Safety is the usual choice for global travelers when faced with a menu of unknown dishes. But a great meal transcends all cultural boundaries, and sharing the food of your host country is the best way to connect with its people and culture。
对于国际旅行者来说，当看到菜单上面都是自己不知道的菜肴时，他们往往会选择自己认为安全的食物。但是美食是超越所有文化界限的，品尝当地的食物是融入当地文化以及与当地人交流的最佳方式。
阿根廷烤肉
Argentina 阿根廷
This South American nation is best known for beef and empanadas1, but there’s so much more to explore. Believe it or not, the ice cream here is among the best in the world, and dulce de leche and malbec2 flavors are absolute must-haves. If you’re in the mood for cheese, don’t leave without sampling provoleta – a smoky provolone3 sprinkled with oregano. As for native Andean cuisine, locro, a hearty stew of corn, beans, squash and meat, is delicious。
这个南美洲国家的牛肉和肉馅卷饼很出名，不过还有更多美食等你尝试。不管你相不相信，这里的冰激淋在世界上数一数二，其中牛奶焦糖口味和马尔白克口味冰激淋是一定要品尝的。如果你喜欢奶酪，那你就不能错过品尝奶酪烤饼——一种撒了牛至叶粉的烟熏味波萝伏洛干酪。而安第斯山当地的菜肴炖肉汤——一种玉米、豆子、南瓜和肉一起炖的丰盛菜肴——非常美味。
Brazil巴西
No culinary trip here is complete without a visit to the state of Bahia. First thing to order: Moqueca de peixe, a fish (and sometimes shrimp) stew made with tomatoes and coconut milk. For a satisfying weekend lunch – not unlike American brunch – feijoada4, a heavy stew of beans, meat and sausage, served with rice, can be found all over Brazil. If you’re looking for something lighter, fresh grilled fish with tomato-and-onion salad coupled with a couple of Brahma5 beers is a perfect beach meal。
如果没有去巴伊亚州，那么你在巴西的美食之旅就不完整。第一道要点的菜是炖鱼，就是将鱼(有时还有虾)和西红柿以及椰子汁一起炖。像美国的早午餐一样，丰盛的周末午餐巴西炖菜——豆子、肉和香肠一起炖，配上米饭——在整个巴西都能品尝到。如果你想要品尝一些较清淡的菜肴，鲜嫩的烤鱼、西红柿洋葱色拉，再配上几瓶博浪啤酒简直是一顿完美的海滩餐。
China中国
In Beijing the restaurants in the alleyways of Qian Men are renowned for hot pot, or huo guo. Here you’ll find the streets are lined with boiling pots filled with soup ingredients. Its excellent selections range from Mongolian specialties – best known for lamb and mutton dishes – and spicy Szechuan。
Some 600-plus miles away, Shanghai is best known for its street food, especially soup dumplings. But don’t stop there, Shen jian bao, steamed pork bun, makes for a perfect for snack, while jian bing, egg-based crepes with a bean sauce or chili smear, is a local power breakfast。
北京前门胡同里的餐馆以火锅而闻名。在这里，你会发现街道上到处都是装满汤底的沸腾锅子。可供选择的美味火锅有内蒙古特色火锅——最有名的是羔羊肉和羊肉火锅，以及辛辣的四川火锅。
大概600多英里以外的上海的美食以街边小吃而闻名，特别是灌汤包。不过可不只有灌汤包，还有生煎包——一种蒸熟的猪肉包——是一种很棒的小吃，而煎饼——以鸡蛋为主料做成的薄烤饼，抹上豆瓣酱或辣椒酱——也是当地非常有名的早餐。
India印度
Word of advice: Avoid street food. Try to score an invite to a local dinner table rather than settle for street vendors. Many locals are vegetarian, but Indian cuisine includes a variety of delicious meat and seafood. Grilled minced lamb, seekh kebabs, are the staple of Tandoori6 cooking, while the nation’s coastal regions are renowned for masala (spiced) fish or prawns. Natives advise caution when eating seafood during the monsoon months of June to August due to the increase in water-borne diseases。
While India conjures up images of curries, local specialties are worth digging around for. In North India, never say no to chaat or paani-puri. These delicious crispy crackers are dressed up with condiments7 of the sweet and spicy variety. If you’re in the south, don’t leave without trying fresh coconut. Traveling tappers climb coconut trees, tap the fruit’s blossom and decant the sap into a bottle. As the day progresses, the liquid becomes increasingly intoxicating, transforming from a light, fizzy drink mid-morning and fermenting into a seriously strong alcoholic drink by evening。
忠告：不要吃街边食物。尽量获得当地人的邀请到其家中品尝美食，而不是只满足于在街边摊贩那里品尝。许多当地人都是素食主义者，不过印度菜肴中囊括了许多美味的肉和海鲜。烤羊肉卷——烤制而成的切碎的羔羊肉——是采用泥炉炭火烹饪法烹制而成的常见食物，而这个国家沿海地区的美食则以咖喱(辣味)鱼或对虾而出名。当地人建议在6月到8月这三个季风月份要谨慎品尝海鲜，因为水传播疾病会增加。
提到印度就会让人想起咖喱，当地有许多特色美食值得你搜寻。在北印度，一定要吃“chaat”或“paani-puri”。这些美味松脆的点心可以加各种甜味和辣味调味品。如果你在印度南部，那么就不能不品尝一下新鲜的椰子。流动采集工人爬上椰子树，轻轻地敲开椰壳，将椰子汁倒入一个瓶子里。放上一天，椰子汁会变得越来越醇香，上午还是清淡、有气泡的饮料，到了晚上就发酵成浓烈的酒精饮料。
