Dining Tourism: Where Will Your Stomach Take You?

Frank McBride • June 20, 2023

For me, travel is about seeing famous sights, browsing museums, and learning more about different cultures. But, I cannot lie. Another key motivating factor is . . . food. Some of my greatest travel memories are linked to food and any plans for future travel always include numerous ideas about what, where, and when to eat.


My key area of interest is pastries and desserts. Favorites include the cornetto in Rome, pain au chocolat in Paris, and Esterhazy torte in Vienna but the research must continue. Who knows if I have truly found my favorites?


The attached article discusses foods from around the globe that you must experience at their source of origin. As I grew up in an area known for barbeque, I certainly endorse the first entry, but you might have your own ideas about essential food destinations.
 
What about you? What are your memorable food experiences and how does food fit into your travel plans?The body content of your post goes here. To edit this text, click on it and delete this default text and start typing your own or paste your own from a different source.
