This famous noodle soup is a little bowl of deliciousness, the perfect balance of herby broth, thinly-sliced beef, silky rice noodles, and crunchy bean sprouts on top. Pho is slightly different in every Vietnamese city you visit, but it’s all good.
They’re only available for a few months of the year, but these salty, creamy oysters are worth timing your trip to get your hands on. Plenty of Kiwis seem to like them battered and fried, but I’d go natural every time. Find out more about travel to New Zealand here.
You can get good Pad Thai in Australia, but it’s nowhere near as good as the stuff you can buy on the streets of Bangkok for little more than spare change. There it’s spicy, sweet, sour and delicious. Find out more about travel to Thailand here.
How good can the humble sausage get? You’ll find out in Germany when you order “bratwurst
On the streets of Mexico
This is Malaysia’s version of the breakfast of champions: a delicious plate of coconut rice with spicy curry, a boiled egg, some sliced cucumber, and a handful of dried anchovies. Now that’s how you get your day started right.
If there’s one thing they love in Argentina – aside from Diego Maradona and political turmoil – it’s meat. And damn they know how to do it well. Turn up to any steakhouse and order the “
There are plenty of great burger joints in the US, from In-N-Out on the West Coast to Shake Shack in the East, but my favourite is a chain called Umami Burger, a place that serves juicy meat patties loaded with umami goodness. Find out more about travel to USA here.
Peru is known best for ceviche, but one of its heartiest and tastiest dishes is one you’ll mainly find in the north of the country:
The pizza is good. The prosciutto is good.
Pork bones are boiled for days to make the perfect ramen broth – a thick, heady soup filled with porky flavour, mixed with chewy noodles and topped with slices of pork and mushrooms. Ramen in Japan is an art form. And you’ll appreciate it. Find out more about travel to Japan here.
They’re the dumplings Australia has come to love: delicate little packages of juicy, spiced pork that explode in your mouth with heat and flavour. The original and best versions of this great dish come from Shanghai. Find out more about travel to China here.
A thali is essentially all of your favourite Indian treats together at last. It’s a huge plate full of rice, and curries, and bread, and pappadums, and chutneys, and lime pickle, and a super-sweet dessert. It’s the best lunch you can order in this part of the world.
What sort of cheese? It really doesn’t matter. It could be stinky and oozy. It might be aged and sharp. It might be any of the million choices of French cheese in between. All of them will be amazing. Find out more about travel to Europe here.
There’s plenty of great food in Iran, from the feta cheese to the stews, but the classic dish is a shish kebab of spiced, minced lamb, cooked over hot coals and served with perfectly cooked basmati rice.
All over Morocco you’ll find people eating from circular terracotta plates, the bottom half of a cooking vessel called a tagine. What’s inside that tagine can vary, but the best filling is chicken cooked with olives, preserved lemons and plenty of olive oil.
This isn’t a food so much as a national obsession. There are people who have made a whole career out of being very good at carving
Who invented falafel? We’ll leave most of the Middle East to argue that
Hey, leave haggis alone. It might not sound very appetising, being a boiled hunk of minced sheep innards, but the great thing about haggis is that it’s far tastier than the sum of its parts. A good haggis supper – a deep-fried hunk of haggis served with chips and gravy – is actually hard to beat. Find out more about travel to UK here.
The Dutch aren’t exactly famous for their cuisine, with the exception of cheese like Edam and Gouda, but they should be known for their apple pie. Forget the down-home American kind – a Dutch apple pie, filled with cinnamon, raisins, and big
