Thai cuisine is the country's national cuisine. Thai cuisine focuses on delicately prepared dishes with robust aromatic elements and a spicy edge. The four broad categories of traditional Thai cuisine are tom (boiled meals), yam (spicy salads), tam (pounded appetizers), and gaeng (curries). Chinese cuisine is the origin of fried, stir-fried, and steamed foods. In 2017, seven Thai meals landed on CNN Travel's "World's 50 Best Foods" list, based on an online survey of 35,000 people from around the world. Thailand had the greatest number of dishes on the list.
