What’s your greatest ever food experience? What’s the food trip you’ve been longing to take?
Travel company Lonely Planet has compiled a list of the 500 best food experiences in the world, as suggested by chefs, food writers and its own staff, if you’re seeking some inspiration for the latter.
The Ultimate Eat List, also a book, is a collection of the world’s best culinary experiences, taking in some of the globes’s most revered food cultures.
Topping the list is pintxo-eating in San Sebastián in the Basque Country, followed by curry laksa in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and sushi in Tokyo, Japan. Also in the top 20 are pizza margherita in Naples, Italy, beef brisket in Texas, and ceviche in Lima, Peru.
Okay so it’s a very broad list, and doesn’t go in to too much detail, but you’re sure to recognise some of your favourite food experiences on this list.
