Traveling is one of my favorite things to do whether its around the country or around the world. Trying new foods in different parts of the world is one of the best parts. Here’s my food bucket list hopefully it gives you some ideas of some new foods to try!

You can’t go to Philly without trying a cheesesteak! Well actually I did. Whoops! When I was younger I went to Philly with my dad and grandpa and we saw the Phillies baseball team play. Back then I was a picky eater so I did not try a cheesesteak. Now, I have a much broader palette and will definitelty go back one day to try one.

One of my favorite shows is Downton Abbey so a goal of mine is to have a fancy afternoon tea with finger sandwhiches in England.

Here are a few things I’ve already checked off my food bucket list that may give you some inspiration for your own food bucket list:
Jamon Iberico, Paella, Calamari and tapas and churros and chocolate in Spain
Last year I went to Spain and had the best time and the best food including paella, calamari, tapas and churros with chocolate. But the number one thing to try while in Spain and my absolute favorite food is the jamon iberico. Jamon iberico (Iberian ham) is similar to proscuitto and is special because the pigs that its made from are only fed acorns.
A few years ago I went on a trip down the Danube River. I went to Budapest, Hungary, Bratislava, Slovakia, Vienna, Austria, Salzburg, Austria, Durnstein, Austria and Passau, Germany. I also tried many delicious and native foods. I had gulash in Budepest, wiener schnitzel in Vienna, Mozart chocolate, which is famous for its marzipan center, in Salzburg, and pretzels and bratwurst in Germany.
I have been to Quebec, Canada multiple times and one of their famous dishes is poutine. Poutine is fries topped with gravy and cheese curds and it is delicious. There are also a lot of variations on it as well.
Since I live in New Engand and go to school near Boston, I have tried lots of clam chowder or chowdah as some would say. I love clam chowder and not the weird New York one with tomatoes in it but the real New Engand clam chowder. I have made it my mission to try all the best chowders in New England which are usually at places close to the water.
