World Food Word Searches
Puzzles that travel by the menu: Italian, Mexican, Japanese and French food, pizza toppings, tacos, seafood, soups, sauces and poke. Each list keeps the dishes' own names, so the puzzle doubles as a short vocabulary lesson in the cuisine.
Food words move between countries along with the food. The tomato, now at the heart of Italian cooking, came from the Americas and reached Europe only in the 1500s, and for a long time it was grown as a curiosity rather than eaten. Words like salsa, sushi and ramen went the same way and now sit in ordinary English.
