I haven’t travelled much, sadly. But I’ve had plenty of access to authentic food made by immigrants from various countries. Indian and Thai are my favorites thus far, but I would really like to try Persian food. I just checked out a cookbook from the library called The Bottom of the Pot which I saw mentioned on Padma Lakshmi’s Taste the Nation show - highly recommend, by the way. It’s interesting to note that some of our favorite ethnic foods, including many iconic Italian dishes, were created by immigrants in America and then travelled back to their home countries and became staples there as well. There’s an Italian food historian who recently released a book about this phenomenon much to the consternation of many Italians in Italy lol.

America is such a great place, with so many wonderful people from everywhere. It’s sad to me that so many people don’t appreciate that.

New Orleans
Singapore
Grand Case, St. Maarten

Vietnam
Thailand
India
Israel
Morocco

I would also say Emilia Romagna and northern Thailand. Plus Singapore and Sumatra.

Emilia-Romagna. The food in Parma and Ravenna was amazing. I've also had a trip like that to Florence.

Thailand

Which country city have you been to where almost everything you have tasted was memorable to your taste palette?

I have been to many places and Italian cuisine in Italy has been hands down the best. Pretty much whatever we ate I remember, we were there for 4 days.
