The invention of ice cream in Mongolia may have been accidental. Mongolian horse riders carrying yak or buffalo milk across the Gobu desert discovered that their provisions would freeze. The expansion of the empire back in the day gave ice cream more popularity across the continent.

Pasta

Pasta is a popular dish one may think is from Italy. The delicacy arrived in Italy around the 13th century when introduced by European travelers who had discovered egg noodles from nomadic Arabs spreading early forms of pasta from Asia.

Italian pasta includes durum wheat, making them distinct from other noodles. Italians redefined pasta by adding this ingredient, making the pasta more affordable, durable, versatile, and tastier when paired with native Mediterranean foods.

Doughnuts are popular in the US, but they originated in Greece. Krispie Kreme and Dunkin’ Donuts have become notable brands specialized in doughnut production for decades.
