Grissini are traditional Italian breadsticks with origins in Torino, Piemonte, a region in northwestern Italy. These snacks consist of crispy, thin, dry bread that can be additionally flavored with rosemary, sesame seeds, onions, or Parmesan cheese. Grissini can be traced back to the 17th century, as they were invented to cure the health-related problems of Duke Vittorio Amedeo II of Savoy. Since the duke had problems with digestion, the doctor ordered Antonio Brunero, a Torino baker, to make a meal which the duke could easily digest. Brunero made the dough for ghersa, a traditional Torino bread, and stretched it into long, thin strips. When the duke consumed the baked product, it was proclaimed a great success and became a popular snack throughout Italy. Today, grissini are served in a number of ways, and one can easily find them in most Italian restaurants, served to guests before the main meal, either on their own, or wrapped in prosciutto as an appetizer.

Guacamole is a world-famous buttery delicacy dating back all the way to the Aztec empire of the 1500s. It&rsquo;s a healthy blend of ripe, mashed avocados, onions, chiles, optional tomatillos and selected seasonings such as sea salt and coriander. The star of this incredibly simple dish is the avocado, high in unsaturated fat, potassium, vitamins, minerals and protein, its name stemming from the Aztec ahuacatl, meaning testicle or testicle tree, which is why it was believed that it was an aphrodisiac by the Aztecs. Guacamole is sometimes prepared in the molcajete, a traditional Mexican mortar and pestle where onions, chiles, and salt are ground to a paste and added to the coarsely mashed avocados. Of course, guacamole is only as good as the avocados it is prepared with, and among the best are the nutty and creamy Hass and smooth Fuerte avocados. It is usually accompanied by corn chips, nachos or tortillas on the side, so guacamole is typically enjoyed as a dip. Regardless of its position on the table, the only important thing is to serve it fresh before it oxidizes and changes its vivid green color to a darker brown hue.

The pan-fried variety of the Chinese jiaozi dumpling, known as guotie, is a Northern Chinese dumpling typically filled with minced pork, Chinese cabbage, scallions, ginger, rice wine, and sesame seed oil. Crunchy and soft textures are achieved by a special method of preparing; while the bottom of the dumpling is frying, a small amount of liquid is added to the pan which is then covered, thus allowing the rest of the dumpling and the filling to steam. When it comes to the shape, guotie should always be long and straight as it can stand more easily and it does not fall over during cooking. Goutie can be literally translated as pot sticks, so these dumplings are often nicknamed potstickers, especially in North America. Although the first-known mention of goutie dates back to the Song Dynasty, today they are a popular street food, often eaten as a snack or an appetizer, typically accompanied by a dipping sauce.

The famous Japanese gyoza are crescent-shaped dumplings that have originated from the traditional Chinese jiaozi dumplings. The recipe was slightly altered to accommodate the Japanese taste, and gyoza soon became one of the favorite Japanese meals. They consist of a thin wrapper made with wheat flour, eggs, and water, which is then stuffed with a mixture of meat and vegetables. The ingredients used in the stuffing are regionally influenced, but most commonly include minced pork or chicken, cabbage, chives, a substantial amount of garlic, ginger, and green onions. They are traditionally prepared in three different ways. The most famous are pan-fried gyoza, which are fried and then shortly steamed. Other types include boiled gyoza, usually served in broth, and the less common deep-fried variety. Traditionally, these scrumptious dumplings are served with a dipping sauce on the side, usually made with rice vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Since the 1940s, gyoza have been slowly making their progress to become one of the staple foods in Japan, commonly consumed everywhere in the country. They can be found on the menus of traditional Japanese restaurants and bought at specialized gyoza shops. In restaurants, they are usually offered as a starter, most commonly enjoyed as a snack, followed by a glass of cold beer or traditional sake. Also, although it is not a side dish per se, gyoza dumplings often accompany ramen.
