10 Holiday Ideas for Enjoying Food and Drink
Although human beings do not necessarily live to eat, they certainly have developed a fine sense of taste. Food and drink is such an essential component of one's existence that it is quite unsurprising that tourism has now included it as a concept. Here are ten destinations in the world that are known for holidays where one can enjoy food and drink.
1. Corsica - Holidaying in Corsica has a large ingredient of enjoying the hearty food native to the region. The wild boar stews, among other typical dishes, are made according to traditional recipes. Chestnuts are native to the land and Olive oil production is big; the wildflower honey that is harvested there is among the best in the world.
2. Cyprus - Cyprus prefers to stick to their locally grown produce for their cuisine. Exotic fruit like kiwi, olives, citrus fruit, and figs grow in abundance here. Sample the carob that grows liberally in the region, and some of the delicious sweets. There is soutzoukos which is a sweet grape paste containing lots of nuts, stafidakia which are sun-dried raisins, and hiromeri, smoked pork leg.
3. Napoli - On a food holiday in Napoli, have breakfast like a local – a shot of espresso as an accompaniment to a cornetto pastry. Lunch for most working individuals is a takeaway pizza wrapped in paper. Fritters with seaweed are popular munchies in the Neapolitan day. The buffalo mozzarella cheese is unrivalled.
4. Spain - Spain is known for its exquisite and unique dishes, its spicy and delightful cuisine is a favourite with food lovers all over the globe. Spanish wines accompany the food and are often used in cuisine.
5. France - France is one of the best places to understand and enjoy top class cuisine. Bordeaux, France's wine making region is a great place to learn about wine. Wine tasting tours in France have been all the rage for quite a while now, and most of the visitors are housed in the old chateaux in the region.
6. Cambodia - Cambodian cuisine is based mainly around fresh fish and rice, with stewed meats liberally thrown in, and accompaniments like spicy vegetables, seafood fritters and shrimp concoctions. The cuisine is essentially fusion, inspired from neighbouring countries in the Orient.
7. Thailand - Thailand is a beautiful country, steeped richly in culture and heritage. Thailand is a great place to enjoy seafood and sample spicy cuisine. Cooking Thai food starts in the marketplace, buying local fresh produce.
8. Vietnam - Vietnamese cuisine is inspired a great deal by Indian, Cambodian and Thai cuisines, and there is a liberal use of coconut milk in various preparations. The meals also consist of many different kinds of tropical fruit, not available in the cooler areas up north. Vietnam tourism also has a number of package tours, designed to combine sightseeing and experiencing its cuisine, hand in hand.
9. Mexico - San Miguel de Allende is known for its exceptional culinary features, and its rich array of art galleries and boutiques. Cooking holidays in Mexico are journeys through the exultant culture that pervades every aspect of life. This is a chance to learn how to make perfect salsas and burritos, with coffee flavoured with chocolate, and to mix the perfect marguerita.
10. India - India is such a large nation that its cuisine depends on each state. Currently taking the world by storm is one of the South Indian cuisines from the state of Kerala. Rich in fish and coconuts, this cuisine is delicately spiced and flavoured. Learn the Kerala cuisine living on a houseboat, floating across the scenic backwaters of the beautiful Indian state.
