Bacon various countries depending on how its made!. Italy or America for example
Couscous Middle East
Cajun Chicken Louisiana based food
Polenta Italian
Edam Cheese Dutch
Tandoori Chicken IndiaWww@FoodAQ@Com

Kebabs are native foods mainly in Greece, Turkey, the Middle East and parts of India, they also have native versions in certain North African countries like Egypt, Libya and Algeria!. Bacon is native food in almost all Western European countries and North America!. Couscous is native to most North and Central African countries plus the Middle East, the Spanish use it quite often as well as do the Southern French!. Cajun and Creole food is mostly from the regions around the Bay of Mexico i!.e!. Louisiana and Florida and some Caribbean countries!. Polenta is Italian, Edam Cheese is Dutch and Tandoori chicken is something purporting to be Indian or Pakistani and to a lesser extent Bangladeshi but is probably more likely to be a development by Indian sub-continent chefs in England to suit the less fiery English palate!.

Kebab is of middle eastern origin (specifically Persia, today's Iran) and specifically meant fried meat, although there is some thinking it meant "charred meat"!.

Bacon derives from the german word "bacho" which means "back of the ham"!. In Italy it is known as "pancetta"!.

Couscous is also of North African origin (Morroco, Algiers, Tunesia) and derived from the word sesksu which means "well formed"!. It is made by sprinkling water into semolina flour and rolling it with the hands to form small granules!.

Cajun is a slang of the word "Acadian", much like Injun is a slang of the word Indian and is used to describe the people who left the acadia region of northeastern america (Maine, quebec, and Nova Scotia), followed the rivers and settled in the Mississippi Delta of Louisiana!. Cajun Chicken then would just indicate a chicken dish affiliated with Cajun preparation, usually using cayenne pepper, paprika, thyme, garlic, onion, oregano, and rosemary (usually)!. This mixture is then rubbed over the meat and seared in a hot cast iron skillet!.

Polenta is the Italian name for a mash of boiled cornmeal!. It is similar to American grits, only the corn is yellow and not soaked in lye to turn it into hominy!. It is a relatively recent culinary innovation, as corn was unknown to Europe until the Spanish conquistadors brought it back from the new world!.

Edam Cheese is a particular type of Dutch cheese made in Edammer, Holland!.

Tandoori chicken is chicken made in the Punjab region of India!. It is chicken that is marinated in Tandoori masala (a relatively hot sauce of curry and cayenne pepper)!. A Tandoor is a type of clay oven that the original dish was prepared in!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
