Part of the fun of travel is eating new foods. But why restrict yourself to only eating these fabulous dishes while on vacation? If you're impressed with the food during a trip, buy a local cookbook and a few area-specific ingredients.

When you get home, recreate your favorite dishes there. If you're feeling like a party, invite your neighbors over and feed them, too. When they're devouring your delicious meal, they may even be interested in hearing about your fantastic experience.
