Here’s a little something for all of our foodie travellers to chew on.
Travelling the world can expose us to all sorts of diversified
cultures and customs. Whether it’s a country’s architecture, beauty
or attractions, the deal-sealer of any enjoyable trip is undeniably
whether that destination can provide us with food that is both
mouth-watering and explosive in its taste.
So let us guide you through the top countries we believe to be the
best providers of blow-your-socks off transatlantic cuisine:

3. 1. Italy
Italian food is more than food; it is a way of life for the culture and Mamma
Mia can the Italians cook. Italy is majestic in its ability to inflame your taste
buds with rich and warming flavours. Attached to their influential heritage of
food and wine, Italy’s love of traditional cuisine has been ingrained in their
culture from many generations ago. This has resulted in their food becoming
as acclaimed as the country’s historical and artistic assets. Visit Italy for
wholesome and home-cooked foods that will undoubtedly include the genius
employment of a tomato that no other culture can quite conquer in the same
way. Whether it’s a pasta or pizza dish, you will find the ingredients to be rich
in olive oil and garlic, sprinkled with the imperative accent of an Italian
cheese. Most probably, a succulent parmesan or mozzarella. Also notorious
for its gelato, Italian ice-cream is a definite must when visiting the country.
Ensure you indulge in the feast of light bites that are involved in an antipasto
board, such as cured meats, olives and vegetables.

4. 2. Mexico
If you’ve got a thing for spice, then Ariba Ariba over to the home of
authentic and fiery food, Mexico. Infuse your mouth with the fusion of
indigenous Mesoamerican cooking and you’ll find yourself in a world of
garlic, onion, cilantro, oregano, cumin and chili flavours. Don’t think Taco
Bell is all there is to offer from the Latin American country. These spices
are usually the counterparts of the country’s notorious trademark dishes
such as enchiladas, burritos, fajitas, quesadillas... the list goes on.

5. 3. India
Tantalise your taste buds with Indian dishes that are as diversified in their
flavours as the country is in its culture, geography and climate. There are
flavours injected into Indian cuisine from all corners of the subcontinent,
however the full-flavours that bring any curry to life are chilli pepper, black
mustard seed and cumin. You will find your food’s spices, vegetables and
meats will be localised to the area of the country you visit. In northern India
you will find they satisfy a creamier pallet with yoghurt based dishes, eastern
India caters to the sweet tooth with its popular sweet deserts soaked in
sugar syrup, whereas western India is for the savoury meat eater where pork
is a regular component, whilst the south is not for the fainthearted due to
being famous for their brave use of spices. Nonetheless, your weekly
Saturday night chicken Balti won’t stand a chance.

6. 4. France
Everyone knows that food is the way to someone’s heart.
However, we all also know that when it comes to people falling in
love, France is the place is to go. So why not go and fall in love with
the French cuisine. The French manage to air a grace of
sophistication into their food and is noted as one of the world’s
most refined and elegant style of cooking. The finesse of flavour in
French foods is achieved through their love of garlic and onion
seasoning. Red wine, a selection of cheese and beef bourguignon
completed with the delicious desert of a chocolate soufflé is not
something to be missed, and will assuredly leave you feeling rather
Va Va Voom.

7. 5. Thai
Balance, detail and variety are of paramount significance to Thai chefs.
Despite reflecting the same Asian elements of Chinese with its use of rice,
noodles and vegetables, Thailand offers a cuisine that is light, intricate
and colourful, reflective of its culture, environment, ingenuity and values.
Either play it safe with a fragrant Thai green chicken curry or be brave
with hot and sour shrimp soup.
