2020 and 2021 sure have been tough years for foodies like us that often plan their trips around visiting places where the food is good. While the current global health situation makes it difficult for us to travel outside of borders, there are some things that you can do at home to “travel” with your tastebuds.
Choosing the Country
One trend that people are giving a shot this year is choosing a country, choosing an emblematic dish from that country, and preparing it at home using authentic ingredients and the authentic techniques used to make the dish.
Whether it’s choosing countries that you have always wanted to visit, selecting countries that are the home to a dish that you particularly love, or randomly spinning a wheel to choose a country, there are so many ways that this can be done.
Research and Set The Mood
Once you have settled on a country and a dish, do research online in order to ensure that you know how to prepare the dish properly. Watch YouTube videos of natives of your chosen country making the dish, read recipes, and learn more about the ingredients that you will have to use to make it.
Once you have prepared your international dish of the day, choose a typical drink from that country, play some regional music, and call it a night and pretend that you’re on a trip!
Enjoy your “travels!”
