Yeah, I watch too many Andrew Zimmern shows, & don't even like him. But I enjoy learning about the cuisines of other countries. Some think it's part of the travel experience. I whole heartily agree.
Yep, it says country, or outside the US, please.

There are a lot of countries I would like to sample the cuisine from, unfortunately there are very few I would actually travel to right now. Marrakesh was featured on a food show I watched recently and I must say I am intrigued. Not likely to happen since my wife does not like seafood and 90% of their diet seems to be of the swimming variety.

I’ve only been to a few other countries, but would go back to Ireland in a heartbeat, but I’m a fan of comfort food and good beer. Germany had some outstanding food, and excellent beer, I was surprised by the variety of sausages, and schweinhaxe (sp?) would be worth the trip itself. I had a couple remarkably good meals in Poland and learned to beware of the street food in Prague.
Looking forward to a family trip to Bavaria, Austria, and northern Italy next summer.

I'd start at Genoa, head south along the coast, and eat my way all the way down to Palermo.

Sorry RockinB, I'm editing the thread. Texas is not a country, not yet anyway.

I knew there would be plenty of folks saying Italy and France. And that's for good reason. But, also had some fantastic food in Salzburg and Vienna, Austria. If you go, try the Goldenen Ente in Salzburg and the Naschmarkt in Vienna. The beer is also outstanding.

Been to Most of Europe, Most of the Middle east, some of Asia. I think last count was either 13 or 15 different countries. less than 5 days doesn't count. So Carrier port calls of less than a week not included in those numbers. All those countries I spent more than a week in. Ranked in top 5:
Greece Turkey (tied with Italy for 2/3) this covers most if not all Middle eastern food. Italy (tied with Turkey for 2/3) Singapore (Nation State, but for this discussion, it counts. It also covers almost all Asian cuisine) Germany
Honorable mentions: Japan, Spain

Greece seems very desirable, Turkey? didn't see that coming.
Spain mentioned, I'm drawn to Portugal, that much difference?

I used to watch a ton of No Reservations.
My favorite was probably Ecuador. For some reason, I would love to go there for the food.
Probably all of central and south America actually, but that episode in Ecuador was the best.
Ecuador is probably a schit hole now....or a worse schit hole than it was.
I am MAGA.

Japan and Singapore. I love nearly all Japanese cuisine staples, although breakfast takes a little getting used to. The Chinese fusion cuisine in Singapore is the best in the world as far as I can tell.
