Smoked food has been dried, cooked, or flavored in smoke. Smoked salmon tastes great with cream cheese on a bagel.
Meats and fish are the most common smoked foods—you're probably familiar with smoked meat like bacon, ham, sausage, and beef jerky, for example. There are many smoked cheeses too, like smoked gouda and smoked mozzarella; smoked tea (Lapsang souchong); smoked spices like paprika; and smoked chiles. Food can be cold smoked or hot smoked, or cooked in a style known as "smoke roasting."
