A national dish is a culinary dish that is strongly associated with a particular country.{{cite web|title=Top Ten National Dishes|url=https://www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/top-10/national-food-dishes/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161014060413/http://www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/top-10/national-food-dishes/|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 14, 2016|publisher=National Geographic Magazine (Travel section)|access-date=6 March 2013|date=13 September 2011}} A dish can be considered a national dish for a variety of reasons:

It is a staple food, made from a selection of locally available foodstuffs that can be prepared in a distinctive way, such as fruits de mer, served along the west coast of France.
It contains a particular ingredient that is produced locally, such as a paprika grown in the European Pyrenees.
It is served as a festive culinary tradition that forms part of a cultural heritage—for example, barbecues at summer camp or fondue at dinner parties—or as part of a religious practice, such as Korban Pesach or Iftar celebrations.
It has been promoted as a national dish, by the country itself, such as the promotion of fondue as a national dish of Switzerland by the Swiss Cheese Union (Schweizerische Käseunion) in the 1930s.

National dishes are part of a nation's identity and self-image. During the age of European empire-building, nations would develop a national cuisine to distinguish themselves from their rivals.{{Cite journal |last1=Howes |first1=David |last2=Lalonde |first2=Marc |title=The history of sensibilities: Of the standard of taste in mid-eighteenth century England and the circulation of smells in post-revolutionary France |journal=Dialectical Anthropology |issn=0304-4092 |volume=16 |issue=2 |date=June 1991|doi=10.1007/BF00250241|pages=125–135|s2cid=143715189 }}

Some countries such as Mexico, China or India, because of their diverse ethnic populations, cultures, and cuisines, do not have a single national dish, even unofficially. Furthermore, because national dishes are so interwoven into a nation's sense of identity, strong emotions and conflicts can arise when trying to choose a country's national dish.

By country

This is not a definitive list of national dishes, but rather a list of some foods that have been suggested to be national dishes.

Latin American dishes

In Latin America, dishes may be claimed or designated as a plato nacional,[https://www.linguee.com/spanish-english/translation/plato+nacional.html "plato nacional"]. linguee.com. although in many cases, recipes transcend national borders with only minor variations.{{citation needed|date=October 2015}} Preparations of ceviche are endemic in Peru and Ecuador, while a thin cut of beef known as matambre is considered close to being a national dish in Paraguay.{{Cite web|url=https://www.leavenworthtimes.com/article/20100603/news/306039804|publisher=Leavenworth Times|author=Jim Hillibish|date=3 June 2010|title=Boiling Point: Matambre a South American spin on Italian beef|access-date=23 August 2020|archive-date=23 October 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201023134338/https://www.leavenworthtimes.com/article/20100603/news/306039804|url-status=dead}} Stews of meat, plantains, and root vegetables are the platos nacionales of several countries in Central America, South America, and the Caribbean: Colombian ajiaco, as well as the sancocho of the Dominican Republic, Colombia, and Panama, are examples of platos nacionales. Janer (2008) observes that this sharing of the same plato nacional by different countries calls into question the idea that every country has a unique national dish that is special to that country; she states that cuisine does not respect national and geopolitical borders.

The identification of Latin American national dishes is stronger among expatriate communities in North America. In Latin American countries, the plato nacional{{Cite web |last=online |first=testing |date=12 December 1990 |title=plato nacional |url=https://www.spanishdict.com/translate/el%20plato%20nacional |website=spanishdict}} is usually part of the cuisine of rural and peasant communities, and not necessarily part of the everyday cuisine of city dwellers. In expatriate communities, the dish is strongly reclaimed in order to retain the sense of national identity and ties to one's homeland, and is proudly served in homes and restaurants. By this show of national identity, the community can resist social pressures that push for homogenization of many ethnically and culturally diverse communities into a single all-encompassing group identity, such as Latino or Hispanic American.

Drink

=National drinks=

A national drink is a distinct beverage that is strongly associated with a particular country, and can be part of their national identity and self-image. National drinks fall into two categories, alcoholic and non-alcoholic. An alcoholic national drink is sometimes a national liquor drank straight/neat (as in the case of whiskey in Ireland), but is most often a mixed drink (e.g., caipirinhas in Brazil and pisco sours in Peru and Chile), or beer or wine. Examples of non-alcoholic national drinks include tea for China, Coca-Cola for the US, lassis for India, mate for Uruguay, and kompot for East European nations.
