You've done a little research about the popular foods in your chosen country now its time to try them out! It's one thing to read about food - you have to smell, taste and fully experience it.TODAY'S CREATIVITY CHALLENGE:
Find a restaurant in your area that specializes in the cuisine of your chosen country. Make a reservation and go! Take a friend and ask your waiter or hostess lots of questions about the food. How its prepared, what they know about the history, what they like and why, what they ate when they were children, etc. This is your chance to get a free interview with an expert! Ask about the herbs and spices used. Ask about the best way to eat - with hands, with chopsticks, with a 25 piece silver set?
If you can't find a restaurant in your area, then look up recipes online and see if you can find the ingredients in a specialty grocery store near you. Maybe someone you know knows someone whose Mom could cook you an authentic meal? If you can't find someone to cook for you, try to do it yourself. Don't be defeated!
