How To Discover Local Food & Cuisines

Posted: Mar 06, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

A place is often described by its food. Lot of travelers like to discover & absorb the local cuisine. So if you have been to India and you did not eat ‘Masala Dosa' in South India, or ‘Butter chicken' in North or the awesome ‘Sweet delicacies' of the west – you did miss a lot of that country.

Discovering what all food to go after can be a task however should not be big enough to keep you from savoring the delights.

If you are a true foodie you'll definitely find your way out. But if you are not then you might find these tips handy.

Find Locals – getting in touch with local people of the place you are visiting can be the sure shot way to know the best dishes & places to check out those dishes. If you already don't have local friends, then get on Internet and make a few through travel sites serving this purpose.

Do some homework – yes, read thru food guides, search on internet about local cuisines and their famous joints. Internet is full of advices and tips from people about food.

Television – Being a foodie I just can't keep off the television shows like on Travel & living and other lifestyle channels. It's the best way to actually see the food and locate best places to have them. Keep noting it in your master diary and use it when you are good to go!

I also like to chat up with my friends who have been traveling around to get info about food. You need to keep making a mental note about the clues that you pick up in such conversation.

If you just want to explore after reaching the new city, best to ask the people in place you are staying at. The hotel people would be more then helpful to suggest. Similarly when going to a restaurant or eatery do ask the waiters etc to suggest you good local dishes.

    Not every body understands that it's hard for a person who has slogged all day in office on his or her desk to get home and straight away start exercising or even worse give up eating what you really like by those impossible weight loss diets, because at the end of a hard day you just want to relax and have some fun. Not obsess over your waistline.
