A samosa () is a fried or baked pastry with a savory filling, including ingredients such as spiced potatoes, onions, and peas. it may take different forms, including triangular, cone, or half-moon shapes, depending on the region. samosas are often accompanied by chutney, and have origins in medieval times or earlier. samosas are a popular entrée, appetizer, or snack in the cuisines of south asia, the middle east, central asia, east africa and their diasporas. the english word samosa derives from hindi word 'samosa' (hindi: समोसा), traceable to the middle persian word sanbosag (سنبوسگ) 'triangular pastry'. similar pastries are called sambusak in arabic; medieval arabic recipe books sometimes spell it sambusaj. the spelling samoosa is used in south africa.

Chicken wings

A buffalo wing in american cuisine is an unbreaded chicken wing section (flat or drumette) that is generally deep-fried and then coated or dipped in a sauce consisting of a vinegar-based cayenne pepper hot sauce and melted butter prior to serving. they are traditionally served hot, along with celery sticks and carrot sticks with blue cheese dressing or, primarily outside of new york, ranch dressing for dipping. buffalo wings are often called simply "wings", "hot wings", or "chicken wings". buffalo wings have gained in popularity in the united states and abroad, with some north american restaurant chains featuring them as a main menu item. the name "buffalo" is now also applied to other spiced fried foods served with dipping sauces, including boneless chicken wings (made from chicken breast meat), chicken fries, chicken nuggets, popcorn chicken, shrimp, and cauliflower. it also describes other dishes, such as pizza, that are seasoned with the buffalo-style sauce or a buffalo flavor seasoning.
