Traveling around the world this year? Add these food items in your to-do-list.
Not just because I’m a food obsessed individual, but because food is an essential ingredient of human life – survival, culture, tradition, lifestyle, festivals, relationships, comforts food plays a part in everything.
# Australia: Meat PieAustralians sure do love their meat pies they consume millions of pies annually, taking it on the go or enjoying it at a cafe. Eat it like locals do by topping it with warm or chilled tomato sauce.
# Belgium: Moules FritesMussels and fries are as common in Belgium as burgers and fries are in the U.S. Try it the simple way by ordering plain, steamed mussels or with some extra flavor like curry powder.
# Brazil: PudimPudim looks exactly like flan, but the Brazilian version has a softer texture. You'll find this dessert in every restaurant, cafe and home.
# Greece: SpanakopitaThis savory spinach and feta pie is a Greek staple originating almost 400 years ago. You'll find freshly-made spanakopita at nearly every bakery in the country.
# Finland: Squeaky CheeseIt's unlikely you'll find Leipäjuusto or Finnish squeaky cheese anywhere outside of Finland. The mild cheese is most commonly pan-fried and served with cloudberry jam for dessert or alongside coffee.
