Tasty Destination - Food & Travel

Foodie confession time: I’ve eaten at a certain well-known fast food restaurant in at least seven countries that I recall. In my youth, far from home, I was comforted by the familiar saltiness of French fries and was intrigued by the slight variations in ketchup on the burgers. I might even have a hamburguesa wrapper tucked away in a scrapbook. Now that my palate has expanded and I’ve learned more about the importance of local food, my taste buds have become an integral part of exploring wherever my travels take me. Terroir is something that has long been appreciated in the world of wine; I’ve discovered that it applies equally well to foods. Every meal provides the chance to learn a little more about the culture, heritage, environment, and taste of a given location.
