Been meaning to put up a post to say this for ages but since I couldn’t figure out some ridiculously eloquent way of saying this, I figured I might as well blurt it out.
As you already know (it’s no secret really), I’m a huge fan of FOOD (hence why there’s a whole category on here dedicated to food) and as part of my travel planning for this year, I’ve been putting together a list of delicacies that must be tried out at least once in different countries. Now seeing as the subject matter is food and this is a hugely divisive subject matter, I do not expect everyone to agree with every single item on this list – For instance, some people like chicken for example and some people don’t – for reasons both parties probably never fully understand and that’s absolutely fine, HOWEVER – if there is a national dish from your country that you definitely recommend, please do let me know in the comments below! 🙂 (Thanks in advance!)
- United Kingdom: Fish and chips (easy)
- Canada: Poutine
- France: Creme Brulee (my favourite – I may have eaten this for starters, main and dessert in Paris accompanied by just wine and nothing else… Fine, I did do that but I managed to convince my friends to do the same so they no share in my not-so-secret creme brulee obsession). If I was to have a main meal, then it would have to be Pot-au-feu
