What are the most unique culinary innovations you've experienced on your travels?

Ronin Bessant

Well, I have tried some pretty interesting foods on my travels! One of the most unique things I tried was in Japan. Have you ever heard of sushi? It's raw fish on top of rice. But in Japan, they have something called "kaiten-zushi" which means conveyor belt sushi. You sit at a table and different types of sushi go around on a little conveyor belt. You just have to grab the ones you want to try!

Another unique thing I tried was in Mexico. Have you heard of tacos? They're like a soft shell with meat, vegetables, and salsa inside. But in Mexico, they have something called "tacos al pastor". It's meat cooked on a big spinning stick and they shave off pieces and put it in your taco. It's really fun to watch the meat spin around while you wait for your taco!

I also had a really unique dessert in Italy. Have you ever had gelato? It's like ice cream, but creamier. But in Italy, they have something called "affogato". It's a scoop of gelato with a shot of espresso poured over it. It's like a dessert and a coffee all in one!

Overall, traveling is a great way to try new foods and experience different culinary innovations. I can't wait to see what delicious and unique foods I'll find on my next adventure!
