Acini di pepe

A form of pasta. Italian for "peppercorns", they look like tiny beads.

Acini di pepe work well in soups or cold salads. Also sometimes referred to as pastina (Italian for "tiny dough"); however, some pasta makers distinguish pastina as smaller than acini di pepe.

Acini di pepe is often used in Italian Wedding Soup.

Frog's Eye Salad is a common American cold salad recipe that teams the pasta with whipped topping, marshmallows, pineapple and mandarin oranges.
 
Edam

(Dutch Edammer) is a Dutch cheese traditionally sold in spheres with a pale yellow interior and a coat of red paraffin wax.

It is named after the town of Edam in the province of North Holland, where the cheese is coated for export sale and for the tourist high season. Edam which has aged for at least 17 weeks is coated with black wax, rather than the usual red or yellow.

Edam ages and travels well, and does not spoil easily; these qualities (among others) made it the world's most popular cheese between the 14th and 18th centuries, both at sea and in remote colonies. It is popular in North America, the Nordic countries, and many other countries around the world.
 
Katsudon

A popular Japanese food, a bowl of rice topped with a deep-fried pork cutlet, egg, and condiments.

Variations include sauce katsudon (with Worcestershire sauce), demi katsudon (with demi-glace and often green peas, a specialty of Okayama), shio katsudon (with salt, another Okayama variety), shōyu-dare katsudon (with soy sauce, Niigata style), and miso katsudon (a favorite in Nagoya).

Beef and chicken can substitute for the pork.The dish takes its name from the Japanese words tonkatsu (for pork cutlet) and donburi (for rice bowl dish).

It has become a modern ritual tradition for Japanese students to eat katsudon the night before taking a major test or school entrance exam. This is because "katsu" is a homophone of the verb katsu, meaning "to win" or "to be victorious".
