46 Delicious Types of Food From Different Countries Around The world

Besides all my naughty tales in Destination Poon, one of the most memorable aspects of travel for me is food. I’m talking about the luxury to taste all those new foods around the world, broaden your culinary horizon, and calibrate your taste buds. Yesterday a thought hit me when I was organizing my travel albums, and that thought manifested today into what you’re now reading.

What I’m about to show you is not the best or worst of foods, but rather types of food I managed to capture on camera and remembered to be interesting and worth sharing. I’ll be adding some more countries and photos over the years, creating a nice presentation of food from around the world..

Different Foods From Different Countries Around The World

The country above each food is where I tasted it and took the photo.

Vietnam

The Vietnamese ‘Pho Ga’, my favorite soup in the world.

***

Serbia

This is a fresh fish from the Danube river. Had this on a little floating restaurant in Belgrade. Easily the best meal I had in Serbia.

***

Jordan

On the trip to our neighbours in Petra, we had a little stop to try the local Mansaf, lamb cooked in yogurt with rice.

***

Mexico

Mexican huarache. LOVE this thing.

***

Italy

The BEST pizza I’ve had in my entire life. Apparently, Italy is a zillion levels above the rest of the world.

***

Taiwan

Picked a random little restaurant in Taiwan and ordered… this. It looks disgusting, but I swear it’s delicious.

***

Montenegro

Organic grass-fed Montenegrin beef liver, one of the richest sources of B12. Comes with fresh tomato sauce. Beyond amazing.

***

Nicaragua

Nicaraguan beef heart, a nutritious source of cholesterol and healthy saturated fats to boost testosterone levels.

***

Burma (Myanmar)

Fell in love with those rich beefy soups of Burma. Rich in a variety of flavors from every angle.

***

France

Roasted SNAILS I had in an Alsacian village. They were so good I finished the whole thing in a minute.

***

El Salvador

Baby shrimps with veggies and rice in Playa El Tunco, El Salvador.

***

Greece

Had this Greek salad on the island of Rhodes. Made of lettuce, dried tomatoes, Greek cheese and an unbelievably rich sauce made of balsamic vinegar mixed with something which I forgot.

United States of America

Nothing beats some real Southern fried chicken! This I had in Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken, a small chain that is unknown to the international crowd. It’s real Fried Chicken, fried in lard, not KFC.

***

Kosovo

Kosovarian friends were enthusiastic to let me try their favorite food. I don’t remember its name, but it’s quite good.

***

Thailand

Best food I’ve had in Thailand. Go have it in Flow Restaurant, Soi Ngam Dupli, Bangkok.

***

Georgia

Georgian <3 KHINKALI<3 (meat dumplings) with Khvanchkara, “Stalin’s favorite wine.” Right from the “Her Father Will Kill You” chapter in Destination Poon.

 ***

Ethiopia

Sorry, Ethiopian fellas. No matter how much I tried to love your national Injera, I just couldn’t.

 ***

Armenia

The quality of Caucasus kebab is outstanding. You can always see the cattle freely roaming the grass outside.

***

Costa Rica

Ah, the colors of Costa Rican food! This is an amazing fish fillet I had a night before bungeeing in Monte Verde. Pura Vida!

***

Romania

Traditional romanian dish: beans with lots of pork meats on top.

***

Philippines

This is the first thing I ate in the Philippines: Stuffed squid.

***

Belize

Delicious stew of two armadillos we hunted in a Belizean jungle. Cooked with pineapples and some local spices.

***

Singapore

Had this beauty on my very last trip to Asia. It’s from Singapore, and it’s so spicy I couldn’t bear more than a dozen bites.

***

Israel

Oh, my beloved ISRAEL. This hummus is two minutes away from my home. With garbanzo beans, olive oil, paprika, eggs and parsley. Beyond delicious.

***

Panama

Just a normal meal in Panama. Had this plate of beef and veggies in Valle de Anton. Might have been the last meal I had before the famous horse incident from my book.

***

Japan

This alone is worth the visit to Japan. It’s a thousand times better than the crap sold cheaply in most Western places.

***

Laos

In some Asian countries, boiled fertilized duck embryos are a treat believed to increase libido and sexual virility. Most people know it by the name “Filipino Balut”, but I actually had it in Laos. Seasoned with salt, vinegar and chili. Some people call it ‘the most disgusting food in the world”, and I suppose you can see why.

***

Hungary

This is a rabbit’s leg I had in a restaurant in Budapest, Hungary. It tastes just as it looks: AMAZING.

***

South Korea

It may look extraordinary, but it’s really just a typical meal in South Korea. Lots of good stuff inside.

***

The Seychelles

Grilled parrot fish with rice. Had this in-between island hopping in the beautiful Seychelles.

***

Cyprus

Enjoying the benefits of coffee with a typical relaxation meal in Cyprus: Halloumi cheese & watermelon. DELICIOUS.

***

Luxembourg

Kidneys (great source for B12!) with French fries on the side. On the menu it said “typical Luxembourgish dish”.

***

Canada

Beef tenderloin in cranberry sauce. Had this in Niagara Falls, Canada.

***

Tanzania

Ah, the famous Zanzibar Pizza! No Western would actually recognize this as pizza, but regardless, it is delicious. I doubt you’ll find this in Tanzania’s mainland though.

***

Iceland

If you ever go to Iceland (and you should, this is by far the most beautiful country I’ve ever been to), you should give a try to the most Icelandic dish in existence: the Icelandic sheep head.

***

Jamaica

Ackee & Saltfish, a typical Jamaican breakfast. What may seem to you like scrambled eggs is actually the Ackee fruit.

***

Slovakia

I don’t exactly remember what it was, but I had it in a traditional restaurant in the Tatra Mountains, Slovakia.

***

Norway

Deer medallions in gravy with cranberry jam, roasted potatoes and vegetables on the side.

***

Portugal

This is Portuguese egg tart pastries called Pastel de Nata. Delicious! You’ll also find them in other countries with Portuguese influence.

***

Spain

Pork tenderloin medallions. Normally I hate the flavour of Pork, but that was one of the few times where I actually enjoyed it.

***

Belgium

Horse steak! Don’t know if it was the way they cooked it, or horses generally, but the meat was quite tough.

***

Czech Republic

This is a traditional Czech dish made of meat filled with egg, pickled cucumber, and more meat.

***

Austria

Viennese Schnitzel, the most renown Austrian type of food in the world. I was there last summer, and had one every day. Delicious.

***

Guatemala

I don’t exactly remember what there was in that soup. But I do remember that I was feeling sick, and that a Guatemalan girl thought that it was gonna make me feel better, so she made it.

***

Lithuania

Honestly no idea what it is. Had it on the border between Russia and Lithuania (Curonian Spit National Park, near Kaliningrad). Wasn’t very good!

***

Russia

And this one’s on the Russian side ;) Just a normal meat stew appetizer.

Notice: As you may have noticed, some of these foods aren’t very healthy. They surely don’t fit the dietary recommendations on this website. But personally, as I said in Destination Poon, I usually allow myself a few of the local dishes when I visit a new country. For the sake of the experience & the joy of life.

There are lots of foods from around the world I probably never tried, so feel free to add them in the comments if you’d like to share your experiences. And make sure you follow me on Instagram if you’d like to get constantly bombarded with photos of delicious, exotic foods from around the world. Bon appétit!

P.S – if you haven’t already, make sure you read my minimalist travel gear guide. It’s what allows me to move so freely from one country to the next and enjoy all those great foods.

By the way, if you want to learn how to cook and spice foods to resemble different tastes and regions around the world, I highly recommend the 4 Hour Chef. Get it on Hardcover rather than Kindle, it’s full of full-page, beautiful photography.
