What to try and what better not to touch: 9 countries with the best food

Without a delicious meal, a classy trip simply cannot be, because there is a whole culture in the kitchen. We love to talk about food, and finally, it's time to find out which cuisine is really the best, which dishes are worth trying, and which are better to refrain from.

Italy

Worth a try: bolognese, pizza, Italian salami and coffee.

It is very doubtful: cheese with larvae kasu marzu.

Italian food has conquered the whole world long ago. Yes, and this is very predictable: their delicious tomato sauces, desserts, pasta ... Their food is very comfortable and simple, but at the same time incredibly tasty.

China

Worth a try: sweet and sour pork, dim sum snacks, Peking duck, roasted pig and stunning xiaolunbao steamed dumplings.

It is very doubtful: shark fin soup, which some consider a delicacy, while others are trying to ban because of cruelty to animals.

The phrase "Have you eaten?" the Chinese are comparable to greeting, so it is not surprising that in China you can experience the shock of food just a few times a day. The cuisines of the local provinces are so different that you can not believe that they belong to one nation.

France

Worth a try: a delicious dish of escargo snails (it is amazing how the French managed to turn slugs from the garden into a real delicacy), a baguette that you always want to eat, and macarons - such a delicious dessert, like unicorn food.

It is very doubtful: foie gras, and then if you are a zealous animal protector.

If you think that there is more to life than food, then you definitely need to go to France, because the French believe in good food. Only here you can go on a two-week trip to the regions to taste wine and eat cheese.

Spain

Worth a try: jamon, churros sweet pastries.

Very doubtful: gazpacho, which is more like a liquid salad.

Well, you must admit, Spain is the food culture that everyone secretly dreams of, because passion is filled not only with their dances, but also with their dishes. Fiesta, endless snacks, lunch breaks and late tasty dinners - it seems their culture has grown around food.

Japan

Worth a try: miso soup, where all the flavors of Japan, sushi and sashimi, which have become so popular that they are eaten all over the world, have merged together, and tempura is an ideal deep-fryer, incredibly thin and completely non-greasy.

It is very doubtful: puffer ... In Japan, you can definitely find something more tasty, without risking your life.

The Japanese are as responsible for their cuisine as they are for technology. So here it is simply impossible to eat badly: even the most unfamiliar product in the store will certainly be delicious. Well, one can talk for a long time about the originality of the Japanese even in dishes: green chocolate, blue strawberries, and unusually shaped fruits - these are all their “inventions”.

Greece

Worth a try: Spanakopita spinach pie, the famous gyro, consisting of tortillas, meat and zaziki sauce, and, of course, olive oil, which can be sprinkled with everything from bread.

It is very doubtful: lahanorizo is just a long stewed cabbage with onions.

Greece with its snow-white buildings, a sky-blue sea and magical food is like some kind of revived postcard. Olives, feta, colored vegetable salads, fried meat in combination with lentil soup and dolma, which were eaten in antiquity - well, it's perfect, isn't it?

Thailand

Worth a try: spicy Tom Yum soup with seafood in coconut milk, Massaman curry, which has Islamic roots, and a traditional papaya salad with catfish.

It is very doubtful: the place (pla som) - a fish intentionally fermented, served raw with spices.

Thailand's street food has long been a local attraction. Thais managed to combine spicy, sweet, sour, salty, crunchy, slimy and turn it all into one dish. The food here is like music, so many pleasant and amazing combinations.

Mexico

Worth a try: chocolate mole for meat, delicious taco al pastor from pork and tamale, which was still eaten by Maya.

It is very doubtful: toast, and then only because it is inconvenient to eat. This is something like a burrito or tacos, but the cake is fried and constantly crumbles.

If you could choose one kitchen for life, then Mexican dishes would definitely be in the lead, because they have a bit of everything. Among the enchiladas, tacos and quesadillas, you can easily find the luxury of Indian curry, the piquancy of Greek salads, the lightness of Spanish tapas and Thai peppercorn. And the food here is very healthy: avocado, beans, tomatoes, lime, good chocolate - it sounds like a diet.

USA

Worth a try: cheeseburger and american cookies.

Doubtful: over-processed foods like Twinkies.

In America, excellent cuisine due to the fact that a lot originates somewhere in another country: pizza - a slice of Italy, french fries - Belgium, hamburgers and sausages - Germany. But here it was all improved and supplemented, and many of these dishes we associate with the States. However, there are also more traditional American dishes: clam soup, lime pie and others, which are also better to look at.
