Ah, food. Everybody's favorite topic. Listing a Top 5 is quite a challenge because taste is unpredictable and the palate can be a fickle thing. The stomach, on the otherhand, is pleased as long as it is fed. But since the page reads, "Foodstuff" on the Top 5 Quintessential Travel List, 5 items have to go on lists here. Perhaps the best way is to create a definitive list for all types of foodstuff, cuisines, and restaurants, and then categorical lists according to cuisine, location, price etc. Let's begin our adventure, shall we?
A TASTY TRIP.
“The way to a man's heart is through his stomach.” The Michelin guide’s inspiration derives from it: “The quickest route to the heart of a foreign land is through the stomach, human history is best told through its food and drink.” As we taste their food, we get closer to their culture. And what truly brings a country pride is its cuisine—a flavorful culture shaped by the place’s natural bounty, its history, traditions, and topography.
INDIGENOUS CUISINE.
Beyond every experience, a journey is just a vacation and not an adventure without a variety of indigenous cuisine. When you explore a country or a place's food it isn't uncommon to often find interesting surprises in every dish. Not everyone has the courage of Anthony Bourdain because some of those surprises can offend your tastebuds. Nevertheless, whether you're a tourist or a traveler, courageous or careful, your journey won't be complete if your itinerary excludes from it the thrill of tasting what has been foretold about a place’s cuisine.
