Foods That Start With The Letter E

Foods That Start With The Letter E

The letter E is pretty common when it comes to names but not so much with foods. While not as rare as foods that start with Q, you would be hard-pressed to find a food that starts with the letter e.

Fret not my fellow food enthusiasts as I have curated a fairly substantial list of foods that all begin with the elusive vowel. Spoiler alert, there are many variations of egg dishes listed throughout.

• Eclairs
• Edamame
• Egg Drop Soup
• Egg Foo Young
• Egg Noodles - These are great with chicken broth and your meat of choice.
• Egg Rolls
• Eggnog
• Eggs Benedict
• Eggs Florentine
• Elbow Macaroni - This one is a classic that both children and adults will love.
• Elderberries
• Empanadas
• Endive
• English Muffins
• Enokitake Mushrooms
• Escargot
• Espresso
• Eton Mess
• Eggplant Parmesan - During my very brief stint as a vegan I ate this dish a few times a week. It's a delicious, healthier alternative to traditional, carb-heavy lasagna.
• Egg Salad
• Egusi Soup
• Elephant Ears (pastry)
• Emmentaler Cheese
• Ensaimada (Spanish pastry)
• Epazote (Mexican herb)

• Escamoles (Mexican dish)
• Esfiha (Middle Eastern pastry)
• Estofado (Spanish stew)
• Estragon (Tarragon)

• Eel Sushi - Honestly this sounds really gross but the numbers were not in my favor and I wanted to outperform the other blog posts on this topic.
• Enchiladas
• Entrecote (steak cut)
• Elotes (Mexican street food)
• Emu (meat) - This bird is one of the most useful animals in the world with roughly 98% of its body serving some purpose. It can be food, clothing, oil, and additives for makeup.
• Encebollado (Ecuadorian dish)
