Devastated that the American delicacy Hot Pocket did not make this list.

My personal favorite will always be Pierogi, despite never being able to spell it correctly on the first try. I was introduced to something called a Pastelillo when I moved to Philadelphia, which is a Spanish dough-with-stuff-in-it much like an empanada. The spot where I got pastelillos always served them deep fried and usually filled with ground beef, cheese whiz, and onions (I'm sure this was a Philly take on whatever the Spanish tradition is).
