Food Around the World
One of the main reasons we travel is to experience the wonderful foods from around the world. Who hasn't ventured to try something they've never had before. When in Rome? right? Which reminds me, have you ever had Gelato in Rome? You gotta try it sometime.
Travelers are no longer content to sit in Hotel rooms, and wait for the tour bus to pick them up. They want to get out into the Villages and Country roads, meet the local residents, try the local food and drink, learn the customs and traditions. How can you truly know a country if you've never tasted the food?
The best vacations are places that excite your senses. Seeing beautiful scenery, hearing the live music, feeling the dirt under your feet, and tasting the wonderful food.
Tour companies have heard the demand for new and exciting local experiences and they are changing the way that they present an itinerary. The next time you research a vacation, ask what local experiences are included, and let your senses be your guide.
Brazilian Feijoada is a black bean and pork stew that is often served with farofa, toasted cassava flour. This comfort food is sometimes called the national dish of Brazil.
Feijoada, a popular Brazilian dish, owes its name to its main ingredient, black beans (feijão). It is a rich stew traditionally made from different parts of the pig, such as feet, ears, and bacon, as well as other smoked meats. (But don’t worry, I have some substitutions for you if you’re not up to cooking with pig ears and feet!)
