Traveling lets one discover so many things, including gastronomic
experiences. If you’re a traveling foodie, then you may want to try the
following eats when you touchdown onto these awesome countries.
Mexico
Mexico is a country known for its salsa, tacos, burritos, and fajitas.
But one overlooked scrumptious dish is the Pozole.
It is made of hominy, pork/chicken/turkey/pork rinds, chili peppers, lime,
seasonings, and veggies. It is cooked and simmered for hours (overnight often).
It is a savory soup/stew.
Russia
Who says dumplings are only Asian? Russia has its own version of
dumplings known as Pelmeni and it is
yummy! Pelmeni have meatballs inside and these dumplings are slathered in
butter with sour cream topped all over it. See here
India
Thali lets you eat a bit of
everything so I recommend you try this even if you’re a novice at Indian
cuisine. Get ready to enjoy a rollercoaster of spices when you try the dips.
It’s very enjoyable to eat with someone else.
Poland
Polskie naleśniki or Polish
pancakes tasty! These very thin pancakes are served either with cheese, quark
previously mixed with sugar, jam, fruits and powdered sugar or with meat and
vegetables all wrapped inside. See here
Philippines
Of course, the Philippines should be listed here! Haha! The country
enjoys a warm climate all year long so if you want to cool down with something
sweet and refreshing (and filling), try the popular Halo-Halo.
There are many restaurants and vendors that make and sell this sweet
treat. It consists of sugar, 50% diced fruits (it varies from coconut slices to
jackfruit pieces), and sweet beans and 50% shaved ice. Evaporated milk is
poured all over it. It is topped with a spoonful of ube (semi-sweet purple yam) and leche
flan (sweet milk custard). It is eaten using a spoon.
