Travel to where one dish is actually from and eat it there
“Spending a whole day and a train fare on one plate of food sounds like a bad trade. Eating a thing where it was invented, made by people who make nothing else, is not the same meal at all.”
The Recipe
- Pick one dish with a place in its name or its story, somewhere you can reach and return from in a day.
- Leave in the morning by the slowest sensible transport, so getting there is part of it.
- Arrive hungry and eat the dish where it is from, at a plain place full of locals rather than the one that advertises.
- Ask whoever serves you what makes their version different from the ones elsewhere.
- Order whatever they say goes with it, even the drink.
- Walk off the meal through the town or the country the dish came out of.
- Buy one thing to take home that you cannot get in the city.
- Eat something small for the road and take the later train back.
