WORLDWIDE | Tuesday, 27 March 2012 | Views [130] | Scholarship Entry
When you travel, I think most of the people will taste local food. The good food always can remain the nice memory during the journey and after the journey. I still can remember the sausage I ate in Koln railway station. Sausage is a very popular street food in Germany, currywurst is the most favourite food for local German. You can buy the currywurst almost everywhere. Some research shows that German people average eats 1,500 currywurst per minutes. In August 2009, the currywurst officially move to Berlin Museum.
When talk about olive, I have to say Greece. When I mention Greece, except the beautiful view in Santorini Island, the best dish I can remembered is Greece cruise which is grilled fish and Greek salad. After that, some place offered the free desert. The shinning point of Greek salad is olive which is with stone in it. Actually I think the olive with stone is really good taste. I don’t know why people live in outside of Greece always buy the can packaged olive without stone. Moreover, I prefer Greece way deal with olive which is much more strong taste and really different to other European countries’. Santorini is very popular honeymoon place ranking within Top 10 in the world. Think about it, best seafood with nice view and right person beside you, the life is perfect.
When I visited more places, I will miss more food from them. That memory similar like when you taste a good grape from your friend, then you will always miss that, but cannot easily get it again. Travelling took me out of the life stress, brought me a new angle to look at the people and things around me. Took me to a new world and give me a nice memory which is something I can miss when I go back again to my normal life. Travel is to live. Different countries use variety and unique dish treat me and I am so appreciate it. My journey became so much fun because of delicious local food.
