Food that Starts with E | Facts & Pictures
Eggnog
General and first U.S. president George Washington served homemade eggnog to visitors at Mount Vernon. It contained cream, milk, sugar, brandy, whiskey, rum, sherry, and egg whites.
Espresso
Espresso is a beverage that is the result of pressurized hot water being put through coffee grounds. The first espresso machine is attributed to Angelo Moriondo of Turin, Italy, who patented a steam-powered espresso machine in 1884.
Eggplant
Eggplant, as a fruit of the sometimes-toxic nightshade plant family, was once believed to be poisonous. Fortunately, for those who enjoy dishes like eggplant parmesan, ratatouille, and baba ganoush, it isn’t.
Eclairs
Eclairs are made of choux pastry, which itself is made of flour, sugar, salt, milk, butter, water, and eggs. The mixture is boiled and placed inside a pastry bag and squeezed out onto a baking tray. Unlike other baked goods, eclairs do not use yeast or baking powder as leavening.
Enchiladas
Corn flour tortillas have been wrapped around ingredients in what is now Mexico since before the arrival of the Spanish in the 1500s. With the traditional availability of tomatoes, cocoa, and chili peppers, and the more recent addition of meats and cheese, the modern enchilada was born.
Eggs
The largest omelet was made in Santarem, Portugal in 2012. It weighed 14,225 pounds and used a pan that was around 33.8 feet in diameter. It used about 145,000 eggs.
Escargot
A total of 16,000,000 kilograms of escargot (snails) are consumed in France yearly — with two-thirds of all escargot produced in France consumed on Christmas. That said, escargot are popular in Europe, North Africa, and North America — with 300,000,000 kilograms consumed in the US in 2018.
Empanadas
The empanada likely originated in Galicia, Spain, but these filled pastries are now a world-popular dish. In Chile, empanada fillings consist 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.
