Lasagna's from Italy... and that's what I'm making tonight, too! ;)

The British claimed that it came to be thanks to them because of the Forme of Cury, which is said to be the world's oldest surviving recipe book, having been commissioned by Britain's Richard II c.1390. It was called Loseyns was pronounced lasan and involved laying flat sheets of pasta separated by a cheese sauce. Although tomatoes weren't mentioned in the recipe, historians have tried to explain this by mentioning that Britain didn't start regularly importing tomatoes for another 200 years after this recipe was written. It is from Italy and the name comes from the pot that was as used to cook it.
No one really knows the origin of crêpes. it'd believed that crêpes originate from Brittany, a region in the northwest of France. Variations of them can be found all over the world.

It's believed that samosas likely came from Central Asia before the 10th century. Samosas may be a re-make of a dish from the Pies that were first invented by the ancient Egyptians some 4000 years earlier. They probably travelled to India along ancient trade routes from Central Asia

Chow mein is actually an American concoction. The term comes from Mandarin Chinese ch'ao mien', "fried noodles," and probably was brought to the United States by Chinese cooks serving the workers on the western railroads in the 1850s.
