Food is the one thing I love more than travel. There is a joke going around the world that people are able to eat anything and a lot of it. They usually graze throughout the day, but sometimes eating the same old sandwich from the corner shop becomes tedious.

The love of food comes with not being picky, and that’s what every foodie should be like. We’ve never heard of a restaurant critic that doesn’t like seafood or only wants their steaks well-done. This means that we are always open to taste new things and, to be honest, this should be everyone’s outlook in life. Trying new and unfamiliar dishes is an exciting discovery, and this is where it goes hand in hand with travel.

The prospect of seeing new sites while traveling is always high on the agenda. Still, another reason for a lot of travelers to visit destinations is to try new smells and taste fresh foods. It gives people a chance to break away from the sensory routine of their everyday lives and expose themselves to a sensory barrage of unfamiliar scents, sounds, and palettes. So, which destinations can provide the best culinary delights?

Spain

The sun, the sea, and the Mediterranean. Summer vacations in Spain’s luxurious Canary Islands are the perfect way to relax and unwind after a long workweek. Visit https://www.canaryislandsinfo.co.uk/ and check out the latest happenings at canary.

The array of dishes that come with Tapas has become so popular that it has found its way over to many restaurants here in the UK. We’re obviously a sharing nation if we’re happy to sit down on a big table with our friends and eat patatas bravas and albidongas together. We usually find that the small dishes weren’t so small after all, however, and collectively they defeat us time and again.

Regardless, there is nothing better than settling down for the evening with a bottle of white wine and the most famous of all Spanish dishes, Paella. You can get this recipe anywhere and try it in most restaurants, but you have to go to Spain to get a taste of the real thing. Simmering away in a massive pot with an assortment of chicken, chorizo, and shellfish, a traditional paella will be creamy and bursting with flavor from the prawns, mussels, and calamari.

Morocco

Walking through the warrens of the souks and the infamous night market, visitors are instantly drawn in to try the local dishes. A popular refreshment is mint tea, which can be quite relaxing and should be savored over a long, lazy afternoon or evening.

The most popular dish here is the tagine, which is usually meat cooked in a clay pot, providing a rich flavor as the herbs and spices marinate. You can find these dishes in any restaurant. Still, the best can usually be found in riads, small boutique hotels, within the old walled city.

For one evening during a stay in Morocco, it is recommended to stay at least one night, relaxing in the hotel and trying their dishes, because it might just be the best you have during your entire stay.

USA

Americans love their food, and they like it a lot. Traveling through North America and visiting the various local eateries feels more like an accomplishment than a discovery. On most menus, you can find a culinary challenge that only the most experienced foodies should take part in.

The US doesn’t really have a national dish, but instead, take bits and pieces from other nations and make it their own. Take the hamburger, for example. The humble burger is originally German, as is the hotdog, but has now become synonymous with American culture.

However, if it’s one thing to remember eating in America, it’s the pulled pork, slowly roasted, allowing it to fall apart in your mouth. During a stay in the south, venturing on all the Florida attractions, you’d be lucky enough to try a local pulled pork sandwich with BBQ sauce, and you will never forget it. Not the most nouveau cuisine, but we all have our guilty pleasures.

UK

The UK has had a bad rap in the past for our inability to produce tasty food. Well, it looks like the last laugh belongs to us as we turn into a nation of foodies, inspired by TV cooking shows and competitions to encourage us to try new things and even cook it for ourselves.

Admittedly, we take other recipes and adapt them, experimenting, and coming up with new creations all the time. However, there is one dish that will stand the test of time and is often overlooked.

A Sunday just wouldn’t be complete without a roast dinner. Whether it’s beef, turkey, or lamb, a good roast dinner is a reason to look forward to the weekend. It’s almost become a sort of unspoken competition within families as fiery discussions of how to cook the best roast shoot back and forth.
