Food & Tourism

I´m studying Tourism at the University here in Granada. Last week in my English lesson we came across a great part of our text book and that was Food Tourism.

Me and my teacher we had a slight fight on a listening activity where we had to match the descriptions said to the photographs, he mixed my home town´s fish and chips with breaded pork!! and others! As we carried on talking he confessed that all he cooks are sandwiches so I forgave him.

Back to the point we talked about dishes from all over the world and this Food Tourism where people go to unknown places to them and they try all the typical dishes they can from that area, I can tell you that I´m a food tourist.

A few weeks ago my dad received a packet from Hungary and in that packet there was a handful of chocolates and this tube called Piros Arany or "Red Gold" it´s this amazing paprika paste with an amazing colour and taste I have already used it a few times and hopefully soon I´ll try making the Hungarian dish goulash where it is more commonly used.

At the moment I´m reading a book about Japanese food and drink and their lifestyle following the Zen philosophy I´ll tell you more about it when I finish it and try some of the amazing traditional recipes included in the book.

I would like to ask you all to write what your home town typical dish is, how do you have it or any dish you´ve tried on vacation and would like to know how to recreate it. Just Send Me An Email or Comment and I will read it and make it for all of you to see and learn.
