The pupusa, which is a Salvadoran type of gordita, is another culinary secret. It is basically a thick tortilla stuffed with sauce, meat and cheese, often with a spicy sauce over it. It is delicious. Totally unique and distinct from let us say Mexican food. It is found in areas where there is a large Salvadoran population. Perhaps because Salvadorans make up a minority of the overall Hispanic population in the US, the pupusa is not too well known.

• Thanks for that... up until your answer I'd never even heard of pupusas. So it was a secret to me. Mexican food is quite well known, but I suppose it is suprising that Salvadoran isn't.
However if I ever get a chance to try it I will.

Korean food is the best kept secret, especially kimchi. I think people don't know about Korean food because it just isn't mainstream. Ethnic food becomes popular when it is altered into a form of "fast food" ie is available in the Food Court at the mall.

DONER! heh.. that what I miss most about living in Germany.. Doner Kebab they were everywhere, and I've never seen one in Alaska at least.
"Döner kebab (Turkish: döner kebap or döner kebabı, literally "rotating roast", often abbreviated as döner, also spelled 'donair', 'donar', 'doner', or sometimes 'donner'), is a Turkish dish made of lamb meat cooked on a vertical spit and sliced off to order. Two similar dishes are called shawarma in Arabic and gyros in Greek,2 although ingredients and sauces differ. In English, the term kebab in some countries refers specifically to döner kebab.
There are many variants in the composition of the meat, the ways of serving it, and the garnishes."

MmmmMMmm Makes my mouth water just looking at it. I suppose it's not talked about because they're not common here. The gyro is well known but they are not the same thing.
"Döner kebab, popular in Great Britain and Germany often as an end to a night out and especially if the purchase has been preceded by the consumption of an excess of alcohol.18 These kebabs are also served in pita bread with a wide choice of salad and of many different sauces." lol@that

Filipino Chicken Adobo (Adobong Manok)
This very easy and very yummy. From Extending the Table.
SERVES 6 (change servings and units)
Ingredients
3 lbs chicken pieces, bone-in
1/2 cup soy sauce
2/3 cup vinegar
1-2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon peppercorn
salt
Directions
1.Bring to a boil the first 6 ingredients. Simmer for about 50 minutes until the chicken is tender and sauce is reduced by half. I simmered with the lid on for about 35 minutes and took the lid off the last 15 to let the sauce reduce.
2.Add salt to taste. Serve hot with rice.
