If you have some stamps in your passport, one of the most interesting things is eating new foods. Not to be US centric. We have some unusual food here (maybe indigestible) too. If you have been peripatetic share your experiences.
Mine;
Spain, paella is always a reliable dish. The closer you are located to the sea coast the better the quality of the seafood ingredients are. The best tapas might the potato tortillas. Clarete wine is a pink ambrosia not frequently seen here. Worth the trip. Fried calamares good with the local beer, then a siesta.
Portugal, like Spain but cheaper
England, limited experience. Just London. British food is unremarkable but they do set a nice table. American food franchises dominate.
Mexico, No comment
Caribbean Islands, excellent seafood. Conch chowder was always delightful
Morocco, tangia and couscous will satiate your hunger but if you don't like strange food, find something else.
Holland, typical northern european quisine. In Amsterdam the distractions take your thoughts off of food.
The Philippines, balut (pickled duck embryo) best eaten while drunk, pancit bihon (noodle dish), San Miguel beer.
Japan, yaki soba, salty noodle soup, saki
Hong Kong, best resturants in the world. Fried fish balls at the ferry terminal are worth the trip alone.
Australia, baramundi (type of sea bass) and silversides (type of ham) and their beer is excellent.
Saudi Arabia, camel steak. Not good, no beer
