Our happiest moments as tourists always seem to come when we stumble upon one thing while in pursuit of something else.

Grilled sausages in Jiufen, Taiwan
With American Thanksgiving over and the official start of holiday eating just beginning, I’ve been thinking a lot about food. Food can be associated with some of our most cherished situations, places, people, and memories. It is definitely an important part of my memories when I travel.  I love exploring a city, discovering its culture and also trying its cuisine.  Then of course I have to photograph everything so I remember (yes even here, I love taking pictures of food and delaying my husband’s meal while I do so, hehe.)
I love looking back at these photographs and remembering the people I was with and the defining characteristics of that place.
Do any foods bring up a favorite travel memory for you?
Have a lovely week!
Ooh, thanks for this foodie photo journey! I love all the travel memories associated with food (also you’re wavelengthing scarily with me, am writing a post on a food memory now! But not travel :)) I couldn’t agree more that exploring a new culture/place through its cuisine is one of the best approaches 🙂
Hope you had a lovely weekend!
I love taking photos of food as well! That Indian food looks so yummy – the rice is so vibrant.
Mmmm, I just keep thinking about the amazingly hot wings that I had in Jamaica and the amazing key lime pie in the Florida Keys.
That looks delicious I love the worker next to the sausage she has personality!
This is ridiculous but “dirty dogs” as my hubs calls them…a.k.a. street vendor hot dogs…always make me think of my NYC travels!
Tropical drinks always remind me of our honeymoon in Hawaii. I so need to get back there again soon!
Yummy post, darling!
My fondest food memory is of lobster in Maine!

The sense of food brings you right back to times and memories.
The first picture reminded me about all the Laksa soups I ate while living in Singapore. Ah! They have great food stands there and open all night long. Miss them!
By the way I am following you now, thought I was doing that already…::::)
