10. “The Bear” spaghetti
> What it is: Spaghetti with tomato sauce
This pasta, as seen on the Hulu series “The Bear,” is made with a simple sauce involving San Marzano tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, and parmigiano.
9. Bella Hadid sandwich
> What it is: An Italian-style sub
The recipe for this 19-ingredient sandwich, with turkey, salami, and provolone as the starring players, was posted on TikTok by model Bella Hadid.
8. Grinder sandwich
> What it is: An Italian-style sub
A more generic term for the Italian-deli sandwich at No. 9, the grinder is also called a sub, a hero, a hoagie, a wedge, and a spuckie in various places.
7. Jennifer Aniston salad
> What it is: A Greek-style salad
It is widely believed that Jennifer Aniston (whose heritage is Greek; her father’s original last name was Anastassakis) ate this salad – which includes bulgur wheat, chickpeas, cucumber, and feta – daily while filming “Friends.” Aniston says she did eat a salad every day, but it wasn’t this one, and that she has no idea how her name came to be attached here.
6. Green goddess salad
> What it is: A salad with herb dressing (among other things)
This is a confusing one. Green goddess dressing, traditionally made with sour cream, mayonnaise, chives, tarragon, and chervil, and invented in San Francisco in the 1920s as a tribute to a hit play called “The Green Goddess,” can be used with any conventional lettuce-based salad.
A Google search for the salad of the same name, however, turns up an iceberg and spinach salad in a rice vinegar dressing, with or without nuts; another salad involving artichoke hearts, avocado, and cucumber; and still another that adds shrimp to the mix. The same name is also applied to a fruit salad based on pistachio pudding, whose alternate name is Watergate salad for reasons nobody understands.
