Food that Starts with H | Amazing Facts & Pictures
Ham
In Germany, Black Forest ham is produced in the southwestern Black Forest region. It consists of ham (a pork cut – from the upper leg) cured for weeks in a salty brine, seasoned with juniper berries, garlic, coriander, and black pepper, then aged and smoked over a three-week period.
Honey
In order to be produced, a pound of honey requires 768 bees to work for their entire life duration. It also requires the nectar from 2 million flowers and some 55,000 miles of worker bee travel.
Hoisin Sauce
Hoisin sauce is often found in Cantonese Chinese cuisine and is used as a marinade or dipping sauce. It is made primarily of fermented soybeans, garlic, red chili pepper, sugar, vinegar, five-spice powder, and other ingredients.
Hot Sauce
In Haitian cuisine, Ti-Malice is a hot sauce consisting of habanero or scotch bonnet peppers, garlic, lime, onions, and sometimes tomatoes. The sauce is named after a trickster figure in Haitian folklore.
Huckleberries
Huckleberries are actually the berries from two plant genera (Gaylussacia and Vaccinium). In the Pacific Northwest, huckleberries are common and are used to make juices, pies, pancakes, ice creams, and teas.
Herring
In eastern European and Russian cuisine, Dressed Herring is a dish that consists of pickled herring mixed with boiled root vegetables (like carrots, beets, and potatoes), chopped onions, and mayonnaise — layered on top of each other. This dish is also known informally as “herring under a fur coat”.
Hash Browns
Hash browns were developed in the late 1800s, likely in the United States. They are shredded pieces of potatoes that are fried with onions. A dish that uses flour, oil, or egg to bind these ingredients is known as a potato pancake.
Hummus
Hummus is a dish that originates from the Middle East, with the word “hummus” meaning “chickpeas” in Arabic. Typical hummus ingredients include chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and oil.
Honeydew
Honeydew melons are 90 percent water — and a single 100g serving contains 56 percent of the recommended Daily Value (DV) of vitamin C. The honeydew’s season is from August to October.
Horseradish
Horseradish is a root vegetable, often harvested and mixed with vinegar to create a condiment sauce. Although traditional Japanese wasabi was made with a local horseradish plant (also known as “Japanese Wasabi”), wasabi is now made of Western horseradish plant species.
Hamburger
In Mexican cuisine, hamburgers are known as “hamburguesas”. They can be served with various ingredients, such as ham, various cheeses, bacon, avocado, and mayonnaise.
Hot Dogs
In the United States, hot dogs are enjoyed in a variety of regional ways. In Chicago, they are served with pickles, tomatoes, onions, and sauerkraut, in Detroit, with a meat-based chili sauce, in New Jersey with potatoes, peppers, and onions, and in Texas with cream cheese, grilled onions, and sriracha.
