I think eating teaches me about my travel destination. I can learn a lot about local customs, traditions and values, (why do people eat what they do?) about local landscapes and resources (what is grown locally? how is it harvested?) and even about the history of an area (has this recipe been passed down through the generations? what makes it a favourite?) We took cooking classes in Umbria, Italy one year and another time we went on one of the Gourmet Food Walks in San Francisco. It was a terrific way to learn about the city.
