If you’re lucky enough to be planning a trip to Rome, then you need to start deciding which of the city’s iconic dishes you’re going to try. In Italy’s capital there’s simply so much delicious food on offer, it’s sometimes necessary to narrow your options down to a few distinctly delicious choices. Check out three traditional Roman dishes which you won’t regret adding to your itinerary.

Fried Artichokes

In the Jewish quarter of Rome you will find many trattorias offering this special dish. A deceptively simple offering of deep fried artichokes, often served with a simple sauce or mayonnaise, these make for a truly stunning starter or side dish and are an authentic taste of Rome.

Cacio e Pepe

This famously simple pasta dish, consisting of just four ingredients (pasta, pepper, parmesan and butter) makes for a stunning lunch or an indulgent dinner. Despite its simple ingredients, the flavors of this dish are rich and intense, and it is a meal best enjoyed with a fresh green salad on the side to balance the pasta.

Roman Pizza

Pizza in Rome is truly special. You can expect to find pizza with very thin crusts, topped with a staggering array of ingredients. Cured ham, roasted vegetables, chickpeas, figs and pickled garlic are just some of the toppings you might find adorning a slice from a Roman pizzeria. Try as many as you can to really savor the Roman pizza experience.

The country of Scotland has a rich and distinguished history when it comes to culinary creations. Traditional dishes make use of the foods and resources available, whether that’s fresh fish from the coast or oats grown inland. If you’re heading to Glasgow, Scotland’s second city, then here are three delicious and unique dishes which you need to try.

Oatcakes

These simple snacks are brilliant paired with cheese and chutney, or you can enjoy them plain. While oatcakes are available to buy in stores right across the UK, the range in Scotland is better than anywhere else. Tuck into some as a mid-morning snack to fuel you through your sightseeing in Glasgow.

Haggis

Love it or loathe it, haggis is the national dish of Scotland and so can’t be avoided on a trip to Glasgow. Luckily, there are now plenty of vegan, gluten-free and vegetarian options available, so if you’re curious about the taste of haggis but don’t fancy the original, you should be able to source a version to suit you.

Morning Roll

A morning roll is a simple snack, consisting of a soft white bread roll filled with meat, eggs or cheese – or a combination of all three! These filling and tasty rolls can be picked up from many cafes and takeaways across Glasgow, and are often incredibly cheap—an ideal option if you need a hearty breakfast or lunch on the go.

Are you planning a trip to Germany’s capital city, Berlin? If so, you definitely need to check out these delicious and distinctive dishes that you should try during your vacation. German cuisine is known for its unique, hearty foods, and the specialities in Berlin are no different!

Pretzels

Germany is the home of pretzels, so where better to try one than its capital? Head to any bakery (earlier is better, as these can sell out fast!) to purchase a soft, salty pretzel. You can often buy these filled with options such as cream cheese or ham, but they’re great enjoyed plain, too.

Kartoffelpuffer (Potato Pancake)

These fantastic little snacks will be available from many cafes and restaurants across Berlin. A simple dish of fried grated potato, you can get these with a side of apple sauce, or topped with eggs if you’re feeling hungrier.

Currywurst

This German classic is worth trying at least once. A traditional sausage is coated in a mild, flavorful curry sauce, to create this unique and distinctive dish. It may not be to everyone’s taste, but if you like it then it makes a great option for a quick lunch stop.

You’ve touched down in a new city and it’s time to explore. Historical sites and tourist attractions will most likely form part of your itinerary, but if you ask us, the most important element is where to eat! With so many choices and so little time, you want to make sure that you’re getting the most flavor for your tastebuds.

Go Local

No one knows the city better than the people who actually live in it. Strike up a conversation with someone and ask where are their best places to eat. It’s a brilliant way to discover hidden gems and holes in the wall. You can also ask taxi drivers, shopkeepers, and hotel staff for their recommendations.

Foodies at Your Fingertips

Social media is filled with foodies, just like you and I, who love to get lost in a city’s culinary scene. Spend some time scrolling through Instagram or look up a few food blogs related to the place you’re in. The  best thing is that they are often accompanied by photos, so you can eat with your eyes first. 

Trust Your Gut

You can take a million recommendations from people, but at the end of the day, your own stomach knows best. Take a stroll and see if the menu at a particular spot gets you excited, or the aroma from the kitchen makes your mouth start to water.
