Chislic is een vleesgerecht dat oorspronkelijk uit South Dakota komt. Het bestaat uit gefrituurde blokjes lamsvlees, rund of hert die met knoflookzout worden bestrooid en met tandenstokers worden geserveerd. Het gerecht wordt meestal geserveerd met crackers. De blokjes vlees moeten rare tot medium-rare worden geserveerd. De meeste theorieën over de oorsprong van chislic verbinden het met Russische emigranten, waar shashlik (varkensvlees op spies) behoorlijk populair was. In South Dakota wordt chislic regelmatig geserveerd in pubs, bars, informele restaurants en talloze huishoudens. Er zijn ook enkele regionale variaties van het gerecht: in Pierre wordt het vlees gepaneerd; in Sioux Falls wordt het lichtjes met bloem bestrooid voordat het wordt gefrituurd; in de omgeving van Watertown wordt soms ranchdressing apart geserveerd, terwijl Lawry's Seasoned Salt verplicht is in de omgeving van Redfield.

One of Brazil's favorite street foods, coxinha (lit. little thigh) is a crispy croquette filled with chicken meat and cream cheese that is cleverly shaped into a chicken drumstick, then breaded and deep-fried. Coxinha originated around S&atilde;o Paulo in the 19th century, and by the 1950s it spread to Rio de Janeiro and Paran&aacute;, having now become one of the most popular salgados (savory appetizers) across the country. Legend has it that coxinha was first made for the Brazilian princess Isabel's son who only liked chicken thigh meat. However, according to food historians, it was probably invented during the industrialization of S&atilde;o Paulo to be marketed as a cheaper and more durable substitute to traditional chicken cuts that were sold at the gates of local factories as snacks for the workers. Nowadays, coxinhas can be found anywhere from Brazilian snack bars called lanchonetes, caf&eacute;s, buffets and even bakeries to numerous stand-up lunch counters and street food stalls. The perfect coxinha has a golden, crunchy crust which envelopes the chicken stock and flour dough and breaks away into its creamy interior made with shredded chicken breast and Catupiry requeij&atilde;o cremoso cheese. It is typically flavored with onion, garlic, cilantro, and lime. For a well-rounded snack, these delicious Brazilian chicken-filled nibbles are usually served with hot chili sauce, vinaigrette or garlic mayonnaise, and best enjoyed with a glass of cold beer.

Crack Conch with peas and rice is the national dish of the Bahamas. Conch is a large sea snail that has been traditionally eaten in the region since before the arrival of Christopher Columbus. The natives did not only eat the mollusc, but used them to make tools, musical instruments, and ceremonial artifacts. The conch lies on the bottom of the seabed in big, fluted shells with pink interiors. It may be eaten raw or cooked, but in this particular dish, it is deep-fried. The finished meal looks similar to fried calamari, but it is much tastier, as the locals say. Sea snails are regarded as endangered species, which has led to an increase in their price, but it remains a very popular and loved dish in the Bahamas. It is the only type of seafood that makes use of the special Bajan seasonings - a rub of garlic, pepper, thyme, onion, and marjoram. The rub is then mixed with a batter consisting of flour, beaten eggs, and water. Conch needs to be washed in water and lime juice, beaten with a mallet in order to tenderize the meat, then cut into small pieces and coated in the batter mix. Deep-fried until it develops a deep golden brown color, the dish is accompanied by Bahamian peas and rice, made by frying bacon and mixing it with peas, onions, tomatoes, thyme, salt, pepper, and tender rice. One can try this unique dish anywhere in the Bahamas, from the luxurious hotels to the seaside street food vendors.

These large prawns are typically dipped in egg wash, coated in panko breadcrumbs, then deep-fried. They are one of the most popular yōshoku dishes; western-inspired Japanese meals which originated during the Meiji Restoration between the 1860s and the early 1900s. Ebi furai falls into the kawari-age category of breaded, deep-fried foods, and it is also regarded as a meibutsu, which is a Japanese term for famous foods associated with particular regions, as these fried prawns are one of Nagoya's signature dishes. Traditionally, kuruma ebi or Japanese tiger shrimps were used for preparing ebi furai, but due to a decline in their cultivation, Nagoyans have started using black tiger shrimps or even the Japanese spiny lobster called ise ebi, which can measure up to a whopping 30 centimeters in length. Ebi furai is usually served with shredded cabbage, garnished with a lemon wedge, and enjoyed with either tartar, hoisin, or Worcestershire sauce. It is either ordered &agrave; la carte or served in a bento box, a single-portion takeout meal common in Japanese cuisine, and some places even offer these delicious shrimp fritters as ebi-sando (shrimp sandwich) and ebi-dog (shrimp hot dog), while the most impressive variety is the so-called maki ebi furai: deep-fried prawns rolled and sliced in the style of maki sushi. The dish can easily be found not only in Nagoya, but all over the country, in virtually any seafood-orientated izakaya gastropub and every restaurant that sells yōshoku foods.
