Do You Develop Culinary Routines While on Vacation?

September 30, 2010

Recently when I was traveling in Spain, I treated myself to three sardines and three beers everyday. Perhaps it's because I find comfort in routines, especially culinary ones, but I always develop an eating habit while on vacation. In Costa Rica, I tried ceviche at every restaurant, and in Argentina, I could not stop ordering provoleta. How about you?

I actually use vacations as a way to try out brand new things.

i always try a local beer...and don't judge, but i go into a mcd's to see what is unique on their menu (it doesn't hurt that it is child friendly).

In France, crepes of all kinds! Poland I got pierogies a lot and had beer with almost every meal even though I'm not much of a beer drinker usually Zywiec and Paulaner just seemed to taste so much better there! Everywhere I go I pretty much try to eat what they're known for and if it's anywhere near an ocean I get seafood for almost every meal.

Recently in Italy, I had to try the pizza in each city I visited!

Yep, I'm guilty of doing this! Probably because when I go somewhere and discover some local specialty, I want to have as much of it as I can before I go home. In El Salvador, I ate pupusas several different days and when I was in Riviera Maya in Mexico, I ate ceviche all the time. I don't get to eat a lot of seafood where I live right now because it's expensive, so when I go anywhere coastal I load up on it.

I'm with bluebell, I hate going to the same restaurant more than once on vacation. that said, I would totally eat provoleta every day of my life if it were possible. yum....
