Did you know that you can take culinary tours through countries? Yes, you can arrange with your travel agent to take a culinary tour where the trip is focused on either learning to cook the foreign foods or just eating and/or cooking. Some fantastic countries famous for culinary tours include:
France -- you can arrange a culinary tour through French wine country and then down to Provence and St. Tropez. As noted, you can elect to cook your way through the experience or simply eat your way through the country. France is famous for pastries, blood sausage and seafood delicacies along the coastline.
Italy -- of course Italy is world-famous for its foods. Different regions, though, are well-known for specific foods, from pizza to pasta. Italian pizza is not what we eat here in America. They don't put cheese on it, and it's more like a flat bread with herbs and season to bring out the tastes. Florence, for example, is famous for its specific cuisine. So sit down with your travel agent and design your trip around the foods that please you.
Germany -- another country world-famous for its Bavarian specialties, and of course, beer. You can enjoy authentic choices such as bratwurst or sauerkraut. Design an eating tour around Octoberfest and the beer gardens.
Please note: some countries are now famous for their food. In fact, some countries serve common foods that a lot of people will not like. What we eat here in America that is considered, for example, authentic Chinese food isn't even close. So, be discerning on your choice of culinary trips and be sure it's what you expect.
