Exploring local cuisines offers a unique way to understand a region's history, culture, and geography. From farmers markets to restaurants, tasting the local specialties reveals the influence of regional ingredients and traditions.
A great way to get to know a place better is through its food, as inevitably, the regional and seasonal ingredients have played a big role in building the character and personality of a place. So whether it’s strolling through a farmers market or a grocery store or sampling the local specialties at a bakery or restaurant, you’ll likely learn a lot about the geographical, cultural, and historical roots of the area. Call it terroir, call it merroir, or just call it a delicious understanding.
