SAGE 2020: Fan Games

I’d hoped to have this article out a little bit sooner, but I overestimated how long it would take to write about some of these games. Whoops! Like I said when I outlined the posting “schedule” on the first day, we’re playing it fast and loose, so this is just what you get.

Today is the day I talk about fan games! And even though SAGE has “Sonic” right there in the acronym, it’s always hosted fan games from all types, so today we’ve got Mega Man, Mario, Rayman, and even fan games of fan games, if you can believe it.

Sonic Pinball Panic!

Pinball is one of those things where I’ve always been obsessed with it, but never very good at it. And now, with access to digital pinball collections like Pinball Arcade and Pinball FX, I don’t actually find myself playing as much pinball as I thought I would when I was 14 years old. Still, I find myself fascinated by a good pinball table, and this honestly caught me off guard. This could very easily be an official DLC release for one of those aforementioned pinball collections and I wouldn’t even bat an eyelash (in fact, if you ask me, this is better than Pinball FX, which has always had weird ball physics). This looks, sounds, and functions exactly like a real pinball table should. My complaints are minor: for starters, the table feels kind of easy. I’ve never been a pinball wizard, but I was losing balls left and right here and it still took a good 15 minutes before I finally got a game over. Score accumulation is also pretty slow; most pinball tables will dump millions and millions of points on you, but here, it felt like a struggle just to reach the 379k I finished with. Both contribute to the fact that the table feels a little flat, like it’s missing a spark to really put it over the top. And, third, it would be nice if it had controller support. The keyboard works just fine, here (it’s just pinball, after all) but I find that the triggers on a controller feel really good with pinball flippers, and mapping the plunger to the right stick is great, too. This is a Unity game, so I wouldn’t think it’d be that hard to hook it up to the controller mapper. Still, I came away impressed.

Mega Man: Perfect Blue

There are two things out there that always give me pause: fan-made Doom level packs, and Mega Man fan games. Fan made gaming content generally has problems when it comes to difficulty balancing anyway, but these games have earned a certain reputation for their difficulty, which creates a problem when you have content made by fans, for fans. This insularity means these things are usually way too hard for what I would consider “normal” people (read: casual fans and outsiders). Add on to the fact that I’d even say that there are official Mega Man games with bad difficulty balancing, and you have a recipe for frustration. Sadly, this is how I’d characterize Perfect Blue: though this introductory level isn’t impossibly hard, it’s definitely pushing that edge where it’s not very accommodating to someone who hasn’t played and finished every Classic Mega Man game ever made. It almost immediately throws you into scenarios where you have jumps you can barely reach, insta-kill spikes, and enemies that not only actively dodge your shots, but invincible enemies that launch counter attack homing missiles. And then it starts making you juggle all of this stuff, together, at the same time. None of this is insurmountable as long as you’re paying attention, but as a very casual Mega Man fan, it’s an unfriendly first impression and makes me worried about what the rest of the game is going to be like as the challenge naturally ramps up. For those hardcore Mega Man fans among you, the rest of this is solid, at least. The presentation and controls are excellent, and the new sprites are beautiful. It’s a game I’d love to enjoy when it’s done… but I’m assuming I’ll be left out in the cold. A shame, really, because there’s so much promise here.

Sonic and the Mayhem Master

There’s a lot to like about this game, but there’s a part of me that really wonders if this should even be considered a Sonic fan game. Mayhem Master’s depictions of Sonic and Amy Rose are atypical to put it mildly. Here, Sonic seems to be a bookish nerd of sorts, a sidekick to Amy Rose, who has been turned into a burnt out, cigar-smoking detective. Most of the game plays out as half an adventure game, half an RPG, where you roam around the world talking to NPCs and gather clues while being assaulted by random battles. The battle system is super off-the-wall, too, perhaps taking inspirations from games like Mario & Luigi and Undertale. This means that battles aren’t passive -- you spend most of each fight dodging or nullifying incoming attacks with simplistic action-based commands. It’s weird, and different, and occasionally even a little bit overwhelming. That’s kind of the whole game, really. It’s the sort of thing that really doesn’t feel like a Sonic game at all, but it also doesn’t feel bad. The artwork is very charming, I’m interested in seeing the characters develop, and there’s plenty of worldbuilding and mystery. Would this still be as intriguing if you removed the Sonic connection, even if it’s so threadbare? That’s a hard question to answer. I know that some of my interest in this game is seeing how it spins more familiar Sonic elements into something that’s completely different. Worth checking out, for curiosity’s sake if nothing else.

Sonic and the Dreamcatcher

This is a fairly brilliant little game with two unfortunate quirks. If you didn’t know, the special stages in the original Sonic the Hedgehog were inspired by an arcade game of the era called Cameltry, published by Taito in 1989. Now, Sonic’s special stages were different enough from Cameltry that it wasn’t a case of Sega outright stealing the gameplay, but there’s a clear lineage there, and it only becomes clearer when you compare the special stages in Sonic 4 Episode 1 to Cameltry (spoilers: in that game, they’re nearly identical). Dreamcatcher is also from this lineage, but is infinitely more charming than either Sonic 4 and maybe even Cameltry itself. The idea is that you must collect a specific number of blue spheres in order to reveal the Chaos Emerald, after which you have a limited amount of time to find and collect it. It’s very simple, but the presentation really sells the game’s charm. It’s just a game that looks good and sounds good, with an interesting premise executed very well. Also, you get a dedicated “& Knuckles” button to spawn infinite Knuckles to help you collect blue spheres and bash enemies. Being able to have unlimited numbers of these guys sounds like it would break the game, but once that countdown clock begins, the last thing you need is 20+ echidnas clogging up the route back to the emerald. The first quirk this game suffers from is that there’s only two levels. Parts of this have a very “game jam made in a weekend” vibe to it despite the rock-solid music, sound, and gameplay, and only having two levels contributes to that. Hopefully more are coming in the future. The other quirk? You can’t actually download this game -- it’s embedded in a webpage. I’m sure this is to make it easy to play on any platform with a web browser (phones, PCs, etc.) but I find myself greatly desiring a hard copy of this game that can live on my computer forever.

Sonic Galactic

Now here’s just a good old fashioned Sonic fan game. Though it clearly takes inspiration from Sonic Mania’s aesthetics in some places, it’s clearly doing its own thing, featuring not just the core cast of Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, but also Fang the Sniper, and even a brand new character named Tunnel the Mole. Unlike a lot of Sonic fan games at SAGE, this appears to be using something besides Clickteam Fusion, Game Maker, or Unity. Here, it’s the “Hatch Game Engine,” whatever that is. Whatever the case may be, the game runs very well and is basically indistinguishable from just playing Sonic Mania. Visuals are sharp, music’s good, the two included boss fights are surprisingly fun to fight -- everything seems to be in order. As a result, there’s not really a lot to say. This is just a good, fun game. Anything else I’d say would come off sounding like nitpicks. For example, there’s no way to set graphics options yet, so the game is stuck in 2x Windowed mode. Fang and Tunnel are cute additions, but I wonder how much utility they have as characters. Unless I missed something, Fang’s pop gun is mainly for a weak double-jump ability, and Tunnel’s ability to dig and ricochet off floors, walls and ceilings is cool, but it doesn’t have quite the universal utility of Tails’ flight or Knuckles climbing and gliding. It’ll be interesting to see how or maybe even if their abilities have a chance to grow into something special. Anyway, like I said, those are nitpicks, so try to give this a shot if you can.

Sonic Robo-Blast!

Remasters seem to be a bit of a theme this SAGE, between Sonic Triple Trouble 16-bit, Sonic 2 SMS, Sonic 1 Revisited, but this is perhaps the most surprising of them all: a loving remaster of the original Sonic Robo-Blast. SRB1 was perhaps one of the first true “landmark” fan games, given that it was basically a whole entire game that people could play. It's not a stretch to say that SRB1 probably helped kickstart the fan gaming community that still survives to this day -- I certainly owe my involvement in the community to seeing SRB1 for the first time. The problem is, as historically significant as the game might be, it’s nearly impossible to go back to nowadays -- it’s much, much too dated to be any fun. This remaster completely re-envisions SRB1 as a regular Sonic game, while also pulling in gameplay elements from Sonic Robo-Blast 2. It’s a bit of a time paradox mindwarp, but it helps give it a bit more personality than just making a bog-standard 2D Sonic. It works, aided by the fact the sprites, music and overall presentation are fantastic. The only downside is the Act 2 boss, which commits the cardinal sin of taking away player agency and making you wait around far too much. Here’s hoping this gets finished, because it’s definitely on my radar now.

Super Mario Flashback

This has been floating around for a few years now and I’m glad to see it’s finally starting to get some more substantial content as it moves towards becoming an actual game. That being said, this is also one of those games that’s kind of hard to talk about because it’s just… really polished. The art is incredible, it controls exactly like a Mario game, and there’s already a decent mixture of ideas at play in the demo. Anything else I’d say would sound like nitpicking -- like, for example, the backseat game designer in me wonders if maybe the game is prioritizing aesthetics a little too much. This is a wonderfully animated game, absolutely gorgeous, but some actions, like the butt-stomp and the wall kick, feel a bit sluggish, and I think it’s because they show off fancy animations. Even if it’s a split second, waiting for Mario to attach to a wall to kick off of it feels slow. Really, though, that’s an insignificant complaint. This demo is still well worth checking out.

Sonic Advance 4 Advanced

This game seems like a greatest-hits of Dimps best ideas, spanning the first Sonic Advance all the way to Sonic Rush. There’s just one problem: the game seems broken. Now, my desktop PC is starting to show its age. I built it four and a half years ago, and though it can handle game like Gears of War 5 on high settings at 60fps, slowly, newer games seem to be leaving it behind. That being said, I don’t think a game like Sonic Advance 4 here should be running at what appears to be half its intended speed. It also originally launched in a teeny-tiny window (we’re talking, like, smaller than a postage stamp) and even though the options menu has a toggle for full screen mode, it doesn’t want to work. Something about this game under the hood seems to be struggling very, very, VERY hard. It’s a shame, because if this actually played at the proper speed, it seems like it might actually be an alright game, if a bit complex and busy.

Sonic 2 SMS Remake

Here’s a game I was all buckled in expecting to enjoy. Like it says on the tin, this is a remake of Sonic 2 for the Master System (and Game Gear), but with wide screen visuals and huge expansions to the mechanics, roster of playable characters, and levels. On the outside it seems really impressive, and to a certain degree it is, but something about the controls feel a little off. Sonic’s heavier here than he is on the Master System, perhaps to simulate “real” Sonic physics a little more accurately, but you can also pretty much stop on a dime, and the combination of the two feels awkward. The camera also needs a lot of work, as it’s basic at best and does a poor job of letting you see what’s below (to the dev if you’re reading this: there’s actually video tutorials out there on how 2D scrolling cameras work, it might be worth looking a couple of them up). It also leans into some of the tech limitations of the Master System, like how you aren’t given any rings for boss fights (and even hiding the HUD, a move done to save on resources for the large enemy sprites). I could be picky on a bunch of other little stuff, too, like how the flight mechanics feel, but there are other games to play at SAGE and I’ve got at least two more articles to write. Needless to say, this is a solid (impressive, even) foundation but it’s missing a lot of late-stage polish to clean up the tiny little rough edges.

Rayman Redemption

I tell this story every so often, but it was about three quarters of the way through Rayman 2 on the Sega Dreamcast when it struck me, suddenly: I love this game. I was being chased by a pirate ship through some rickety bridges and even though I was dying over and over and over again, I realized I had been enjoying Rayman 2 enough that I might put it in my top ten Dreamcast games. But that was 2002, and the years haven’t been so kind to ol’ Rayman. From the strangely celebrity-infused Rayman 3, to the tragedy of Rayman 4 (eventually becoming Raving Rabbids) to the endless, careless ports of Rayman 2 to every platform under the sun, one gets the impression Ubisoft maybe didn’t know what to do with Rayman. Especially now, when most of Ubisoft’s games are some form of online live service or cookie cutter open world experience (or increasingly both). But the fans know what they want. Rayman Redemption takes the original 1995 Rayman game and lovingly gives it a fresh coat of paint. The results are akin to what Taxman and Stealth did for Sonic CD in 2011, with wide screen visuals, improved controls, touched up level design, but gameplay that still feels faithful and accurate to the original experience. Except that Sega charged money for that, and here, fans have released this for free. Ubisoft’s loss, I guess. I didn’t play Rayman 1 until well after I’d finished Rayman 2, and I’ll admit, I kind of bounced off of it back then. It felt slow, and awkward, and when the difficulty ramped up, it got very hard, very quickly. Now, admittedly, I’ve only put about 30 minutes into Redemption here, but just the addition of a run button is incredibly welcome, and the retooled level design and powerup mechanics helps the game feel way less obtuse overall. It’s just a cleaner, tighter, more accessible and more polished version of Rayman.

Stay tuned for the next article: Indie games.

One thing I love about your account is that you challenge all of what I thought being Greek meant. Like growing up, I always felt bad about myself because my skin was pale, and I was always told all Greeks have olive skin. I never liked my nose because I felt it didn’t look like what the media portrays Greek noses to look. Like even looking at my mom and papou’s noses, I just have a different one. I’ve always just been insecure, feeling like I could never look Greek enough.

Ya su! :D Big answer incoming, brace yourselves!

From your question I understand you are a Greek of diaspora and your mother was a second generation Greek immigrant. I have received plenty of messages here from Greeks of diaspora who have told me “I am pale/I have blue eyes/I am blond and I don’t feel like a Greek!” Really, I should make a tag! It’s so strange how foreigners make us feel like we don’t belong in our own ethnicity! North Europeans and Americans make even us, who live in Greece feel like our heritage doesn’t belong to us! “You can’t possibly be the same!” they say. No, we are not the same. However we come from a long continuous line of people who tought the Greek heritage to their children for centuries. We speak the same language, we have many same traditions, we get inspired by the same nature. The antiquity doesn’t exist in a vacuum and it never stopped being a part of us.

That’s why I encourage proper representation of Greeks, especially on American media, so false images stop being circulating. It’s not exactly racist what’s happening but it has resulted in many Greeks straight up being told “you don’t even look Greek, why you speak on Greek issues?” That enrages me EVERY.FUCKING.TIME.

Because to tell you the truth, Greeks couldn’t be further from the stereotype “dark olive skin with curly black hair”! The majority, especially in the north, is pale, many times with big weird ass noses. 99% of us look white with the first guess. Of course there are some occasions where the stereotype is true (I don’t pretend there are no darker Greeks!) but those are rare. An American friend once saw a documentary about modern Athens and she was very surprised about how white we looked and asked herself “is this Germany??”

Even in the ancient art all over Greece we see pale/white people all over the place. I have been to museums all over the country and always seen them (where the colors are preserved) and I have posted some in my tag #ancient greek art as well. The Americans go “oh, those are fake because Greeks idolized white skin”. Sure, Jan, all Greeks all over the country made art with Caucasian white people because they were all in a secret white supremacy pact. Of course figures are beautified sometimes but it’s crazy to assume Greeks did everything in their power not to depict their own people accurately. I have this post (link) where I discuss that ancient Greeks weren’t that different from us today, with sources of studies showing our DNA hasn’t changed much. It’s to debunk the “ancient Greeks were darker than the modern ones”, which is used to depict our ancient gods and people very dark in modern art.

Foreigners also focus on the mixes with other people Greeks had in order to justify how we are dark. “But they are close to Africa sooo...” No. This argument doesn’t make much sense and people who use it know jack shit about our history and demographics and don’t have any common sense. It’s true though that mixes have played a part in our history and our appearance so it’s good to speak about those.

Greeks in the North (Athens and up) have mostly been mixing with Slavs and Germanic people because it’s easier for us to go to each other’s country by foot, and we just are close to each other. Plus, the history of the Balkans is very interesting and full of mixes and immigration! We also have mixed (I don’t know to what extent) with the Turks, who are Mongolic in nature and come north of Greece as well.

People from the Peloponnise can be darker but still they look hella white (as I was told by Peloponnisian friends and as I have noticed myself). People in the south islands are more likely to have some Arab DNA but generally no one has observed that they look different than the rest of Greeks. (I haven’t seen it or heard it ever in my life. Other Greeks, correct me if I am wrong). You can’t tell which person comes from just by looking at them.

Your struggle is understandable and I would like to give some suggestions to overcome it and be more comfortable in your own heritage. Perhaps you do some of these things anyway but there is no harm in listing them!

1) Search historically important Greeks and see their portraits. Seriously, do it! You may find yourself looking a little bit like them. You will surely have one thing common with them since they are usually pale :P Sometimes they may have non Greek names (Karlota, Suzanna, Emilia) but it was a trend for the rich families of the 19th century to give such names to children. I mean if you find a non-Greek name investigate if they are Greek or not because they actually might be. In my tag #Greek people you will find photos and portraits of Greeks from old times!

2) Read the history of Greece. All of it, not just from 300 BC to 100 AC as most foreigners do. Preferably, find works that have someone Greek as a writer or supervisor (because Greeks usually try to depict accuratelly what happened), or writers who truly feel Greece, like Richard Clogg. Read about Greek old allies and old enemies, about who we trade with, about where we immigrated, where we went to study to see what are the most likely mixes. Obviously, every kind of mix can happen but for numbers that matter you got to know the historical trends. It’s gonna be a journey that will help you feel your Greek side more and have answers ready when someone claims you don’t look Greek.

3) Learn more Greek. The Greek language is logical but also stupid and funny, expressing the spirit of the people who made it. Learning Greek means learning how Greeks think. We have 20+ weird phrases to playfully say someone is gay, like “he flogs the dolphin”, “he shakes the pear tree” etc. We have phrases that stem from war and pirate raids and... hating the Turks, our colonizers :P We have many Mediterranean expressions like calling a mole “olive” or saying “I am in an open sea” (”πελάγωσα”) when we feel lost, or saying “he pressed my oil out” when someone tires us. I am very passionate about Greek so you can message me any time with any question about it!

4) Learn where your family comes from. I mean the exact place/town, the geographical compartment. Learn the specific dances and traditional costume of that area from youtube videos or a Greek community in your area! See if the people in your area were great warriors, great merchants, great wine producers. See if there are any Greek heroes of the 1821 revolution coming from your place! Learn the song “Πώς το τρίβουν το πιπέρι” and the weird ass dance that comes with it, which Greek archeologists didn’t even hesitate to dance in a Mycenaic tomb!

5) Meet more Greeks! Through groups on insta or fb, through Tumblr blogs etc. Watch youtubers of Greek diaspora as “Greek in Town” or the comedian Basile! Maybe there is one Greek community near you area and you can pay a visit for festivals!

6) Cook Greek food. If your grandparents and mum know recipes, take them as if they are gold. It’s a great way to get familiar with the local Greek ingredients and the Greek palette. Replace your soul with feta if you can xD

7) Read Greek modern literature, even translated. Elitis, Sahtouris, Seferis, Venezis, Papadiamantis, Mirivilis, Delta, Empirikos, Zei, Kazantzakis are only a few of the literary gems Greeks have to offer. Enjoy good writing, the Greek perspective, and get to know the newer Greek society in a unique and authentic way. Here is a list with more of them (link).

8) Be proud. Be proud of a people who endured earthquakes, wars, genocide, famine, occypation, slaughters and slavery and can still stand. In every anniversary of ww1, ww2 and grecoturkic war, in our schools we sing prideful songs and hang posters with our war heroes, always standing proud. The students and the army parade in the streets, the small childrean wearing traditional costumes. Being proud is one key element of being Greek.

Of course I don’t mean in a nationalistic/facist tone! We also celebrate the fall of the Greek junta of 1967 - which was financed by the US - and we are proud for it! And we fought German nazis. So no such ideology is welcome. Because we have so many things to be proud of (such long history!) foreigners equate our pride with nationalism. That is not the case for a healthy Greek mind who knows Greek history.

Ok, that’s all! Thank you for making it this far and reading what I had to say! I wish you a great cultural journey and I remind you that my DMs and Asks are open if you ever need anything!

Rick Bayless' Creamy Zucchini, Corn and Roasted Poblano Tacos-Famous Fridays

Ugh, living in the Northeast, with all the dingy wet weather we’ve been having, we definitely need some brightening up and the sunny, spicy flavors of Mexico might just do the trick. Especially if they come courtesy of Rick Bayless, the long hailed guru of traditional Mexican fare who's been bringing his take on south of the border cooking to the American cooking scene for the past 40 some-odd years. Today I’m sharing a staple from his latest cookbook, More Mexican Everyday: Creamy Zucchini, Corn and Roasted Poblano filling for soft tacos. I guarantee that every bite will lift your spirits...and give you something to do while you're stuck inside 'cause of the rain!

If Mexican food makes you happy and you want to learn to cook it at home, without a lot of fancy ingredients or techniques or special gadgets, you've really got to jump on the Rick Bayless bandwagon, or should I say carro?!! Rick knows pretty much everything there is to know about salsas, enchiladas,mole, tacos, refried beans--name a Mexican favorite and he's sure to have a perfected recipe for it. You may know him from his PBS series Mexico: One Plate At A Time. In addition, he's won tons of culinary awards, been a Top Chef champion and is the author of 9 cookbooks to date--all with a focus on simple, clean and seasonal Mexican cooking. This latest book, More Mexican Everyday, is extremely home-cook friendly and teaches you the basics and beyond of Mexican cooking so that you can be confident in the kitchen. The book is full of clear, precise directions with little tips and substitution suggestions and lots of glossy color photos that make you want to throw a big fiesta. There's one section in the book--"Recipes To Learn By Heart", that I especially love because the recipes are ones that you can incorporate into your everyday life, so eating Mexican doesn't have to be just for weekends or special events.

These vegetarian tacos are from that section--in fact, they're the very first entry (which I took as a good sign due to my theory that writers are always going to lead with their strong suit) and once again, my theory stood strong. I'll admit that they're not the prettiest looking food, but they are so, so tasty. And fun! And unique without being too out there or spicy for those of us with less than adventurous palettes (ok, I mean me). You start by by making a roasted poblano cream aka, crema poblana, that is the basis not only for these tacos but for other recipes in the book as well. The most time consuming part is roasting the poblanos which you can either do over an open flame or in the oven under the broiler. Once that's done and you've let them cool, rubbed off the skins and removed the seeds, you simply slice them into strips and combine them with sautéed onions, garlic, spices and some sort of cream (I used créme fraiche) so that you wind up with an irresistible creamy, saucy mixture that's got just the right balance of heat and mellowness. Yum!!

Next you combine that sauce with crunchy sautéed zucchini and corn and pile it onto a warmed tortilla, although I'd be happy to skip the tortilla and just eat this by the forkful! Usually I would put shredded cheese on a taco, but with this creamy version, I really didn't feel the need for any. I did feel the need to eat two of these for dinner and another one for lunch the next day!!

Can't wait to do some more cooking from this book. I've got my eye on the tomatillo sauce that's the basis for some cheese and bean enchiladas--will definitely post if they turn out as good as the picture in the book looks. Meanwhile, have a terrific weekend wherever you are, cook up something delicious to share with someone you love and I'll see you next week with some more goodies and gab as we slog our way through May (at least we won't be having a draught here any time soon!!)

Rick Bayless' Creamy Zucchini, Corn and Roasted Poblano Tacos-Famous Fridays

Makes about 4 cups of filling which is enough for at least 12 tacos

Prep Time for Roasting Peppers: 20 minutes; Prep Time for sauce: 20 minutes

Ingredients

For the Roasted Poblano Cream

4 fresh poblano chiles

2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil

1 large white onion, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices

2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, preferably Mexican (I didn't use this because I don't like oregano)

3/4 cup créme fraiche, Mexican crema or heavy cream

1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Tacos

1 tablespoon vegetable or olive oil

4 medium zucchini (about a pound) cut into small cubes

1 cup fresh or frozen corn

2 tablespoons créme fraiche, Mexican crema or heavy cream

1/4 cup chopped cilantro or parsley (optional)

Flour or corn tortillas

The Recipe

1. To make the Roasted Poblano Cream: first you need to roast the peppers. If you have a gas flame, you can roast them directly over high heat, turning them with tongs so that they blister and blacken. If not, you can you can turn on the broiler and place the chiles on a baking sheet on a rack as close as possible to the flame, letting them cook for about 5 minutes and then turning them and letting them char and blister on the other side. In either case, once they are done, place the chiles in a bowl and cover with a kitchen towel or some plastic wrap to trap the heat so that it will be easy to rub off the charred skins. When cool enough to handle, rub as much of the skins off as possible, remove the seed pod and stem and rinse the peeled, seeded chiles briefly under cold water. Dry well with paper towels and slice into 1/4-inch thick strips.

2. Heat the 2 tablespoons of oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat and when very hot, add the onions and cook, stirring often, until the onion is browned and a bit crunchy, about 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and oregano (if using) for about 1 minute. Then stir in chile strips and créme fraiche and allow to cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly, so that the mixture thickens and coats all of the chiles but doesn't burn. Taste and add the salt, stirring well. Remove from the heat. (The sauce can be made at least one day ahead and stored in an airtight container in the fridge.)

3. To make the tacos: In a separate large skillet, heat the 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high and when very hot, add the zucchini and stir frequently, cooking until pieces are nicely browned. Add the corn and cook for a couple of minutes until they are browned too. Then add back in the roasted poblano cream, along with the cilantro or parsley. Turn the heat down to medium and let the mixture simmer a bit. Then add in the 2 tablespoons créme fraiche and stir well. Taste and add salt if needed.

4. Warm tortillas in the microwave, oven or toast them slightly in a dry skillet for a minute or two per side. Top tortillas with a generous scoop of the warm mixture and serve.

Enjoy!

10 Best Countries For Food: A Travel Guide for Foodies

As foodies, finding the countries with the best food has been our mission for the past 12 years. Ever since we landed in Bangkok and had our first spicy Thai curry and pad Thai on the street, we were hooked. Since then, we’ve spent our time travelling searching for the best countries for food.

We’ve eaten at Michelin-starred restaurants and from the back of food trucks. We’ve met chefs and street food vendors. We’ve taken food tours in pretty much every country we’ve visited and we’ve formed an obsession with food.

While we’re on the road, we’re always waiting for our next meal. Sometimes, when we’re travelling in a country with one of the best cuisines in the world, we wish that we would never get full so we could keep sampling the incredible dishes!

Food has long been one of the best ways to understand the culture. The dinner table is where customs are born. Where friends, families and lovers meet to create memories. Many religions revolve around food, with the Gods appreciating food offerings.

Food is the best way to truly glimpse a nation’s soul and having the opportunity to eat with local people and share their cuisine is a very personal and honourable experience.

If you’re like us and you love to travel and eat, then you’ll love this post. I’ve put together our top 10 countries for food, as well as our favourite dishes from each so that you can plan your foodie travels in 2020.

Here it goes, the 10 best countries for food!

India

Just thinking about the aromas of a spicy Indian curry gets my mouth watering. Pair that with the incredible variety of bread and ancient cooking methods and you have one of the most mouthwatering cuisines on the planet.

India easily makes this list of the countries with the best food because it’s easily one of the most internationally eaten and best cuisines in the world.

Few other ethnic foods have infiltrated the prized spot of a national dish, but the Chicken Tikka Masala (although not strictly Indian) has found that honour in England. But there’s much more to Indian cuisine than tandoori chicken and tomato-based curries.

Flaky paratha bread, fluffy pav baji buns with curry, fragrant biryanis, spicy rogan josh, crispy panipuri and a seemingly infinite array of sweets, Indian cuisine is a neverending journey into the history, culture, traditions and religion of one the most fascinating countries for travellers.

One of the best parts of Indian food is the price. If you’ve had it in your home country, you’d be forgiven for questioning this statement. In the west, Indian food can be as pricy as a steak meal, but in India, it’s not. In India, you can entire meals on the street for under 50 cents.

You can sit down for an all-you-can-eat thali for less than $1.50. You enjoy delicious fresh-squeezed lime juice and belly soothing lassis (yoghurt milkshakes) for as little as 25 cents. India is also one of the cheapest countries you can travel to.

Our Favourite Indian Dishes

I’ve already listed a few incredible Indian dishes, but many of those have been of the meat variety. I myself love a good meat dish, but in India, Dariece and I both go fully vegetarian (there are numerous vegan options as well). As a bonified omnivore, I think this speaks volumes about the quality of vegetarian Indian cuisine.

This is after all the country with the largest vegetarian population on earth and not just because they have over 1 billion people. 40% of Indians are vegetarian and if you see the vast pages of recipes on the menus at vegetarian restaurants in India, you’ll see why.

Apart from the numerous types of curries you can sample, here are some must-try dishes in India.

Masala Dosa: A crispy, flakey and addicting rice and chickpea crepe stuffed with a potato and onion curry, served with a spicy sambar and a coconut chutney, the masala dosa is our favourite South Indian dish by far.

Generally served on a large metal plate, you can usually pick one of these up for under $1 and they are filling enough to constitute a meal. They’re also fun to watch being made as the skilled cooks evenly spread the mixture over a hot circular plate.

Idli and Vada: These are actually two separate snacks typically served around breakfast time. One is a crispy chickpea doughnut (vada) while the other is an impossibly fluffy, soft steamed fermented rice cake (idli).

Both are typically served with sambal and chutney which varies regionally. Sometimes the countries with the best food also have the best breakfast food.

Malai Kofta: India’s answer to meatballs in sauce, Malai kofta is a delicious and decadent dish made of potato & paneer balls that are drenched in a smooth, rich & creamy onion and tomato gravy.

Malai means cream and kofta means balls, so the name isn’t actually that original, but the flavour is amazing. This is a common dish that you’ll find on many menus while travelling in India.

Mexico

The only cuisine in the world to be named by Unesco as an Intangible Cultural Heritage, Mexican food is as diverse as it is spicy and Mexico easily has one of the best cuisines in the world.

Much more than tacos and quesadillas, the food here varies from region to region, but it’s always delicious. Dating back over 9,000 years, this is also one of the oldest food cultures in the world.

Much of the cuisine is influenced by a melding of indigenous cultures and Spanish colonization, but also from their northerly neighbour, the United States.

In fact, food like burritos, chimichangas, taco salad, fajitas and even the famous “Mexican” cocktail, the Margarita, were all invented in the US. But Mexico doesn’t need those dishes to retain its title as one of the best countries for food.

It has rich, luxurious moles and fluffy tamales of the Yucatan, the historic “tacos al pastor” that find roots in Lebanon, and mouthwatering breakfast specialities like chilaquiles, huevos rancheros and mollettes. Travelling in Mexico is a food-lover’s dream.

From Michelin-starred chefs to world-renowned street cooks and even the old grandma at the hole in the wall restaurant that nobody knows about. Mexicans are passionate about their food and they know how to rock your tastebuds with their cuisine.

Our Favourite Mexican Dishes

I’ve already listed most of our favourites, but there are thousands of great dishes in Mexico. We’ve spent over 5 months travelling the country so far and we’re still finding new food to try every time we return. Eating is one of the best things to do in Mexico!

Ceviche: With over 9,300 kilometres of coastline, it’s no surprise that Mexican cuisine features a lot of fresh seafood. There are plenty of amazing dishes to get on the coast, but the ceviche in Mexico is phenomenal.

Small chunks of fish mixed with diced chillies and onions and sprinkled with salt and a tart blast of lime, Mexican ceviche is one of the best in the world.

Tacos El Pastor: When immigrants came to Mexico from Lebanon and Syria in the 1920s, they ended up bringing with them what is now one of Mexico’s most iconic dishes. Tacos El Pastor takes a page from the famous shwarma of the Middle East.

A giant vertical pork rotisserie crisps on the outside before being shaved into thin strips and placed on a corn tortilla with a variety of toppings. You can find Tacos El Pastor all over the country, but one of the best places is in Puerto Vallarta.

Cochinita Pibil: A Yucatan speciality consisting of pulled pork shoulder braised and marinated in an achiote paste, orange juice, and lime mixture and then traditionally cooked underground wrapped in banana leaves inside of a “pib”.

The pit-roasted final product is moist, juicy and packs all of the flavours of the other ingredients that were buried with the pork under the earth. The meat is then typically placed on… you guessed it, a corn tortilla. If you have the chance to take part in a Pib cookout as we did in the Yucatan, don’t miss it.

Italy

I’m actually writing this post from our temporary home in Rome, so it’s quite easy to bang out a few hundred words about the incredibly naughty and indulgent cuisine that is Italian.

After spending nearly 2 months in total travelling around this country and having done 6 different cooking classes/food experiences, we have a pretty good idea about the food here, but we still have so much to learn.

Italian food is so much more than pasta and pizza, although both are done better here than anywhere else in the world. Italian cuisine is all about simplicity and the quality of the ingredients.

Where a North American spaghetti recipe might have 20 ingredients (and erroneously added meatballs which Italians don’t do), the Italian equivalent likely has less than 5. This level of simplicity is what makes Italy one of the top countries for food.

What makes Italian food so fascinating is the passion that the people have for it. Italians are perhaps the most skilled at loving life and this enormous gratitude for the world around them is reflected in their food.

Simple, fresh and bursting with flavour, Italian food is one of the main reasons that people choose to travel to this country. As far as countries with the best food are concerned, Italy could battle most and win with a glass of wine in one hand.

Our Favourite Italian Dishes

Abbacchio Alla Romana: Roman-style roast lamb is one of the best examples of Italian food that’s outside of the pasta and pizza realm.

Incredibly juicy lamb braised and roasted to give it a crispy skin and a fall off the bone interior, served on a bed of potatoes and rocket that has soaked up the juices of the meat, this is probably the best Italian dish I’ve ever eaten.

Bucatini all’ Amatriciana: We first had this during a cooking class in Rome and ever since we’ve been hooked.

Bucatini is the pasta and it’s a hollow, spaghetti-like noodle made from durum wheat flour, while the Amatriciana is the sauce, which takes its spiciness from black pepper and dried chiles and its depth of flavour from guanciale (Italian salt-cured pork jowl). It’s rich, luscious and oh so delicious.

Pizza: It would be a sad trip to Italy without at least trying a pizza. It’s very different from a Chicago deep dish or a New York-style pizza, but similar to other Italian dishes when it comes to simplicity and freshness of the ingredients. Italian pizza is on a whole other level, particularly those found in the pizza capital of the world, Naples.

Bistecca Alla Fiorentina: You’ll have to go to Florence to get the Florentine Steak done right, but don’t expect the chef to ask how you want it done. There’s only one way to cook a steak in this part of Italy — rare.

The steak is typically a high cut of either veal or heifer that has been aged in a cool room for at least 2 weeks before it is cooked directly on the embers or on a grill.

This succulent dish has long been the most popular meal in Florence and it is one that even Italians will travel to the city to try. In my opinion, it’s best served with a carafe of red wine (even if you’re having it for lunch).

China

The food in China is one of the best cuisines in the world. If you’ve ever experienced the diversity and regionality of the country’s authentic dishes (Cantonese, Shandong, Jiangsu and Sichuan, to name a few), you’ll realize how far the real deal is from its North American Chinese takeaway counterpart. It’s almost unrecognizable.

China is unique in that it’s one of the best countries for food and yet, people who haven’t been there hardly know what Chinese cuisine really is.

Anyone who has been to China will quickly notice that there’s a complete lack of chow mein, sweet and sour pork and fortune cookies. These were all adaptations made by Chinese chefs in foreign countries to make their dishes more palatable for western tastes.

While this was a genius business decision, it was detrimental to the West’s understanding of how amazing Chinese food can be.

While not all Chinese food will be to your taste (even the most adventurous travellers might still steer clear of giant centipedes on a stick or thousand-year-old eggs), there are plenty of amazing dishes to try in this incredibly fascinating country.

Our Favourite Chinese Dishes

Guo Bao Rou: I realize there’s irony in me saying that the Western-version of Chinese food is unauthentic and then listing Dong Bei’s regional “sweet and sour pork” as my first dish in China, but it’s so much different than its American counterpart, believe me!

This is a much more delicate and sophisticated version of the dish. It has a light, crispy batter coating a soft, yet toothsome twice-cooked pork modestly drizzled with a sweet honey and ginger sauce and served with a sprinkling of green onion on top. In the year we spent living in China, I probably had this dish more than 50 times.

Sichuan Hot Pot: More a cooking method rather than an actual dish, having a hot pot in the Sichuan province of China is an experience in itself. The piping hot broth is kept simmering in the center of the table while raw ingredients like thinly sliced meat, leaf vegetables, mushrooms, vermicelli, potatoes, egg dumplings, tofu and seafood are dunked into the soup to cook.

The cooked items of the hot pot are then typically dipped in an additional spicy sauce for added flavour.

Soup Dumplings: These are without a doubt our favourite Chinese finger food and when we go to a soup dumpling restaurant, whether in China or in a foreign country, we always eat them until we’re so full that we can barely stand up.

That’s just how delicious they are! Called Xiaolongbao, these dumplings are from the Jiangsu province of China (where we lived) and are usually filled with pork.

A cube of gelatinized fat and broth is added inside the rolled dumpling so that when it is steamed the gelatin melts and turns into soup with the pork inside. I don’t think I need to say more. Delicious!

Liangpi Noodle: This cold noodle dish hails from the Shaanxi Province, but is found all over western and northwestern China. We enjoyed this dish many times in Yangzhou, where we lived when we were teaching English for a year.

You’ll usually find it as a street food meal and it’s excellent for hot days. Liangpi literally means “cold skin” and is doused in delicious chilli and sesame oil sauce and topped with thinly sliced cucumbers, sesame seeds, coriander and fresh chilli.

Thailand

Since our first backpacking trip in 2008, we’ve been hooked on Thai food. It’s light, healthy, spicy, salty, sweet and incredibly delicious.

Unfortunately, when travelling around Thailand, much of the food has been diluted by an influx of tourism and western tastes. On the islands, in particular, it’s hard to find a real authentic Thai meal. They remove the spice and with it goes the soul of the dish.

In Bangkok however, it’s easy to find amazing Thai food. Head to restaurants like Northeast in Baan Nual or in local markets like Khlong Toei or Wang Lang and see what authentic cheap Thai food tastes like.

Or step the budget up a bit and see what the evolution of modern Thai cuisine has created at one of the 176+ Michelin-starred restaurants in the city.

Thai food, when done right, is easily one of the most satisfying cuisines on this list and Thailand itself is definitely one of the best countries for food in my opinion.

Our Favourite Thai Dishes

Thai food has quickly become one of the most popular international cuisines and you can find a Thai restaurant in pretty much every country, so it’s not surprising that some of our favourite dishes are the most well-known. When visiting Thailand, eating is one of the top things to do…enjoy!

Pad Thai: Okay, I couldn’t’ help it. Pad Thai exemplifies the true core of what makes Thai cuisine so amazing. Salty, sweet, spicy and sour, it has all the tastes covered. With bean sprouts, peanuts, chives and lime squeezed on top, it’s easy to see why this is Thailand’s most famous dish.

You can get it with tofu on the street for under $1, or you can have it with prawns and chicken in a fancy restaurant for upwards of $10. No matter what, if this dish is prepared properly and ticks all of the flavour boxes, it will knock your socks off.

Massaman Curry: This rich, but surprisingly mild south Thai curry actually finds its roots in Thailand’s Muslim community. Today you can find the dish all over the country and it’s definitely one of the most filling meals you can have in Thailand.

Typically made with chicken and potato, it’s as much a hearty stew as it is a curry. The subtle flavours of cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, star anise, cumin, bay leaves, nutmeg and mace, give the dish a unique, distinctively un-Thai flavour that is refreshing when travelling around the country eating nothing but Thai food for weeks on end.

Tom Yum Goong: This spicy Thai soup with shrimp is another classic. Pretty much everyone knows about Tom Yum soup, but to have a properly prepared bowl of it in Thailand is a spiritual experience in itself.

I’m not much of a soup guy normally, but give me a steaming bowl of Tom Yum with shrimp set in a spicy broth of tomatoes, lemongrass, galangal, chillies, kaffir lime leaves and onions and I’m set.

This is one of Thailand’s best dishes and again takes advantage of combining spicy, sweet, salty and sour flavours to create something magical.

Greece

Mediterranean food, in general, is easily one of the best cuisines in the world, but the Greeks do it best I think. From the amazing array of seafood meals to the Middle Eastern-inspired dishes like Gyros, Greek food is a culinary culmination of its neighbours and by mixing and melding the cultures, cuisines and ingredients, Greece has somehow come out on top.

Bright citruses, world-class olives and olive oils, fresh fish, fantastic bread and a seemingly endless list of herbs has given Greece a historical leg up on many other cuisines around the world. Considering the food has a history of over 4,000 years, it’s no surprise that they’ve completely perfected many of their dishes.

If you’ve ever travelled in Greece, you’ll know that you won’t go hungry. Even if you’re here on a budget, it seems that Greek chefs won’t let you leave a restaurant after only finishing the main course.

If you don’t order an appetizer and dessert, they’ll probably give you one for free. They are as passionate about their food as the Italians and are feeders, so get ready to eat.

Greek people are also amongst the most hospitable that we’ve met in our travels and their social life seems to revolve around food. If you have a chance to join a family lunch or dinner with a group of Greek friends, don’t miss it.

Free pouring wine, heaping portions of food, laughter and good chats are what travelling in Greece is all about.

Our Favourite Greek Dishes

After travelling in Greece for nearly 2 months in total, we’ve completely fallen in love with the country, for its people, its cuisine, its culture, its history and its architecture. There are so many amazing places to visit, and dishes to try.

We’ve had the opportunity to have a few meals with friends and families in Greece and they’ve remained some of our most memorable foodie experiences.

Appetizers: I know this is the first time I’ve listed a course as a favourite dish in this post, but the starters in Greece are just so varied and delicious that I couldn’t possibly list them all as separate meals.

Just make sure you don’t miss dolmades (stuffed grape leaves), tzatziki, feta cheese, bread and olive oil, greek yoghurt, Greek salad, olives, spanakopita, strapatsada, and keftedakia (Greek meatballs).

Souvlaki: I’m keeping it pretty standard here, but souvlaki is definitely one of the best dishes to try, particularly if you’re on a budget. Delicious skewers of spiced chicken, beef, pork or lamb are placed on thick, fluffy pita bread and served with a side of french fries, some tzatziki sauce and a slice of lemon.

Gyros: I had to include another Greek classic that’s easy on the budget. Gyros, like tacos al pastor in Mexico, find their roots in the Middle East and are the typical rotating shaved meat (usually pork or chicken).

In Greece, they are placed on thick pita bread and filled with tomato, onion, tzatziki sauce and oftentimes french fries.

France

Yes, we finally visited France and can now comment on French cuisine! The holy grail of cooking techniques and what all modern chefs seem to be trained in, French Cuisine has been influenced over the years by Spain, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium and Italy, but at the core, it is undeniably French.

Centuries of perfecting specific preparation methods have made this one of the most influential cuisines in the world.

It’s this iconic historical reverence that has solidified France’s position on pretty much every list of the best countries for food in the world and travelling to culinary capitals like Paris is a foodie’s dream.

While it has a reputation for being pretentious, when you’re travelling in France and even in Paris you’ll find that there are many casual French bistros that offer incredible food with generous portion sizes at affordable prices.

While the sauces, meats and vegetable preparations are enough to get anyone’s mouth-watering, don’t forget the incredible variety of cheese, bread and wine found in France!

If you’re travelling in the country, get ready to go on a foodie adventure through some of the most regional and diverse dishes found anywhere.

Our Favourite French Dishes

A few of these are dishes that sound expensive to foreigners, but we actually found them quite affordable when we were travelling in Paris.

Duck Confit: Tasting this dish in Paris actually converted Dariece to a lover of duck. In a true, traditional duck confit, every part of the duck must be used to complete the dish.

The method of cooking a proper confit is a centuries-old technique of preserving the meat through a salt curing process and then cooking it in its own fat. Unsurprisingly the end product is a crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, fall off the bone delicacy that is one of the countries finest dishes.

Beef Bourguignon: This hearty, delicious beef stew made with red wine, pearl onions, mushrooms and bacon is a total crowd-pleaser, but it’s a great meal to have on a cold evening in Paris, which is exactly when Dariece had it.

She offered me a bite and I found myself returning to her side of the table with my fork to get more and more of the delicious meal. The beef almost falls apart on the fork as you pick it up it’s so tender and the sauce is bold but layered with incredible precision.

Escargot: This is one that I haven’t been able to get Dariece to love, although she tried it in Paris and didn’t spit it out. The thought of eating snails completely turns most people off, but ever since I first had the delectable snails in pepper broth on the streets of Tangier in Morocco, I’ve been hooked.

I don’t think the French version with garlic, parsley, butter and shallot dethroned the Moroccan version, but it was definitely tasty.

Turkey

Turkish cuisine finds its roots largely in its Ottoman history which is a successful fusion of Central Asian, Middle Eastern, Balkan and Eastern European cuisines.

Compared to the countries that we’ve visited in the Middle East and Central Asia, I think that Turkey has a more diverse cuisine. We’ve tried countless dishes prepared in different ways and we still have many to taste.

Ingredients of lamb, beef, rice, fish, eggplants, green peppers, onions, garlic, lentils, beans, zucchinis and tomatoes as well as nuts like pistachios, chestnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, and walnuts are common in the cuisine. Mixing these with a dizzying array of spices give Turkish food its distinct flavour.

Breads, cheeses, olive oils and chillis are also a common element of dishes in Turkey, making it in some ways similar, but also so very different from its Greek neighbour.

Our Favourite Turkish Dishes

Turkish dishes are so regional that some meals are only found in specific cities throughout the country. This regionality of the cuisine makes it exciting to travel to different parts of Turkey to taste different food.

Cappadocian Pottery Kebab: This is still one of the most delicious and interesting dishes I’ve ever eaten while travelling. Cappadocia itself has been a mecca for pottery-making since the Hittite period starting in around 1400 BC, so it’s no surprise that the region’s most famous dish is actually cooked in a sealed clay jar.

Called testi kebab in Turkish, which literally translates to “jar” kebab, the Anatolian speciality is usually made with lamb, beef or chicken with potatoes, garlic, onions, celery and carrots all set to stew in a jar and sealed with a thick layer of bread dough.

The dish is then left to simmer in its own juices for hours before being cracked open by the lucky customer who ordered it. The resulting stew is an unbelievably satisfying, meaty, hearty meal.

Iskander Kebab: There are many different versions of kebab in Turkey, but this one is the most popular and likely my favourite. A play on the traditional Döner kebab, the Iskander Kebab hails from the Northeast of the country and consists of thinly sliced lamb smothered in hot tomato sauce over pieces of thick, soft traditional Turkish bread. On top, there is usually a generous heap of yoghurt and butter.

Pide: This affordable Turkish style flatbread is a popular snack or lunchtime meal. There are numerous types, but one of the tastiest is topped with ground meat (typically, lamb), onions, peppers, and parsley — cooked to perfection in a brick or stone oven.

Shish Kebab: The more famous style of Kebab, the shish kebab is the skewered meat that many travellers associate with the word “kebab” before travelling to Turkey. This is a classic dish loved by Turkish people and travellers alike.

Most often found with Chicken, you can also get shish kebabs with beef or lamb. Any variety will be grilled and served on a metal skewer with sides of rice, salad and french fries. You really can’t travel to Turkey without trying this. The budget-friendly ($6+) dish is on pretty much every menu in the country.

Japan

This is the only country on this list where Dariece and I disagree a bit. While she agrees that Japanese food is probably the most beautifully presented, she isn’t as in love with the flavours of Japan as I am. Regardless, there are many dishes here she loves, and there’s no doubt that Japanese food is one of the best cuisines in the world

After much deliberation, we agreed that Japan simply had to be on this list. It is, after all, one of the most beloved food cultures in the world with a history of over 2,000 years of cooking and preparation techniques.

Japanese flavour is subtle, simple, fresh and clean. Japanese culture brings food to a new level. Over meals is where business is done, where friends socialize, where teams cooperate and where bonds are built.

Japanese people thank their Gods in food-related rituals and the tradition of Japanese culinary practices has transcended generations.

Must-Try Japanese Dishes

While Japanese food is much more than sushi, sushi is basically a cuisine in itself. There are so many different varieties of rolls, nigiri and sashimi that you could eat it for months while travelling in Japan and still have much to discover.

On top of that, Japanese cuisine boasts rich ramen soups, savoury meat dishes and countless fish meals.

Sushi: I’m listing this as one must-try meal in Japan, but you should really try many different kinds of nigiri, in particular, “toro” and “o-toro” (fatty and fattier) salmon and tuna, tako (octopus), Ika (squid), uni (sea urchin) and hotate (scallops).

You won’t find Philidelphia cream cheese in rolls in Japan (which is a good thing!), but look out for kappa maki (small cucumber roll), tekkamaki (small tuna roll), as well as varieties of Gunkanmaki (nigiri wrapped in seaweed), Temaki (seaweed-wrapped rice cones), Futomaki (giant rolls with seaweed on the outside), and of course sashimi.

Ramen: You can’t go to Tokyo without eating some delicious ramen noodle soup. Going to a ramen restaurant is an experience in itself. From the busiest places in train stations that are lined up around the corner, to the tiny hole in the wall restaurants with one or two ramen cooks at the counter.

The most famous and most exciting place to get ramen is at Ramen Street in the Tokyo train station. When you arrive in Japan by plane, if you take the train into the city you’ll likely stop here anyway, so it’s definitely worth taking an hour or so to wait in line and try the award-winning ramen restaurants that line the lower level of this chaotic train station.

Okonomiyaki: I could’ve included more famous Japanese foods like Tempura, Yakatori, Katsudon or udon to this list, but Okonomiyaki is such a delicious food and the Okonomiyaki restaurants are such a great experience that I just had to add it here.

Literally translating to “grilled how you like it”, this is Japan’s answer to a savoury pancake made with flour, yam and egg. The Okonomiyaki chefs grill up the pancake and its toppings right in front of you over a massive flat griddle. The ingredients typically include squid, shrimp, beef, green onion, mochi and cheese.

Spain

Tapas, pinchos, paellas, sliced meats, delicious cheeses and some of the world’s best wine (in our opinion), Spanish cuisine is exciting, varied and as much a social experience as it is a culinary one.

Bar hopping from restaurant to restaurant to try different finger foods (tapas and pinchos) and digging into tasty Spanish plates is a large part of what makes travelling to Spain so exciting.

The cuisine itself has been influenced over the years, but in general, the cooking methods have been shaped over centuries of societies that have inhabited the Iberian Peninsula and its territories.

The geography and climate of the region have similarly defined the ingredients that make up the dishes. Together, the ingredients and cooking methods present a complex gastronomical history that has been evolving with the invasions, conquests and international trade throughout Spain’s history.

Today, the cuisine is a culmination of years of influence and change and the country seems to have perfected the art of offering a variety of food while customers enjoy a variety of wines.

In short, Spain is one of the culinary giants of Europe and travelling here is as much a culinary adventure as it is one through history and culture.

Must-Try Spanish Dishes

Pinchos: Many people already know that the word “tapas” refers to small Spanish plates, but even smaller finger-foods are the Spanish pincho, which originated in northern Spain. The word “pincho” literally means “spear or stick” which refers to the toothpick that’s poked through the dish to hold it all together.

Pinchos typically range from €1-€2.50 and there are entire restaurants and bars dedicated to them. At a pincho bar, you will order a drink, grab your own small plate and then walk up to the counter where there are often dozens of “pinchos” with different coloured toothpicks (the colours represent different prices).

You simply take what you think looks good and then when you’re ready to pay, the waiter will count the toothpicks and charge you accordingly.

Paella: This dish is originally from Valencia and some people say it comes from the Spanish words “para ella”, which literally means “for her”. This is because paella is a Spanish dish typically cooked by the men on Sundays for their women.

Similar to a gender-reversed English “Sunday roast”, paella is a meal that is meant to be shared over chats and laughter. While most Westerners only know the seafood version, the true traditional Valencia paella is actually made with rabbit, chicken and sometimes duck (no seafood).

Whatever variation you have, make sure you have it in Catalonia, the province in which it was born, or better yet in the city of Valencia itself.

Tapas: Slightly larger and more famous than pinchos, and equally delicious are the Spanish tapas. These small plates are perfect for holding you over before dinner. Spanish people eat very late, no earlier than 10 pm, so for tourists, tapas are a great way to eat some snacks while you’re waiting for dinner restaurants to open.

Tapas range from around €4 – €15 so a night of tapas isn’t always that cheap. If you’re on a budget, I recommend starting with the more filling “patatas bravas” which are fried potatoes with a barbecue sauce on top.

Enjoy Your Travels to These Countries With The Best Food

Food, culture, family and tradition are often so intrinsically linked in today’s society that travelling as a foodie is one of the best ways to get a little bit deeper into a country’s true soul.

I highly recommend joining food tours, cooking classes, tastings and wine pairings in the countries you visit to have the opportunity to learn more about the country’s cuisine and how it has shaped modern-day life.

Airbnb Experiences are a great way to join food experiences with local people. We did a chef’s dinner in Paris and a tapas tour and paella cooking class in Barcelona and we could easily recommend them all. Check reviews and make sure those hosting are local wherever possible.

As a foodie, there are so many ways to have gastronomical experiences while travelling these days and we are fortunate to have access to a world of cuisine in most of our home towns. Being open-minded and trying new things is what food culture is all about.

I listed many of the “must-try” dishes in the countries above, but these aren’t always the best. Be adventurous and try new things while you’re travelling. Don’t be afraid to taste those dishes that seem “strange” to your western pallet.

Who knows, maybe you’ll be like us and find out that you love duck heart, cassava root, fried ants and cow cheek. Open your mind while travelling. Your tastebuds and your future self will thank you for it.

Which countries with the best food did we miss?! Leave a comment below.
