International Foods to Try During Your Next Family Vacation
There are quite a few international foods to try all around the world. I’m talking about more than 80 different ethnic cuisines. It is definitely difficult to say which international food is the best. Especially since everyone has their own personal favorite. Today, I am sharing some of the international foods to try during your next family vacation.
International Foods to Try During Your Next Family Vacation
Morocco – Quite a Unique International Food
B’stilla, or Pastilla, is also called pigeon pie. It is slightly sweet and savory dish that is served as an appetizer. It is made with quail, chicken thighs, or Cornish hens when pigeon is not available.
Italy
Prosciutto di Parma is made from only the hind legs of chosen heritage bred pigs. This ham is cured for at least 400 days (by law). The result is a slice of delectable meat prepared in perfect conditions.
Poland
Chlodnik is a summer soup. It is very popular within Polish culture. The soup is bright pink and served cold. Its main ingredients are beets, cucumber and yogurt.
Hawaii
Poke is a traditional Hawaiian dish. It is served as an appetizer or a main dish. Essentially, it contains diced raw fish doused in seasonings. The fish can be lightly seared depending on a person’s preferences.
And yes, I know Hawaii is not an international destination. However, Hawaiian poke is definitely a dish you will want to try when you are traveling with family! So, that’s why I added it as an international food to try while on a family vacation.
Singapore
Chili Crab is prepared using mud crabs. Those crabs have much larger front claws than the traditional blue crab. The crabs are stir-fried in a delicious thick tomato and chili-based sauce.
Japan
Ankimo is the foie gras of the sea. It is comprised of monkfish liver rubbed with salt and washed in sake. Once deveined, the liver is rolled and steamed. The dish is served with scallions, grated daikon, and ponzu sauce.
Indonesia
Rendang is prepared with beef sirloin, spices, and coconut milk. This makes this dish richer than traditional curry. The meat is slow-cooked until just about all the liquid is gone.
Senegal – A Delicious International Food
Poulet Yassa is prepared using marinated poultry or fish. This succulent dish is prepared with lemon and lots of caramelized onions (they really make the dish). It is served over white rice.
If you are unable to travel the globe to try international foods from around the world, you can take a stab at some recipes in your own kitchen. Some of the recipes are more complex than others. But think of the memories you will make, as you try to recreate each one.
