Barbagiuan The national dish of Monaco. These are small, savory fried pastries (think of them as a cross between a ravioli and a turnover). The traditional filling is a mix of Swiss chard, spinach, ricotta cheese, leeks, and sometimes rice or pumpkin. They are most famously eaten on Monaco's National Day (November 19th). Have you eaten these?

Stocafi This is a hearty dried cod stew that is a true local delicacy. The salt cod is rehydrated and slow-cooked in a rich tomato sauce seasoned with garlic, capers, bay leaves, and black olives. It is often served with boiled potatoes and a glass of chilled white wine. Would you eat this meal?

Fougasse Monégasque While French fougasse is usually a savory bread, the Monégasque version is a sweet, orange-scented brioche. It is flat, decorated with red and white sugar-coated aniseeds (matching the colors of the Monaco flag), almonds, and raisins. It is a traditional treat often enjoyed around Christmas. Do you think you would (or did you try it and) like it?

Pissaladière A thick, bread-like tart that acts as Monaco's version of pizza. It is topped with a mountain of slow-caramelized onions, black Cailletier olives, and anchovies. Unlike Italian pizza, it rarely contains cheese or tomato sauce, relying instead on the deep sweetness of the onions. Would you ever order this type of pizza?
