When abroad, enjoying new, interesting and different cuisines can be one of the biggest thrills of your trip. It’s a chance to experience something new, and to discover new flavours as well. Even if you try something you don’t enjoy, you will have had a whole new experience that could lead to a discovery you might never have had.

It always pays to be adventurous – make sure you are open to new types of food and different experiences. If you look at the kinds of foods local people eat, this will give you a good guide.

Eating in local restaurants is always an interesting experience and you will find plenty to keep you entertained on the menu. If you aren’t sure about an ingredient or description, ask the staff – they will usually be happy to help and tell you about their local dishes. Do your research first to find the options you will like.
