A recent survey has shown that we are a nation of flying foodies.
Not only is “good local food and restaurants” cited as the top priority when it comes to choosing a holiday destination (above beaches, nightlife, sightseeing and shopping), but almost a third of us have travelled to a destination with the primary intention to try a specific dish or eat in a certain restaurant.
And for many of those surveyed, specific dishes include some weird and wonderful local delicacies such as:
1. Sea urchins and jelly fish
2. Hens’ feet
3. Sheep eyes
4. Rattle snake
5. Curried fruit bat
6. Various insects including spiced grasshopper, roasted cockroach, crickets, deep fried bees, scorpions, termites, honey ants, lemon ants, spider legs, worms, deep fried locust and beetle ice cream
7. Bull testicles
8. Beer cheese
9. Tripe pizza
10. Rotten shark
11. Camel stew
12. Thousand year egg
13. Mice
14. Cactus
15. Seagull
16. Toad porridge
17. Peanut soup
18. Marinated duck tongue
19. Polish charcoal soup
20. Fermented herring (surstromming)
With this appetite to eat where and what locals eat (three quarters of those surveyed by Skyscanner prefer to dine in restaurants that are off the beaten track), it stands to reason that more than half of these flying foodies want food and restaurant recommendations to come from locals, rather than from other tourists or guidebooks. To meet this demand, Skyscanner is launching its locals’ guide to food and travel - www.skyscanner.net/news/inspiration/the-locals-food-and-travel-guide.
