Local “everyday” foods you’ll never forget?

I’m sitting at home reminiscing about a tomato I ate 3 years ago. I’m thinking it’d be fun to plan my next few trips around trying the best “normal” foods that local cultures might consider everyday staples, because so many of these stick with me many years later.

From all of your travels, what simple foods do you still daydream about?

Bonus points if you were like me and went to the same restaurant 3 times on the same trip.

Here are some of mine:

• Blueberries and white cheddar while walking Cotswold Way
• Ripe mangos in India
• Corn tortillas and chilaquiles on Isla Holbox
• Baguette and butter in Lyon
• Fondue in the alps
• Grilled Halloumi in South Africa
• Sugarcane juice in Malawi
• Lychee in Madagascar
• Guanabana in Costa Rica
• Rum cake on Grand Cayman
• Fresh pastéis de nata in Lisbon
• The first time I was allowed to have tourist gelato on a vacation and thought it was a Canadian delicacy
