National Dishes
I travel a lot. What I like most about travelling is that I can experience something new: people, cultures, traditions. And the first thing I do when I come to a new country is go to the local café. Yes, I believe that national dishes can help a lot with understanding the culture of a specific country. Moreover, it's the perfect opportunity to try something new. For example, visiting Thailand and not trying its famous tom yum soup means you know nothing about Thailand. What place should you choose? I advise you to find cafés with lots of locals having meals there. This indicates that the quality of food is good, the price is not high, and definitely you'll find local dishes, not only international ones. But also, there can be some pitfalls. Your stomach can not be used to unusual food. So be reasonable and don't try all local dishes at once. Or at least, don't forget to take some medicine with you. Unfortunately, I had a bad experience while travelling around Mexico. I tried tacos, and they were probably not fresh or maybe too spicy, so I spent the next two days in my hotel room. Anyway, don't be afraid to try something new during your trips.
