Phở gà is a traditional Vietnamese pho variety made with chicken. It can usually be ordered as bình thường (normal) with white breast meat, dark meat, fat, and skin, or gà nạc (lean chicken) with sliced breast meat.

The broth in phở gà is much lighter and clearer than the one found in phở bò (beef pho). Other ingredients used in the preparation of chicken pho often include ginger, fish sauce, rice noodles, shallots, green onions, and cilantro. Garnishes include lime wedges, mint, sliced chili peppers, bean sprouts, and Thai basil sprigs.

Frittata di peperoni e patate is a traditional Italian egg-based dish originating from Rome. The dish is usually made with a combination of eggs, bell peppers, onions, potatoes, olive oil, salt, and pepper. The sliced peppers are sautéed in olive oil over medium heat until soft, and then mixed with sliced onions and potatoes.

The mixture is cooked until the onions are soft. The eggs are beaten, seasoned with salt and pepper, and then poured over the vegetables. The dish is cooked over low heat until golden brown on both sides. Once done, frittata di peperoni e patate is served warm.

This ancient dish with Roman origins is regarded as one of the simplest and most satisfying Italian dishes. Cacio e pepe consists of pasta (usually spaghetti), aged Pecorino Romano cheese, salt, and lots of ground black pepper. Since the ingredients are easy to transport and do not spoil easily, it was once the favorite dish of Roman shepherds.

The spicy pepper protected the shepherds from the effects of cold weather during the night, while the pasta provided them with the carbohydrates they needed to perform their back-breaking labor. However, this simple meal is so good that the famous chef and television personality Anthony Bourdain described it by saying it "could be the greatest thing in the history of the world."

Widely considered to be one of Rome's best street foods, these breaded, deep-fried rice croquettes are in fact quite similar to the Sicilian arancini, but unlike which, Roman supplì are traditionally filled with mozzarella, and the rice is pre-simmered in a tomato-based meat sauce.

In Rome, they are popularly known as supplì al telefono, taking their name from an Italianization of the French word for surprise and the long strings of molten cheese that resemble a telephone cord — the surprise that is revealed when you break one of these crispy rice balls open.
