The Foodie
Must-try foods from around the globe.
Canada: Poutine
Poutine is French fries drenched in brown gravy and cheese curds. It’s better than it sounds.
India: Tandoori Chicken
The dish gets its name from both the tandoori masala it’s spiced with and the tandoor, the type of clay oven it’s cooked it. Not a fan of spice? Order it with mild spice.
England: Roast Beef & Yorkshire Pudding
Even if doughy bread is not your thing, you have to try this dish that’s considered the national dish of England.
Austria: Wiener Schnitzel
One of the national dishes of Austria, this dish is thinly slices veal that’s been breaded and pan fried or deep fried.
Egypt: Molokhia
Molokhia leaves are stripped from the stems, then finely minced and cooked with coriander, garlic and stock. The bitter vegetable is usually served with chicken, lamb, fish or even rabbit.
Switzerland: Chocolate
You can take a chocolate train, tour the Lindt factory, and even get a chocolate spa treatment.
Thailand: Pad Thai
Think you’ve had great pad thai outside of Thailand? Think again. We can’t promise you won’t eat it every day of your vacation.
