My first feijoada was in a Rio favella–rich, gristly, and SO satisfying. Slave food, or sought-after delicacy; the origin stories of using ears and trotters (amongst other meats) contradict each other. But what holds true is the inky-black colour imparted by the beans, and the hearty gratification of Brazil's national dish. Legendary.

Spotted in Cusco, Peru... The most famous meal in history gets a very Andean makeover with cuy taking centre stage on the holy dinner table. It was a genius 1753 marketing move from the Spanish, who used local delicacies to make Christianity feel more palatable (sorry-not-sorry) to the Incan people. An unexpected example of fusion food in Peru! In other news, our Peru trip kicks off next week... who's excited? 🙋‍♀️

On a wobbly stool against a home-made shelf-come-table under a bridge in Yogyakarta. That was where I had the most memorable meal of my life: unbelievable lamb satay. Super spicy, but rich, savory and complex; and it’s had me wanting more ever since that afternoon 14 years ago. And I can’t believe I actually have a picture of it being made!
A lot of the time, meals abroad can actually feel quite alienating...

Perhaps elders should eat first?

A lot of the time, meals abroad can actually feel quite alienating... Maybe you don’t know the customs, or the cutlery. Perhaps elders should eat first? Should you eat with your hands (and if so, does it matter which one)? Should I wait to be served, or can I help myself? Should I finish my plate, or leave a bit so my host feels generous? Is slurping rude, or encouraged? It’s a minefield out there! Let us guide you through the pitfalls so all you need to worry about is how good it all tastes!
