left behind. Juicing also removes the pulp, which contains fiber.

Dear +John Boehner,

I would like to █████ about █████ and █████. The United States ██████████ is no longer ███████████████ and I feel that █████ should █████ more. Sadly, █████ and █████ do not support our 1st ██████████ rights. It would be great to have someone like ██████████ or ██████████ come out and tell the American people that they ██████████ things like ██████████ and █████. However, it appears that the ██████████ in the ███████████████ and the ██████████ are unwilling to ██████████. Can you please explain why the ███████████████ and the ██████████ can't compromise with the ██████████ people?

Thank you,

A Concerned Citizen

Let me start off by saying I hate the crop. My hand was forced by the hideous artifact that a moving boat left in the water. Blending three exposures really did a number on that. My Photoshop skills are nowhere near good enough to fix that. So...this is what I'm left with. As much as I'd like to hop in my car and go back across the Hudson to Weehawken to shoot this again...there's ...
