There is no easy answer to that question. However, here are nine suggestions that may offer an option to your personal financial situation.

We are often on a quest of finding the best restaurant in town or the tastiest burger that landed our tongues, thus giving birth to culinary travel. This is indeed the most savory trip that anybody can rely on.

We all love to travel and eat. We cannot leave one place without trying their most sought delicacies in town. Our passion to try something unique gave way to a new learning experience for everyone. And quite a tasty one in fact. Fill up those bellies and forget the diet when you are on a foodie road trip.

Food greatly symbolizes the history and heritage of a nation. Literally it can tell the preference and richness of a culture through its native dishes. Practically every dish has a story to tell, a witty twist to a traditional recipe or practically just an old recipe from grandma you been meaning to cook for your darling on your anniversary. It is amazing that our commonly served dishes were more than just ammo for an empty stomach.

Normally this educational trip is more than consuming the dishes. Those who frequently attend these trips would be our elders and some culinary students who might be interested in preparing the food. Admittedly each nation has an approach or taste that they apply in cooking one recipe.… READ MORE ...
