Ceviche: Ceviche, cebiche, or seviche is a dish of Peruvian origin - a kind of seafood salad.

Result: Ceviche wins by 58%--it's delicious!

The character was originally introduced as part of the McDonaldland campaign in 1971, aimed at young children. The character is a crook known for stealing McDonald's hamburgers (usually, many at a time)."
