Many people think the English found out about curry from people in India in the 1600s. In reality wealthy English people were eating dishes made with curry spices hundreds of years before British ship traveled to India. Cooks of wealthy English families during the time of King Richard I were making curry dishes, and in fact, the word “curry" can be found in an English language cookbook as far back as 1377.

As for pizza, this dish was probably first made in Persia (what is now Iran). The Persians were eating round, flat bread with cheese in the 500s. That was nearly 1,000 years before pizza became popular in Naples, Italy!

Finally, let's look at the truth behind hamburgers. Many people think hamburgers are an American food. However, according to some stories, hamburgers came from Hamburg, Germany. A German named Otto Kuasw created the first hamburger in 1891. Four years later, German sailors introduced hamburgers to Americans.
