They say, if you want to understand the culture of a country, you try their cuisine. Every country has its own speciality, which cannot be easily replicated by others. So here we are with a list of delectable and interesting foods that should only be enjoyed in the country they originated from to savour the local flavours.<\/p>\n

Interesting Foods Around the World<\/h2>\n

Phaksha Paa \u2013 Bhutan<\/h3>\n

This may be a small place, but Bhutan tourism packages<\/a> are full of surprises when it comes to its finger licking cuisine. Out of the many scrumptious dishes native to this beautiful country, \u2018Phaksha Paa\u2019 is the one that makes a lasting impression on every traveller\u2019s mind who has tasted this delicacy. In simple terms, this dish consists of Pork, a lot of vegetables and a great variety of local spices. So if you do find yourself hiking through the lush forests how to reach Bhutan from India<\/a>, this delicacy is something you cannot miss out on.<\/p>\n

\"Phaksha<\/p>\n

Trippa Alla Fiorentina – Italy:<\/h3>\n

If there is one place known for its food, it\u2019s the land of Italy. While they have mastered the art of dining in style, Italian chefs are skilled enough to make anything tastuncone amazing. From the land of gourmet food comes the\u00a0ventional yet equally mesmerising dish, \u2018Trippa Alla Fiorentina\u2019, which is made from tripe and home-grown Italian spices. You may find this dish in other places, but it may not taste as good as the one served in Italy.<\/p>\n

Kofte \u2013 Turkey:<\/h3>\n

Once a traditional dish served in every household, the fame of Kofte took it far across the globe. This wonderful meatball dish is generally made with minced mutton or beef. It has also been prepared with veal, chicken, pork or a mixture of all these. While Kofte can generally be enjoyed at many Turkish themed restaurants, we suggest you to try it in Turkey, if you happen to pick our Turkey tourism<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Kofte<\/p>\n

Moqueca de Camar\u00e3o \u2013 Brazil:<\/h3>\n

Brazil is famous for its beaches, carnivals, monuments and for its ever popular cuisines. The cuisine is majorly influenced by Portuguese culture, which has inspired the locals to make some of their own dishes that simply satiate your palate. Once such dish is the Moqueca de Camar\u00e3o; made with shrimp, coconut milk, palm oil and a whole lot of greens. It may sound simple, but there is something unique about the way it\u2019s prepared, making it impossible to replicate elsewhere.<\/p>\n

\"Moqueca<\/p>\n

There are, of course, countless interesting foods and dishes that can only be found in their country of origin.

Stuffed Camel \u2013 Dubai<\/h3>\n
