Food that Starts with E | Facts & Pictures
Eggnog
“General and first U.S. President George Washington often treated his visitors at Mount Vernon to homemade eggnog. His recipe typically included a delightful blend of cream, milk, sugar, brandy, whiskey, rum, sherry, and egg whites.”
Espresso
“Espresso is a beverage produced by passing pressurized hot water through coffee grounds. The invention of the first espresso machine is credited to Angelo Moriondo of Turin, Italy, who patented a steam-powered espresso machine in 1884.”
Eggplant
“Previously considered potentially poisonous, eggplant, a member of the nightshade plant family, was once believed to be toxic. Luckily, for enthusiasts of eggplant parmesan, ratatouille, baba ganoush, and more, this misconception has been dispelled.”
Eclairs
“Eclairs consist of choux pastry, crafted from a mixture of flour, sugar, salt, milk, butter, water, and eggs. The dough is boiled and piped onto a baking tray using a pastry bag. Unlike various other baked goods, eclairs do not rely on yeast or baking powder for leavening.”
Enchiladas
“Before the Spanish arrival in the 1500s, corn flour tortillas were used to encase ingredients in what is now Mexico. With the traditional availability of tomatoes, cocoa, and chili peppers, and the more recent incorporation of meats and cheese, the contemporary enchilada emerged.”
Eggs
“The record for the largest omelet was set in Santarem, Portugal, in 2012. Weighing 14,225 pounds and cooked in a colossal pan measuring approximately 33.8 feet in diameter, this exceptional omelet was prepared using an astonishing 145,000 eggs.”
Escargot
“France consumes a staggering 16,000,000 kilograms of escargot (snails) annually, with two-thirds of the total consumption occurring on Christmas. While escargot enjoys popularity in Europe, North Africa, and North America, the United States alone consumed 300,000,000 kilograms in 2018.”
Empanadas
“The empanada likely originated in Galicia, Spain, but has since become a globally beloved dish. In Chile, empanadas are filled with a delectable mixture of beef, olives, onions, eggs, and raisins.”
Eggrolls
Though often associated with Chinese cuisine, eggrolls are likely a Chinese-American invention. The eggroll as we know it — cabbage, pork, carrots, and other ingredients wrapped in a wheat flour flat skin and deep-fried — is derived from recipes of Chinese-American restauranteurs of the 1930s.
Emmenthaler
Emmenthaler cheese is Swiss in origin, characterized by holes — which were thought of as imperfections originally. The cheese is certified in Switzerland and made under specific regulatory standards, but elsewhere is referred to interchangeably with “Swiss Cheese”.
Edamame
The word “Edamame” was used in Japan at least since July 26th, 1275 AD. On that day, the Buddhist saint Nichiren Shonin left a note thanking a parishioner for leaving edamame in his temple.
Escarole
The curly-leafed green escarole is a member of the chicory family and is related to endive. Escarole is high in fiber, iron, and vitamin C.
Eel
In Belgium, eel is simmered in butter, shallots, and various herbs into a dish called Paling In’t Groen.
